STORY OF A WOMAN WHO WAS AWAY.
The police took the names OF dozens
! of persons who asserted that they had
seen Thaw walk up to the table and shoot
Mr.. White. Some Of these told one story,
others quite another.
Some told Capt. Hodgins that a very
young and extremely beautiful young
woman went into the roof garden about
five minutes before Mr.. White got there
from the Manhattan Club. She slipped
through the audience without attracting
much attention and took a seat at the table
to the left Of the stage and four rows from
the front.
According to those who told this story,
Mr.. White came in as unobtrusively and
Joined this young woman, whose you tn
and good looks we're so especially COM
mented on. Also, these witnesses said, 1t
was just at that moment when he saw
White sit down at the table with the girl
that Thaw rushed over and shot White.
Then, according to these witnesses, the
young woman was hurriedly pulled out Of
the crowd and dragged hastily away to-
ward the back of the roof theatre.
Manager Lionel Lawrence Of the roof
garden denied this story fatty.
Mr.. White was with no young woman
aid Lawrence. l am positive Of that.
because I noticed him at the table,
Other witnesses told Capt. Hodgins that
White was sitting alone at the table watch
ing the show intently when Thaw showed the
pistol in his face.
There certa inly was girl who was young
and sufficiently good looking to excite Curl
osity who sprang at Harry Thaw after he
killed White, threw her arms around his
neck and cried:
"Oh Harry He deserved it and I will
stand by you
The police said last night that they could
not think who this young woman was unless
it was Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. Thaw
himself refused to give any information
on this point.
Harry Thaw's brothers. Benjamin and
william are saidt to be n the city. Friends were
searching for them at a late hour, but
| neither had arrived at the station house to
see their brother at las o'clock this morning.
William Thaw has been at the Holland
| House and it was said there that he went
out driving early in the evening.
Coroner Dooley questioned Thaw at the
station house, but could get nothing of i'm
portance from him. Thaw, who by that
time was in a cell, refused absolutely to
| answer questions or make any statement
until he had consulted his lawyers. He
said he wanted to see William B. Horn
blower, Joseph H. Choate or Lewis L.. Della
field. He asked that Burr Mcintosh, who
was in the station at the time, be sent to
notify Mr.. Choate, but on second thought
said not to awaken Mr.. Choate should he be
asleep.
The Coroner said that Thaw appeared to
be cool and normal and showed no evidence
Of having been drinking.
After the examination l have made"
said the Coroner, Il am convinced that
the shooting was a deliberate act"
The Coroner remained at the station
house nearly all night examining witnesses.
THE THAws DINED CLOSE TO THE WHITES.
While Mr.. White and his son were dining
at the Martin, sitting out on the terrace
overlooking Fifth avenue, Thaw, his wife
and a young man were dining at a table
in the main room alongside a big window
leading out to where White and his son
were.
All the time that both parties were dining
Thaw kept his eye on White. There was
a scowl on his face and his action was no.
