first street about midnight, when he
was informed by reporters that his father
had suffered an accident at the Madison
square roof.
Young White said he had come into
town from Harvard, the latter part OF
last week. and with his father had gone
TO the family country house at st. James,
l.. L., 10 spend the week end. Yesterday
morning they left Mrs. White there and
came To New York
BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS
On the way up Mr. White told his son
that he had business engagements In
Philadelphia which would compel his
presence in that city last night Young
White suggested 10 his father that the
two dine together last evening and after
ward go TO a roof garden or TO the thea
tire. They met in the evening at the
White town residence, and then went to
the Cafe Martin for dinner, during which
Lawrence told his father that he had
purchased seats for the New Amsterdam
roof.
Mr.. White said, however. that he could
not go along with his son. as he had bust
ness engagements in Philadelphia which
would compel his going 10 that city last
night. Then the two drove I'm a hansome
10 the New Amsterdam theatre.
II is known that for years bitter
enmity had existed between White and
Thaw on account or the formers 3 htten-
tons 10 Mrs. Thaw. which had begun
prior 10 her marriage.
Sergt Mccarthy. In charge OF the Ten
derloin station sent Detectives Mcdonald
and Foster at / O'Clock this morning to
find and arrest Mrs. Thaw. The two po-
licemen hurried for the Lorraine, Forty
NTH street and Fifth avenue where 1t
Is said she is stopping.
AT this time word was received at the
station that Mr.. Delaheld could not come
there but that he would send a Mr..
Heightman 10 represent him. When this
information was conveyed 10 Thaw he
became greatly agitated and said
"I must have Delaheld. / will not talk
10 any other person Give me the tele-
phone book and ! will find his number
and tell him he must come"

While few in the audience recognized
Thaw as he walked down the aisle and
others had observed White when he came
IN, the majority of those in the audi
ence thought at first that the shooting
was some sort of horseplay IN connection
with the show.
After he had fired the first shots Thaw
looked down at the prostrate form of the
architect. and said: You deserve this;
you have ruined my wife"
Seated at the table with White was
young woman. Some people say she
greatly resembled Evelyn Nesbit. the act
ress and artists model who married
Thaw. The young woman cried out TO
White as he rolled 10 the floor: Don't
be afraid; won't leave you"
THAw ARRESTED.
Thaw after the shooting walked leisure
/. ly 10 the rear OF a clump OF potted shrub
berry and around behind these toward
the elevator.
e Lionel Lawrence. the stage manager OF
ethe show, knew that the shooting was
not part OF the entertainment and he
told this fact to Fireman Druddy and Pa
troman Debs, who were on duty on the
roof. Just as Thaw approached them
Druddy knocked the revolver from his
1and and grabbed him.
shaw was pale but cool He made no
sstampt 10 resist the fireman and the
policeman and willingly stepped into the
elevator and was hustled downstairs.
Meanwhile the people in the audience on
the roof had come TO the realization that
tragedy had taken place and a wild
panic ensued.
Patrolman Debs, as soon as he reached
the ground floor. telephoned for ambu-
lances and extra policemen. Two ambu-
lances were sent 10 the Garden and the
reserves were called out from the Ten
derloin station and hurried to the scene
OF the shooting
DEATH INSTANTANEOUS
A doctor In the audience made his way
10 the side OF Mr. White and said al a
glance that he was dead lie and the
ambulance surgeons who arrived soon af-
terward said that he had been killed in
stantly.
Harry Stevens. who has the bar privi-
leges at the Garden. happened to be sit
ting at the same table with White lie
says that the first shot missed the archi-
tect There were two bullet wounds, one
in the eye and the other in the abdomen
The attendants at the Garden, assisted
by cool-headed men I'm the audience,
worked herocally in an effort to prevent
panic. A stampede had started to the
elevator and stalrways, but the excited
was no danger and took their time in
getting out
After the three shots had been fired
