INSANITY THAW'S PLEA.
NEW YORK, July 4.-So grimly re-
lentless was Harry Kendall Thaw's
pursuit of Stanford White, whom he
killed on Madison-Square roof June
25th, that he spent one-fourth of his
income of $4,000 a year on detectives,
who were directed to gather such evil
dence against White as would land the
architect in jail. This was the report |
made to the District Attorneys office !
today. Urged on by hatred of the man !!
for whom his girl wife showed such
adherence, in fear Thaw would Hing !
money lavishly into the hands of de- /
tectfves. Had White accepted the lure !
IF enticements which were dandled be-
fore him, both by men and women |
sven Thaw would have been satisfied |
Nv the sensational Police Court disclos- |
ures that must have come.
But white was forewarned, and thus |
he pursued pleasures OF his
own, arranging with companions of his
own selection. Not one move Of Thaw's
men was unknown to him. spy re-
ported to White each plan and move
nent Of the enemy in time for him to
outwit him.
Mrs. William Thaw, mother of Harry,
s to return from England and bend
all her efforts and lavish all her
wealth, if necessary. to save her son
rom the electric chair or from I'M
,rfsonment She is expected to leave
he Earl of Yarmouths country seat
1t Park Hill as soon as she mas rested
md recovered from the shock caused
~ the news of the tragedy. INSANITY
will be the plea upon which she hopes
o save Harry Thaw from punishment.
Evidence regarding an affidavit
sworn to by Evelyn Nesbit in contem-
,lation. it is believed, of a suit against
Harry Thaw a short time before their
marriage is likely to be placed in the
lands of the District Attorney tomor-
ow. Assistant District Attorney Car
an is to have talk with the lawyer
Who drew up the affidavit for MISS .
t.. prosecution has FJSSH |
ormed that in this affidavit Miss Mes
lit made serious charges against Thaw,
hat compromise was effected and
hat Thaw subsequently married her.
7haw believed the threatened suit was
he work of White, and if expectations
re realized in regard to the matter the
will have what is regard
d as very strong case against ThaW.
No attempt has been made to sub
oena the friends of Stanford White
T run down the many stories circu-
ated recently about him. A hunt is
o be made, however, for persons to .
yhon Thaw is said to have talked in :
threatening way about White. The
district Attorney has heard that Thaw
made threats to kill White several
mes in restaurants in the hearing of
everal persons. These persons have | t

There is strong belief around some | b
