"What subsequent things?"

The prosecutor caught up Mrs. Thaw's own words?"

"Things with Stanford White," replied Mrs. Thaw.

"Were they improper and indecent?"

"I don't know what you would call them."

Mrs. Thaw then testified that while she was in London, before her marriage, her mother compelled her to write a friendly letter to White.

"While abroad did you tell your mother of your experience with White."

"No."

"How did you know Stanford White's friends knew of your relations with Stanford White?"

"One of them saw me with him at the East Twenty-second street studio."

"Was there any impropriety there?"

"Yes."

"So you continued to maintain relations with Stanford White?"

"Yes, for a time."

Thaw buried his face in his hands. Tears were in Mrs. Thaw's eyes and she broke into sobs.

Mr. Jerome demanded the name of the man who had seen her at the studio. He asked the witness to whisper it.
