THAM,s DEFENSE.

That Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's affair with
Stanford White had once made her re-
fuse to marry Harry X. Thaw; that the
unwritteD law will be stretched to cover
40 incident previous to the marriage Of
the artist mod j and the young million
aire, and that this knowledge and the
supposed taunting and harassing atten
tions Of White to Mr. and Mira Thaw
will lie lhe defeuse was the sensational
feature OF yesterday in the Thsw trial,
Insanity will be the formal and legal
defense, but behind this will be not only
the "higher" law, but new and daring
application Of it by the oratorical De
mas, in that it applies to an event in the
life ofthe beautiful yonng wife before she
was msried Since Thaw shot White on
the root garden, and during AL the talk
of the uuwrilten law. it has never de-
geloped until now whether the alleged
