A feature OF Mrs. William Thaw's letter TO
Black. oicott. Gruber & Bonynge which was
commented on last night by lawyers, was that
part ordering the firm to send full statement
OF your account" 70 Mr. Hartridge. the rival
lawyer I'm the case practically giving Mr.. Hart
ridge full authority pass the bill. The
idea Of having lawyer, particularly rival
lawyer, pass on counsel's service is considered
unusual. Mr.. Hartridge, under the wording OF
the letter, will have the chance to pass on the
amount asked by the dismissed lawyers and
then advise Mrs William Thaw
The conference which took place az Roslyn on
Tuesday night is understood TO have hnaly
caused Mrs William Thaw TO come around to
her sons way of thinking. At that conference
were Mrs. William Thaw. Mr.. and Mrs. George
Lauder Carnegie. Mrs. Harry X. Thaw, Josiah
C. Thaw and one or two other members Of the
family. Mrs Harry K. Thaw, il is understood,
did most Of the talking. and practically by her
own argument showed her mother-in-law where
she was in error and caused her TO change her
mind. The women. who had been estranged be-
fore that time. became friends again and are
now working a common basis, and all MEM
that of emotional insanity. which they believe
they will save the prisoner.
Mrs. William Thaw and Mrs. Harry K. Thaw
returned from Roslyn yesterday morning. They
did not wait for an electric brOugham at the
East Saith street ferryhouse, but had coupe
take them 70 the Torbs. They walked IN arm

Gently secured by John 3. Gleason Of counsel
for the defence he is without power to subpoena
any witnesses. The writ also applied to the July
grand jury, which was powerless in the matter.
Justice ATacLean, in the Supreme Court, still has
the matter under Amusement and until he hands
down an opinion the examining OF witnesses
must be deferred.
It is learned, however, that the District At
torney's Office has evidence at its disposal which,
II proved, will go a long way TO show that
