Il will Slt there, Dut l VIII hoo anb"oi
any questions" said he.
That pra ctically ended the proceedings
Ihaw was taken out Of the room and down
in the elevator. still chewing the cigar
that Or. Hamilton had given him,
After be had gone Drs. Macdonald, Flint
and Mabon had u long talk with Mr., Garyan
and with Mr.. Mott. II was evident that
no great disappointment was felt. IL was
said that the three alienists from what
they had solar seen OF Thaw had pretty
well formed the opinion that he was sane
and no additional examination may he
requested. Thaw's jawyern can, II they
wish, nsk for a judicial commission TO ex-
anime Thaw after hih indictment. They
would not say anything yesterday about
their plans except to state that the sugges-
ton that they had advised Tlaw TO conduct
himself az he had conducted himself was
-fattering but untrue.
SHORT INQUEST TODAY.
The inquest will bs held this morning
1t Ia set for $50. Thaw, of course, will be
producsd in court before Coroner Dooley
and the jury, but the proceedings will be
short. Just three witnesses Will probably
be heard. they will be DR., Leblanc, who
performed the autopsy, andtwo eyewitesses
Of the ira gedy
Thaw's lawyers may ask these witnesses
Some questions, But OF course, the actual
facts Of the killing are pretty much indis-
putable.
The same three witnesses will be taken
Immediately before a Grand Jury. Inc
only other witness before the Grand Jury
will he Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, over whom
the murder occurred.
EVELYN NEsBIr MAY BE TAKEN BEFORE A
JUDGE
1t will be her first inqhisition. Acting
District Attorney Mott said yesterday
that she would be asked a number of uues-
tons, and if she. refused to answer them
would be taken at once before a Judge in
an effort to make her answer them. She
will he the only witness before the Grand
Jury whose testimony will have anything
to do with motive. The expectation is
that an indict ment will he found imInedi-
ately. One reason why no more witnesses
will he examined by the Grand Jury, it
was announced, il to circumvent any move
being made by Thaw's lawyers to examine
the minutes.
All The other evidence so far secured
concerning events leading upto the tragedy
and the relations Of the three principal
characters In it-Thaw, his wife and the
victim-will be reserved for the trial. and
every attempt il to be made to keep.it out
of the hands Of Thaw's lawyers
DOUBT If INSANITY WILL BE PLEADED
The belief of the prosecution is that
the insanity theory will he abandoned
or that it will be used simply az a peg on
which to hang a mass of testimony con-
corning Whites past life and events in
Thaw's life which might bring out SYM
pathy for him.
So far, it was stated yesterday, no lawyer
has come forward to represent Mr.. Whites
family. nor has any communication been
received at the District Attorneys Office
from the friends or the family Of the dead
man. Apparently they are leaving the
matter entirely in the hands of the au-
thorities.
WHITE AMI MRS. THAw.
Thaw's wife has turned over to Mr.. OIL
colt a bunch Of letters which she has re-
ceived from White. When asked about
these letters Yesterday Mr.. Olcott said
Il have not looked over every letter
yet, but so far l do not know OF any letter
received by Mrs. Thaw from White after
through them all very carefully. UNDER
stand that most of the letters White wrote
to Mrs. Thaw have been preserved
So far az could be ascertnined yesterday
no evidence has been found to show that
Mr.. White had been pursuing the girl with
attentions recently though the Ienderloin,
has been pretty we'll sifted for stories and
many women OF the region are vocal on
the subject. 1t will he weeks before every
one Of these stories can be run down. 40
far Mr.. Garvan has examined about twenty
amined we're William Bedford, Thaw's
valet. and Nellie Laney. Mrs, Thaw's maid.
A bunch of detectives and suopo1a servers
and friends Of White and the examination
Of witnesses will take days.
One story Mr.. Caravan is looking up is
thatNWhite had been followed by detec-
tives and that he had, gone to a lawyer
and at his advice had hired a we'll known
evidence chaser. who had reported to him
that the men following him were employed
bv Thaw. Another version il that some Of
Whites friends had the report made to
White.
MURDER LANNE SOME 1 FOR
Another story which was told YESTERDAY
is that before Thaw married Evelyn Nesbit
ehe accused him of taking away from her
jewelry said to have been given to her
by White. that she made an afhdaVlt at
the instigation of White reRardlng this
and other doings Of Thaws and that WhitA
kept the affidavit.
Everybody who can be found who knew
anything about the actions Of the principals
at the Cafe Martin on Monday night has
been examined and the many stories spread
through the Tenderloin about remarks
alleged to nave been made by White
regarding Evelyn Nesbit in that restaurant
are regarded now as presentations.
Through a man called AZ a juryman in a
case yesterday Mr.. Garvan got the name
of one man who, this juryman said, had
told him that he had heard White say,
while dining at the restaurant, that Mrs.
Thaw was common property The story
is not believed, but Mr.. Caravan liz looking
for the witness.
ave are absolutely certain, y said Acting
District Attorney Mott yesterday, that
nothing happened at the restaurant on Mon
day evening that could have caused the
murder. 1t was planned some time before
that evening" " !,
Mr.. Whites private life is being looked
into pretty carefully. Mr.. Mott declared
Yesterday that a good many things that had
been printed about MIR. White were untrue.
He would say nothing more OF this phase
OF the case. -,
EVELYN Nesbit was named as one OF the
correspondence in the divorce suit brought
by Mrs, George W. Lederer against her
husband, but at the hearing before Frank.

her evidence solely to her husband q rela.
