the correspondents. ana az about the
same period a criminal complaint was
made against George Lederer on ,ac-
count of his association with the young
woman. James Lederer knows under
what auspices Miss Nesbit began her
stage career. why she was sent to
New Jersey school who paid her bills
ana who visited her and other matters
that may become material when the
history OF the tragedy is spread before

er by the prosecution or by the defense
and both sides are anxious 10 find him
on account OF the facts believed to be
within his knowledge. He was well
acquainted with Mr.. White. 10 whom
he may have mentioned Thaw's threats
When he told Mr. White the Thaws

rhaw's reioinder.
Many persons have heard variations
OF this conversation, and Il is supposed
that there We're several similar episodes
and that Mrs. Thaw frequently taunted
her husband on account Of his failure
to act When she heard the shots as
she was leaving the Madison Square
Roof she exclaimed. Hes shot him!
My God, didn't think he'd do 1t that

Miss Mazae Toilette, an actress. who
has been examined by Mr Garvan, is
one Of those who heard Thaw make
threats OF violence. She says the oc-
casion was about two years ago some
months before Thaw's marriage. There
were several persons present when
somobody introduced the name of Mr..
White IN the conversation. Thaw be
came furious, and jumping to his feet,
cried; II win kill that blackguardl"
Others tried TO change the conversa-
ton hut Thaw persisted and declared
he might have TO wait years for venge-
ance, but he was certain to kill Mr..
White, As he had made similar threats
before, little attention was paid to him.
Miss Toilette gave to Mr.. Garvan the
names of those who were present, all
Of whom will be summoned.
There are many questions that are
bound TO arise at once, mainly relating

lawyers and medical experts and to

mony. Thaw's relatives are enormous
ly wealthy and they will stand by him.
but one great point now is to arrange
to get the money as it is needed.

His wife reached the Centre street
door in an electric hansomsat half-past
ten O'Clock. She spent fifteen minutes
chatting with a lawyer and then re-
mained with Thaw for more than an
hour She refused positively to discuss
recent developments in the case. in
cluding testimony that Mr.. White was
paying for her brothers education.
