! JEROME MAY DISCHARGE THAW
New York's prosecuting attorney thought to be con
sidering question of setting famous prisoner free=
Evelyn Nesbit's story makes marked impression
Continues story of White's persecutions
New York, Feb. 9? Evelyn Thaw con
tinued her story on the witness stand
yesterda.v afternoon and this morning.
She said that after marriage to Harry
Thaw Ssnford White did all within his
power to cause her to break her marri
age vows. She said that he threatened
to expose her former relations with him
if she would not come to his apartments i
alone. The knowledge of the conduct
and attitude of White toward her so i
worked upon her husband, she said,
that he felt called upon to kill White
as a duty he owed his wife and himself.
District Attorney Jerome has been
greatly moved by the straightly told j
story of Mrs. Thaw. It is Delieved that j
he intends to dismiss the case against i
Thaw entirely. That he will do that j
or make only a formal request from the j
jury for verdict is thought to be cer- !
tain. Today, alter the morning session,
he said to the newspaper reporter-,
"God forbid that we try to controvert
that girl's testimony."
During the time Mrs. Thaw was on
the stand Jerome refused to raise legal
objections to the relevancy of any part
of her testimony. He sat quietly, at
times evidently striving with his emo
tions, intently watching' the witness as
she gave her testimony. His only
questions seemed to be directed toward'
making the facts plain reg?rdle9s of the
fact that they counted for the prisoner.
Mrs. Th?w shows plainly the suffer
ing she has endured during the month*
she has been preparing for the ordeal
she is undergoing. Her apearance is frail
and pathetic. She is but the ghost of
the beautiful EvelyD Nesbit, the favor
ite model of New York artists, whose
portraits have been the admiration of
two continents.
