(13y Leased Wire to The Times.) New York, Jan. 20. Ajjain a large crowd fought today for admission to the Thaw trial. News that the dc f use would continue the examination of Evelyn Thaw travelled quickly and It was with difficulty tint the court officers excluded those who did not have passes. The Rev. Dr. Aked, pas tor of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church John D. -Rockefeller's occupied a Beat within a few feet of the witness stand. ; He watched the proceedings carefully, exhibiting the-''greatest In terest In not onl:' the testimony of the wltneus but the methods of procedure. JtVwus the first time he had had an opportunity to witness a trial since his coming to this country. Evelyn .was the (list witness. A. soon as she was summoned Jerome re newed his motion to exclude all spec tators. I The district attorney cited a ruling ! of the higher court excluding nil. save cvmrel, court officers and friends of the defendant from the trial chamber. Tho authorises cited had to do with the trial of "Villiam Kail for murder In Kansas. It was because of the character of the testimony given by a woman that the public was barred on that occasion. Jerome added that because of the hearty co-operation on the part of Mr. Littleton ha, renewed his motion on Friday. Judge Dowllnr; denied Jerome's mo tion to exclude all public. Evelyn Thaw then resumed the stand. Judge Rules Against Jerome. Justice Dowling said: "I have heard the case cited by Mr. Jerome and cannot see how it bears on this one. There is In this utate a law which requires that a defendant shall not only be given a speedy but a public trial. The question now arises, what Is a public trial? The objection hero is not against the ad mittance of the public but against the publication f the testimony. In my oplulon the public 'In. entitled to hear all the testimony. "It is my opinion that whatever damage Is done the morals of the community by the publication In. full of the tentlmony la amply compensat ed for by the safeguard thrown around the defem'i.nt by the preserving of certain constitutional lights." When Justice Dowling had conclud ed. Jerome added that he Intruded tak ing similar action at the first trial and would have done go had he t en fa miliar with tho details of the story of young Mrs. Thaw's relations with Stanford White. With the ruling of the court deny ing Jerome's motion. Littleton took up the examination of his star witness. He had not gone far before Jerome Interrupted with objections to her testimony. Tty Lltt'.eton: Q What did you tell Harry Thaw when he asked you to marry -him? A That I could not. I told him' it was because of Stanford White. He asked me to tell him all about Stan ford White. Q Did you tell him? ' . A-I did. '-- qWIU you tell us what you told Harry Thaw? ' Jerome Kxcitedly Springs to His ' Feet. ' Before the witness had a chance to reply, Jerome sprang to his feet. He began a long argument, the substance of . which was that a conversation three years before the homlcldo could have no bearing on Thaw's mental condition the night of the shooting.
