Quarter of Million
Gipen Mrs. Than
By Mother-in-Lau,

PITTSBURG. April Sword received
from New York that Mrs. William Thaw
had settled $4,000 on Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw before the commencement Of the
trial OF Harry K. Thaw for the murder
of Stanford White Is confirmed in a
statement from Mrs. William Thaw 90
day.
This action. It was explained. was not
necessary on the part of Thaw's mother
TO induce her sons wife TO tell her
story on the stand, nor was IL arranged
in any way to be affected by the out
come OF the trial. Those who are in
formed on the subject say this act OF
the elder Mrs. Thaw was merely in
keeping with the confidence ste placed
in Evelyn Nesbit Thaw when she ac-
cepted the young woman as "A daughter
in-law on the basis that both she and
Harry intended 70 turn over new
leaves" and live quietly as husband and
wife.
The impression is given that Mrs
William Thaw believed the young couJ
pie were keeping their word TO her until
Stanford White crossed their path by
renewing his attentions to Evelyn.

final prepa ration OF his address He
said when he had completed his speech,
If Jerome wished a delay before an

wiz Keep jury Together.
= Jerome suggested It was hardly fair
to the jurors TO take them from their
business without a chance 10 arrange
their affairs for the few days they
would be held together. and Justies
Fitzgerald decided they could be sepa-
rated until o'clock today. From tbs
time they meet this afternoon until theil
verdict is returned or a mistrial re-
corded they will be kept together.
Justice Fitzgerald ordered the attor-
neys on both sides to hand to him at

GRANTED LEAVE
To SEARCH FOR
MARTIN FUNDS
Attorneys Will Open Safe
Deposit Box in Trust 0
Vaults.

Permission 10 open Thomas r. Mar
tins safe deposit box in the Washing
ton Loan and Trust Company's vaults
was granted by the District Supreme
Court today to A. Z. L. Leekie, counsel
Tor the firm OF Martin Brothers, and Guy
johnson, one OF the receivers for the
firm.
Because it has been discovered that
Mr.. Martin, one of the Martin firm, held
the box under the name Thomas r.
Martin, executor" it is strongly an
ticipated by Mr.. Martins friends that
the box will be found to contain securi-
ties 10 cover his Indebtedness TO the
Watterson estate, an indebtedness which
IS now said to aggregate $4,000. Thomas
r. Martin Was the executor OF this es-
tate
de was. however. executor for several
other estates. Consequently, it does not
necessarily follow that the box con
tains securities relating to the Waiter
son estate.

this afterT- con at 3 o'clock at the Wash
ington Loan and Trust Company in the
presence Of Mr. Johnson Mr Lec<ie.

said that the papers in Stockholm ridi-
cule the incident I can put my finger
on the paper and simultaneously tell
a few facts that would not only open
the eyes OF Sweden, but disclose a few
interesting facts on this side of the
water.
Minister Graves has said my ereden-
tials were not satisfactory That was
his only way Of getting out OF a tight
hole had no intention Of making the
matter so public, but IT reached the
point where I could no longer submit TO
it. and 1 determined. in view Of the

has been most distastefuI 10 me and
which is liable to confront other Ameri-
can women abroad If the ministers rep
resenting this country are not prevented
from using their own discretion in the
face Of cold facts.
There was absolutely no question
about my papers. Mr.. Graves could not
prove it: his word was merely given 10
me. He declined to recognize cabled
dispatch from the Rev. DR.. Suer, of
New York. 10 whom I cabled when ad-
ditional credentials were asked for; ne
declined TO notice letters from my
cousin, the Raron Won TrOnchin, Of Ber-
lin; he declined &c hear my friends in
Sweden when they attempted 10 put
the matter before him, and, of course,
paid no attention whatever TO the fact
that I had in my possession a signed
photograph OF King Oscar, which had
been given une some time previous.
