VALErS DEATH A
BLOW TO STATE

( NEW YORK. July By the death
OF william Bedford, valet for Harry X.
Thaw, the state lost one Of its most
valuable witnesses against the slayer
Of Stanford White The sudden taking
of OF the valet, after he had made an
important afidawJ IN the once of the
District Attorney, will compel a search
for other witnesses to give the testi-
mony he would have given. II was
admitted IN the District Attorneys
Office that the search might take weeks.
Bedford made an anidavit In Mr..
Caravans Office on the day following
the shooting. at a time when he did
not know whether the facts he related
were favorable TO his employer or
would aid the prosecution. He contra
dicted not only the stories that White
had pursued Mrs. Thaw after her mar
riage. but he told of the relations be-
tween Thaw and Evelyn Nesblt before
they were made man and wife. The
valet asserted that he was with Thaw
and the Nesbit woman when they were
in Paris and London, and that. al
though they lived together, no mar
riage ceremony had been performed.
"Remarriaue7 Really the First.
Thaw and his companion had given
II out that they had been married In
London and that their "remarrlage" In
! lPittsburg. after their arrival from
abroad. was due simply to the desire Of
/ Harry's mother. But the valet asserted
the ceremony in Pittsburg was the
/ first and only one performed. and that
the couple we're together abroad with
out having been made man and wife.
Blow to Sudden Rage" Theory.
When the valet was taken to the
District Attorneys Office, he was ques-
toned particularly in regard to the
pistol with which Thaw killed the ar
chitect. Bedford said his employer had
carried "a weapon for two years, and
that the pistol with which White was
killed had been In Thaw's possession
three or four months This testimony
was regarded as disposing OF the story
that Thaw had been informed on the
day Of the shooting OF an utterancC
White had made about Mrs. Thaw, and
that he thereupon went out and bought
the revolver with which he killed the
architect.
Bedford denied also that Thaw had
been i'm a sanitarium within the last
six years. The valet said no effor
ever had been made by Thaw's rela-
tives or any one else to restrain hin
of his liberty. Bedford asserted ais,
that his employer was not a "dop'
hend." He admitted that Thaw occa.
sionally took a pill after dinner, bu
he did not know the nature Of thl
pills or why Thaw took them.
The most important part Of tn
Wallets story, however was I'm regar'
to the relations OF Thaw and the Mes
bit girl when they were abroad. l
dlspelled any lingering doubt that ma.
have existed that Thaw, when he mar
ried, thought she was an innocent girl
The couple Travelled with "A valet ant
a maid. and though sometimes the!
registered as man and WIFE, al othe
times they figured In hotel books a
single persons. They always occupie
connecting rooms. however. and mad
no effort to hide their relations.

There are three charges in the petition.
The first alleges that check for $3.50,
drawn to the order OF &. Z. Fits by
George f. Richards, then proprietor Of a
Bratsleboro hotel, was never paid over,
and since must have been considered as

that in 1893 Mr.. Fits made a collection as
agent for s. A. Smith, that the former
wrote letter TO the effect that the matter
had not been closed, and the petition
alleges that he money was not turned
over TO Mr.. Smith. The third charge
refers to the Bartlett Prescott lumber
case, and alleges that Mr.. Fits was un-
faithful to his clients. Il. w. Putnam S
name is attached to the third charge only

clares that the charge regarding the Rich

during football game on the Rutland
fair ground last fall. He played left

OF the opposing eleven kicked him

day, when he complained OF soreness.
Acute gastrtis developed and death finally
ensued. The identity OF the man who

gloom upon the members OF the eleven,

young man was exceptionally popular and
