By Associated Press.

CHICAGO. March H.—Mrs. DoraMcDonald, wife of Mlenael McDonald,was today held to await the action ofthe grand jury on the charge of mur-dering Webster S. Gnertn February 21.

The preliminary hearing was heldIn the cell of Mrs. McDonald in thecounty Jail, her attorney having de-clared that her health would be Im-periled if she was compelled to appearIn court.

When the matter of the affidavit issettled Mr. Jerome will announce thatthe people rest, and Mr. Delmai willtlien take up the work of sur-rebuttal.As he intends to call several alien-ists, and < hi Lrfcl Attorney Jeromehas contented himself with extensive<TosK-examinatiun of this class, thereIs no way to t.-11 just how long thodefenße will take in putting its lamevidence to the twelve men who aroto decide Thaw's fate.

Mr.Dc-lmas willprobably have youngMrs. Thaw take the stand and repeatthat she did not know the contentsof the paper. It will then be for thejury to decide between tho prisoner'swife and the convicted lawyer.

Harry Thaw's confidence Instead ofdiminishing with the closing hours ofthe case seems to Increase. His mother,his wife and the Countess of Yarmouthhis sister, called upon him in the Tombstoday and reported that he was inhigh spirits.

Delmas Is WillingDelmas said yesterday that the de-

fense probably would offer no objec-tion to this. He referred to the "ques-tionable shape in which this evidencecomes." and apparently will contenthimself with the attack he made uponthe credibility of Hummel as a wit-ness.

In it the young woman is said to havesworn that the stories concerningWhite were untrue and that HarryThaw beat her when she told him thatthere was no truth in the statementthat White had betrayed her.

Justice Fitzgerald has permittedHummel and his clerk to testify to themaking of the affidavit, evidently inorder to allow Mr. Jerome to put thepapers in evidence and held whateverof the contract he desires to go to theJury.

When court convenes Monday Mr.Jerome willpresent the last bit of evi-dence he has for the prosecution. Hewill renew his request of Friday after-noon to Justice Fitzgerald for the ad-mission of photograph and carboncopies of the affidavit of Evelyn Nes-bit, said to have been made in Abra-ham Hummel's office. This affidavit,Mr. Jerome contends, is competent inorder to contradict the statement thatMrs. Thaw was drugged and berayedby Stanford White.

Probably the greater part of nextweek willbe consumed by the defense,and the case may not go to the juryuntil after March 25.

NEW YORK, March 16.— AttorneyDelphin M. Delmas conferred with hisassistants in the defense of Harry K.Thaw today, mapping out plans for thesur-rebuttal work at the trial which,

when resumed Monday, will be enter-ing its ninth week.

Applications were made today to thsdistrict attorney's office for additionalsubpoenas for the defense.

this story, but what Paul de Longpredid Is Interesting to relate,

i"Tea, madam, Iam De Longpre. I•JTn glad to know you. Perhaps you\u2666would enjoy seeing some of the flowers.">jAnd with that he pointed out manySpecimens of more than ordinary

\u25a0 j||»auty, cutting1oft a fragrant rose hero.or a passion flower there until theRoman's arms were loaded with blos-soms.~» The woman left the grounds unde-cided whether the artist's pictures orthoroughly democratic manner of re-ceiving visitors had impressed her themost.'

But the combination, that of viewing4fhe work of the world's greatest flowerfie work the world's greatest flower

ilnter and being received In such a\u25a0Simple and yet such a natural and In-formal manner made an ImpressionVhich she will probably carry withher•from Hollywood and the cozy spot thatPaul de Longpre calls home.*^v '' '.-_.-_ Painting the Passion Flower

Just now the great artist is pro-ducing a "Study of the Passion Flower,"a picture which, when finished, willbe'among his best efforts, even though

ehiehch picture which comes from hislirush

picture which comesmore thansh appeals to some one more than

\u0084the,,the others, and all are of unquestionedmerit.

