Island town, where Mrs White Is Ill, to break the news to her.
 Shooting Not Surprise. The tragedy, while a shock to the friends of both men. was not alto gether a surprise to them. They knew, and have known for several years, that against the architect IThaw had the most bitter feeling. 1t dated back to the time when he first fell in love with the young wo- man who is now his wife. He made no secret of this feeling.
 I It had come to the ears of White, and his friends had often discussed lit with him; some had even warned him to be careful, but, declaring that there was no reason for the feeling, the architect went about his bust. lenss as usual. MT and Mrs Thaw lived in Pittsburg, and the incident was fast being forgotten until the early part of this spring, when the young couple came to this city and took apartments. The warnings were renewed then on the part of some, but at all these the architec. laughed.
 The beginning of the tragedy last might was in the Cafe Martin at the dinner hour. It's end was on the roof a few minutes after II o'clock. In the first scene, Mir and Mrs Thaw, her father and another man, were dining together when Mf White and two other men entered and took places nearby. According to MT lThaw's own words to reporter, he did not know of the presence of the architect until the agitation of his wife attracted his attention. He asked a question, to be answered with a note saying:
 That dirty blackguard is here."
 White left the cafe soon after ward, visiting his studio in the tower of Madison Square Garden, which IS one of the many buildings he de- signed, then going to his club. family to the roof garden. MT and Mrs |Thaw were there. Mrs Thaw had gone back of the scenes to visit some friends, and, immediately her hus- band began pacing up and down the floor. It was while Thaw was on the western side of the building that White came in, sat down, chatted 2 moment with Harry Stevens, and then as Stevens left looked at the stage. Thaw watched him a moment from one of the entrances, then be- gan to tread his way forward.
 Without looking to the right or left. brushing into several men and women, he walked slowly toward the table. until he leaned forward over Its edge opposite to his victim.
 As he did this White recognized him and made move ss If to arise. Rut there was no time. With some muttered imprecation the young man, drawing large automatic re yoiyer, began firing. Three snots rang ont. two took effect. and White was dead. Turning, Thaw faced the audience. "broke" the weapon, throw ing all the cartridges out, and start ed away. It was then he was arrest ed and soon afterward Mrs Thaw rushed up and putting her arms about his neck kissed him. A s'av ment credited to Thaw immeaia'eiy after the arrest Is this:

 I From his pocket when he was searched there was taken a leather revolver shield such as policemen car ry their weapons in. He had $15S In cash and several blank checks. besides gold cigarette case.
 q Mir Thaw did not display the least anxiety about his own welfare. not about the effects of his shots. He nev- CT asked a question about White. He did not ask questions of the police at all. He seemed as unconcerned as if baIIing out a chauffeur instead of fac ing an accusation of murder.
 As he talked with reporter he re- yerted again and again 10 his wifes attack of shivering when she saw White In Martins.
