new EVIDENCE
Believed to Have Been
Found In the Thaw
Case-Discussion Over
the Letters-Some Pa
pers Not Turned Over.

New York, July 23.-Despite the fact
that the firm of Black, Olcott, Gruber
and Bonynge, in the supreme court
today. withdrew all opposition to the
order asked for by Clifford W. Hart
ridge. counsel for Harry X. Thaw,
awaiting trial in the Tombs for the
murder of the noted architect, STAN
ford White, to turn over all papers in
their possession to Thaw's new law
yer, it became known that the reports
of the alienists were not included
was by reason of the fact that the
reports were not in the form of affi-
davits and could not, by the courts
order, be placed in Hartridge's pos
session.
Former Chief of Police O'Mafa, OF
Pittsburg, personal friend of Thaw,
visited the Tombs today and from
his manner after leaving it is be-
lieved that O'Mara has discovered a
highly important piece of evidence
which will have direct bearing on
the Thaw- White case, but what it
is could not be learned.
There is a difference of opinion as to
what effect the letters written by Mrs.
Holman, mother of Thaws wife, writ
| ten while she was MEs. Nesbit, to
Stanford White, will have on the case.
Some see a great bolstering of the
prosecutions case, while others believe
that the defense will be strengthened.
WARNING WITH. WHITE.
With the exception of the affidavit
wherein Evelyn Nesbit made sensa-
tional accusations against Thaw the
letters by some are considered as be-
ing as positive as any testimony that
could be adduced, to indicate that
young Thaw was constantly warning
with White over the young woman.
On the other hand, men who nave
! followed the case closely say that the
letters that have thus far been made
public are by no means as harmful
to the defense as is generally believ-
ed. The construction they place
upon the letters is that they will aid
young Thaw's case and they state
they can prove after the Pittsburg
millionaire had won the girl away
from the influence of Stanford White
he firmly intended to make her his
wife, and as her prospective husband
he bitterly resented the interference
to which he was constantly subjected to
by Whites agents. To those holding
this point of view it is said that a
breach existed from the outset between
Thaw and Mrs. Holman and that one
of the reasons for this antagonism
was Thaw's frankly expressed disap-
proval of Mrs. Holman's attitude to-
ward White and her position toward
her daughter.

men in the ruins. Up to late hour
tonight there have been four deaths,
while several laborers have been res
cued suffering from dangerous injur-
les.
The dead are.
Charles Blythe. superintendent OF
construction.
Joseph Dout, Italian laborer.
Patrick Kendrick. plasterer.
Unknown laborer.
The building was constructed of
brick concrete block and steel and
was to have been a fire-proof struct-
ure The building gave way on the
northwest corner, the three floors
falling through to the basement while
the northwest walls crumbled and fell
outward.
Many of the laborers realizing their
danger, jumped and some escaped
with but slight injuries. Others were
stricken before they had time to jump
and we're carried from the debris un-
conscious. 1t is believed at this hour
that there are from eight to ten work
men still buried in the ruins in the
basement and it is feared none are
alive. Hurry calls were sent for the
fire department and also to the Farm
ingham hospital for help.
Nearly all the members of the Ninth
infantry now at the state camp
did heroic work in taking away the
debris.

'STAND.PATTERS
To Receive the Endorse
ment Of Roosevelt and
Will Likely Dominate
the Campaign Cry.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 23.-The
first real good political heartto-heart
talk of the season was pulled off at
Sycamore Hill today when the presl-
dent, Speaker Cannon, Representa-
tives Sherman, Loudenslager and Nc
Kinley, and Senator Penrose got their
heads together over the congressional
campaign. After the conference was
over and the visitors had left, with
the presidents luncheon and fatherly
advice slowed away, Secretary Loeb
said: la
"The plans of the congressional
campaign were gone over generally
and the president expressed himself
as being in entire accord with the
committees idea" a.
Innocuous as this statement may ap-
pear to be, it is believed that It con-
tains a great deal of POLITICAL ssigni-
ficance. 1t may mean that the presi-
dent has agreed to make no move or
utterance during the summer or fall
which will in any measure disturb the
"stand pat" plans of the speaker and
the congressional committee. 1t may
even mean that the president has
promised to use his tremendous influ-
ence to further the "stand-patters" in
the fight for the control of the house
of representatives. At any rate the
visitors seemed highly elated when
they left the Roosevelt cottage this
afternoon and Representative Sher-
man, chairman of the congressional
committee, was also much pleased.
After coming from Sycamore Hill
Mr. Sherman said that the Republican
campaign text. book would be issued
within the next two. weeks, and that
| 1t will contain some pretty strong
"stand-pat" arguments. In fact, it
is understood that "stand patism" will
be the keynote of the book and of the
campaign.
Mr.. Sherman, said that Secretaries
Taft and Shaw, Speaker Cannon and
Senator Beveridge would be the heavy
artillery of the campaign from an
|-oratorical point of view. They will
be assisted, of course, by every Re-
publican member of the present house.

The prefect and General Kaulbars
have done everything possible to quiet
the malcontents during the last 36
hours, but as the moments. go by, mat

HARTJE SECURED
His First Victory Since the Trial of

Scott Lettera.

Pittsburg, July 23.-The permission
of court to examine handwriting ex-
perts as to the authenticity of the
Helen Scott letters was the first VIC
tory gained by the libellant since the
famous divorce trial started and was
the principal feature of the afternoon
session.
These letters, Helen Scott claimed
on the witness stand were forgeries,
but the attorneys for Augustus Hartje
contend that she wrote them while
acting as a go-between for her sister,
Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje and Coach
man Tom Nadine. The court in al
lowing the experts to testify as to
whether the letters are genuine or not
stated that unless the letters are
properly accounted for, they will have
very little weight.
The admission of the letters was
only secured after legal war OF
words which lasted two hours. Tho
letters were then given to Professor
Persifor Frazier. of Philadelphia who
gave as his opinion that they were IN
the handwriting of Miss Scott.
Attorney Edward c. Hartje, brother
OF the libellant testified that he had
found portions of the love letters al

Hartje in the ash heap in Madness
