- Noted New York Crimes =
Archie Connors Letter the Thaw Margaret Maard
Cases.

New York, Jan. 30.-Once more
New York finds herself in the throes
of sensation in which the big city
appears to delight beyond all else.
This time it is a feather-brained
young millionaire who felt at liberty
to take the law into his own hands
and to snuff out the life of another
because of real or fancied wrong.
He found, however, that the law OH
some occasions is for the rich and
poor alike, and for many weary
months he has waited in little mar
row cell in the dreary Tombs prison
for the opportunity which now has
been given him to appear before a jury
of his peers to prove that his action
was justifiable. There have been
many famous murder trials in New
York, but never before has any capt.
tai crime attracted such attention as
that which now holds the centre of
the stage. In other cases there have
been in some instances one, and some
times two or even three persons OF
wide prominence. In the present case,
however, practically every one of the
leading characters was known not
only all over their own country but in
many other countries as we'll. Harry
Kendall Thaw, the scion of one of
Americas most wealthy families, had
made name for himself, an unenvi-
able one it is true, long before he

rested for the supposed crime. She
had been induced to take part In the
affair. she said, by man WHO had held
her for many months under d strange
hypnotic influence and who could
bend her will and actions to suit any
Of his designs. Their plan had been
for her to identify anyone who was
arrested in connection with the case
and then the man was to approach the
victim and intimate that upon the
payment of certain sum of money
the girl would withdraw the charge.
That in itself was enough, but when
the floodgates opened the young wo-
man unfolded one of the strangest
series OF stories the police had, ever
heard. The most probable of these
and one which was practically borne
out by subsequent Investigation COM
pletely discredited all the stories she
had told in her previous relations with
the police. Her father is a butcher who
now and for many years has lived in
this city. The girl had trouble with
her step mother, left home and drift
ed gradually down the primrose path
until she finally brought up in one OF
the most depraved dens of vice in the
city, a hop joint" in Mott street, in
the heart of the Chinese section. There
she first met the man, who, she de-
clares, has had such q strange in
fluence over her; and from that time
until her arrest their lives had. been
as one. Under his influence she OBJ
tanned almost nuniberless positions as
housemaid and remained in each place
only long enough to gather up few
hundred dollars worth of valuables
and then disappear with her booty.
The booty later was turned into cash
by her confederate All this time the
girl was in almost constant commune
cation with the police consulting and
advising with them concerning her al
legged search for her father. Now she
tells them that her only wish is to
be free from the baneful influence of
the man whom she declares to be
the author of all her misfortune. But
the police are inclined to sift this
story pretty thoroughly before any
definite action is taken.

fired the shots which ended the life of
Stanford White in the Madison Square
Roof Garden theatre last June. His
one aim seems to have been to spend
his share of the millions piled up in
Pittsburg by his hard headed old
father in the most riotous and specta-
cular manner possible. And for
young man he succeeded pretty we'll.
His victim Stanford White, had world
wide reputation as an architect and
today there stand hundreds of giant
memorials to his genius. Another
central figure in the romantic tragedy,
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, was we'll known
on two continents as the possessor of
face and figure over which the
greatest artists of the day had raved
even before she shocked the ultra
fastidious of both continents by her
sensational runaway match with
Thaw, the Countess of Yarmouth, who
has come from her home in England
to attend the trial of her brother, and
another sister, Mrs. George Lauder
Carnegie, the wife of nephew of the
Canny Scot who rolled up a fortune
of hundreds of millions of dollars in
the Pennsylvania iron industry.
But it is not alone the prominent per-
sons who already have openly figured
in the case that has placed the "Thaw
trial. on a plane all it's own. Stories
so startling that they have as yet been

only whispered have been told in
awed tones of the doings in most ex-
elusive circles and involving the nam
es of many of the most prominent and
substantial citizens. All of these have
centured about the life of Thaw's victim
or rather that portion of his life which
became generally known only after
he had been laid low by bullet that
June night in the building which
stands as the greatest monument to
his genius. For Stanford White built
the great Madison Square Garden.
And in the tower which rises far
above the other structures in the
vicinity he reserved for himselfa suite
of rooms wherein he was wont to
while away many hours when the city
was sleeping. Strange stories are
told of midnight and early morning
revels in the apartment far up in the
tower when the hosts were White and
many of his boon companions and
their guests young women of the
Evelyn Nesbit typn. On other occa.
sions it is whispered that young girls
who spent the. daylight hours with
their school books graced the apart
ments with their presence and drank
deeply of the cup which should have
been reserved for older lips at least.
And it is said, too, that there were
many other apartments in the city
supported by Stanford Whites bounty
and shared for similar purposes by
his exclusive friends. Some of the
stories of those places and the car
ousals INDUCED in by those who fire.
quented them never will be told in
print. Should the names which have
been whispered be spoken aloud not
only the city but the entire country as
we'll would be shocked almost beyond
expression. 1t is largely due to a
belief that some of these shocking de-
tails may be unfolded and some of the
proud names exposed, that the "Thaw
trial" has attracted such marked at
tentiOn. 1t is known that for many
months all the many millions of the
Thaw family have been at the COM

Annotated Press Cable to The Evenins
London, Jan. 30:-Today was the
25Sth anniversary of the execution of
Charles l., and in accordance with
their usual custom the several branch
es Of the Legitimatist societies in
London placed, wreaths around the
equestrian statue of King Charles in
Trafalgar Square, and scores of peo-
pie stopped to read the

