ASSERTS CAUSE TO BE JUST

history of New York state
The prominence of the Thaw family So
cialIv. the wealth of his parents, the cir
oumstances surrounding the young mans
marriage to Evelyn Nesbit, the artists
model and chorus girl, and the spectaeu-
lar scene In the midst of which ne hred
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 steadfast-
! " has declined to give his assent to any
! such plan, and in his determination 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 Imprisonment dismissed several
of the lawyers engaged to help in his de-
Tense, 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 way
ward son of rich and indulgent parents,
had become widely known throughout tiie
country prior to the killing OF STANFORD
White by reason of the publicity given to
many of his escapades by the newspapers.
