leaned over the table and whispered TO him;
For heavens sake, Fletcher, leave this place.
My husband is crazy with jealousy lately. He
goes up In the air every time look at any OF
my old men fr 1ds. If you stay here I won't

This story is denied at Burns's restaurant
There it was said last night that Thaw had not
visited the place in the last twelve months. Ac-
cording to the management he used to be a
frequent visitor there. but he was elected sew

the management requested him to give the place
a wide berth The Burns management also de-
MED the report published yesterday that Thaw
and White met there last Sunday night
William Raymond Sill, a theatrical manager
told the following story:
One night last winter Harry Thaw and his
wife and HaTy's mother occupied a box at
Fieldss Theatre. 1t was a few days after the
reconciliation between mother and son, and
presumably, the first time Mrs. Thaw and her
daughter-in-law had appeared together in pub
lie. Between the acts Evelyn Thaw, accompa-
ned by young woman, left the box and strolled
into the lobby. Just then Stanford White, ac-
companied by Tom Clarke. entered the lobby. /
White salute Mrs Thaw and go over to
talk to her. They conVersed for some minutes
in low tones, and from the expression on their
in earnest about something. Mrs. Thaw's face
unusually grave. Finally saw them shake
hands, and the woman returned to her husband
Theatrical people generally last night ridi-
culed the statements Of Thaw's friends that Mrs
Thaw has been trying to break away from her
past stage associations. They said that since
her marriage Mrs Thaw has often gone back
of the footlights of various theatres to visit
old friends, and that she still seemed to have a
hankering for the stage. One manager last
night predicted that If things turned out badIv,
for her husband Evelyn Thaw would go back
TO the stage. He said she would be worth a
fortune to any manager that could obtain her
ana ne believed that she would accept an offer
not for the tempting sum she could command
but because of the fascination stage life had for
her
Along Broadway last night there were but few
expressions of regret for Whites death In the
vecnacular of Broadway Stanford White got
only what was coming TO him" was the opinion
of many persons. Many unsavory stories con-
corning him were recounted. Even Tenderloin
cabmen spoke harshly OF his reputation One of
them said to Tribune reporter: 'T knew that
fellow would be killed sooner or later but
thought that it would be father that would do
it-not husband"
On the other hand, there were several who
spoke only in praise of the dead man and told
of many acts of charity he had to his credit
Several restaurant people and theatre ushers
| expressed a belief that Thaw's insanity plea was
| based upon fact. They told OF the wild haggard
| look Thaw's face has worn OF late when he has
| been seen at theatres or restaurants The con-
! sensus of opinion in the Tenderloin seemed to

Madison Square Roof Garden. the scene Of
| the tragedy, was crowded last night. This was
| not due to the merits of the show, perhaps for
| the crowd was inclined to be morbid and wanted
| TO be shown the exact spot where the shooting
| occurred. Nearly all of the performers appeared
| to be a little shaky a result of Monday nights
| excitement, but all of them were well enough 10
| appear. After the performance many morbid per-
| sons walked over TO the exact spot where Stan
ford White fell and eagerly scanned the floor for
| traces OF bloodstains.
| Interviews from theatrical friends of Mrs
| Thaw yesterday tended TO show that Thaw had
| premeditated the shooting for some time Miss
| Maize Toilette. former stage companion and
| friend OF Mrs. Thaw. said:
| There Is absolutely truth i'm Thavs accusa

i have know all three of them for several Yea re
and am sure the charge is false. Mr. White

of his heart. and / am sure that no one ca
