NEW YORK, June 27.-Thaw's de-

ing to the story told by intimate
friends today dates from zone even
ing last year when the couple were in
the Ritz hotel in Paris, when Mrs.
Thaw was taken suddenly i'll at din
ner. Thaw accompanied her to her
room and pressed inquiries as to the
cause until she told the story of her
former life in the gilded district of sin
and of Whites part in her career. She
finished her recital by saying that she
had learned that White was then in
Paris and was probably at the same
hotel. Next day Thaw saw his wife
and a strange man talking in the par
lor and learned that the man was
White. He accosted him but White
denied his identity. A few days later
the Thaws together encountered the
stranger and the husband knew from
his wife's actions that the man must
be White
Thaw told White that if he ever
accosted his wife or even spoke of
her he would stir up a scandal which
would drive him from the United
States. White it is learned, told Thaw
to care for himself and never to ad-
dress him again. 1t is claimed that
since the Paris encounter White had
sent notes to Mrs. Thaw frequently
demanding an appointment. 1t is
learned that Thaw and White had
meeting Sunday night at Burns cafe
by appointment, and at the conclusion
Thaw told White, go, but be damned

for which they We're charged a rate
of $249 a hundred pounds, while the
Portland dealer only paid $15o. he
said that the local rate on whisky
from Portland to Pomeroy was $l.2o

cal rate to Pomeroy the freight for the
Portland dealer was $2.70, while the
