will be made within few days to in
duce Harry Thsw to accept an insanity
plea as his defense for the killing of
Architect Stanford White. Two weeks
from today the young Pittsburger will be
brought to trial and Mrs. Thaw, mother
of the defendant, has been advised by
United States Senator P. G. Knox, of
Pennsy lvania, and Justice McKenna, OF

plea should be entered for her son.
Mrs. Thaw was advised by friends,
according 10 Pittsburg dispatch, to

McKenns, who are old friends Of the
Thaw family. Without hesitation both
advised her that it would be best for her
son to plead insanity.

to secure bis consent TO the plea Of in
