JUROR BOTTOMS SACRIFICE

By DOROTHY DIX.

NEW YORK, Feb. I5.-Tears are the

What adds to the pathos Of the sit

are said TO have been a peculiarly de-
voted couple. In all the years Of their
married life they have scarcely been
parted a day until the beginning Of the
Thaw trial. when Mr. Bolton was chosen
on the jury and locked up with lis fell

CoTroborates Evelyn's Story.
More evidence that Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw told her story of Stanford
Whites treatment of her to her hus-
band before he killed White was
brought to light today by the state
ment of DR.. Josiah Strong. DR..
Strong, who is president of the
American Institute for Social Ser
vice, to which Governor Hughes has
given unqualified Endorsement. said
today that some time, two or three
years ago, Thaw came 10 him with
the story. He said Thaw asked him
for advice and that he told him TO
see Anthony Comstock, who was far
more familiar with the proper meth
DDS of proceeding in such matters.
He listened to the whole story in
order to be able TO judge how the
young man should proceed.
Nothing to Indicate Revenge.

that he was the son OF William Thaw.

An Astounding Feature.
What struck me as one of the as
founding features OF the recital was the
persistence and patience with which
Thaw said these men pursued their vic
Inns. ThaW desired TO break up this
den, but all efforts had been thwarted
by the influence Of the wealthy man at
the head Of Il.
In his recital young Thaw showed
no more feeling than any decent man

a story. He left on me the impression
that. as a young man OF good impulses
and ample means, he was anxious to
take acton that would end this re-
markable disgraceful condition Of af-

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-One Of Stan

which have been published in every
country on earth, where a printing press

accounted them scarcely worth the
reckoning. The book OF photographs
was part Of the fJJsam and 1etsam or
the golden tide that bore Evelyn Nesbit
on its crest. and which was scattered
heedlessly when she and Thaw were
married. Mrs. Holman found the volume
packed away in n trunk forgotten and
cast aside. She kept it, and bore Il TO

between Evelyn and her came.
Book Exchanged for Debt.
Not more than a year has elapsed
since the book again came into Mrs.
Harry Thaw's possession. Mrs. Holman
owed 500 borrowed money to a man
who had rented apartments from her

Of her first husband. The lean was Of
