HARRY TRAVIS MOTHER
 BUSINESSES HER COUNSEL
YIELDS TO PERSUASION OF HER SON AFTER FAMILY
 CONFERENCE.

Sends Letter to Black, OIcott, Gruber GG Bonynge in Which She Says That After Fully Considering the Matter She Has Decided That Her SOn's PO- sitfOn is Right--AslSs Firm to Turn Over Letters, Notes, Memoranda, Etc, to Attorney HartFidge.
 New York, Aug. 1.-Yielding to the persuasion of her son Harry, Mrs Will liam Thaw to-day dispensed with the services of the firm of Black, Olcott, Gruber 6, Bonynge, whom she had re- tained to conduct the defense of the young man on the charge of murdering Stamford White. Following family counsel at the residence of her daugh- ter, Mrs. Carnegie, at Roslyn, L. l., and at which Mrs. Harry Thaw was pres- ent, Mrs. William Thaw to-day sent the following letter to her counsel:
 August l. 1906. Messrs. Black, Olcott, Gruber & Bon ynge, ITO Broadway, New York city:
 Gentlemen: After fully considering the question l have decided that my son's position is the right one.
 Will you therefore kindly deliver to Messrs. Hartridge and Peabody, 149 Broadway, all documents, letters, notes, memoranda, data and all papers you have for me and full statement of your account.
 Thanking you for your courteous att tention to my wishes during the past two weeks, I remain,
 Very truly yours,
 M. c. THAW.
 Former Governor Blacks firm was engaged by Harry Thaw to take charge of his defence a few days after the tragedy. IA disagreement occurred be- tween the prisoner and MT. Olcott on the question of the line of defense to be adopted, the latter insisting on the plea of insanity, to which Thaw was analterably opposed. A day or two be- fore his mothers arrival from Europe Thaw dismissed his counsel and placed his affairs in the hands of his personal attorney, Clifford W. Hartridge. Mrs. Thaw's first act on landing was re-er1. gazing Black, Olcott, Gruber & Bon ynge. Since then Mrs, Thaw has been unremitting in her efforts to persuade her son to acquiesce in her views and permit her to dictate his defence. Tn this she failed. This is taken to mean that his plea of "not guilty will stand and that "emotional insanity and ev- idence going to show justification un- der the ''unwritten law" will be relied upon to secure acquittal.
 MT. Olcott tonight declined to make any comment on Mrs. Thaws action.
 It is understood that MT. Hartridge does not intend to conduct the case single handed. He has been in daily consultation for a week with several prominent criminal lawyers, A number of these lawyers have been retained t,b assist in the defense and are now at work on different ends of the case. O1le of the most noted lawyers in the Limited States will conduct the trial in court, it is said.

MAY HAVE ARRESTED
 REAL LORD DOUGLAS
THIRD SON OF LATE MARQUIS OF QUEENsBURK IN
 CUSTODY.

Arrested fin Maine for Police of Ashe-
 viIIe, N. C., Who Are After an Ameri-
 can Bigamist Known us ''LOrd Doug
 Ias''--Firm of Portland Bankers As-
 seFt That the Man Held is Really Lord
 Shalto DOugIas--Drafts Presented by
 Him HonOred by London Institution.
 Portland, Me-, Aug. 1.-1nstead nf having in custody an American bigam- ist known as Lord Douglass" wanted by the authorities in many states, as was at first supposed, the Portland po- lice, it is thought, have detained Lord sholto Douglass, third sop of the late Marquis of Queensbury
 Several days ago a Portland detective was requested by the police of Ashe- vile. N. C., to arrest a man who rent ed a cottage on the shore of Seboga lake in May. The officer went to the lake yesterday and detained the man known at the late resorts as S. C.. Douglas. The Asheville authorities were notified of the detention of the man but the local authorities suspected from the first that a mistake had been made and they reffained from making public the occurrence.
 The suspect regarded the arrest hum- orously and told the officer who called on him that he was Lord Sholto George Douglas. With him were two persons who, he said, were Lady Douglas and their son. So convincing was his story that the local police notified the Ashe- vile officers to-day that in their opin- ion the man was what he claimed to be and they advised them to order his re- lease,
 A firm of bankers in Portland stated to-day that the man detained at Sebago is really Lord Sholto Douglas. They say that some time ago he brought let ters of credit from London banking house and that a number of drafts which he presented were honored by the London institution. The police here state that the description of the big amist, beyond a slight resemblance does not correspond to that of the Eng lishman. Lord Sholto is thirtyfour years of age, while the American Lord Douglas is about forty-tlve, according to the description sent out by the po- lice of several cities.
 The suspect says that he was with his family in England from Novem- Der, 1904, until last May whereas the crimes of the American were commit ted mostly last year Tonight the po- lice sent cablegram to Scotland Yard London asking if the detectives there can verify his statement. If the re- ply, which is expected tomorrow, is favorable to the man under detention he will be released regardless of the tel egran1s received from Asheville.
 The prisoner states that the health ot his wife has not been good and he had decided to come to Maine for the sum- mer. They selected a cottage on the shore of Sebago lake so they might have seclusion and in order to avoid publicity they were known as Mir. and Mrs. S. c. Douglas, The suspect is now in this city and is in custody of the local police.
 Lord Sholto Douglas was formerly a lieutenant in the Fourth battalion of the Northamptonshire regiment. h 1895 he was married to Miss Loretta Adkins and for several years he re- sided in Bakersfield, Cal.
