 *currence with White?" asked Mr. Jerome of the witness.

"Because I had been found out."

"Who told you you had been caught?"

"Friends of Stanford White."

"So it was not because of the occurrence but because you had been found out?"

"It was both together. I had an instinct about it. When Mr. Thaw proposed it was the first proposal I ever had and it all struck me very seriously. It all came together."

"You felt the most heinous wrong had been done?"

"I didn't know anything about it at the time. All I remember is what I felt like when I woke up. I remember that distinctly. I didn't understand what had taken place."

"It outraged every maidenly instinct in you, didn't it?"

"It did, and that is why I quarreled with Stanford White."

"You were very bitter against White when you told Thaw, weren't you."

"Not then."

"When you felt you were giving up Thaw's love you didn't feel bitter against White?"

"Not intensely. Not until Mr. Thaw made me realize it."

"Did you continue to have a feeling of enmity against White?" continued Jerome.
