are. members of the board charged
with-the arrangement of the program
for the naval participation at tlie'ex

cution of the naval programme sub
ject of course, to the orders of Rear
Admiral Roblev D. Kvaus, the commander-in-chief
of- the Atlantic fleet,

chiefs about the preparation whioh he
has in hand.
Admiral Evans will bring north his
entire fleet, how manoenvreing hi the
Carribeau sea, to Hamptoir Roads,
arriving there by April,. 2(i, ,. the day
the exposition is to be 'opened, and.
presenting the grandest pageant' of.
armoured fighting ships ever gathered
under the American .flag. Being
freshly from a comparatively .long
and hard cruise in tropical waters, in
cluding extended drills and target
practice, .the big fighting ships may
not be as pick and- spiy.as American
naval vessels are wont to appear, but
perhaps they will be the more inter
esting to the general public from
the fact that they bear the marks
hard work at sea.- Within a few days
er the oneninir of the' exposition
the great fleet will be "dissipated, the
vessels scattering to the various navy
yards to undergo repairs which always
are necessary at the expiration of
such a cruise as they are now niak

MRS. THAW AGAIN
Lays Bare Much of Her Past
Life in Testimony
RECEIVED MUCH FROM WHITE
Collapse Came When Noon Recess
Was Announced and She Was
Taken to The Witness Room" Miss
MacKenzie Revived Her With
Smelling Salts.
. New York,-. Special. Under the
ifress of a cross-examination in which
District Attorney Jerome gave no
jmartres, Mi's. Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw
broke down upon the witness stand.
With blinding tears burning their way
down cheeks which from ashen white
iad flushed to crimson, she admitted
that after her first experience with
Stanford White her relation with the
architect continued for several
months. But this was not all. There
were other confessions, which, while
3a m aging to her own character, ac
centuated all the more the terrible
personal sacrifice she is making iu the
jffort to save her husband from death
in the electrie chair.
After bringing out that her rela
tions with White continued for. some
time. j(lr. Jerome Went deeper. Mrs.
Thaw admitted that in 193, after the
returnvfrom Europe she spent the
night at Thaw's apartments iu New
i'ork and that for three weeks he
and she ' occupied conecting apart
ments at the Grand Hotel iu this city.
Mi's. Tji"" admitted freely and with
frankness that the champaigne which
she hail declared had tasted bitter
the nigit she lost consciousness in the
mirroitM bed room was jio more bit
ter thsji any other champaigne she
had drink. In fact she declared it
tasted ike all the rest. 1 She denied
that sh l bad intended for the jury to
assume Jptherwise.
Mrs. XThaw made what -was consid-
iSCd;0U-&ap. tbe mor damaging
statement to the defendant wnen sue
said he had showed her . copies of
cablegrams that were being sent' to
Stanford White from Europe asking
him .to use his influence with a cer
tain man in London to prevent Mrs.
Nesbit from "raising a fuss," and
interfering with Evelyn continuing in
the company of Thaw.
Sirs. Thaw also was forced to ad
mit that when she and her mother
went abroad with Thaw in 1903 they
were still drawing upon the bounty
of Stanford White. Evelyn declared
that she had a letter of cerdit for
$40! or $500 which was given to her
by White, and which she later turned
over to Thaw. There was still a bal
ance in the Mercantile Trust Com
pany to her 'order.
"But Mama got all of that," said
the witness.
A recess was taken until Monday.
Mrs. Thaw Cross-Examined.
New -York, Special. In continuing
his cross-examination of Mrs. Evelyn
Xesbit Thaw at the trial of her lijis
hand;' ' District Attorney' Jerome
brought out the fact that iti 1902,
Stanford .White deposited the sum of
$1,3.0 with a New York tntst com
pany with instructions thai it should
he paid to the Xesbit girl at the 'rate
of $25 a week. Mrs Thaw frankly
admitted . receiving ' a number ot'
cheeks i'rom . the trust company, bdf"
she-.Would not :ftdmit that there was
a 'provision that she would treceive
the, money only when nit of employ
ment. The prosecutor spent nearly
the entire afternoon in trying to make
Mrs. Thaw admit that this was true,
but as often and in as many ways lie
put the question to her, she gave the
one answer: "1 don t remember.
Mrs. Thaw's inability to remember
a number of other things about which
Mr. Jerome questioned her was by
far itbe most material element in the
eros-examination. . The district at
torney' delved into the witness ' past '
life with a familiarity as to details
and- a"" store of" general knowledge
which ,at times seemed to amaze all
who heard, not execpting the defend
ant's eounsel .jthemselves,
i Mr. Jerome indicated early in the
questioning that he had no d'spo"'-,
tionto spare Mrs. Thaw's feelings in
aijywa-'. whatsoever. He. interrogate
ed Ijer most 'pointedly as" to her men
acquaintances of the past. He laid
especial stress upon her acquaintance-
ship with James A. Garland, who fig
ured for the. first time 114, the case,
Mrs Thaw said she . knew Garland
before she met Whitei ' 4 .
,Weren't.v you . 'named as co-respondent'
J in 'uflien. Garland, divorce,
case t" asked Mr. Jerome, ' .' . -!
, Mrs.' Thaw was shaking ier head
when ; Mr. Delmas sprang to Jus feet
with an objection. He demanded that
the a-eeord s of the divorce case be
brought into court that it might, speak
for, itself.- Justice Fitzgerald overt
ruled the objection,' but Mr. Jerome
withdrew the question. v ' . , ; ,