Though more than two and a half
centuries have elapsed since the la
mentable event took place that made
martyr of the unfortunate monarch
the mystery of the masked man who
performed the beheading remains as
much of mystery as ever. Lilly, the
lying astrologer, denounced Cornet
Joyce at the Restoration, but Joyce
on the fatal Thirtieth of January was
not in favor with Cromwell. The
parish register of Whitechapel records
the burial there in 1649 of Richard
Brandon, the common hangman, and
opposite the entry a contemporary
hand wrote that "he cut off the head
of Charles the First" Brandon him
self asserted that they made him do
1t for thirty pounds" with which he
drank himself to death. That part of
his statement relating to his death is
undoubtedly true, but no conclusive
evidence has yet come to hand to show
that he was the masked man who be-
headed Charles l.

abroad may be imagined from the fact
that one London evening paper has
two special telegraph wires in the
corridors of the court building. Scores
OF big papers in America and all the
big press associations also have spe-
cial wires in the building and several
newspapers printed hundreds of miles
from New York maintain constant tele-
phonic communication with the cor
ridors of the court house from the on

Journment. To maintain order in and
around tho building hundreds of
policemen have been detailed and
every entrance, every stairway and
door, and every foot of sidewalk for
blocks is closely guarded.
No stranger case has ever attracted
the attention of the police of New
York than that of. the girl who few
months ago as Margaret Maillard
came to them pleading for assistance
and who now, as Clare Bosse, oc-
cupies cell charged with one of the
most remarkable series of crimes in
the city's history. The girl claims
that she is an innocent victim of a
weird hypnotic influence and that 1t
was while under the spell of master
criminal mind that she accomplished
the deeds which brought her to her
present state. She has proven herself
such mistress of romance in the
past, however, that the police are in
clined to place her story on the same
footing with other wonderful tales she
has told. The girls last exploit prov
ed her undoing. When she first ap-
peared at police station here with
story of countrywide search for
her missing father, who, she said, had
disappeared suddenly and without rea-
son from his home in Muncie, Indiana,
where he was a wealthy contractor,
she was shown all the courtesy and
given all the assistance at the COM
mand of the department. For weeks
she haunted the police station, always
with no word from her missing father
until few weeks ago when she
brought telegram and the announce
ment that the missing man had return
ed home as suddenly and as mysteri-
ously as he went away. He had sent
for her, she said, and it was her in
tention to return to Indiana at once.
The next heard from her she was
found lying bound and gagged in a
small park in the Bronx. She had
been set upon by several men, she told
the police, and after being shamefully
mistreated had been robbed Of a purse
containing $26 and had been bound
and placed where she later was found.
There were some weak spots in her
story. however, and although she
identified two Italian laborers as her
assailants she was questioned and
pressed until she admitted that the
whole thing was ''hoax3, or rather
that 1t had been part Of a plan to

TEMPERANCE BODIES TO JOIN.

TEMPERANCE BODIES TO JOIN.
Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 3O.-Thirty re-
ligious denominations were represent
ed at meeting held in this city today
to confer upon the proposed fedora
ton of the temperance boards and
committees of the churches of the
country. In the proposed federation
lines of color or creed will not be con-
sidered. Later in the year it is prob
able that mammoth convention will
be held In some central city to work out
the final plans for the merger. One.
of the principal objects sought is a
uniform effort for temperance legisla-
ton at Washington and in the legis-
latures of the different states.
Some people who never recognize
a rebuff notice the slightest hint that
can be construed as an Invitation.
There is this difference: After a
woman has been married a few years
she does most of her dreaming at
night.
Lovers in the story books always
have strong arms. although their ac-
tons frequently indicate a weakness
in the head.
The trouble with having fair opin-
ion Of yourself is that you are liable
to make yourself despised by being
self-satished.

Small wonder that the soul of the girl who
watched felt one instant's regret that she was
never again to know the exhilaration of the
fray A half smile of tenderness parted her
lips as she thought that there in the air above
her were her friends and companions in arms
grim old Fighting" Bevins with his prayerful
oaths, good natured Brockton whose kindli-
ness she knew, and studious little Jenkins
whose imperturbability equaled his steadfast
bravery.
Guy, understanding and respecting the
storm of feeling which must be hers at sight
of this pageantry of which she had been such
vital part watched her in silence. Almost at
their feet squatted Fort Hancock, whose guns
were to below for the last time. 1t too, like
its fellow forts, was of the dying. Like them
its bastions would be abandoned and the men
within driven to ways of peace. Fortress and
ship, garrison and crew, would be no more.
Crumbling, untenanted walls left records of
a nations defense, and rotting uniforms rele-
gated to garrets, would be all that were left
armies reorganiZed and reduced to a police
force only, and sailors become fishermen or
passing their lives in other occupations and
reminiscing of the sea; swords rusting in scab-
bards and guns corroding in embrasures,-
nothing more!
The last salute had doomed out Lower and
lower flew the radioplanes, till they were close
above the outgoing ships. The ports of the
peacemakers opened, and from them fell gar
lands of flowers, which f1uttered down through
the air unfortunately upon the doomed
craft and the waves themselves,-a tribute of
peace from the living and wreaths for the
dying gladiators of war.
Hand in hand Norma and Guy stood upon
the headland beneath the gray beacon lights
that would welcome strange travellers from
foreign ports no more. Into the darkening
skies of the east the fleets of the nations were
speeding to dissolution and death. The long
steady swell of the free and unburdened sea
came monotonously hammering at their feet
In silence they watched the relics of cruel war
sail out saw their huls disappear, saw the
trails of smoke diverge as each squadron sought
its own course, and then looked into each
others eyes, reading therein nothing but
promise of love and serenity. Their troubles
had vanished as had those fleets of the sea-
and life with all its possibilities of accomplish
ment and contentment was before them. They
turned from the great silent ocean and walked
into the mysterious benedictory glow of the
sunset toward their home.
