TELLS HEB STMT
Gives Motive For Husband's Alleged
Insane Act
LIFE LAID BARE IN COURT
Left in Stanford White's Care by Her
Mother, She Says He Induced
Her to Drink Wine, Then All
Became Black.
New York City.?Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw, the wife of Harry K. Thaw,
laid bare in the Criminal Branch of
the Supreme Court the story of he^,
life, the recital of which was expected
by the defense to convince the jury
that her husband was-justified when
he shot down Stanford White, the
man who, she declared, first drugged
and then ruined her.
As the former chorus girl answered
readily the questions put to her by
Delphin M. Deimas, cniei couusei iui
the prisoner, every one in the court
room leaned eagerly forward, so as
not to miss a word that dropped from
her lips. The pitiful story she told
moved every one in the room. Men
wiped the tears from their eyes, while
women sobbed aloud. It was one of
the most dramatic recitals ever heard
in any court.
Never before had the grim court
room held a bigger crowd or one
wrought up to such a pitch of excitement.
The defense had put forward
its star witness.
A more girlish figure that that
which answered when Clerk Penney
called Evelyn Nesbit Thaw could
scarcely be imagined. She wore a
loose jacket of dark blue, such as
many a schoolgirl wears, and a dark
hat of childish cut decorated with a
bunch of violets. About her neck
she wore a wide turndown collar of a
mot' fied Little Lord Fauntleroy design
and a soft lawn tie of black tied
in a bow. Her hair, while not nanging
loosely down her back, was half
caught up and tied with a black ribbon
in a sort of pug at the back cf
her neck.
The court room saw her without
a veil for the first time since the trial
began. There was disclosed a pretty
face, small of feature, but regular in
cut, a pair, of large black eyes, very
soft and ~very pleading, a pair of
straight eyebrows of heaviest black, a
mouth large but not unpleasing,
whose lips parted to disclose two
rows of very white teeth.
Mrs. Thaw was called by the defense
to supply the testimony needed
to support its contention that the defendant
had learned something about
the architect's treatment of Evelyn
Nesbit that had caused an Insane
idea to form in his brain that grew
with the years until it culminated in
the impulse that caused him to shoot
White on Madison Square roof garden.
In her story Mrs. Thaw gave a motive
for the shooting by laying her
ruin to Stanford White. She had
fi;-st been led by Mr. Delmas to tell
of the dinner at the Cafe Martin, the
shooting on the roof garden and of
her marriage to Thaw on April 4,
1905. Then the examining lawyer
jumped back to thesummer of 1903,
when she and Thaw were in Paris. It
was at this time, she said, that Thaw
first proposed marriage to her and
she had refused htm.
"In stating the reasons to Mr.
Thaw why you had refused him, did
you state a reason based on an event
of your life with which Stanford
iWhite was connected?" Mr. Delmas
aaked. i
"Yes," said Mrs. Thaw.
Then, in the form of a relation of
the confession she made to Thaw,
the witness told of meeting White,
through a girl friend, in August,
1901, when sLe was only sixteen
years old. She went to a luncheon
party given by White at a house in
West Twenty-fourth street, she said,
and after that met the architect several
times, always with the knowledge
and consent of her mother.
Sometimes the parties were in the
Twenty-fourth street house and some
limes in wanes apartments xu me
tower of Madison Square Garden.
After the acquaintance had been
continued for some time, she said,
.White asked her mother if she didn't
want to go to her home in Pittsburg.
Mrs. Nesbit objected that she did not
like to leave her daughter, but White j
promised to look out for her, and
Mrs. Nesbit left town, the witness
said.
Two days afterward White sent her
a note to come to a party at the
Twenty-fourth street house, and she
went there after the theatre. Only
White was present, she said. After
supper, White invited her to Inspect
a part of the house she hadn't seen,
and tney went upstairs to "a strange
room" filled with cabinets, paintings,
etc. Adjoining was a bedroom, with
a "tiny little table" in the centre, on
which was a bottle of champagne and
one glass. At White's urgent solicitation.
she said, she drank a glass of
the wine, and "I don't know whether
it was a minute after or two minutes
after, but a pounding began in my
cars, then the whole room seemed to
go around, everything got very
black."
The girl's voice broke at this
point, and, although she did not
break down, it was only with the
greatest effort she forced back the
tears. Some of the women in the
courtroom sobbed openly, and more
than one man used his handkerchief

portion of lier testimony was reached.
Then he buried his face in a handkerchief.
and his body shook with
emotion. His eyes were tear stained
and red when he next leaked up.
White's subsequent conduct, as related
by Mrs. Thaw, was cynical in
the extreme. In spite of this confession
Thaw insisted that he would
marry her if she would love him. declaring
that no one could blame 1:?h'
for her misfortune. They quarreled,
and she came back to New York.
By a most adroit maneuvre of the
defense all this astounding story told
by Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was introduced
in the guise of information imparted
by her to Thaw. As such it
was admissible only as tending to
demonstrate its influence upon the
sane or insane condition of his mind
- at a later period.
Just before the midday recess was
reached and after Mrs. Thaw had told
of the struggles of her earlier life,
how she had eventually come to pose
for artists and then went on the
staee. Mr. Delmas tried to get into
evidence a letter Thaw wrote and
gave to Miss Nesbit, addressed to F.
W. Longfellow, his legal adviser in
this city. After recess, by a series of
adroit moves, Mr. Delmas succeeded
in having the letter admitted as tending
to show the condition of Thaw's
mind after the confession the girl had
made to him. It was a rambling
communication, and to it was pinned
another slip of paper, on which was
written: "P. S.?If you can't read
this, don't trouble."
In the third letter admitted and
read, Thaw spoke of the strain he
was under, and gave evidences of it
in many rambling, almost incomprehensible
statements.

