Prosecution, However, May
PFOduCeSwOrn Statement at
Coming Trial For Murder

NEW YORK, July 6.-In the preparation
of Harry Kendall Thaw's trial for the
murder of stanford White interest cen.
tired yesterday in the affidavit made by
Evelyn Nesbit before her marriage to
Thaw. The fact became public that she
had retained the law firm of Howe and
Hummel to sue Thaw for damages and
that she had signed and sworn to papers
before the compromise was made.
After a consultation with Thaw h S
counsel, former Judge William NJ. X. Oh
colt, made an emphatic denial that Mis-.
Thaw had ever sued her husband, had
ever contemplated any action against him
or had ever signed any document contain
ing reflections upon his conduct. This de-
NAL in Thaw's behalf was assumed to be
based upon the theory that it would be
impossible to introduce the matter on his
trial. as the original papers have been de-
stroyed and attorneys cannot be COM
PEELED to divulge the confidential COM
munications Of their clients.
one feature of the case that was not
within Thaw's knowledge was that there
was record and that in spite of the de-
struction Of the original papers, the Dis
trict Attorney may be in a position to
produce the entire record without calling
the lawyer as a witness.
Destroyed, Says Garvan.
Assistant District Attorney Francis p
Garvin, who has charge Of the prepl-
ration of the case, was away from his
office during considerable part Of the
day, and on his return refused to make
any statement except that he had OBJ
tanned positive knowledge that the afh.
davit made by Miss Nesbit had been de-
stroyed.
Abraham II. Hummel, who is supposed
to have been retained by White in Miss
Nesblt's behalf at the time that she was
seeking damages, was in the city tarly in
the day and afterward left for Saratoga.

The emperor OF Germany Is a great
user of the telephone. A peculiar
etiquet must be observed in Germany
in talking TO him over the wire. In
the first place. the emperor never
gives his name. After calling a man
he begins with the imperial phrase
II Command that" etc, which, as all
the officials know, means the kaiser
Is talking. When the emperor is
through with his conversation he
doesn't say Goodbye or That's
all He hangs up the receiver and
stalks away. The result of that Gus
tom is that the official at the other
end OF the wire, no matter how lofty
he may be, has to stand with the
receiver at his ear for five or six min
utes longer, not sure whether the en-
peror has finished or whether he IS
thinking up something further to
say.
