Holman. mother of Evelyn Thaw, has
givea out a statement over her own sig
nature, in the Leader, in which she
occupies six columns Of the paper In
defense of her position during the trial.

night upon which Harry Thaw shot
Stanford White she received this tele-
gram from her daughter: ut is most
important for you to say absolutely
nothing" Until now she has remained
silent and has been forced to take the
defensive because Of the attack made
upon her by Mr.. Delmas in his closing
address to the jury.

attorney in any way and that she had
been seer by Jerome, Garvin or Hart

for her she went to his Office" Mr..
White, she says, warned her specif-
cally against several young men with
whom Florence had become a%cquaint-
ed, but did not refer to Thaw. His
manner. words and actions were the
personifcation of wh%ole-hearted, dis
interested generosity, Mrs. Holman
says, and If ave. q woman reposed i'm

did in him. Mrs. Holman then asserts
that If Florence underwent the expert

she did not take her into her conf

Would Have Killed White,
Had she told me what she told the
Thaw Jury, it would not have been
necessary for Harry Thaw to kill Stan
