Thornton of Company B. He testified that when aroused by the firing on the night of Aug. 13 be was under the impression that the bar racks were being fired upon by people of the town and that a similar opislon Was expressed by woni¢ other mewbers of his company. He said the reports of firearms sounded to him like revoly- ers and shotguns, He told of the call to arms and of the Inspections, of hearing that Company Cs gum racks had been broken and of his understanding that these had been broken open upon orders of Lieu- tenant Greer of Company C, because the noucommissioned officer baving the keys could pot be found He was cross examined sbarply about the possibility of a soldier get- ting out of the reservation in the night without being detected and sald this could be doue, but he did not think the map could get his arms and get out. It was pointed out that the men al- ready had ammunition, and the witness replied that this ammunition bad to be accounted for at Inspections, and if Any were used the loss would be dis- covered. He sald be had not heard that bullets from army ammunition had been found In the town until after the arrival of Major Blocksom to make an fnspection for the war department Sergeant Fraser was recalled and corrected his previous testimony by saying that be had surrendered his am- munition at Fort Reno instead of at Fort Brown. He sald he had noticed bis error lu a newspaper report of the proceedings. Senator Warner pressed the witnéss closely as to the paper which carried the report, and Senator Scott, acting chairman, declared that Senator Warner was unfair. Senator Warner replied that he was not pre pared to take a lecture, especisily an unjust lecture, and there followed a general discussion as to the manver of examining witnesses. It was general Iy agreed that the senators should pro- ceed as they pleased, The next witness called for by Sen- ator Foraker was Winter Washington, and Senator Overman asked If he had said Booker Washington. “No,” said Mr. Foraker. “Booker Washington is too busy attending to his senatorial duties to come here” He referred to the Interest of Booker T. Washington In the question of having a negro ap- pointed to a federal position In Ohio, patronage which had been regarded as belonging to the senators from Ohlo. Winter Washington was a member of Company D, and his story was not un- like those told by Lis former com- rmdes. His idea of the Brownsville affray, however, was that “Mexican greasers” and “Texasx cowhoys” had done the shooting In order to make trouble for the negro soldlers. Shaw Calis Bureau a Sweat Shep.

Thaw, laid bare ip the crim: inal branch of the supreme court here the story of Ler life, the recital of which is expected Ly the defense to convince the jury that her husband was justified when be shot down Stan ford White, the famous architect and the man who, she declared, first drug- ged and then ruined ber and for whose murder young Thaw Is on trial, As the former chorus girl answered readily the guestions put to her by Delphin M. Delmas, chief counsel for the prisoner, every one in the court room leaned eagerly forward, so as not to miss 8 wond that dmpped from her lips. The pitiful story she told moved every one In the mom. Men wiped the tears from their eyes, while the morbid women who had come to hear the revolting testimony sobbed aloud It was ove of the wost dramatic re citslx ever heard in any court. The girlish wife of the prisoner was in the witness chair practically all day. To save the life of her husband she bared to the world the innermost se- crets of her soul, for the portraval of which a sanctuary was a more fitting place than the crowded, gaping court- room. It was the same story she told Harry Thaw in Paris in 1903 when he had asked her to become his wife—the confession of one who felt there was an lusurmountable barrier to ber ever becoming the bride of the man she loved In the big witness chalr she appear- ed but a slip of a girl, und she told the pitiful story of her eventful young life jo a frank, girlish way When tears came unbidden to ber big brown eyes and slowly (trickled thelr way down scarlet cheeks she strove In vain to keep thew back, Though emotion at times seemed about to smother ber, she forced the words from trembling lips, and by a marvelous display of courage which took ber willingly to her staggering ordeal she shook off a depression which ouce threatened to become an absolute collapse As the young wife unfolded the nar- rative of her girlhood and told the early struggles of herself and ber mother to Keep body and soul together, of how gaunt poverty stood ever at the door and how she finally was able to earn a livelihood by posiug for pho- tograpbers and artists, she won the murmured sympathy of the throug which filled every avallable space in the big courtroom Then came the relation of the wreck of that girlhood at sixteen years of 1ge. It was the story of her meeting with Stanford White, the story of the sumptuous studio apartment whose dingy exterior gave no hint of the luxurious furnishings within, of a vel- vet covered swing In which one could swing until slippered toes crashed through the paper of a Japanese para- sol swung from the celling, the story of a glass of champagne, of black, whirling sensation and of mirrored bedroom walls, In short, she told all the story. “Don’t scream so is nll right.” “And this was Stanford White?" The question came from Delphin M Delinas, now conducting the defense of Harry Thaw, “Yeu, sir” It 1s all over. In was big, bustilng, shoving and snari- lug over some especially coveted seat when court couvensl, was its own trib ite to the effect of the girl's story. Into the narrative there entered noth Ing of the woman of the world, A gir! lu face and fizure, Mrs. Thaw was still a girl as she withstood an onleal which might well have startled into terror a woman of mature years and barsher experiences than hers. Iuto the narrative she Injected many tle touches of a young girl's hopes and dis appointments. Of her carly life she re lated how her mother had gone from Pittsburg to Philadelphia to secure as- sistance and how she and her brother She recalled that the two litle travel! ers bad trouble with the conductor! who wanted (o put their cat out of the car. But, she naively added they held fast possession of it, Just the same. Then came thelr advent in New York, of Ler life here and eventually the acceptance by her mother of the thrice refused invitation of a girl of the theater 10 meet some of her frieuds at Juncheon. The girl's wother told Evelyn's mother they were people in New York society and perfectly proper else she would not let her girl zo with them. “When she came for me in the ban | Som,” sald the witness, “| remember hoping we were going to the Waldorf I had beard so much about it and wanted so to go there.

