DECLARED LONG AGO THAT HE
WOULD GET WHITE YET.
WOMEN WILL TESTIFY TO THIS

and has not been destroyed"
These highly important statements
have been made with the greatest pos
itiveness by a man who was a friend
of the late Stanford White. This con-
tradicts the statements of Judge o.
colt, Harry Thaw's counsel, who said
repeatedly that Evelyn Nesbit never
made any affidavit against Thaw.
In this affidavit it is said she
charged Mr.. Thaw with having pointed
pistol at her head and threatened to
shoot her if she did not Immediately
swear to a charge accusing Stanford
White of accomplishing her ruin.
This affidavit has been destroyed,
but photograph of the document Is
in existence, and the contents are Of
such nature as to preclude publica-
tion.
Threatened White, Too.
A line of evidence which, II corrobo-
rated, will go far to destroy any hopes
Thaw may be basing on the "unwrit-
ten law" as a defense for killing Stan
ford White has come into possession
of the district attorneys Office through
Edna Mcclure, an actress now per-
forming in "a Social Whirl." This
evidence would seem to indicate that
Thaw's killing of White was the result
of a planned and determined ven
geance covering a period of nearly two
years.
The name of woman who spent
several months of 1903 in Europe in
the company of Evelyn Nesbit and
Harry Thaw was given to Mr.. Garvan
This woman, it Is said, will testify that
in her presence and in the presence of
William Sturgis and Evelyn Nesbit, in
her apartments in this city, Harry
Thaw drew pistol two years ago and,
flourishing it over his head, exclaimed:
This is for White"
Miss Mcclure said that both STAN
ford White and Harry Thaw were pur-
suing Evelyn Nesbit. There were two
cabs at the stage door for her every
night and two lunches of flowers.
White won at that time and he took
the girl from the stage and sent her
to school in Pompton, NJ ]. She was
taken i'll while there and underwent
an operation. Then White sent her
and her mother to Europe.
Harry Thaw learned of this and
went abroad. He met the girl in
Paris and Evelyn went with him,
leaving Mrs. Holman, the girls moth
er, penniless in Paris. She had to
cable White for money to get home.
Evelyn tired of Thaw's conduct abroad
and left him.
When she got home she went to
Stanford White and told him of the
treatment to which she had been sub
jected by Thaw. White then took her
to his attorney and had her draw up
the affidavit which is now so badly
wanted by the prosecution. Thaw fol
lowed her home and after some time,
she rejoined him and they went abroad
together.
Told Thaw to Go to White.
Miss Mcclure said that Evelyn was
on the point Of leaving Thaw after a
bitter quarrel when he offered mar
riage to her Miss Mcclure also told
the assistant district attorney that
while entertaining number of guests
in, Broadway restaurant one night
Thaw saw Stanford White enter the
place. He began to abuse White, says
Miss Mcclure, and said to his wife:
There goes that blackguard now
that owned you before did"
Mrs. Thaw is reported to have an,
swered: Stop raking up my past
Harry. That brute over there is re-
sponsible. Go to him about It,"
81 WILL" Thaw said, "Ill get him
yet
Mrs. Legrand Mink, the mother OF
Edna Mcclure, was with her daughter
at the district attorneys Office yester
day. In speaking of the Thaw case
today she said: Harry Thaw's hate
for Stanford White was like that OF
maniac. He seemed possessed of q
consuming horror of White. 1t was
plainly a mania with him"
The district attorneys Office also is
searching for William Sturgis, a close
friend of Harry X. Thaw, who has dis
appeared since the tragedy. It is re
ported that Sturgis had heard Thaw
