Witness Stand for
Husband.

NEW YORK. July 25-E,velyn Nesbit
Thaw, the beautiful child-wife, whose
husband. Harry X. Thaw, is in the
Tombs for the killing Of Stanford White,
gladly gave woman reporter an inter
view today concerning this most re
markable case in the present genera
tion's criminal history.
The interview. pen portrait of the
bravery and misery and the resoluuor
and s0~row back OF Mrs. Thaw's lus-
trous eyes. is as follows.
'Wm you permit your mothers let
tcrs to stand do you believe that she

wrote 10 White OF you and Of Harry
Thaw?'' I asked ''You know now, as
tie matter stands. as the world sees IL,
YOU must either take a stand against
or for your husband; which is it?'
A Brutal Question.
There was almost brutality in the
question.
The brown eyes cloUded, the face be
came set the youth was almost gone
from the finely chi5eled features.
"Oh, please. do not ask me that J
cannot. il hurts. You must KNOW that
Il hurts. Ny mother. my husband
and the face took on an expression that
comes when the heart Is touched; when
there comes the crucial moment, the
parting of the ways
Mother DO not know what mother
means scarcely, but she Is my mother;
that word even. means much. but !
shall say 10 moge of her"
The little girls eyes. which have
brought men TO her feet, which have
made her pictures known in every
studio in New York. were clouded. ard
her mouth took on a helpless. irrcsolute
expression.
II Love Him"
As for Harry. I love him. and l ana
working night and day IN his interests.

"Oh. yes. so cheerful and so patient

but / try 10 make him cheerful He
feels that all will be well for him when
everybody really knows. Dear me. il
is a long. long time to wait for Harry's

"The evening papers state that you
have denied the story winch came from
Pittsburg, in which 1t is said that you
are going to obtain a divorce from Mr.
Thaw"
Does il look like il after all 1 have
said?" asked the young wife. THAT is
all nonsense, and Harry and l both
laughed over the absurdity of such a
thing. 1t would be ridiculous at any
time. and at this time. when he needs

Boston. Mass, May 19.-on the
eve of his wedding, Thomas Blake,
confidential clerk of the wealthy
house of Hornblower & Weeks, dis
appeared from his home. Monday
April 80 he was to have been married
to his schoolday playmate. Miss Bes-
sic Towle, beautiful young woman,
living on Cleveland street located in
Melrose. On the excuse that he in
tended bridegroom was i'll, the we'd
ding invitations were recalled a few
hours before the wedding. A few
days after the mysterious disappear
ance of the young man. the firm with
whom he has been employed, made
discrete Inquiries. 1t began an exam

1t was found that there we're miss

INSULT TO MIR. RICE.


The friends of MIR. Phidela Rice
and those familiar with the matter
have expressed the deepest resent
ment over the slanderous article that
appeared in the other paper last night
regarding Mr.. Rice's action in not fill
ing his engagement last night with the
w. G.. L. u, and when an explanation
was demanded this morning the edi-
tor and reporter of the other paper
without any foundation whatever and
for no other reason than to attempt
to some degree shield themselves
falsified as to the source of their in
formation.
Friends of Mr.. Rice considered the
article libelons and insulting from
start 10 finish, bul the reporter of
the other paper thinking that there
was grounds for a sensational story
tried to make such out of 1t without
regard TO the truth.
The statement made by the other
paper that Mr.. Rice had been offered
s75 for a recital on his return TO this
city and for this reason he desired
to cancel the engagement of last night
Is branded as untrue in every par
ticular. The filling of the engagement
last night by Mr.. Rice would in no
way have int1referd with his Ep-
worth League date. Three weeks ago
Rev Forsyth wired Mr.. Rice as fol
lows; Fill engagement with w. c,
4 T. U. Our offer for later date viii
/ hold good"
Weeks ago Mr.. Rice had asked to
be released by letter. still the man
ayers of the entertainment went
ahead and advertised him for last
night and he expected to fill the date,
Those who know the young man nat
urally resent the charge made by the
other paper that he intended all alone
to disappoint the w. G. 4. U. people
Mrs. Weir. who received the tele-
gram published yesterday was the
first to know that Mr.. Rice would
not fill his engagement last night
The article last night is n fair
sample of what the other paper con
s;ders good news matter and the edi-
tor of that sheet has been busy all

VOTE ON THE BILL,

The Sentinel was the only paper in
the city yesterday announcing pas
sage of the rate bill by the senate.
1t will probably appear in the other
paper tonight.
The bill passed after seventy hours
of continuous deliberation by the
practically unanimous vote of II to
3. The three votes against the bill
were cast by Senator Foraker, of Ohio
Senators Morgan and Pettus, of Ala

1t is said that the bill has receiv-

measure since the repeal of the pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman act in
