, the distance to London when the I shooting occurred.
 The Minneapolis was probably out of the range of wireless communica- tion from Sable Island yesterday. The only hope of getting word quick l ly to Mrs Thaw is by cable to London, tthence by wireless transmission from I the White Star liner Majestic, which llekves Liverpool at D.. n. : to-day. The Majestic should be within com. lis next Friday.
 A cable message might also be sent to Southampton and put aboard the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, which leaves that port to-day. If these steamers fail to pick up the Minneapolis cable message will bs sent probably to the Marconi station at Poldhu, reaching Mrs Thaw about fifteen or twenty hours before she arrives at London. The Minneapolis will be in communication with the Lizard about g a. m. on July 1 and is expected to arrive at London ,ne next day.
 Burr Mcintosh, for many years friend of Harry K. Thaw, who was with him just before the shooting, is positive the man was insane. He says that only last Monday morning Thaw accused a person who vas practically a stranger of paying at ltentions to his wife and had threet- ened to kill him.
 This man." said Mir Mcintosh, was John A. Forgotson. well known real estate operator. who was Istanding in front of his place. Thaw approached him., although he knew him only slightly, and exclaimed,
 Are you still in love with my wife?
 If you are I'll kill you. MT Forgot son was amazed, and then, seeing that Mir Thaw was distraught, re-
 replied that he had not even the
 honor of Mrs Thaw's acquaintance. and had never seen her.
 "I have known MT Thaw since boy
 hood and have noticed that in the last few years he had been. cratic i'll his behavior. have not the slig!i;- est doubt that he was insane when he committed the deed.
 Mir Thaw was jealous of his wife.
 He was in love with her and sEe seemed to be in love with him. With lin the last few months he seemed to
 be possessed with a mania that ev- erybody was making love to her.
 My interview with Mir Thaw in lthe prison of the West rhirticln street station was very brief, I
 warned him not to discuss his case until he had seen a lawyer, and cor
 rectly I did not seek to learn any
 thing from him concerning It. His
 first question was 'How's Evelyn?'
 The only statement secured from
 Mrs Thaw was one made while sEe
 was on her way to the offices of hc. lattorney yesterday. She said:
 "The incident of last night is too
 painful to discuss. mnot fug,-
 tive from justice I am here with
 my lawyer, and shall not try to get
 away.
 T hope poor Harry will soon get
 out of his trouble. I did not think
 he would do it."
 Harry K. Thaw's first night in the lTombs prison under a charge of mur-
 der was an uneventful one. He re-
 tired early, slept soundly. and arose apparently refreshed. Thaws whole appearance was changed to-day. He
 seemed much brighter than at any time since the tragedy and for the first time since he has been in GUS
 tody he appeared to take a lively interest in his surroundings. He ! was partly dressed when the morn , !, ting gong sounded at o'clock and greeted the guard cheerily when the . officer visited his cell. After light
 breakfast. which was supplied by the . prison. caterer. Thaw asked for all the morning newspapers. He glanced through them hastily. giving particu'
 lar attention to the headlines and Il. ' lustrations in connection with. the story fin which he was the central fig ure. He appeared to be greatly
 pleased when informed that Mir: , Thaw had expressed an intention tc visit him in the prison during the day.
 According to the prison officers Thaw began to regain his composurt
 soon after he was placed in the cell in the Tombs yesterday. He spent . quiet evening and long before the hour for lights out" began prepara tions for retiring for the night. Dl Mcclure. the Tombs physician, called at the prisoners cell just before 1t o'clock and asked if anything could be done for him. Thaw replied tf
 the negative. The physician re marked that he supposed Thaw had |. been accustomed to having a stimu .Iant of some kind before retirins 2 and that he would miss it. He told the prisoner. however. that under ths prison rules he could not be per mitted to indulge in his habit. Thau ' admitted that the physicians sur mise was correct and he appeared grateful when the physician told hin |. he had left two potious for him. iE ]. case be should be restless during ths |, night and unable to sleep. However ! he vas strongly urged not to call fol 2 them unless he felt himself unabl' ro do without them This rnorninl , the iiquor remained untouched. th' prisoner having enjoyed goos nights natural sleep.
 Seventeen letters were received tr !. this mornings mall at the prison fo ' Thaw. Most of them were from 10 = men
