 "Is it not true," went on Mr. Jerome, reading from a paper, "that in the spring of 1901, so far as your relations with your mother were concerned, that you were getting unruly, that your mother still stuck by you, that a married man"

At this point Mr. Delmas interposed an objection to Mr. Jerome reading from what he termed a statement by Evelyn Thaw's mother.

"If the district attorney wants the mother's testimony in he should produce her on the stand," he said.

"I'd like to, but you know that it is impossible. You know where she is," said Mr. Jerome.

The question regarding Evelyn becoming unruly was allowed to stand.

"No," she answered decidedly.

"Is it not true that that married man was James A. Garland, and that he was getting a divorce, and that you and your mother frequently quarreled about him?"

"No, indeed." Mrs. Thaw drew herself up indignantly and stamped her foot.

"Is it not true that you went alone with him on the yacht?"

"Mamma and I, yes."

"Were you made a corespondent in Mr. Garland's divorce suit?"

Mr. Delmas objected. The record, he said, was the best evidence.
