In a scathing arraignment, Delmas attacks Evelyn Thaw's mother for desertion and complicity, likening her to a harsh, protective bird and condemning her pursuit of diamonds and the defendant's downfall. He portrays a mercy figure as an angel who absolves the girl and refutes societal ruin.
Delmas argues that Evelyn Thaw remained involved with Stanford White until she rebelled, describing her testimony as the full truth under cross examination. He questions why White removed her mother, the child’s protector, at a critical moment on New York’s perilous paths.
Delmas attacks Abraham Hummel's testimony as perjured and unreliable. He cites discrepancies over a supposed Evelyn Nesbit affidavit and accuses Hummel of drafting a fraud to protect White, warning the prosecution could condemn Thaw based on a story born of deceit.
