opening the eyes of New Workers and
people all over the world" attracted
the greatest attention of any OF the
published developments in the case to-
day.
Second in interest was the statement
| of a private detective that be and
| others had been hired some time ago
| by White to learn the identity of sew
| eral men whom he believed to be shad-
owing him. The detective says he
! found the men were employed ny Thaw
| to watch White. When he reported
| these facts to his principal. he says
Mr.. White exclaimed:
| I suspected it all along. This man
Thaw is crazy. He imagines that
have done him some wrong" Mr.
White talked along in this strain for
some time denying that he had wrong
| ed them in any way and declaring that
his early friendship for the Nesbit girl
who became Mrs. Thaw was purely a
| fatherly interest The detective
added that White had talked of appeal
ing to the authorities to have Thaw' S
| detectives taken off his trail.
Thaw spent a restless night in his
cell last night owing 10 the intense
heat in the city prison. He was visit
ed early today by Mrs. Thaw. who re-
mained with him for an hour and q

formed her that the only person with
authority to grant her wish Is Cor
