A SENSATION
BROTHER OF EVELYN SAYS HAR.
RY THAW is TO SEEK A d.
voRcE FROM HER.

NEW YORK, March 9.-There are
many rumors current of serious es-
arrangement between Harry Thaw's sis
ter and his wife, and of the reported
desire of the former to bring about
a separation OF the young couple In
the event, of verdict acquitting Thaw.
Young Howard Nesbitt, brother Of
Mrs. Thaw, is quoted as saying:
"Ths Countess of Yarmouth has
said that she will not return to Eng.
land until her brother and my sister
have been separated.
II did not know of this until my re-
turn from Pittsburg last Sunday. AS
soon as arrived here, went to the
Hotel Lorraine to warn my sister, but
Mr.. Delmas would not let me see her
alone. l did not want any Of the law
yers present while talked to her be-
cause I knew they would probably
deny it.
81 am sure that II my sister knew
of the plans which are being made
against her, she would assert herself
at once and not remain passive as she
has been so far"
1t has also been matter of com.
ment as two experts have declared
Thaw to have been insane at the time
of his marriage, the ceremony might
be declared void and annulled. Un.
der this rule, the will and codlcil in
which Mrs. Thaw is left the main nor
tion of her husbands estate are also
void.
