GRUELLING ORDEAL STARTS FOR MRS. THAW Finishes Her Story Yesterday horning and Jerome Begins on Wife of Defendant -Del-mas Tiies to Protect Her, Bv Associated Press. NEW YORK. February 10. Mrs. Hirrv- Thaw entered on the ideal of 'eja,miiatio taday and boforo Jo ' M? had the witness in charge n lialf , ar t,, hail secured from the court : -img which apparently opens tlio way Ut ttle bringing into the trial of all ,Mnner of eidenee which may tend to jKmtit the defendant's wife. It has heretofore been held that the rules of evidence protected Mrs. Thaw and that rJjrdlevi of whether her story is true or faNe. the fact that she had told it t her huband was the ono essential point. Mrs. Thaw had been allowed to re wit the "tory so that the jury might ' lSe a to the effect in unbalancing (bf min.1 of the man on trial, .lorome bv a simple question opened the way fir the introduction of the testimony tending to show the truth or fnlsity of yrs. Thaw's story. He asked the wit- "Was the story you told Thaw trael" "It wasf" she replied firmly. Delmas, Thaw's leading counsel, ob jected strongly to the question, but .the judge held it to be competont as tend lag to show the credibility of the witness. Will Continue Fight Pelma will continue to fight with fOBStant objections the introduction of any testimony as to any events in the young woman "s life, but the subject of tbe credibility of the witness is a wide one and Judge Fitzgerald indi cated that he would be liberal in his interpretation of the rules. He allowed Jerome to secure from Mrs. J. J. Cain of Boston, a friend of Mrs. Thaw, who took the witness stand during the morn ing session, many material points as to the movements of Thaw and Evelyn Xesbit, following their return from Eu rope, including the published incident of their being ejected from tho Hotel Cumberland in this city, the proprietor iasistiog that they should register as sub and wife or leave their suites, which adjoined. In bringing out these facts Jerome denied that he was attacking Mrs. Thaw and said he was simply testing the credibility of Mrs. Cain. The district attorney seemed reluc tant to begin the cross examination of Mrs. Thaw today, desiring to have the natter postponed until Thursday in or der that he might determine whether further examination of tho witness was necessary on the issues involved in the ease. Nervous at Opening Mrs. Thaw nervously awaited Jer ome's opening questions. They had to l with her signing of papers, some of which the prosecutor declared wero re eeipts for money which Mrs. Thaw hail drawn from the Mercantile Trust com pany in 19i)2, $25 a weok. Delmas pro tested and Mrs. Thaw said she was not are all the signatures were her own. ho provided the money was not developed. Mrs. Thaw's confidence grew as the eraa examination went on and she was always ready with her answers. Jer ome, under the plea of testing her cred ihility, was allowed to ask many per tment questions. He wanted to know when she first heard that she had been amed as a co-respondent in the George W- Ledercr divorce case. Ready for Jerome Delmas quickly objected. Mrs. Thaw whispered something in the car of the attorney, who withdrew the objection. "I read of it in the newspapers," aid the witness, cheerily, when Jerome wpeated the question. Tho prosecutor "ught to show that Mrs. Thaw had ?ne to Lawyer Abe Hummel for advice 'th regard to tho divorce proceedings, but was halted by an objection from Delmas, which the court sustained. Jus hte Fitzgerald said the question had "othing to do with Mrs. Thaw's story to her husband anil did not affect her "edibility. Had Written to Wfalto Jome brought out thnt Mr. Thaw had written to Stanford White from ton! "OCne nftor Tlmro UaA TmnnanA In ber in Paris. "Did yon also cablo White?" ho ked.

