Mrs. Holman Will Testify
Against Harry ThaW in Or
der to Get Even.
SORE AT MRS. THAW SR.
MOTHER OF THAW'S WIFE CAN
NOT FORGET HOW SHE WAS
SIGHTED - PROSECUTION TO
OCCUPY BUT FIVE HOURS.

New York, Jan. 4.-That the prosecu.
tion will not consume more than five
hours in presenting it's case at the
trial of Harry X. Thaw for the shooting
of Stanford White, was learned this
afternoon, and it is said that the lives
of Thaw, his wife. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
and Stamford White, previous to the
killing, will not be taken into consider
alton. The District Attorney, how
ever, will have a number of witnesses
to use in rebuttal should Mrs. Thaw
go on the stand and tell story reflect
ing on Mr.. Whites treatment of her
and members of her family.
One of these witnesses assuredly
will be Mrs. Charles ]. Holman, Mrs
Thaw's mother. who is willing to ap-
pear at the trial, and it has been said
that her testimony will not help her
son-in-law's case.
Mrs. Holmans willingness to testify
it was said today may be the result of
her treatment at the hands of the ED
er Mrs. Thaw. Harry's mother. When
Mrs. Thaw agreed to accept Harry's
model-actress wife as a daughter-in-
law, she imposed the condition, so the
story goes, that young Mrs. Thaw sew
er her relations with her family. When
Evelyn met her mother some time lat
er she did not speak and Mrs. Holman
attributed her daughters action TO the
influence of Mrs. Thaw.
After the shooting, Thaw'S counsel
sent Roger O'Mara, formerly superin-
tendent of the Pittsburg police, to
Pittsburg to see Mrs. Holman. He
returned to New York in several days,
unsuccessful in his mission. it is said
Young Mrs. Thaw made her daily
visit to the Tombs today, and remain
ed an hour with her husband When
she was leaving she refused to answer
questions. throwing up her hands and
No. / won't talk to any-
body. / have been misquoted too
