The Richmond palladium. (Richmond, Ind.) 1906-1907, 1907-02-10

and before risking an arrest | deter
mined TO catch White red-handed in
| his iniquity.
| Il learned that his rooms in the
tower were as Mrs. Evelyn Thaw had
! described them in the trial Two OF
| our detectives endeayored to hire
I! rooms in the same tower in order to
watch his goings and comings. The
deal was almost completed when one
| of the detectives made a bungle.
| Something which he said or did gave
| the alarm to the janitor, and although
we were on the waiting list for a long
| time, and although several times APP
| artments in the tower were vacant, we
were never able to secure a suite or a
| single room.
| Ruin of IS Year Old Girl.
81 learned positively of one case
| where White had ruined a girl only
! fifteen years old almost identically as
| Mrs Evelyn Thaw describes her own
| case, but the girl was in the chorus
of a road company, and We could not
| reach her and make a witness OF her.
We got partial evidence of other
things-things that convince me that
what Harry Thaw's wife now swears
is true. / believe in her story and
base that belief upon what | know of
the man.
1.-The last time I saw Harry Thaw
was only two or three weeks before
he shot White. He appeared to be in
a desperate state-lize a man who is
well nigh frantic. He said to me
wildly: You must keep on You
must stop this man. He must be
stopped now-at once"
Through Harry Thaw himself coun-
sci will be able to introduce in evil
dence the will. which was drawn up
by Thaw the night of his marriage
to Evelyn Nesbit. This will is
strange and remarkable document and
if spread upon the court record Will
give indisputable confederation of Ev-
elyn Nesbit's story and the plea now
offered that Thaw feared that White
would kill his wife and possibly him
self The will is alleged to make
liberal allowance for Thaw's wife,
her mother and brother, and to create
fund for the benefit and support
of other girls, mentioned by name,
whom, it is said to set forth, had
suffered from Whites villanies as
had Evelyn Nesbit.
Thaw Feared Assassination.
The will also shows that Thaw was
in fear of assassination and a part
of his estate is said to be set aside
for the prosecution of his murderer,
should he be slain.
The defense claims that the queer
document will bear out the pleas OF
justification, self-defense and insanity.
Altogether the will is a crazy look
ing document and the district attor-
ney maintains that it is not revelant.
It's chief points were declared today
to be as follows:
The trustees of the estate are au.
thorized to set aside a fund of $780,
900 to be used to prosecute the assas-
sin of the testator or the instigator of
his assassination.
That fund of 900 be set aside |
by the trustees for the care of chorus |
girls and others who were subjected !
to the same treatment at the hands of |
Stanford White as was Evelyn Mes |
bit Their names and the name of
White are specifically mentioned in |
the clause
That a fund be set aside for the |
of Howard Nesbit. brother
of the wife of the testator. a fixed |
income is allowed for the mother of
Thaws wife during her life.
The last clause in the will provides
that after all the trust funds have
been satisfied the remainder of the
estate be invested and the income
paid annually to Evelyn Nesbit Thaw,
wife of the testator.
Want Women's Apparel.
Six separate articles of women's
apparel, on the flimsy silk
of each is written with indelible ink
a name and date are, it is claimed
sought by the attorneys for Harry
Thaw. They are alleged to be in the
possession of the local police and to
have come from a locked recepticle
IN the tower Atelier of Stanford
White, having been seized when head
quarters men searched that studio
following the killing of White and
the SUBSEQUENT charges that were
made against the architect. One of
he articles wanted is said to bear
he name of Evelyn Nesbit and the
late upon which she alleges White
her ruin. They have
never been turned over to the dis
riot attorney. or so he alleges, and
10 Thaw's lawyers demand that the
police produce them. Attorney Del
mas is stated to have asked Inspector
for the wanted articles
md to have given him until Monday
o produce them. If he does not it is
asserted the court will be asked to
rider them to do so. ,
