TELLS A GREENSBORO STORY
If True 1t Stamps White as a Villain
OF Villains.


Then came the relation of the wreck
of that girlhood at 16 years of age.
1t was the story of her meeting with
Stanford White, the story of the sump-
tuous studio apartment, whose dingy
exterior gave no hint of the luxurious
furnishings within; of a velvet covered
swing in which one could swing IN
til slippered toes crashed through the
paper Of a Japanese parasol swung
from the ceiling. the story Of a glass
of champagne, Of black, whirling sen
sations, and of mirrored bed room
walls. In short, she told all the story

And this was Stanford White?'
The question came from Dolphin NJ
Delmas, now conducting the defense Of
Harry Thaw.
Yes, sir"
The stiffness OF the crowd which was
big, bustling, showing and snarling
over some especially coveted seat when
court convened, was it's own t.i1ute
to the effect of the girls story. She
told Of her arrival at New York, Of her
life here and eventually the acceptance
by her mother of the thrice-refused in
vitation of girl of the theater to meet
some of her friends at luncheon. The
girls mother told Evelyn's mother that
they were people in New York society,
and perfectly proper, else she would
not have let her girl go with them.

HEARD STORIES OF THAW
They Were Told Her by Friends of
Stanford White.

The letters which eventually were
offered in evidence after much object |
ing by Jerome, and a flood of argu-
ment by opposing counsel during the
afternoon sitting Of the court, are re-
garded as corroborative Of Mrs. Thaw's
testimony, which she often declared,
in response to objections offered from
time to time by the district attorney,
was a repetition of the reasons she had
given Thaw for refusing to become his
wife. The letters were written by
Thaw to Longfellow as his attorney.
They told of his coming marriage with
Miss Nesbit and of the row they want
to raise" Disconnected and jerky,
jumping from subject to subject, they
nevertheless breathe the love he bore
the girl, and he wanted among other
things that provision should be made
that in the event of his death all his
property should go to her.
The letters constantly refer to that
backyard who poisoned her as
girl" and say that her name was false
~ connected with two others besides
that blackguard." In testifying Mrs.
| Thaw was not allowed to state the
names Of certain persons, but by con-
sent of counsel for the defense she gave
them in whispers to Jerome I'm order"
as Delmas said that the prosecution
may have the fullest possible oppor-
tunity to refute any of her statements
If he can
Mrs. Thaw, resuming, told of how
/ she came back from Europe a month
/ ahead Of Thaw. During that month
friends Of Stanford White had told her
many stories about the young Pitts
4 burg millionaire, and when he returned
/ to the United States she refused to see
him except in the presence of a third
person. When he asked her why she
acted so she tolc the stories. One
was that Thaw had put girl into a
bath tub and turned scalding water
upon her. Another was that he was adj
dicted to the use of morphine, and a
third declared that he had tied girls
TO bed posts and beaten them.

HE SLICED OFF AN EAR
Did 1t with a Red-Hot Poker, and
Now the Injured Man Wants
$4,000 Damages.

Frankfort, Ind, Feb. 8. - A few
days ago at Middlefork, Joseph White
man and Martin V Unger, well-known

Elected Chairman of Life Insurance
Presidents.

New York (Special) = Grover
Cleveland, former president of the
United States, was elected chairman
of the Association of Life Insurance
Presidents at meeting of the execu-
tive committee of that organization
in this city. Mr. Cleveland's election
was unanimoIs, and he has accepted
the position.
The Association of Life Insurance
Presidents, which recently was or
ganized, is composed of the execu-
tives of the principal life insurance
companies of this country. The OBJ
ject of the organization is to CO.
operate for all kinds of reform,
which, the members claim, will in
crease dividends to policyholders.
Mr.. Cleveland also will act as chief
counsel for the association. In ad
dition to these duties, Mr.. Cleveland
will act as referee in cases of dispute
between the companies. For these
services he will receive from the as
sociation the salary of $25 900 a
year.
It was announced that Mr.. Cleve-
land will remain trustee of the
majority stock of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society, but for these SER
vices he will receive 10 compensa-
tion from any source.
The position of secretary of the as
sociation has been rendered to J. V.
Barry, at present state superintend-
ent of insurance of Michigan 1t is
believed that he will accept. The
duties of the Office of secretary are
actively to represent the association

side of all questions, from AN asso-
citation point of view.

EDWARD NIPPLE
KILLS HIMSELF
Second Suicide in a Philadelphia
Family.
HIS BROTHER WRECKED A BANK.
Worry Over Frank Nipples Part in
the Looting of the Real Estate
Trust Company Said to Be Probable
Cause of His Taking His Life-Was
Prominent in Chur h Work.

Philadelphia (SpeciaD. - Edward
P. Nipple, brother of the late Frank
K. Hppile, who ended his life last
summer after wrecking the Real Es-
tate Trust Company, of this city, of
which he was the president, COM
mitted suicide at his home here with
a revolver.
Mr.. Nipples family was at break
fast when he committed the deed.
His wife heard an unusual noise, and
sending her sons upstairs to investi-
gate they found the father in his
bedroom with bullet wound in his
head. He was hurried to hospital,
but died on the way. He was about
estate business.
At the time of the suicide of his
brother Frank and the subsequent
failure of the trust company Edward
Nipple owed his brother large sum
of money upon mortgages. These
mortgages were recently foreclosed
and the procedes from their sale
were turned over to the Real Estate
Trust Company under the reorgapi-
zation plan.
one OF Mr.. Hipple's sons SAID that
his father worried great deal over
Frank Nipples part in the trust COM
pany failure, but he did not think
he was in any way involved in that
crash.
Like his brother, Edward Nipple
was very active in church work and
was we'll known in church circles.
He was superintendent of the Sun
day School of Oxford Presbyterian
Church and treasurer of the church.
He was also president of the Quaker
City Baking Company.
Mr.. Nipples widow survives him
and the following children: Kate,
the oldest; May, who married Stephen
Ferguson, son of the late Judge
Ferguson; two sons edward P.
Nipple, Jr., who lived at the family
home, and Frank Elwood Nipple,
who about three months ago married
Miss Lucy Kern)
The Nipple residence is located at
the southwest corner of Thirteenth
and Norris Streets. 1t is big brick
mansion with front of brown stone,
with front bay windows.
