May Prevent Wife Testifying For Thaw Trial
New York December 24. In the Barker Thaw case prosecutors seek to bar Evelyn Nesbit Thaw’s testimony about the events leading to Stanford White’s shooting. Jersey City officials study New Jersey records and aim to mirror Parker’s earlier prosecution strategy, seeking to exclude alleged prior insult and assault details as grounds for the crime. Barker, who killed no one, was convicted of assault with intent to murder in 1901 and sentenced to five years with later parole.
