HUMMEL TO TELL

OF EVELYN THAW
Slayers Wife I Satisfied With Way
Trial Is GoingReceives No
Large Sums of Money From
I Family She Says
r It is now practically certain that Abe Hummel the disbarred lawyer
win be brought next week from Blackwells Island where he is nov
serving a twelve months sentence to repeat in the second trial of Harry
fThaw the startling testimony which he gave for the first time nearly a
I
year ago
It develops that last week Thaws lawyer Martin W Littleton
asked the consent of the District Attorney for the reading of the evidence
given in the other hearing of the Stanford White murder case by Dr
Uohn A Bingamon the family physician of the Thaws who was ill of
pneumonia at his home in Pittsburg
1 will acree to have ningimons
Ustlmony read If jou will agree to
bATe Abe Humm testimony read
aid Jerome
I wont do that Littleton I re
ported to have said I will bring Dr
BiOKamon her from his sick b
And I said Jeromo will brim Abe
Hummel hero from his sick bed In the
penitentiary hospital
Dr Blngamon now almost recovered
will reach N 0 York tomorroR Mon
day he Is to tell of Thaws sickliness In
infancy and his peculiar
P < conduct as a
boy Tils Is in line with the plan of
the defense to show Thaw wa mentallv
w aJr from birth
To Tell of Affidavit
When th
defense rests Jerome will
etrer as a wltne
Lfa In rebuttal the dIe
barred layer Ostensibly hili object
will be to have Hummel contradict
parts of tho story of Harry Thaws
f wife but in reality his object will he
to get to the present Jury Hummflls
I own account of the famous affidavit
which he aweara Evelyn Xesblt made I
> at his office In tho fall of 1P03 after
I i her first trip to Europe with Harry K i
IballIhe affidavit In which she Is
I quoted as easing that Thaw practically
I kidnapped her that he was a victim
of drug habits and that he made a
practice of beating her with a dog
Whip until she was mentally and phjsl
cally prostrated during a great part of
her wanderings over the continent with i
I
the man she afterward married
Thaws wife was not a bit discon
certed at the prospect of Hummel
counter testimony when she reached the
Tomb on her regular dally visit to
Murderers Row
The trial Is going along exactly I
I Tight she said to a reporter for Tho
c Evening World and even If It wasnt
I what would be the use of pulling a
wry face T
faceCourts Fair Criticism
This time last year when I knew
leas about criminal courts than I do
now I wns worrlpd bv a lot of things
seemed to he Now
that me to wrong I
I know that lawyers know their own
business best I have learned too
omethlnr about the way newspaper
men iro at their work In a big trial
I dont mind a fair unbiased ac
count of tho preceding no matter If
Lam criticised but I do object to some I
of the wild stories that are printed
about me I must say also that I do
not care particularly for some of the I
n tho women writers have called
me Ono of them said the other dav
that T was a woman without a soul 1
wonder If her own past would stand a I
strIct analytical test and If ho would
look then as white as she now ap
pears
It has been said that I have got
large sums of money from Harry
people That Is a lie I have not a cent
I
of my own and I am Just an happy
without It as I would he with It
Another writer said that I married
Thaw for his money I would have
married him long before I did If thn
barrier of wealth hail not stood be

I confess I am fond of good thing to
eat and to wear I like camasbark
