 IN THE TOMBS
fcontlnued From .Pnge ope.l

It was reported this morning that Mrs. Thaw had been heard to direct that she be driven to i4s West Forty Ninth street. She was not found at this address. however.
 We'll on to four o'clock this morning g, big crowd hung around the police station with every little while some aleged friend of Thaw trying to get to see him. until special detail of off, cers was required to keep the crowd in check.
 Lawrence White. son of the murdered man. was informed of the tragedy about midnight. He went to the Mad ison Equare Garden and after arrang- ing for the care of the body. summon ed his fathers partner, Mir. McKim, and both drove away. It is believed they went to Long Island town where Mrs. White Is i'll. to break the news to her.
 Tragedy Not Surprise.
 The tragedy, while shock to the friends of both men. was not altogether surprise to them. They knew, and have known for several years, that against the architect, Thaw had the most bitter feeling. It dated back to the time when he firs- relI in love with the young woman who now is his wife. He made no secret of this feeling.
 It had come to tie ears of White and his friends had often discussed 1t with him: some had even warned him to be careful. but declari ; that there was nc reason for the feeling. the architect went about his business as usual. MT. and Mrs. Thaw H. in Pittsburg and the incident was fast beings forgotten until the early part of rnIs spring. when the young couple came to this city and took apartments. The warnings were renewed then on tht part of some, but at these the architect laughed
 The beginning of the tragedy last night was in the Cafe Martin at the dinner hour Its end was on the roof few minutes after II o'clock. In the first scene MT. and Mrs. Thaw. her father and,another man were dining to- gather when MT. White and two other men entered and took places near by. According to Mir. Thaws own words to a reporter. he did not know of the presence of the architect until the agi- tation of his wife attracted his at- tention. He asked a question to be answered by a note saying:
 That dirty blackguard Is here.''
 White left the cafe soon afterward, visiting his studio in the tower of Mad ison Square Garden. which Is one of the many buildings he designed, then going to his club and finally to the roof gar den. MT. and Mrs. Thaw were there. Mrs. Thaw had gone back to the scenes to visit some friend and Immediately her husband began pacfng up and down the floor. It was while Thaw was on the western side of the building that White came in, sat down, chatted a moment with Harry Stevens and then. as Stevens left, looked at the stage Thaw watched him a moment from one of the entrances, then began to thre ad his way forward.
 Without looking to1the right or left brushing into several women and men he walked slowly toward the table un- til he leaned forward over its edge op- n0stta a hia victim
 Cursed Then Fired.
 As he did this. White recognized him and made a move as If to arise. But there was no time. With some nut tered imprecation the young man, drawing d large automatic revolver, began firing. Three shots rang out but two took effect and White was dead. Turning Thaw faced the audi ence. "broke" the weapon. throwing all the cartridges out and started away. It was then he was arrested and soon afterwards Mrs Thaw rushed up and putting her arms about hts neck kissed him.
 statement credited to Thaw imme- diately after the arrest is this: We were all at a party in Martins. You can find out the names of the others there. but was sitting some distance from my wife Suddenly I saw her get very pale and began to shiver and I . thought she was i'll.
 T made a motion to inquire what was the matter and she called wait CT and wrote a nore which she sent around the table to me.
 "rhe note said the dirty blackguard is here. Then turned and saw that fat scoundrel sitting there, big and healthy. and then I saw her and how she was"
 Did White make any motion to at tack you
 What" said MT. Thaw.
 The question was repeated.
 Thaw nodded his head in the affirm ative.
 Fro mhis pocket when he was search ed there was taken leather revolver shield, such as policemen carry their weapons tn He had S16S in cash and several blank checks, besides a gold cigarette case.
 MT Thaw did not display the least anxiety about his own welfare nor about the effects of his shots. He never asked a question about White. He did not ask any questions of the police at all He seemed as uncon- cerned as if bailing out chauffeur in- stead of facing an accusation of mur- der.
 Mrs. Thaw's Quaking.
 As he talked with a reporter, he reverted again and again 10 ms Wites 8 attack of shivering when she saw White in Martins.
 That poor. delicate. little thing all nervous and shaking like reed" he said, half to himself. And there he was, the big healthy scoundrel God"
 William Thaw, nephew of the man charged with Stanford Whites killing. was in the city yesterday and left for Pittsburg on an evening train.
 D AFaHt a tfN fu connected with the shooting. It was just as one of the characters was sing- Ing, And Now Let the Duel go on." that the first shot was heard. Mana ger Lawrence of the theatre was one of the first to realize that it was no stage revolver that had cracked and jumping to 9 table, commanded his chorus to continue singing, but the girls on the stage had seen White fall and several tainted. Even then the audience was not fully alive to the sit- uation and 1t was not until it was an- nounced that an accident had happen ed, did the excitement begin.
 Stanford White was the son of Rich HIs father was well known as a critic, journalist and essayist and for more than twenty years served as chief of escapes notice in the summing up of a singers career. and that Is the ab- solute self-denial that must be prac- ticed in order to keep fresh for ones art.
