Hired Private Detective to Guard
Him From Thaw's
Jealousy.
INTENDED TO END NATTER
Diary Shows Architect Had Become
Afraid of Thaw and Was Going
Into Courts Day After He
Was Shot.

NEW YORK, June 3O.-"Mrs. Thaw
will be the principal witness in her
husbands defense. She will tell a
thrilling and startling story. ! cannot
make the details public now, but her
testimony win open the eyes of New
Workers and people all over the world" I"
This statement was made today by
Judge 0lcott of the counsel for Harry
X. Thaw and some interesting side
lights were thrown on the Thaw-White
tragedy by a private detective, who
declared he was employed by White as
a bodyguard for more than year before
the shooting. In extracts from his
diary detectives say that White un-
doubtedly cared for himself; that he
took minute precautions to guard
against surprise; that equally ingenious
plans were made by corps of detec-
tives employed by Thaw to keep track
of Whites movements and on the day
White was shot he had decided to ap-
ply to the authorities to prevent a
continuance of the espionage to which
he had been subjected. The detective
thus described the meeting between
White and himself, when he told the
architect that Thaw was the employer
of detectives who were annoying White.
According to this statement White
said:
This man Thaw is crazy; he imagines
l have done him some wrong; l used to
know his wife; l befriended her and her
family; Thaw was insanely jealous of
his wife; he doubtless imagines am
meeting her and before God, | am not.
My friendship for the girl was taken
from purely fatherly interest, and
since her marriage, she has repaid my
kindness by annoying me greatly by
making remarks to mutual acquaint-
ances; such remarks being intended to
arouse the jealousy of her husband. /
cannot understand it. l never in my
life injured man or woman"
According to his diary on June 5,
White said it was time to close up
the matter. White said he was ner-
vous wreck and on the day following,
Tuesday, he was going to take final
action in the courts. That night he
was shot.

PORTLAND. June 80. -- According 10

lures.

PHILLIPS WROTE ARTICLE

WASHINGTON, June 30.--William r
Hearst tonight telegraphed the follow
ing from san Francisco In answer to
the speech Of Senator Bailey on Thurs
day:
Senator Bailey said little Of import
ance and consequently there Is little
TO be said in rrply."
Hearst says that though. he would
like to. he can't claim the credit for
Mr. Phillips articles, whose value may
be judged from an aroused semi.sense
Of decency in some and shame in Others.
Bailey, he says, began his career by
expressing unwillingness TO wear the
conventional dress suit.
"He ended by wearing tamely and
humbly, the scarlet livery of the corpo-
rations, But while Bailey is willing to
wear trust livery and answer the
Rockefeller bell as readily as any other
Standard Oil lackey, he would not like
to have his attention called to his badge
of scryitude, and at present he is doing
his best TO hide it and shield himself
behind the grave Of dead Senator Cor
man."
Hearst concludes by saying his only
interest in the matter is as it illu-
strates the growing evil of corporations
controlling the peoples representatives.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 30.-The
downfall of the Goremykin ministry,
whose attempts to bridge the chasm
between the government and parliament
have resulted only in widening the
breach. is now virtually an accomplished
fact, if the statement of a grand duke
can be accepted According to this per-
son final desperate effort of the fac
ton headed by Minister Stichinsky.
which wishes to disperse parliament and
again resort to repression, has failed
and the decision has been taken to bow
to parliament, dismiss the ministry and
make no attempt to impose forced
recess. In spite of denials, negotiations
between constitutional democrats and
the emperor have been secretly in pro-
gress for several days; but there is
no reason to believe they will eventuate
in anything definite towards superced-
ing the Goremykin ministry with
mixed ministry of constitutional demo-
Gratis and 0ctoberists chosen from the
council of the empire. Such a cabinet,
if formed, would probably be incapable
of working in harmony and would only
postpone, and not solve the great issue.
The difficulty of forming new cabinet
is likely to delay the announcement Of
Goremykin's retirement for several
days.
