Evelyn Nesblt came back 20 this
country alone in October, 1908. STAN
ford White soon learned she was here.
Ho knew al about the trip with Thawl
and at once set about 10 make her
believe evil tales about the Pittsburg
young man. one of these was that he
was morphine fond. He sent other
people 20 her TO tell other discredltable
things. and so worked upon her that
she began 20 believe that she ought to
be protected against Thaw. who was
expected TO follow her back from Eu-
rope soon. Mr.. White took her to see
Abe Hummel who got some Of Thaw's
letters from her and after some talk
with her about her travels with Thaw,
dictated an affidavit which she says
lshe told him was full of stuff that
wasn't true. She didn't sign it, but
says she signed a paper later for Mr..
White without knowing what was in

/ Abe Hummel phaw said at once that
Mr. white was up to something crook
led. He evidently believed there was
a scheme to prosecute him for abduc-
ltion. and that Mrs Holman had put
the architect up to II.
About this time, Christmas Eve 1908,
White came TO the Madison Square
Theatre. where Evelyn Nesbit was
lplaying in "The Girl From Dixie" and
asked her 20 come to a supper party
he was giving at his apartments in
the tower, but she quarreled with him
land said she wou' dn't go. When the
show was over Harry Thaw came TO
Jthe theater in a carriage with two
friends and got Miss Nesbit and they
drove up to Hector's. A few minutes
later Mr. White arrived and when he
found Miss Nesbit had gone with Thaw
he got angry. and the doorkeeper over
heard him threaten to Kill Thaw be-
fore morning.

Harry Thaw soon heard Of this
Threat. and after that he always car

relations were other than those that
