EVEl YIN May HAVE URGED
THAW TO MURDER WHITE
Craiq WadswOrth, U. S. Attachee in London,
Writes Jerome That Thaw Was Completely Un-
der influence Of Evelyn While They We're
travelling together in LOndOn--Letter May Throw
Entirely New Light on the Tragedy

during the last few years has ever had
any other opinion than that he is in
sane. His strange actions were usual
ly attributed to drug addiction, and
they were usually commented upon as
such. 1t is now understood, however
that the insane streak was always
there. and the killing OF Stanford
White, through it's sheer causelessness
at the time, could hardly have been
other than an insane act.
What apparently is not understood
is that the desire Of Thaw to kill stan
ford White was no greater on the 25th
of last June than It was in 1902, when
he first strove to possess himself of
Evelyn Nesbit, but the slight bulwarl
OF will power that had acted as re-
straining force i'm 1902 and 1903 had
worn away completely in 1906. and al
though there was no direct and incit-
ing cause for a killing at that time,
the old desire had its fling when the
bonds Of sane fear Of the results be-
camo broken.
DR.. Evans was on the stand all day
yesterday and Is likely to remain all
day Monday It was noted that Dis
.trict Attorney Jeromes efforts result
ed largely in forcing from him admis-
sions that tend to show Thaw to be
mentally incapable Of appreciating his
condition at this time.
