ford, made while he was dying,
that Thaw was not regularly mar
ried to his wife on the occasion of
the first ceremony, was vOclfer-
ously denied by Mrs. Thaw at the
Tombs prison. The case grows
more salacious. 1t had its pathetic
side today in the arrival of the al
legged murderer's mother in Eng
land, with no knowledge of the
crime which happened days ago
until informed of it by the Earl of
Yarmouth.
Special Dispatch TO The Star
NEW YORK, July 3-Counsel for
Harry X. Thaw. who shot Stanford
White, have apparently decided to let
their plea of mot guilty" stand for the
time. without making any additional mo-
tion. 1t was thought that former Judge
Olcott. counsel for Thaw. would make
some motion today, as when he entered
the plea on Thursday he asked the privi-
lege of making one today. This morning
he sent WoTu TO the QlStrlct attorneys
Office that he had no motion to make at
this time Thaws case was not called
when Recorder Goff took his seat in part
j of the court of general sessions
Former. Judge Olcott is very desirous
that his client should have a speedy trial
He says that Thaw has suffered greatly
from his confinement in the Tombs and
he fears that utter breakdown may
follow If the trial is long delayed.

husband in the prison this morning She
looked pale and fatigued and told in
9hiFers that she was not feeling well be-
cause of heavy cold. She waited for
visitors until the time came to be ad-
mitted TO the prison proper.
Trial in October.
District Attorney Jerome declares there
was no intention of bringing Thaw to trial
before next October. During July and
August only two parts of the court of gem
eral sessions are kept open, and they are
usually busy with prison cases outside or
homicide or other charges likely to result
IN long trials To place on the calendar
Tor the summer case which would prob
ably occupy a court for two or three weeks
would be unfair, in the mind of the dis
trict attorney, 10 fifty or sixty prisoners
who have prior claim to have their cases
settled.
Developments in the case at the present
time seem to turn on what new stories de-
tecttves come forward to tell about their
shadowing of either White or Thaw The
private sleuths who say they were retained
by White when the architect learned that
an espionage was being kept upon him deny
many OF the stories that have been tod of
Whites manner of living. The other
sleuths who say that they were retained in
the interests OF Thaw, declare that their
client was sold out and that garbled and
misleading reports of their investigations
were sent TO the agency's client. One de-
tective who in the employ of the
agency Thaw IS said to have engaged de-
clares that he and his side partner had
sufficient evidence on one occasion to en-
trap White into a situation which would
have reflected upon him seriously He
says. though. that Thaw was not notified at
the proper time, and that that grand coup"
was therefore not made. Both patches OF
detectives are wrangiing over the truth OF
their statements. and 1t is question or
what may finally be adduced from them
when they are placed under oath on the
witness stand.
Marriage Was Regular
II was married to Mr. Thaw while we
were abroad and before the ceremony in
this country. All the statements to the
contrary untrue. 1 have the proof,
which viii be produced at the trial. If the
valet. Bedford. said we were not married
i am very much surprised, but don't be-
lieve he said any such thing" This state
".
Thaw, whose husband is now in the Tombs
prison charged with the muredr OF STAN
ford White II was called forth by a state
Office yesterday following the death of
Thaws valet. William Bedford.
Bedford was TO have been one of the
principal witnesses for the prosecution at
Thaws trial and he was examined at
length by representatives of the district at
torney before he was stricken with the at
tack of appendicitis which resulted in his
death YESTERDAY n ny-
animation, according 10 the statement is
sued yesterday Bedford said that Thaw
and Miss Nesbit travelled together through
Europe, occupying adjoining connecting
rooms. The only marriage he had heard OF
was the one that took place at Pittsburg
after their return from Europe. He also
declared that White never had called upon
Mr.. Thaw to his knowledge,
Wanted Another
Mrs. Thaw In replying TO the statement
today said that the second marriage ce-e-
mony at Pittsburg was performed in COM
pliance wit. the request of Mr.. Thaw's
mother. Mrs. Thaw made her usual daily
visit TO he husband in the Tombs today
She remained with him for some time.
The counsel for Thaw decided today not

week ago when the prisoner entered a
formal plea OF not guilty Under the res
