 Abraham H. Hnmnlel of Howe and Hnnimel who was counsel for Mrs. Thaw, and also for Stanford White. was consulted by ihe architect regard ing the lcttern In thenn Mrs. Nesbit- Holnan complains bitterly of the con- duct of Harry K. Thaw towards her daughter. now his wife. and implores Mfr White to do all in his power to bring her. back to her mothers com traL
 In the letters Mrs Holman refers to Thaw as q sroundrei. a william and a man with m,ideruous intent In his beart She tells of an interview she had with Thaw while they were in Paris. and deciarer that sThaw wanted her. Mrs. Holman. to sign an affidavit to the effect that he, Thaw, had never intended to make Evelyn his wife.
 It appears that Thaw became aware of the fact that White had been appeal d to by Mrs. Nesbitt, now Mrs Hoi- man, and that the architect knew of the qua-rels between Thaw and his present wife, also that Evely1 had told her step-father that sho was not married to Henry Thaw at the tilfe they arrived froIa Europe and were driven cut of the Hotel Cumberland.
 White Knew the Truth.
 rhaw at that time had given etasc- ment vt tich was afterward corrobo- rated from Pittsburg tl:ht he and Eve lyn had been married while in Europe. Thaw knew that White was the only person not of his family. who knew that this statement was false and that Thaw 5ic not marry Pittsburg.
 Just what disposition Is to be made of these letters, is not known at pres ent. The letters are kept in safe and fit may he that they will be produced if Thaw should ever be placed on trial for murder and Mrs. Nesbitt-H should Become q witness
 District Attorney Jerome IS anxious that Mrs Holman come to New York so that she may be served with a sub poena to appear at the trial. If she does, she will be cross examined most severely and questioned as to how, among other things. she came to ap- ply to White for financial aid.
 Among the papers left by White are also a number of letters written to Mir Holman, husband of Mrs. liar ry Thaw's mother. It would appear that he, too. knew all about the rela- tions between Harry Thaw and Ev- elyn Nesbit. In all these letters Mrs. Thaw is referred to as Florence" She was called thus before she went on the stage and later on her friends
 
 ford White, she was Florence Among the first is one written by Mrs. Nesbit to Mr. White. It is undated. but was penned after Mrs. Nesbit had return ed from abroad, where she had been abandoned by Harry Thaw and Ev- elyn. whom at that time was not hie wife. The letter was headeds Fri day. but evidently was written in 1903. It is as follows:
 Letter To the Architect.
 Dear MT. White:--'Your letter re- ceived. will send Florence's letter as you desired. When we first went to Paris and metS Thaw, he and Flor cree quarreled continually, We were at least I was-indeed miserable. expected each day to hear her say We would return to America Thaw came to me, asked me to sign a paper. The article was that he did not intend to marry Florence. thought as she hat ed him I was doing the right thing. I do hope something can be done to save her from him. He does not Intend to marry her only hope when she. hears about the paper. that her pride will at least save Ter.
 E. F. Nesbit."
 About the tina Thaw and Evelyn Nesbitt returned from Europe, Novem- Der i. 1904, there was considerable srace devoted by the newspaper to young Thaw and his companion. Mrs. Nesbitt had married in tho meantime, MT Holman. and in her desperation 1t seems the only person she ever cared to appeal to was Mir. White. who had been known as Evelyn Nesbitt's early protector. Mrs. Holman wrote to MT. White as follows:
 arhc morning papers say Florence is in New York. If the coward won't say she Is hon orabIy his wife. please try to get her to see you and talF sense to her and have her understand the awful light he has placed her in before the world.
 Tortured by Reporters.
 q am simply tortured with report CTS. My head has simply been split ting for a week You have no idea how disgraceful this affair is to Pitts burg people. They drive me wild tel ling me to take action. that she is not of age,
 "Mr. White. please do try to talk to her. She is too young to under stand how she Is being wronged. hope I hear from you very soon.
 "E. F. Holman"
 There is another letter signed E. Holman and addressed and written on a Thursday to Dear MT. White Evi- dently when Mrs. Holman whote this letter she was afraid her boy Howard, whom Mir. White had also befriended, was beginning to think there was something wrong in the relations of his sister and Harry Thaw. Mrs Hol- man writes as follows:
 "Fforence had asked Howard to vis- it her at Christmas time. Do you think 1t would be right when she is in the horrible position she seems in. Ehe says she is not married. Howard is not a child and he has heard some horrible expressions from the boys at school. Oh. man. how horribly she has disgraced us all. I am heartsick and Mir Holman feels 1t so. People in Pittsbure talk awfully and the men hate him so. The wretched beast sent articles to the papers of Plttsburg.
 He di6 all he could to get me to say semething so that he could publish that sold my daughter. I certainly did not. Howard will soon be home. lie will be A treat comfort. He is learning to obey and I am grateful to you for it. I hope you are well and that may hear from you. Do you know If Florence is married?'
