NEW YORK, June 2G.-Harry Ken
dali Thaw of Pittsburg, brother OF the
Countess of Yarmouth, who shot and
killed Stanford White, the noted archi-
tect last night is a prisoner III the
Tombs today Thaw admits the killing,
pleading that his act was justliiable;
that White wrecked the life of his WIFE,
the beautiful Florence Evelyn Nesbitt,
whose marriage to Thaw scarcely more
than a year ago was one OF the sensa-
sions of the time.
The murder of White was probably
the most dramatic and sensational trag-
cdy this city has witnessed since the
killing of Jim" Fske by +. ). Stokes
more than thirty years ago.
Strange Setting for Crime.
Aside from the prominence of the
principals. the setting for the crime was
unique. Surrounded by more than
thousand persons, who crowded tile
great open air theatcr on the ROOF OF
Madison Square garden, strangely
enough White met his death, on what
has long been recognized as one OF the
greatest monuments to his genus.
Proceedings in the case against the
PRISONER today were carried through
t.IlU unusual rupidIty. From ms cen IN
tie Tcudcrlou police station IhaW was
taken To police headquarters. where ms
plu,ograph was taken and his measure
lHrut~ made: be was arralgHed III ponce

charged with murder and held without
bail. The coroner set tN" inquest Tor
Thursday ana said that counsel on both
sides desired that the case be submitted
10 this months grand jury
Will Plead Insanity.
Thaw's defense probably will be in
sanity and already three noted alienists
have been called in to report on his men

lists. and Dr. McGuire. the TOmhs ply
Siciau had Il short conversation with
Thaw this afternoon. At the close of
