March 19 —There now | remain but four expert witnesses to be examined in the Thaw murder trial before the taking of evidence closes Three experts were disposed of In a {little wore than an hour, so It Is gen lerally believed that the last word of | { evidence may Le uttered In the famous | jcase today.

The affidavit proved a surprise only In the alleged iseverity of the assaplts Harry Ko Thaw is sald to have made upon Eve lyn Nesbit daring their trip through Europe in 1%3 when according to the testimony of Abmham Hummel, { Miss Neshit wonld not sign statements | { which Thaw had prepared accusing| Stanford White of having drugeed and | rulped her. i In this affidavit Miss Neshit charges Thaw with having attacked her with a cowhide whip while they were stop- | ping at an old castle In the Austrian | Tyrol and lashing her bare skin until! she became faint from the pain and | swoulied.

In or- {der that the defense might not pre- | vent bim from telling the story of the | making of the AMdayit he stated posi. | tively that he was not actiog as Miss | Nesbit's attorney when he drew up the document, that he was acting solely {In the Interest of Stanford White and { that no legal action was contemplated {In behalf of the young woman who is | now Harry Thaw's wife | There was considerable surprise con- i sequently when Mr. Jerome read the {opening words of the affidavit, which | were: “Supreme court, county of New York | ~Evelyn Nesbit, plaintiff. against Har- {ry Kendall Thaw, defendant.” | It Is sald the action contemplated when the affidavit was made was the recovery of certain property which It was alleged Thaw bad wrongfully taken from the girl. Iu dictating the affidavit Hummel referred to himself as Miss Nesbit's attorney, she belug reported to have said “1 have received certaluy letters and cablegrams fromm Thaw which 1 have turned over to wy attorney, Mr. Abra. ham H. Hommel.” The affidavit Is also indorsed “Howe & Hummel, attorneys for plaintiy When Mr. Delmas began the intro duction of testimony In surrebutial he introdaced rst of all the record fu the trial and conviction of Hummel on the charge of conspiracy. He started to read the entire record, but had uot reached the remarks Mr. Jerome made at the sentencing of Hummel and which Mr. Delmas wanted to present to the jury when Mr. Jerowe sald be would admit the entire record without objection. Mr. Delmas then sald be would save the district attorney's ref erences to Hummel for the defense's summing up. Next Mr. Delmas put upou the stand three policemen who saw Thaw the night of the tragedy or early in the morning after, and they all declan that he either looked or acted trration ally. To two of them he complained of hearing young girls’ volces.
