cabrnen who knew Thaw tipped their hats
to him and he recognized their salute IN
return.
The trip up aOth street, across Broadway
and 9Th avenue. was without any excite
ment. and the prisoner reached the station
without the usual crowd of curious people
following.
Thaw did not seem to be intoxicated, but
walked In a sort of daze. He made few
comments on the way to the Tenderloin sta
ton. Sergt. Mccarthy asked him what his
name was. and he answered:
John Smith. Is Lafayette Square. Phila-
delphia."
What's your business he was asked.
81 am student
No charge was made on the books against
this John Smith," The detectives were
sent out to investigate fully before a charge
was made. Sergt. Mccarthy asked him:
Why did you do this?''
''I can't say" he replied alphabetically.
Cards found on the prisoner read Harry
Kendall Thaw. Pittsburg." He made no
comment when they were pulled out of his
pocketbook.
Young Thaw walked dazedly to the back
room. He waited a while. and then sent
for Frederick w. Lowenfellow and Fred
er.ck Delafield.
Statement Ascribed to Thaw.
A statement credited to Thaw Immediate
ly after the arrest is this:
I'VE were all at party IN Martins You
e,
but I was sitting some distance from my
wife. Suddenly / saw her get very pale
and begin to shiver, and 1 thought she
was Ill.
Il made a motion to inquire what was
the matter and she called waiter and
wrote note, which she sent around the
table to me.
THE note said: The dirty BLACKBOARD is
here Then 1 turned and saw that fat
scoundrel sitting there, big and healthy,
and then saw her and how she was"
Did White make any motion to attack
your
WHAT said Thaw. The question was
repeated.
Thaw nodded his head in the affirmative.
From his pocket when he was searched
such as policemen carry their weapons In.
He had 1858 in cash and several blank
checks, besides gold cigarette case.
Thaw did not display the least anxiety
about his own welfare nor about the effects
of his shots. He never asked question
about White He did not ask any questions
of the police at all. He seemed as uncon-
cerned as IL bailing out chauffeur instead
OF facing an accusation of murder
AS he talked with q reporter he reverted
again and again to his wifes attack Of
shivering when she saw White in Martins.
THAT poor. delicate little thing. all nerv-
Gus and shaking like a reed he said. half
to himself. And there he was, the big,
healthy scoundrel. God.
William Thaw. a nephew of the man
charged with Stanford Whites killing. was
in the city yesterday and left for Pistsburg
on an evening train.
Stanford White was the son OF Richard
Grant White and Alexina b. Mease. His
father was we'll known as a critic, jour-
nalist and essayist, and for more than
twenty years served as Grief of the United
States revenue marine bureau for the dis
trict of New York
The American head of the family was
John White, who came to this country in
1882 from England, passenger on the snip
Lion, and settled at Cambridge, Mass.
Stanford White was born in New YORK
city on November Q, 1853. He was educated
at the University of New York. where he
was graduated as master of arts. At an
early age his remarkable artistic gifts hav-
ing manifested themselves. he was given
the advantage of the highest possible train
ing and studied architecture with Charles
D. Gambrill and H. H Richardson.
In 1881 the firm OF Mckim, Meade d
White was formed, which has uninter-
ruptedly grown from its inception, TO a
position of national Importance. There Is
hardly a city of Importance In the country
that does not boast at least one building
designed by this firm.
Charles F. McKfm, head of the firm OF
McKim. Mead & White. first learned of the
shooting at midnight. When told of Thaws
statement he said: Il cannot conceive of
any possible ground upon which such
statement could be made.
