Pittsburg Detective in Case.
New York, July 24.-That Roger o.
Mara. Pittsburg detective, who for
years has done work for the Thaw
family. is engaged at present In looking
up evidence for Harry Thaw was in
Dictated yesterday, when O'Mara ar
talk with Thaw.
There have been reports from Pitts
burg that O'Mara, who is head
of a detective agency there, had been
employed by the Olcott firm, Mrs. Will
liam Thaw's lawyers, to get evidence to
show that Thaw is insane and that he
was working against Thaw's new law
yers.
O'Mara was met at the Twenty third
street ferry by young Mrs. Thaw. They
seemed to be old friends. Mrs. Thaw
took the detective with her in car
riage to the Tombs, where they had a
talk with Thaw
From the Tombs O'Mara went with
Mrs. Thaw to Hartridge's office. Later
Hartridge, O,Mara and Mrs. Thaw
drove to the TombH and spent half
hour with Thaw.
4 Tho O,Mara would not talk about his
visit, it was learned it had to do with
the letters that were written to White
by Mrs Holman. BY some these let
tiers are taken as being favorable to the
prosecutions side, but it was learned
from one of the lawyers on the Thaw
side that they are not so regarded by
Thaw.
Thaw Certain of AcquittaI.
Thaw has not abandoned the idea
that a jury will let him off when his
side of the story is heard. He and his
wife are arraigned against Mrs. Hol
man and are to contend, it is said, that
she was an ally of White. In statement
by Mrs. Thaw she told in detail how
she came to meet White and the part
her mother played. This story. it is
stated, is different from the impression
given in some letters written by Mrs.
Holman to White.
The Olcott firm withdrew all objecS
lions yesterday to the entry of a court
order requiring it to turn over all pa
pers in it's possession relating to
Thaw's case. Lawyer McManus, for
the Olcott firm, told the court they had
been turned over to Hartridge.
