q complete reconciliation. The AFFIDAVIT
was destroyed. presumably by Miss Nesbit.
but a record Of it had been kept by White.

Once Thaw and Miss Nesbit got abroad,
according to this story, he resumed his

and come home d gain. She was induced
TO remain by Thaw Offering for the first
time to marry her. No marriage was
performed abroad, as was given out, but
the couple eventually came back here,
went to Pittsburg and were married in
April, 1905.
According to this story. which Is borne
out by the story told by Miss Toilette and
by Mrs. Mink, the mother Of Edna Mcclure,
White, from the time Miss Nesbit effected
a reconciliation with Thaw, after she had
made the charges In the affidavit. washed
his hands completely Of the girl. He never
had anything to do with her after that
episode and never even attempted to meet
her. -.
After Thaw and his wife came here and
began to frequent the restaurants again
they frequently saw White, but he did not
have ANYTHING to do with them, according
to Yesterdays witnesses. On several occa-
sions when Thaw saw White he made re-
marks about the latter. On one occasion
which was described by Miss Mcclure he
remarked in the presence OF several others
besides his wife: there goes that b.
that had you before I did,
Tho story Of these witnesses is hat Mrs.
Thaw on these occasions turned on her
husband, reproache d him for talking in
such a way to her and told him that White
was the man he had better talk to.
About the only man that Thaw would
trust his wife with, according to the story
OF their friends, was William Sturgis.
Thaw oftsn asked him to take his wife out
to restaurants and theatres. On one occa-
sion, according to the story told yesterday.
Thaw became greatly excited In regard
to White, and In the presence OF Sturgis
and several others Is said to have pulled
out a revolver and said:
.This is what / will kill that - with
Sturgis, according to this story, made
him put the gun up and told him not to act
like O fool.
According to those present on such COCA
sions none OF the friends OF Thaw ever
dreamed that he would murder White. On
one occasion Edna Mcclure, Maize Toilette
and several others were dining with the
Thaws at Rector's. One Of them went to
the telephone and Mrs. Thsw went with
her. Thaw followed them, and whom he
found his wife at tho telephone started to
pull her hair and drag her around The place.
Other episodes were described whore Thaw
at dinner parties thought some Of the men
invited were paying too much attention
to Mrs. Thaw and upset the whole party
by his rage.
Both Miss Follette and Miss Mcclure say
that White was never guilty OF seducing
young girls. They described him as having
q great fondness for giving parties for
actresses. He would toll o girl TO bring her
friends as long az they weren't homely.
But the parties. according 70 these girls,
we're not the exhibitions Of impropriety
that have been described. EAithoush Miss
Mcclure was the ciose ffishd for . long