Tho latter intends to protect Mrs. Thaw In overy possible way. He moved from his nccustomod placo at tho table to a chair within tho rail, whore tho district attorney Bits. "Pio Girl" Again In completing her direct testimony Mrs. Thaw told of conversations she and her husband had regarding tho fnto of young women at tho hands of White. One of these wns known ns. tho "Pio Girl." She was 15 yours of ago and wore only a gauzo dress when sho sprang from a big pio at a stag dinuor given by White. Tho witness declared that May Mc Kenzie told her that White, whon told that alio and Thaw wero very happy together, had remarked, "Pooh, it won't last. I will got hor back." White-'S Don Described Thaw's letter to Anthony Conistock describing the house or study whoro ho declared White or othor scoundrels hud lured girls, was read. Among tho plncos described was tho houso at West Twenty-fourth street, whoro tho velvet swing and tho mirrored bedroom wero located. Mrs. Thaw identified forty-two letters which sho said wero in tho handwriting of White. They wero not offered in evidence, but Delmas later will try to get them into the case. Grilling tho Witness During the cross oxnminntion Joromo asked: "What day did you return from Eu ro pei" "I don't remombor exactly." "Would it assist your memory if I showed you tho hotol register!" There was no audiblo answer. "When you refused Thaw in Paris did you tell vour motherf" "Yess."' "Did you love him onough to have married him had it not been for the event in your life which you related herot" "Yes." "There was no other reason for your refusal i ' ' "No." 1 ' You wore not thinking of mnrrying anybody else!" "No." "Your mother was careful of you when in Philadelphia?" "Yes." Posed for Men "You posed only for women art ists!" "There were threo men." "I now show you what purports to be tho register of tho Hotel Savoy, under date of Octobor 24, 1903. Is that your signature Evelyn Nesbit and maid, Paris?" "Yes." "Does that refresh your mind? Docs that romind you that you arrived on that date!" "Yes." Jerome here read cxtonsively from Mrs. Thaw's direct testimony, espe cially with reference to the visits she made with White to tho photographer. "Yon fixed date of your ravishment by reference to this visit to the pho tographer, did you not?" Objection Overruled Delmas objected. He said the ques tion related to an event which had noth ing to do with the story she had told her husband. Jerome took another tack. "You were photographed on a polar bear, were you not?" "Yes." "Did you pose in a kimono with your chin resting on tho head of the polar bear?" "Yes." "How many poses wero there?" "I don't remember." All Modest Poses, Too "They wero all modest, decorous poses, which no one could take objec tion to?" "Yes." "These things you told Thaw as having occurred at the hands of White are true?" Delmas sprang to his feet with an objection. "The truth or falsity of her state ments go to her creditability as a wit- ness,' said Justice Fitzgerald, "sue may answer." "Wore those statements truo" re pented Jeromo. "They were," was the firm reply. GITY BUSTERS IN S Suit Filed in District Court for Disincorporation of City of Globe Quo warranto proceedings were insti tuted in tho district court yesterday for the disincorporation of the city of Globe, suit being filed in tho office of the clerk of tho court.

Speciul to the Silver Bolt. PHOENIX, Ariz., February 19. Some malign iufluonco is apparently working against Council Bill No. 40, introduced by Councilman Hunt of Giln county, to validate tho proceedings at tending the incorporation of tho city of Globe. The bill has bcon in tho hands of the judiciary committee for almost the ten-day limit and the committee seems disposed to investigate further the representations mndo by persons from Globe who are opposed to tho in corporation of that city. Iiittlo Business Dono No really now legislation was at tempted today and tho only bill passed by either house was that of Councilman Scott, compelling railroad trains to stop for at least three minutes at county seats. Both houses had brief sossions today nnd only two matters of unusual importance transpired. Contrary to expectations the council took early action on the prison commis sion bill. Tho committoo on territories roported a substitute for the house bill increasing tho membership of the com mission from threo to five nnd passed it under a suspension of the rules. There was little opposition, only four votes against, those of Dickerrunn, Hunt, Weeilin and Rocmcr, two of whom had been in favor of passing the house bill the day before. Thero is said to be no doubt that the house will earl- accept the substitute and tho gov ernor will appoint tho commission with in a few days in order that action may be taken by the present legislature. Railroad Legislation Bell 's railroad tax exemption bill was overwhelmingly defeated in the house this morning by a voto of 18 to 5, al though the real sentiment was 21 to 2. Tho now railroad commission billon troduccd by Crenshaw does not pro pose, as a pending bill, to exert any con trol whatever over the roads or inter fere with rates, but to investigate com plaints and make reports of its findings to tho interstate commerce commission.

