10 feel the same danger which threat
ened the vOyagers. The subject was
discussed. one of the young ladies re-
marking that she could not escape the
presentiment that something was going
10 happen.
When the matter was mentioned
every one of the Sentel family and

was finally laughed of after one of
the SenteH girls had remarked: Well

the family favored.
tt was intimated that the Earl and
Countess Of Yarmouth might come 10
America in time for the trial If It de-
veloped that they could be OF any as
sIstance There has been bad blood
between Harry Thaw and the early ever
since the latter married Alice Thaw. at
one of the most brilliant weddings
Piusburg has over seen.
This breach was widened by remarks
which the earl made about Evelyn Nes-
bit and several times the two men
nearly came 10 blows Mrs William
Thaw had Just succeeded in patching up
this difficulty and was looking forward
eagerly to a reunion in London as soon
a 8 Harry Thaw and his wife joined her
This fact. and the fate OF the family
name has removed every trace of feel
ing. and the Yarmouths VIII do all in
their power 10 help Thaw.
When the big steamer was finally
dOCked Mrs Thaw left her cabin sup
ported by the Carnegies. They went to
the after gangway. after the crush 20
get ashore had abated somewhat The
ships band was still playing and joyful
reunions were being held on every hand.
The gray haired woman dressed in
seni-nourning costume, came down the
gangway unaided. Her son. Josiah, who
was waiting, rushed up the gangway TO
meet her. He kissed her affectiOnateely
and with hardly a word, the party of
four hurried to two electric hansOms
which were waiting at the entrance OF
the pier.

Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. at the last mo-
ment decided not TO go TO the Hoboken
Pier, but awaited he- mother-in-law IN
her apartments at the Lorraine. Mrs.
Thaw's party reached the hotel shortly
before 6 O'Clock, and there was a touch
ing meeting between mother and wife.
There were several family conferences
during the evening. which were attend
eG by all members OF the family now in
the city
No information was given, however, as
to what line OF defense was favored BY
the family, or what their attitude would
be.
At the Tombs tonight il was said that
Harry Thaw spent = most restless even
ing. He paced up and down his narrow
cell and refused 30 be quieted. He
fumed at the red tape" which kept
his mother away from him.
II developed today that the defense is
endeavoring to prove that Stanford
White at times threatened Thaw with
bodily harm. One particular instance,
which it is said viii be brought up at
the trial. was the alleged attempt TO
hire Ed" Dunkhorst, the human
freight car TO thrash Thaw within an
inch of his life for $3.50. The offer was
refused by DunkhOrst who weighs more
than 800 pounds, and who did not like
the idea OF thrashing a smaller man.
