Mrs. Thaw's appearance before the

was thought she possibly would take
advantage Of the opportunity to throw
some additional light upon the trag-
edy. When she appeared and request

jury took the view that for the pur-
pose Of an indictment her evidence
was not necessary.

Thaw on the other side.
Intimate friends of the girl declare
that she was much surprised when
she first learned that Thaw's atten-
lions We're serious, and that he offered
marriage. She was not at first in
clined to believe this until after the
passage of time his attentions contin-
ued, when all doubt of his sincerity
passed.
After the marriage there was no
lack of those to repeat the stories Of
the former relations that Mr.. White 10
credited with having maintained. Mr..
White became a thorn in the side Of
the young woman.
Those who knew her we'll enough
counseled her to be more secretive,
but never did she make show of con-
cealment in the matter, which served
to react with double strength upon
her husband, already inflamed by the
gossip.

Brentford, S. D., Is Laid Out on New

The Minneapolis & St Louis rail
road has created a new town on its
observation-disclosures River extension,
which promises to boom as success
fully as Florence. Brentford is the
name of the new South Dakota city,
located In the northern portion of
Sphinx county, midway between Condo
and MeNette. This is the third Of the
new towns which have been created,
the other two being Florence and Wal
lace, both In Codington county. The
new town Is located in the heart of
the famous James River valley, and is
from thirty to thirty-fve miles from
competing towns on other lines, with
an immense and very rich territory
surrounding it The town has Just
been plated by Thomas A. Way of
Iowa, the company's townsite agent,
and, although only two or three days
old, there is rush for the new place,
duplicating that which took place. and
is Still taking place in the Cooling
ton county town. The grading worl,
on the new road is being pushed fever

poets to have the rails laid into Condo
and perhaps further by the middle of
July No trouble has yet been ex-
perienced by the road in securing
laborers, although they are going and

o FroVe nat nav Knew OF Wlfe'S
Relations With White.
Before Harry Kendall Thaw comes
to trial for the murder of Stanford
White there will have been gathered
here for use by District ATTORNEY Je-
rome what is considered as good proof
that Harry *. Thaw fully knew before
he married Florence Evelyn Nesbit
here in April, 1905, of the alleged pre-
vious relations existing between Stan
ford White and Miss Nesbit.
Not only was Thaw cognizant of
this fact but from data gathered here
1t is likely that an effort will be made
to prove that Mrs. William Thaw, the
mother Of Harry, was informed OF
Miss Nesbit's relations with White by
Miss Nesbit herself before she became
Mrs. Harry Kendall Thaw, and that
with this full knowledge she was re-
ceived into the Thaw family
The alleged story, as it appears to
have been told by Evelyn to her chums
and which is Row being repeated by
them, is that Harry knew ali about
White before he married her, and ii
is alleged that Mrs. William Thaw
was also told about her flights with
the architect, and before the marriage
ceremony was performed here she
sent for her prospective daughter-!n
