Mrs. Thaw was taken away and the only
thing Thaw said after that to Debs was
to ask him when they got on Twenty-sixth
street, where he was going, and Debs told
him to the station house.
Il GOT HIM AND FIXED HIM
A witness who seemed to nave a very
clear idea of what had happened was Lionel
Lawrence, the stage manager. He knew
both Thaw and White. He said he had seen

his chair. He told the orchestra to keep
on playing and he ran over to the fireman
who had grabbed Thaw;,

Harry. l will stick to you through thick
and thin"
What did he say

Mr.. 0lcott wanted to NOW a lot about
Thaw's appearance. Lawrence said he
was very white and his eyes were large
Did he appear ~irrational?' asked MIR.
Olcott.
Il do not know how you would define
that, but he was a man who appeared to
be very, very much excited"
Thaw brought his eyes back quickly
from the roofs of the town outside for a
moment during Lawrence's testimony.
That was when Lawrence told OF what his
wife had said and what he had said. hen
they went back to the study of the roofs.
When the revolver was produced he was
still looking out Of the windows and the
weapon had no interest for him, although
his counsel, Mr.: Olcott, handled it and
looked down the barrel.
While the Coroner was giving the formal
charge to the jury, Thaw asked the de-
tectives what some OF the signs outside
meant, and then asked for a cigar. The
jury retired and came back quickly with
their verdict that White had come to his
revolver in the hands of Harry Thaw."
While the foreman was reading this of
Thaw was studying the brand of the cigar
just given to him.
The Coroner asked him to step up, but
he wasn't paying any attention, so his
lawyer had to tell him to get up on his feet,
and led him before the Coroner, who COM
mitted him to prison without bail to await
the action of the Grand Jury.
HE DESERVED 1T" TINES
While the jury was out Mr.. Olcott had
been busy debating to his stenographer
the statement Of the witness whom Mr..
Caravan hadn't called, although the Coroner
Harry Rubenstein, a clerk of 222 Henry
street. Mr.. Oloott quickly jumped up
and got from the Coroner his statement.
After describing the shooting and how he
had followed Thaw, Rubenstein swore that
he had heard Thaw say: That man de-

Darling, kiss me, which she did
Mr.. Olcott seemed very much pleased at
getting this witnesses statement.

After the crowd had been turned out Of
the court room Thaw was taken out and
into Coroner Dooley's office, while the
Coroner made out the commitment papers
Thaw asked if he could use the telephone.
MIR. Olcott was with Thaw and they had a
talk. Thaw seemed to be excited about
something. He insisted on using the tele-
phone and called up a number and inquired
for "A. c." The number was Anthony
Comstock's office and A. c. was Comstock.
Thaw seemed to get hold Of the man he
wanted, for he said, loud enough for every
one to hear, Il want you to come up this
afternoon. I have received a very imortant
communication and ] want you to investi-
gate it,"
According to Anthony Comstock be and
Thaw are old acquaintance and have been
working together for the publication Of the
town. But Mr.. Comstock said that he
hadn't got any such telephone call, because
he had been at his home in Summit all day.
Il intend to go to court to-day and shall
probably try to see Thaw,' said Mr. Com