ZLXTSS: " w - " ALBERT SIEBER GROSSES I Most Famous of Gila County Citizens Accidentally Killed at Roosevelt Yesterday, CRUSHED TO DEATH BY HUGE BOULDER Veteran of Civil War and Most Noted of All Indian Scouts in Arizona Body Will Be Brought to Globe Today, Al Sieber, Civil war veteran and noted Indian scout, was injtantly killed yesterday morning at Rocsevclt by be ing crushed to death by a huge boulder. Tho news reached Globo shortly after tho accident and much regret was ex pressed among the old timers, especially that this hero of many battles should have finally met his death in such a manner. Sieber, who was in charge of a gang of Indians, had set them to undermining a big rock which weighed several tons, on the Tonto road above tho government dam, called the "high line." The rock became loosened and started rolling down hill. The Indians mado their escape, but Sieber, who was crippled, could not get out of the path of the boulder in time, and was caught by the big rock and his life crushed out. Albert Sieber was 63 years of age and a native of Germany. He came to the. United States when a boy and at 17 years he enlisted in tho -First Minne sota Volunteer Infantry, his enlistment dating March 3, 1862. Ho participated in many of the principal battles of the war and was wounded at Gettysburg, being struck in the head by a piece of shell, and was also shot in the leg. He was mustered out July 15, 1865, after which he returned to Minnesota. Mr. Sieber came west in 1870 and went into the government service as scout and guide July 1, 1871, and was employed continuously in the govern ment service until the fall of 1891, as guide, Indian interpreter and chief of scouts. At San Carlos agency on June 1, 1SS7, Mr. Sieber in an attempt to dis arm recalcitrant Indian scouts at the order of Captain F. E. Pierce, the act ing Indian agent, was badly wounded. The scouts had left without permission to attend the funeral of an Indian who had died and the agent had ordered their arrest. Sieber, who was chief of scouts, and a posse attempted to arrest the scouts, when they opened fire. Sie ber was the only one wounded, being shot through the right leg. The bone was badly shattered and four inches of it was subsequently removed. As a consequence he was permanently crip pled and incapacitated for further ser vice of a strenuous nature. Among the Indian scouts who re belled that day was one who later be came known as the Apache Kid, a no torious Indian outlaw. In Many Campaigns Mr. Sieber served in many of the famous Indian campaigns under Generals-Crook, Miles, Willcox, McCook and Grierson and participated in some- of the fiercest battles with the Indians who were arrayed under Geronimo, Nat chez, Jhu, the Kid and other hostile Apache leaders, ne was a man of great bravery and physical endurance; he spoke the language of the several Apache tribes and gained the reputa tion of being the best chief of scouts who ever served in Arizona. Since quitting the service of the gov ernment the deceased lived almost con tinuously in this county, engaged for the greater part of the time in mining. He wa3 for years associated with Dan R. Williamson and others in the own ership of the Del Shay property on Tonto and the property now owned by the Arizona National Copper com pany on Pinto creek, subsequently dis posing of his interests. For the last two years Sieber was in the, employ of the reclamation service at Roosevelt. Mado Famous toy Writers Al Sieber was made famous as an Indian scout outside of the army rec ords. He was a favorite subject for newspaper men and magazine writers who came to Arizona, and his history, photographs and some of his thrilling experiences have appeared in many of tho leading periodicals, lie is aiso mentioned in several of General King's stories of army and frontier life. Undertaker Fred Jones, accompanied by Al Williamson, left yesterday after noon for Boosevelt and the body will be embalmed and brought to Globe to day to await word from a sister of the deceased as to the disposition of tho remains. The address of Mrs. Lou ise Taylor, who resides in Minneapolis, was obtained from letters in Sieber 's trunk yesterday and telephoned to County Treasurer JDan Williamson, who wired the sad news to Mr. Sieber 's sis ter.
