saying that there was something crooked In the
Hartje case. and that he would yet land the
people who We're back Of it. Mr.. Robb went fur
ther at this time and admitted that two of the
men he wanted were members OF the Allegheny
County bar and said that if it was not for the
fact that they were fellow attorneys ne would
have the warrants issued at once but that a
chance to be given for withdrawal: 1t

THAW STILL STUBBORN
WI Not Accept Insanity PIED
Architects EaIogi9e White.

In the face Of conflicting rumors it was still
afirmatively said yesterday that Harry Kendall
Thaw win be tried for the murder OF Stanford
White and that no insanity plea Will be
made. Mrs william Thaw, his mother, despite
the stories circulated, is known to have not
given up hope that some day she will induce
her son 20 accept the insanity plea. In this
way ex-Judge Olcett, her counsel, is still work
ing for Thaw's interests But Thaw IS stin
stubborn and argument advanced so far has
induced him to change his mind. In this matter
he is seconded by Clifford w. Hartridge and by
Mrs. II. X Thew. All, therefore, that is left
for Mr.. Olcott TO do is TO work as well he
can on the case. While he is not directly asso-
ciated with Mr. Hartridge ne is ready and will
ing to give him any aid that he can. In the
shape of furnishing him all evidence obtained.
George Lauder Carnegie. brother-in-law Of the
prisoner visited him for the first time yester-
day Ia the Tombs. He was accompanied by his
wife. Thaw's sister. They remained for nearly
two hours While they were talking Mrs. Harry
Thaw and Roger O'Mara, the Pittsburg detec-
tive Joined them. The greeting between the
three relatives was particularly cordial. and
Mrs Thaw remained long as the others did
She later went to Mr.. Hartridge's Office with
O'Mara and was in conference for about two
hours. She seemed happy and cheerful yester-
day.
OMara let It be inferred that he had brought
good news TO the prisoner which he had learned
in Pittsburg. There is some ground to believe
that this news came, in some way or other, from
Mrs Holman the mother of The prisoners wife
O'Nara had talked with her several times lately
in reference to her correspondence with Stanford
White and it is believed that he told the pTis-
oner something concerning Mrs. Holmans atti-
tude regarding the case Mrs Holman, It is
testify at the trial. and will refuse to have any
thing to do with the case. She is placed in a
peculiar predcament. While she friendly
with White. she cannot go against her daugh-
ters best interests despite the fact that she has
hatred for ThaW.
Rumors Of an application by the defence for a
idea has been strenuously secuted heretofore by
counsel on both sides. and there is no reason TO
believe that It has been more seriously thought
of. The Rev. John A. Wade, the EpiscOpalian
chaplain in the TOmbs, sailed for England
yesterday carrying a special message from Thaw
several letters Mrs Harry X. Thaw was
asked about the letters, but refused to discuss
them, saying:
Il don't want to talk about them"
Stanford White was remembered in eulOgistic
resolutions passed yesterday at the meeting OF
the executive committee OF the New York Chap
ter of the American Institute of Architecture,
the Society of BeauX Arts Architects and the
Architectural League of New York. The resolu-
tions expressed the sense of the meeting at the
retary was instructed to send copy of the
resolutions to Mrs. White and to McKim, Mead
& White the architectural firm with which
White connected.
