Thaw's Defense
WILL Be ON STATEMENT OF HIS.
WIFE CONCERNING Ac-
TIoNs OF WHITE.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2 Harry
Thawts strongest bulwark Of defense
for the killing of Stanford White will
be the oath-supported story Of Mrs.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw that White en-
treated her to quit her husband a
short time before he was killed.
stamford White tried to make me
forget my duty as a wife, and ! told
my husband will be the vital point
of young Mrs. Thaw's testimony.
Thus, one Of the main allegations
at the time of the killing is revised.
What is considered to be ample and
convincing proofs of Mrs. Thaw's
statements will be offered. 1t was
made known that they will consist
mainly of the now famous letters
written to her by White, which have
been hidden by the defense. Persons
who have knowledge Of conversations
between Mrs. Thaw and White, and
of facts correlated to the communities
Etions that passed from White to her
will be placed on the stand. From
them Is expected to come c%orrobora-
tive evidence.
In the story which will tell to the
jury Mrs. Thaw will go over in detail
every incident and fact dating from
her earliest acquaintance with Thaw
Ito the night of the murder. White,
according to her, began his rleadings
a short time after her marriage in
Pittsburg.
one of his principal statements was
that Thaw was not in a financial posi-.
ltion to support her in proper style.
This was subsequent to the time
when Mrs. William Tnaw had retuci
ed her sons income from $4,000 q
year to a much smaller figure 10 show
her disapproval of his conduct just
before the ceremony.
This lire of defense was settled up
on by Thaw and his wife as a positive
means of saving him from the electric
chair, a. long term OF imprisonment.
or confinement in an asylum for the
criminal insane.
The belief is that the rejection Of
this plan by the lawyers led to the
split between Thaw and Black, olcott
Gruber & Bonynge.

summer school VIII End According
to Schedule and In Spite OF Con
Alctlns Announcements.

MoRGANToWN, Aug. 2. Accord
ing to the university catalogue, the
summer school comes to a close on
Thursday, August 9. According to the
special pamphlet containing the SUM
mer school announcements, Friday,
August 10, is the date for the close.
The conflicting statements caused
considerable discussion among the
summer school students yesterday
and the day previous. DR.. D. B. Pur-
linton, president of the Institution. was
out of town. and there was no n in
authority to/idecide which date was
the correct one for the end of the
quarter. Dr.. Purinton returned to
town this morning, and decided that
August 8 would be regarded as the
date for the close, since some of the
students had already made their ar
rangements to leave at that time
though the later date was the correct
one, according to the plans of those
who made the arrangements for the
term. The students will be given
the benefit Of the error.
