continued the witness. One afternoon in Madison Square garden Mr. Barrymore said to me, 'Evelyn, will you marry me?'"
Mrs. Thaw pronounced the name with a long "e."
"I answered him, and said, 'I don't know,'" she went on.
"White asked me if I would marry Barrymore and said, 'If kids like you get married, what would you have to live on?"
"Every day after that when I would meet my mother she would ask me if I intended 'to marry that little pup Barrymore,' saying Mr. White was afraid I would.
"Mr. White then came to see me and said I would be very foolish to marry Mr. Barrymore: we would have nothing to live on, would probably quarrel and get a divorce. He also said Mr. Barrymore was a little bit crazy, that his father was in an asylum, and he thought the whole family was touched. He was certain Mr. Barrymore would be crazy in a few years, and for that reason said I ought not to marry him.
"Mr. Barrymore asked me a second time if I would marry him, and again I said, 'I don't know,' and laughed. The upshot of the whole matter was that Mr. White came and said I ought to be sent to school, and I was."
Mr. Delmas had asked Mrs. Thaw if Thaw had told her the fate of other girls 'at the hands of this man White?'
