 nection With Case.

New fOrk, July 1b.--Mrs. Wtilam Thaw was prohibited today by the prison rules from visiting her son. Harry K Thaw. in the Tonbs. but 1t was announced that she will see him some time tomorrow. probably in the afternoon.
 It will be the first meeting of mother and son since the tragedy on the Mad ison Square Roof Garden when Thaw shot down Stanford White. Mrs Thaw returned from Europe yesterday. Mrs- Thaw is stopping at the Hotel Lor- raine, where Mrs. Nesbit Thaw. her daughter -in-iaw, has been making her home since Harry Thaw was arrested. There was a conference at the elder Mrs. Thaw's apartments this afternoon at which Clifford W. Partridge. IT,. who has become chief counsel to the prison er since the Iatter's unexpected dismiss sal of the law firm of Black Olcotl Gruber and Bonynge. was present. What transpirod is not known and MT. HartTtdge declined afterward to say what changes, if any, were contem- plated in the line of defense
 ssIn Awful H0iep
 Tn apeakin9 of the case today MT. Hartridge said that while he realised young Thaw was in ian awful hole he Sid not believe that any jury would ever convict him of anything.
 q feel as sure of that" said the at- torney. "as do that l am stadinS here. I would stake my soul on 1t. Previous to making the statement Mir HartridRe had explained that for years he had been personal and even intimate friend of Harry. and 1t was as such that he originally was called into the case.
 AS to the reasons leading up to the decision on the part of Thaw to dis | pense with the services of Black, Ol- I artA n e. ridge said he could not speak at this | time. He added:
 "Judge Oicott is a personal and pro- | fessIonal friend of mine and it would not be fair to him or to Harry to talk about that phase of the case until
 shall have lad an interview with Juaks | oleott l expect to see him toIaort ow and Ret from him the results of hia 1 work of the last two weeks or more | I have already received from Judge 0i- l cott many of the papers in the case' including long statement to the judge | bv Mrs Harry Thaw. The others, l Tndwe Olcott tells me, are locked In a l safs denosIt vault down town and will | be handed over to me tomorrow as l soon as the banks open for business. Solid With Papers.
 MT. Hartridge then said to the re- 1 norters. q want a full and frank un- | derstanding with the men who are | | naners. I wish first of all that nopody shall be nisled and that no stories de.- rimental or untrue as to either slae shall get into print and be credited to the counsel of Harry Thaw. As It is many stories have been printed thas 1 hava hurt the case in the minds of the public and the friends of both Lneranna most concerned in the affair. | An that we want is the truth. 1t will come out and in good time.
 From a suggestion made by MT. Hartridge. 1t is evident tnas 9osn Harry Thaw and his wife are anxious to make some kind of statement. Tor
 Inc nevv chief counsel said that among
 other plans he had in mind was one | providing that Harry and Mrs' h4fry kThaNv. should write out for him what
 eyar they think or feel that the news
 rsnsrs should know. and he would
 nass on the articles and if he approved l them would give them out to the news ] naner men It is known to those who
 have talked to Thaw and his wife. tnaf
 there gre several subjects on whicn 1 hoth wish to speak, but their lips hava
 boan sealed hitherto by counsel Those
 subjects deal in great part with tnear
 early life and family relations.
