 "This is all what you told Mr. Thaw," put in Mr. Jerome.

"It was," said young Mrs. Thaw, "I told him everything."

There was a halt in the testimony here while Mr. Jerome and Mr. Delmas whispered.

"How were you dressed?" asked Mr. Delmas.

"I wore a short dress, with my hair down my back."

The witness said they went up into another room, where a big Japanese umbrella was swinging.

Mr. Jerome objected to the testimony on the ground that he would have no opportunity to prove or disprove the facts alleged. Mr. Delmas said the defense would offer no objection to the district attorney probing the correctness of the facts.

Mrs. Thaw then said that afterward she and her companion went for a drive to the park, then returned to the house with White. She said when she got home she told her mother everything that happened.

"Did your mother subsequently receive a letter from Stanford White?" was asked.

"She did."

"What was in the letter?"

"It asked my mother to call on Mr. White at 160 Fifth avenue."

"Did you tell Mr. Thaw about that?"

"I did."
