New York. July 6.--Mrs. Harry K. Thaw's daily visit to her husband in the Tombs prison was very brief to- day. She remained scarcely more than ten minutes in the prison and alter leaving there went to the onces oi her husbands attorneys.
 That Mrs Thaw and Stanford White were on friendly terms up to last Sep tember is the assertion made in signed statement given out today py John Burns, who was employed by White as u chaffeur. Burns said m his statement that on two occasions, once in February and again in Sep tember 1905, the electric cab which he drove was placed at Mrs Thaw's dis- posai by White.
 The first of these occasions was be- fore her marriage, the second was five months after it. In each instance. according to the chaffeur. she was taken from q restaurant to her hotel and in neither case did White ac- company her.
