NEW YORK, June 20 Harry
Thaw, who last night killed Stand
ford White during the performance
at Madison Square Roof Garden,
was taken to police court ina patrol
wagon today. An immense crowd
blocked the streets leading to the
court. Thaw passed d sleepless
night. He was araigned on the
charge of murder and remanded to
the coroner from police court. He
was taken to the criminal court
building.
When arraigned before the cor
oner, Assistant District Attorney
Turnbull appeared for the prosecu-
ton. Thaw's attorney was Daniel
O'Reilly.
Thaw was committed to the
Tombs without bail. The inquest
will begin Thursday. Thaw was
taken to q cell in the Tombs prison.
Delafeld, Thaw's regular counsel
knows where Mrs. Thaw is and will
produce her in court when desired.
The murder was the most sensa-
tional in the history Of New York

HIS NERVE
SEEMS TO HAVE
FAILED HIN

Sensational rumors are current
througout the entire Italian colony
hereabouts in regard to the suicide
of Manfrida. Some, in fact all
Italians, who have been approached
on the subject claim that Manfrida
was an anarchist in the old country
and was detailed to assassinate a
certain notable person in this coun-
try. He evidently, if this surmise
be correct, had not either the nerve
or the opportunity to accomplish the
command and therefore secreted
himself in this region where he
thought the order would not be able
to reach him.
A few Of his fellow-countrymen
contend that he had received warn
ing that he either do the bidding on
which he was detailed or else he
would meta horrible death and that
he chose the self-destruction route
rather than be tortured.
The fact that he is q highly edn-
Gated man and known to have sprung
from an excellent Italian family
|lends color to the anarchistic theory.
Possibly, coal company officials
hereabouts who had refused him en-
plovrnent for no apparent reason
could throw some light on the sub
