Kt.clUt firoken Into Sit, by Multitude rf Objections Interposed by Jerome. JThaw's Wife Matches Wlta With , DUtrict Attorney and His Assistant, TNew York, Jan. 21. Mrs. Evelyn iNeebit Thaw told bor atory for tho rocond time: The repetition lacked uho vitality of the first recital, but Hbo great crowd In the court, where iur hueuand, Harry Kendall Thaw, Is tra trial for the killing of Stanford (White, listened Intently to every word. '.Justice Dowllng had ruled that ho cfourd no warrant In tho law for clos- ng the doom against the public, and micro wa a great clamor for admit- ilanco from tho throng, which hung sbout tho building nil day long. DIs- frlct Attorney Jerome, falling in his scnovo to oxcludo spectators, took occa- y.ion when it came his turn to cross- "xamlno tho witness to bring out all uf the details of the first trial, which djgBsp 13V12LYN NI3SMT THAW. Mr. Littleton of the defenso had omit Tod on his direct inquiry of tho wit jicsh. Mr. .Toronto also tried to block Mrs. TlKlW'S testimony In its entirety. on tho ground that It was a convorsa- tion which occuned three years before the tragedy and' could not have any bearing on Thaw's mental condition on rJio night of tho homicide. Justice 3)owling overruled tho objection. Mrs. Thaw's story was broken Into !ita by constantly repeated objections from tho piosecutlon, who sought to exclude all details on the ground of 'immateriality. Tho frequent objec tions led Justice Dowllng to request Mr. Littleton to cut his examination as short as possible. Littleton took a.hls course only to find that on cross examination Joromo Insisted upon reading from last year's record nearly "very word' tho witness had then ut tered. He did this under the priv ilege of framing now questions. Littleton's Objections Sustained. Littleton objected to It, declailng that tho district attorney, by reading the former testimony In a disagree ablo manner, was trying to disciedlt her In tho eyes of tho jury when he rould not discredit her In any way ny a. direct question. Jerome made no attempt to disguise a tone of com plete contempt ln reading tho testf raony. Contempt also characterized most of the questions he put to tho (witness, whom ho attacked' in tho loud .st volco ho has yet used at tho trial, ireromo plunged at once Into tho more Intimate details of the testimony and made no delicate ehoico of words in irraniing his Interrogations. I.lttlle ton's objections on tho ground of "of- j'enslvenoss and Impropriety" frequont- Jy wore sustained by tho court. , Mrs. Thaw matched wits against lioth District Attornoy Jerome nnd his :issl8tau(, Mr. Oat van, who was ever nt hla chief's elbow with now sugges fions. Sho fenced with them as skil lfully as she did a year ago and at rimes rollected tho mood of tho dis trict attorney by answering in a volco pitched in as loud a key as his own. Pho prohccutor's pitiless nnd aggres sive questions olten btruclc lire, and once, when Joromo demnnded to know Jf tho young woman had told Thaw certain things, she roplied hotly: , "Yes, I told him, but I did not uso tho laugiidgu you aro using." "Don't argue with me, madam," phoutcd Joromo, who then had tho ie ply stricken fiom tho record. Hut ono feature appeared In tho testimony of tho witness. This was .when sho told about Thaw swallowing the contents of a bottlo of laudanum, ul Monto Carlo lu 100-1. fn an nUomnU kaLV to ond" his life Previously to this, at tho Grnnd hotel, In Now York, Thaw nnd talked of sulcido, his wlfo de clared, and had suggested thnt she also Bhould take poison, aa both tholr lives had been ruined. Mrs. Thnw said she humorod Thaw nt tho time and dlverte:! hh mind. Sho was out of the romi w en ho finally took the poison In Europe. "Why didn't you tell us about this at tho first trial?" demanded .Icromo. "Because Mr. Delmas said It might mnUo Hnrrj out too crazy." Mie wit- hobs retorted beforo the dlurlct at- torney could stop her. Ten Killed In Italian Train Wreck. Milan, Jan. 21.

Missouri Statute Regulating Transfer of 8ulta Held Invalid. Kansas City, Jan. 21. Judgo Smith McPherson, In the United States dls- trlct court hero, declared void and un- constitutional tho otatuto passed by tho Missouri legislature in 1907 for- bidding foreign corporations from transferring suits brought against them from tho state to tho federal courts upon pain of forfeiture of their chaiters. The application of railway companies for an Injunction to pro- vent John E. Swanger, secretary of state, from enforcing the law was granted by the court. "Officers of tho Btato," said Judge McPherbon, In his decision, "too often drcry the power oi the nation. State tights Is their shibboleth. Tho most attractive argument to some lawyers of recent days is that the state coutts alone In the first Instance should pass upon the question as to the validity of state statutes, with tho right or the defendant party to carry tho cate for final decree to the supremo court of the United Slates Such argumrnts are plausible, aro convincing to many good people, but are so dangerous as to.r.!l"1 h.eS,.. -...., ...
