The Most Important Criminal Case In New York In Recent Years--The Defendant and Other AetorS In the Tragedy.

New York. Nov 25.-The trial of Harry Kendall Thaw. slayer of Stan ford White, the noted architect. which has now been set for the first week in December. is looked forward to as one of the most famous cases in the crim- ina. history of New York state. The prominence of the Thaw family social ly. the wealth of his parents. the cir cumstances surrounding the young mans marriage to Evelyn Nesbit. the artists model and chorus girl and the spectacular scene in the midst of which he fired the bullets into the breast of the man who he claimed had betrayed his wife. all tend to attract an interest to the trial extending from one end of the country to the other.
 For a long time an effort has been made to have young Thaw rely upon defense of emotional insanity" but he steadfastly has declined to give his assent to any such plan. and in his de- termination not to agree to hide behind a cloak of insanity the cause which he impatiently asserts to be just he has at one time and another since his i'm prisonment dismissed several of the lawyers engaged to help in his defense, among them a former governor of the state of New York
 The players in this extraordinary tragedy of real life are each of them interesting. Harry Thaw. the ever wayward son of rich and induIgent parents, had become widely known throughout the country prior to the killing of Stanford White by reason of the publicity given to many of his es- capades by the newspapers. His father. the late William Thaw, was ore of Pittsburg's richest men. He had early seen that Harry was not to be en- trusted with a large income lest he give himself over to life of luxurious ldleness and liberty. So when the elder Thaw died he provided that Harry Thaw should have only s2.5O0 a year. The bulk of the estate went to Mrs. Thaw. whose indulgent love for her children was soon made apparent in the manner in which she lavished money upon them. Harry Thaw had but to ask whatever sum he chose and the mother gave it to him. He aban- doned his s250O year income from the estate to his valet. IL Is said that the young mans expenditures ofter aver aged as high as sS0.OO0 and siOO,OOO a year.
 For . long time following their we'd ding the Thaw's affairs were practi- cally lost sight of. They spent most of their time In New York were often seen together at the theaters and the cafes and apparently their lives ran happily together.
 lt was late in the evening of June a last. that the city and soon the en- tire country was ringing with the tragic news that Harry Thaw had slaln Stanford White. the Madison Square tack had been the Madison Square Roof Garden where the first nights performance of summer musical show known as Mile. Champagne" was being given. The place was gay in flowers and multitudes of colored electric lights and was thronged with a fashionably dressed audience. On the stage a man was singing "I could love n thousand girls when suddenly above the music the pistol shots rang out. The music ceased, the chorus girls and actors upon the stage were terror stricken. men and women in the audi ence dropped their glasses upon the tables before them. In the stiffness a man was heard to say:
 You ruined my wife. d. you. and now I've got you"
