Thaw's actions in the Tombs yester-
day seemed TO arouse the ire of his
lawyers They had instructed him not
to talk to any one without Olcotts
permission, but the prisoner decided
to ignore the order and talk for pubi-
cation. He insisted he was sane, but
1t was said that insistence on his part
would be pointed out by his lawyers as
being an indication he was insane.
When Thaw met the newspaper men
he spoke first of the statement he had
made on Tuesday.
He Wanted Peace Of Mind.
Boys, had to fight pretty hard
with my lawyers to be permitted to
make the statement" he said, but /
sfelt that l wanted to make my position
clear. / told them it would mean much
for my peace Of mind. / couldn't rest
easy until l had given out the state-
ment, / am sane and my physical con-
dition is good. / never felt better.
Il don't see why so much concern
is attached to the return of my mother
to this country. Any one could have
learned the reason for her going
abroad If he had asked me or any
other member of my family We all
were anxious she should remain aboard.
She is suffering from rheumatism, and
went abroad to take the cure in
Schlnznach. Switzerland. OF course, /
shall be glad to see her but / cannot
help wishing for her sake she remain
ed in Europe"
The lawyers for Thaw seemed per-
turbed when they were informed he
had talked with newspaper men, and
for more than an hour they remain
ed with him, telling him Il was dam
gerous for him to talk. It was said
they threatened to withdraw from the
case unless he obeyed their instruc-
tions. Eventually he announced, he
would be guided by them.
One of the witnesses questioned yes

close friend of Mrs. Thaw. 1t was
the third time the Mckenzie girl had
appeared at the office of the prosecut
tor, but she had refused to talk until
yesterday. 1t was said she told freely
all she knew about the case.
This Girl Can Tell Much.
Those who know of the intimate
friendship that existed between May
Mckenzie and Mrs. Thaw say the Me-
Kenzie girl If she feels so inclined.