Ontario & Western Locomotive
Biows Up Near Luzon, N. Y.
FEEDER PIPES BAD FROZEN
Train Cunning 40 Miles an Horn*
When the Cars Seemed to Strike
Obstruction ? Coaches Ditched
on the Rebound.
Middletown, N. V.?Two men were
blown to pieces, a third is fatally
hurt and twelve passengers were injured
by the bursting of the boiler
of a locomotive of the Ontario and
Western road just south of Luzon,
Sullivan County. The engine was
drawing No. 3 train, one of the finest
on the road, and was making forty
miles an hour when suddenly there
was a terrible roar and the sound of
ripping and -tearing of iron. The
train of -cars rammed the wreck and
four of them left the rails. When
the steam cleared away there was
nothing but scrap iron left of the
locomotive. One hundred feet away
in a field was the shattered body of
Martin Mullen, the fireman. Fifty
feet from Mullen's body the engineer,
William Gadwood, was lying unconscious
and fatally hurt.
There was a third man riding in
the cab of the locomotive and he was
blown into many fragments. He is
believed to have been J. D. Valouette,
an engineer off duty, who was going
to his home in Cadosia. The cause
of the strange accident is said to have
been the freezing of the pipes between
the tank and the boiler. This
caused the boiler to beebme overheated
and when the cold water was
finally turned on the explosion resulted.
None of the passengers were
seriously injured, and they were attended
by Dr. Percy Deady, of the
Loomis Sanitarium, Liberty, who was
on the train.
The train left New York and
reached here on time. There were
fifty passengers on the train. In less
than an hour dispatches were received
here from Luzon that the train
was wrecked, and calls for a relief
train accompanied the news. Without
delay a train was made up here,
with physicians and a wrecking crew,
and started at high speed for the
scene of the accident. The distance
was thirty-three miles, but it was
covered in record time. When the
relief train came up with the wreck
four of the cars were ditched.
The passengers were all out of the
cars. . Those who were not injured
were standing about helplessly in the
cold. Beside the track the conductor,
Charles E. Doell, and the baggagemaster,
Peter Reily, were found
painfully injured. The physicians
found Doell was suffering from a
broken shoulder bone and internal
injuries, and Reily probably had a
permanent back injury.
Officials of the road began at once
an investigation of the wreck. They
learned from the passengers that the
train was bowling along at forty
miles an hour on a level stretch t>f
road, and that there was not the
slightest suggestion of there being
anything wrong. Suddenly there was
hear'd what the passengers described
as a "horrible roar" and the cars
seemed to be thrown upon one another.
They seemed to strike an obstruction
and rebound. It was in
the rebound that four of the coaches
were ditched.
FARMERS BURN HOUSES.
Crave Conditions Prevail in Canada
Because of Fuel Famine.
St. Paul, Minn.?Telegrams from
the Canadian border just north of the
North Dakota boundary show that a
grave condition prevails there owing
to the fuel famine and the blockade
of railroads. Three families of new
settlers have merged their effects into
one household while the homes of the
remaining two are being torn do?/n
and burned to keep the families from
freezing. The plan has been adopted
by scores of farm families. Where
grain was not shipped it is being
burned as fuel. Thirty-one dead
bodies frozen in homestead shacks
or on the prairies have been
brought into the various towns of the
Northwest, and it is expected that the
list will be swelled to half a hundred
by the time the snow disappears.

London.?The Government has
given the country to understand that
it will make a serious attempt to
abolish the Houso of Lords as a legislative
body. This revolutionary
measure, which was first hinted at
by the late Mr. Gladstone in the crisis
over the Home Rule bill, will now become

House of Lords has created a sensation,
declared thai the Liberals were
entering upon a work of grim and
serious character, which would nfiean
revolution, and which would involve
two or three dissolutions of Parliament.
The House of Lords, he declared,
was entirely out of harmony
with modern democratic institutions
and mu3t go down. Whether anything
of it would be left and, if so, in
'what form, they could not yet determine.
If the House of Lords set itself
against the national will it would

he said, by means of bills which

Oak, Ind. Ter^ writes:
"Six years ago I had la grippe, followed
by systemic catarrh. The only thing 1
used was Peruna and Manalin, and I have
been in better health the last three yeahi
than for years before."
Mrs. Jane Gift, Athens, Ohio, writes:
"She years ago 1 had la grippe very bad.
My husband bought me a bottle of Peruna.
I was soon able to do my work."
Saluting a Cat. !
In Poona, at the government house, |
f<Jr more than a quarter of a century |
every cat which passed out 01 tne
front door at dark was saluted by the
sentry, who presented arms to the
terrified pussy.
It seems that in 183*8 Sir Robert
Grant, governor of Bombay, died in
the government house, Poona, and on
the evening of the day of his death
a cat was seen to leave the house by j
the front door and walk up and down
a particular path precisely as the late
governor had been used to do after
sunset A Hindu sentry observed
and reported this to the sepoys of
his faith and they laid the matter I
before a priest, who explained to
them the mystery of the dogma of
the transmigration of souls. "In
this cat," he^said, "was reincarnated
the soul of the deceased Governor
Grant, a,nd it should, therefore, be
treated with the military honors due
to his excellency."
As, however, the original sentry
could not identify the particular cat
he had seen on the evening of the
day of Sir Robert's death it was decided
that every cat which passed
out of the main entrance after dark
? - ? it.. x? i
should be saiutea as me avatar ui
his excellency. Thus for over a quarter
of a century every cat that passed
out after sunset had military honors
paid to it, not by Hindu sentinels
alane, but?such is the infection of a
superstition?by Mohammedan, native
Christian and even Jewish fcldiers.?South