-*"ThePassion flower," said M. de Long-

jre, "is really a wonderful flower, andyet, as far as Iknow, few ifany artists«|*ave

"is really

study of it to the extentt, as far as Iknow, few ifany artistsye made a study of it to the extent

rif putting it on casvas. Iam cer-tain, however, that when I havefinished the picture more attention willDe given to It than anything Ihave pro-duced inyears."

Lending the way to where the un-finished picture was reposing on an

•easel, the artist pointed out the beau-ties of the flower which have already

.been embodied in the picture, and oneglance at other finished products of hisbrush was sufficient proof that tne,

Study of the Passion Flower" willbeas near perfection withina few days asis possible for a flower painter to pro-duce.

Another picture, Just finished, is a"Study in White Cosmos." The beau-

tiful flowers are portrayed as naturalbut though they were growing in theartist's garden, from which spot, of

\u25a0(course, the original blossoms wereselected.

£-*;. When Work Is PlayjnShasta daisies as large as saucers

\u0084are,,are reproduced in another wonderful(plcture. Then there Is "Water Liliesand Heliotrope in an Indian Basket."This is among the best of recent pic-tures, although one might easily spend•liours admiring "Cherokee Roses,"'Gold of Ophlr," "Scablosa" and otherpictures which week after week andmonth after month come from DeLongpre's brush.c

-: ."Sometimes," said the artist, "Ipainta picture for myself. That is, I takespecial pains with a bunch of flowersand make up my mind Inr.r i

,touristor Los Angeles citizen shall iave the

'picture when finished, at a, \u25a0 piice. Butbo • far Ihave been unb, «3sful Inkeeping them. This, of cmrse. is a

\u25a0pretty compliment on the part of those\u25a0W.ho love art, but Just the same Idis-like to part with pictures into which Ihave thrown my whole soul.

\u25a0 "Not long agoIgathered a bunch ofviolets. They were so pretty and daintythat Idecided to reproduce them for

\u25a0 myself. Taking up my brush Istartedto work, or rather to play, for it Is.simply play for me to paint my favoriteSowers.

"And do you know it seemed as ifIcouldn't even stop to go to dinneruntilIhad finished. When "The Bunch

\u2666of Violets" was framed I carried the"'Picture to my room and put It away.'Wo one shall have it,Isaid to myself.•I will keep Italways. ButIdidn't.•v "Within a week a gentleman called\u0084and,,and asked especially to see a picture ofViolets, his favorite flower. Without

\u2666thinking, 1 brough forth the one IhadtJust finished for myself, and he imme-diately asked what It was worth> " 'Oh, It's not for sale,' Itold him.V "'Not for sale?' ho asked. Why Isupposed you would sell any of yourpictures if the price was satisfactory

.At least that is what that sign overthere says.'"

"And as he spoke Iglanced towardthe Blip of cardboard and wished withall my heart that it had not caught his'eye.

tHf la Also a Composer• "Well, Ifyou like It and will pay the•price Iwillsell it, but reallyIpreferto keep it.y "

'And the price?' he asked.."'Five hundred dollars.'

i:"

'I'll take it,' was all he said, and'The Bunch of Violets' changed hands

\u25a0then and there."n But IfPaul de Longrpre loves to paintflowers he also loves music, and 1 had

Snot been talking to him fifteen mln-•\u25a0utes before Idiscovered that he holds•flowers and music on almost equal\u25a0terms.'.- "•

•\u25a0" Compositions of the Hollywood artist,by th« way, have been of more than'passing merit. In a recent lsntio of the

Musical Courier, in speaking of several"compositions of Mr. do Longpre, a.special writer says:;.". '.These compositions show the ceH-brated painter of flowers has taken a'long step forward In his newly chosencareer an a poet ami composer of music..They have character, Individuality,. sentiment, patriotic impulse and ex-cpresslon."
