MRS. THAW RODE IN AU1tGtBili
WITH WHITE SINCE HER MAR.
RAGE, DECLARES CHAUFFEUR.
Denial is Made BY Judge oicott, At
torney For Defendant, Of the
Statement.

Assistant District Attorney Garvan
said that although he had examined
Burns in connection with his investiga-
tion of the Thaw-White tragedy, he
never had heard of Mrs. Thaw's rides
in Whites automobile. Burns told
him nothing whatever during the ex-
animation concerning White having
entertained Mrs. Thaw, he said.
Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton. the
alienist who has been retained by the
defense, spent nearly two hours with
Thaw. Upon leaving the prison he
said that he had examined Thaw ut
the request OF counsel for the defense.
He would say nothing, however, re-
gardIng the result of the examination.
The widow of Stanford White was
paid by the Equitable Life Assurance
society $4,000, which was the value
of single policy Mr.. White had car
ried on his life for number OF years.
There are several policies for com.
paratively small amounts issued by
the Equitable on the life of Mr.. White
on which no claim for payment has
yet been presented. The face value
OF these policies Is about s65,000. but
their value TO the beneficiaries is $780,
900.
When Mr.. White took out these poll.
cies his physical health was not per
feet and the contract he made with
the Equitable provided that II death
occurred within a certain period a de-
duction of a stipulated percentage
should be made from the face value
of each policy. The bullet which Har'
ry Thaw fred into the achitect's brain
terminated his life within the period
mentioned in the policies and conse'
quently reduced their value.
