MOTHER BELIEVES
THAW JUSTIFIED
IN KILLING RIVAL
Issues Public Statement
Showing Confidence in
Sons Cause.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4-Nrs. William
Thaw ISSUED "a statement today that
leaves no doubt OF her firm belief that
Harry Thaw has evidence of Justinca-
ton which viii acquit him Of shooting
Stanford White.
Harry Thaw, from his cell in the
Tombs prison, also issued "a statement
denying that suit ever had been
brought against him by Ethel Thomas
for an alleged beating she received In
his Fifth avenue apartment. He also
cast doubt on the statement of C~- Of
the Thomas girls former attorneys
that the girl died two years ago in q
sanitarium.
Mrs William Thaw's statement re-
moves the last shadow Of doubt that
the defense represented by Clifford W,
Hartrldge has some important evidence
under cover. This evidence is said to
be so conclusive that young Thaw will
waive any plea Of insanity except that
resulting from brOOding over the act Of
Stanford White on the very day OF the
shooting.
Mrs. Thaw's Words.
The statement which Mrs. Thaw au-
thorized for publication is as follows;
I regret the prevailing impression
that I have been Influenced by my son
in my decision as 10 his defense. What
I have done in this change of attorneys
Is simply the result Of my own OBJ
servations.
When I returned from Europe 1
made up my mind 20 take my time ard
look over every phase OF the situation,
I did this and the result was to release
the firm OF Black, OlcOtt, Gruber and
BOnynge, an1 10 place the whole matter
In the hands Of Clifford Hartridge."
The declaration that Ethel Thomas.
who is alleged 10 have brought suit
against Harry Thaw for $4,000 for IN
turies inflicted before his marriage 10
Evelyn Nesbit. is not dead. was made
today by friends OF Harry Thaw. They
hinted that the case was one Of at
tempted blackman and that it was new
er really filed.
'It Is a Lie"
IN this regard Harry Thaw. VINO US
ualIv maintains absolute silence, issued
the following statement;
.Tt Is a lie that Ethel Thomas has
been dead for two years. She may have
died recently. but 1 know that a very
little time ago she was alive and we'll
]. have told my attorney that to my
knowledge no suit was ever brought
against me by Ethel Thomas or in her
behalf"
The statement was made today that
Clifford Hartridge was ready 10 90 10
trial at any time which pleases the
courts and the district attorney. He
considers his case complete, ii is said

Drinking Recklessly.

When Baughman returned from his
New Washington run over the
Baltimore aad Ohio road Thursday night
he began drinking heavily.
Yesterday morning Baughman sent g
pleading note 10 his wife at her home,
1905 Riggs street. requesting her to come
TO his apartments. saying he wanted 10
take her IOr a ride.
When she reached his apartments
Baughman began weeping bitterly.
What are You crying about2" she
asked him.
ooh, don't mind me-" he answered, be
tween his sobs. "it will all be over
soon: you won't coHe TO my terms. al
I'll put an end to it all"
In a few minutes he requested her to
get a handkerchief for him out Of the
bureau. As she turned her head. RauEH-
man seized his revolver and was about
to fire. when she leaped toward the bed
and by main strength 5erked the weapon
away from his heart. toward which he
had pointed it
Declaring tat he would shoot her
through the brain If she offered further
resistance, Baughman broke his wife's

In view OF such a significant state
ment from the president Of the board.
IL may be taken that the whole board
would favor the choice Of Mr. Kendall
Formal tender, IL is stated awaits him

DESPITE FRANTIC
EFFORTS OF WIFE
Mail Clerk Baughman, of
New York Run. Jealous
of Stepdaughter.

Maddened by jealousy of his
wife's daughter, inspired by The
mothers love for the girl and re-
fusal to give her up, Thomas
Franklin Baughman, thirty-seven
years old, for twelve years a rail-
way mail clerk, shot himself
through the heart with a As Colt

local school and municipal authorities,
but has shown himself 10 be a man
fully qualified in all branches of .educa-
tional work. His forceful, though at
the same time tactful. treatment OF all
questions pertaining TO school work, il
said OF him, has given him front rank.
Another especial fitness pointed out Is
the fact that Mr.. Kendall would come
10 this city untrammeled by the strife
which has SO badly shaken the school
organization of the past, and without
any local entanglement to affect badly
his footing in school circles at the out
set
All these qualifications. taken as a
whole. seem TO present Mr.. Kendall as
the probable and logical choice. and
that his appointment viii come in a few
days is confidently predicted IN a num-
Der of quarters.