It was through the fact that she bad “told everything to Harry that she was permitted under the rules if law to give her story to the jury Thaw sat pale but brave faced beside his counsel when his wife took the stand. The two exchanged glances, and the faintest of smiles played about the firmly set lips of the girl. She wore the same blue, long couted dress she has had ou each day of the trial. About her neck was a flat turn down collar uch as Ilttle boys wear, caught to sether by a little black tie In frout Her hair, braided nnd looped well lown on her neck, was caught with a black riblon bow, the ends of vhich peeped ont in dark rellef from whind the cheeks that were pale at irst. but mounted crimson when she was tokl to give all the detalls of her experience with the man who fell a victiu to her husband's pistol. Mrs [haw wore the flat, black velvet Liat rimmed only with one little bunch of violets which had become familiar as A part of her costume. She was un velled, however, for the first time, and lier youth nod beauty were remarked Uy every one.

The girl had identified the writing, but the court beld that the date must also become a matter of competent evidence. Mrs Thaw seemed to appreciate the relist? this incident offered, although during the hour and a half recess for jupeh eon she had recovered from the fatigue of the two hours spent (n the witness chair duripg the morning session As she left the stand for the recess she walked unsteadily and, passing hack of the jury box. ran the fingers of her left band along the wall as a bind person might. The letters. which eventually wers offered In evidence after wuch object Ing by Mr. Jerome and a flood of ar Eument by opposing counsel, are re garded as corroborative of Mrs Thaw's testimony, which she often declared, in response to objection of- fered from time to time by the district attorney, was a repetition of the rea sons she had given Thaw for refusing to become his wife. They also were offered as tending to show the state had heard from Ler own lips the story of the girl he loved and her relations with the man It is clalmed he killed as 8 result of Insanity inherited in part aud Induced by a stress of circom- stancea The letters were written by Thaw to Mr. Longfellow as his attorney They told of his coming marriage with Miss Nesbit and the “row they want to malse” Disconpected and Jerky, jumping from subject to subject, they nevertheless breathe the love he bore The letters Only two of a half dozen of- fered in evidence were read. The oth. ers probably will be presented when court convenes today and Mrs. Thaw Is again called to the stand. In testifying Mrs. Thaw was not al lowed to state the names of certain persons, but by consent of counsel for defense she gave them In w hispers to Mr. Jerojue “in order,” as Mr. Delmas fute muy of ber statements if he can.” Most of the second session was giv ®h over to argument as to the admissi bility of the letters written by Thaw to Mr. Longfellow, but afterward Mrs Thaw continued her story. She told of how she came back from Europe a month ahead of Thaw. During that month friends of Stanford White had told her many stories about (he young Pittsburg millionaire, and when be re turned to America she refused to see bim except in the presence of a thind person. When he asked her why she acted so she told him the stories One was that Thaw had put a gir! fut a bathtub and turned scalding wa ter upon ber. Another was that he was addicted to the use of morphine, and a third declared that he bad tied iris to bedposts and beaten them. “He looked very sad,” she sald. “and told we they had been making a fool of me.
