NEW YORK, July $50 grimly re-
lentless was Harry Kendall Thaw Is
pursuit of Stanford White, whom he
killed on Madison Square roof June
25th, that he spent one-fourth of his
income of $4,000 year on detectives,
who were directed to gather such evil
dence against White as would land the
architect in Jail. This was the report
made to the district attorneys office
today. Urged On by hatred Of the man
for whom his girl wife showed such
adherence in fear Thaw would fling
money lavishly into the hands of de-
tectives. Had White accepted the lure
of erticements which were dandled be-
fore him, both by men and women, even
Thaw would have been satisfied by the
sensational police court disclosures that
must have come.
But White was forewarned, and
thus forewarned he pursued pleasures
of his own, arranging with compan-
ions of his own selection. Not one
move of Thaw's men was unknown to
him. A spy reported to white each
plan and movement of the enemy in
ime for him to outwit him.
Mrs. William Thaw, mother of
Harry is to return from England and
bend all her efforts and lavish all her
weelth, if necessary, to save her son
from the electric chair or from i'm
p Ms. nment. She is expected to leave
the Earl of Yarmouth's country seat
at Park Hill as soon as she has rested
and recovered from the shock caused
by the news of the tragedy. Insanity
will be the plea upon which she hopes
TO save Harry from punishment.
Evidence regarding an affidavit
sworn to by Evelyn Nesbitt in con.
temptation, it is believed, of suit
against Harry Thaw short time be-
fore their marriage is likely to be
paced in the hands of the district
Attorney tomorrow. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Garvan is to have a
ak with the lawyer who drew up the
affidavit for Miss Nesbitt. The pros
ocation has been informed that in this
affidavit Miss Nesbit made serious
charges against Thaw, that COM
promise was effected and that Thaw
subsequently married her. Thaw be-
lieved the threatened suit was the work
of white, and if expectations are re-
allied in regard to the matter the
prosecution viii have what is regard.

No attempt has been made to SUBJ
poena the friends of Stanford White
or run down the many stories circu'
lated recently about him. A hunt il
to be made, however, for persons to
whom Thaw is said to have talked in
a threatening way about White. The
district attorney has heard that
Thaw made threats to kill White sew
eral times in restaurants in the hear
ing of several persons. These persons
have not come forward, but the dis
trict attorney is on the track of some
of them.
There is strong belief around some
of the restaurants that Thaw patron
ized literally that he is insane. One
Of those who think so is Charles Il
Rector. According to Rector, Thaw
made scenes whenever any former
friend of his wife even nodded to her
On several occasions Thaw tried tt
hands with his wife, Rector says. His
ections were those of man insane
from jealousy.
