NEW YORK, July 2.-After due OBJ
servance of Sunday as a day of rest
development of sensations in the Thaw-
White murder case was resumed to-
day.
Both officers of the law and toilers of
the daily press took up again ener-
getically a week of tearing aside tin
seled curtains that have been hiding
secret life in the New York tenderloln
by the principals in this tragedy and
their associates.
Surprising statements were made to-
day regarding two Californians, whose
names have been connected with incl
dents leading UP to the murder. The
Brooklyn Eagle says strange feature
of the case that has never been cleared
up is the connection of Truxton Beale
with the events preceding the tragedy.
1t has been asserted freely that Beale,
who is a San Francisco society man,
was at Thaw's table in Martins at the
dinner that preceded the shooting.
1t has been stated just as positively
that Beale sat with Stanford White
and his son Lawrence White
Still another story is that Beale left
Whites table and went over to speak
to Thaw, and to his California friend
McCaleb. 1t was suggested today that
Beale might be the mysterious person
who went to Thaw in Martins and told
him of the alleged remark by White
concerning Mrs. Thaw.
Was a Friend of 10th
Beale was an intimate friends of
Thaw, 1t is said, and also a friend of
Stanford White.
The Eagle says further: "The per-
slstent report that there would be an
other Indictment in the White murder
case was utterly discredited today.
The man who claimed TO know posi-
lively said there would be no other in
dictment and the case would not be re-
submitted to the grand jury. 1t was
supposed the second indictment was in
tended for Mrs. Thaw. 1t was urged
that she and McCaleb, the California
clubman, were waiting at a convenient
distance until Thaw killed White. j.
M. Rorke, head of a squad of detectives
for months employed by Thaw to watch
White, said today:
Had the reports made by our men
been sent to Thaw just as they were
made, instead of being doctored and
altered and sometimes suppressed out
right in order e prolong the tasks,
the killing would rs, have occurred, as
they would very soon have known
enough to justify Thaw in causing
Whites death.
For instance, one night last year
three of our detectives tracked White
to his studio in Twenty y-sixth street.
He was in an auto and with him he
had two young girls-girls still in short
dresses
Little Girls Were Victims
"They all three went upstairs and
pretty soon wine began to be sent up
to them.
zone of the detectives watching
should have hurried to Thaw with the
news; then it would only have been
necessary for Thaw to get police or
chlldren's society agents to surround
the house and break in the doors.
White could have had no defense"
Rorke told his story to the district
attorney.
Asthony Comstock today received a
letter signed by man who states he
l. personally cognizant with what went
on in the room in Twenty-fourth street
occupied by White and his friends.
He gives Comstock the names of sew
eral of Whites friends. An important
statement in the letter is that young
girls were brought regularly from the
country to serve the purpose of White
and other men.
When District Attorney Jerome was
asked today what chance there was for
speedy trial for Thaw he said there
was none. Thaw must wait until Oc-
tober. Thaw's attorney, ex-Judge Oh
colt, said today: Harry Thaw cannot
remain in the Tombs all summer: il
would kill him."
