MRS. HOLMAN MAKES STATEMENT
Mother of Mrs. Harry X. ThAw Tells
of Her Attitude Toward Case.

OF her ANNlNuOe IONNtAEu OAAGs
PITrsBURG, April l6.--(copyright 1907,
by the Pittsburg Leadee Publishing Conn
pany. )-The Leader this afternoon prints a
six-column statement from Mrs. C. ]. Hol-
man, mother Of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, in
which she defends herself against the ac-
cusatlons implied against her during the
Thaw trial
She says that two nights after the night
upon which Harry Thaw shot Stanford
White she received this telegram from her
daughter:
1T is most important for you to say abb
so1utely nothing"
Until now she has remained silent and
has been forced to take the defensive be-
cause Of the attack upon her by Mr.. Del
mas in his closing address to the Thaw
jury.
She denies that she aided the district
attorney in any way and that she had been
seen by Mr.. Jerome, Mr.. Graves or Mr..
Hartridge.
Mrs. Holman then details her struggle
following the death OF her first husband
In her efforts to properly rear her two
children, and says her daughter first posed
for an artist named Storm OF Philadelphia,
who met Evelyn at a summer resort when
little girl.
Florence" she says, was In love with
the stage"
She did everything to discourage her, but
It was useless.
The story OF Florences first meeting with
Stanford White. she says, is substantially
as told by her on the witness stand.
When Florence returned she told her
mother she had met the grandest man, and
later when he. Mr. White, sent for her she
went to his once.
Mr.. White she says, warned her specih-
cally against several young men with
whom Florence had become acquainted,
but did not refer TO Thaw.
His manner. words and actions were the
personlncation OF whole-hearted, dislnter-
ested generosity, Mrs Holman says, and Il
ever a woman reposed implicit conhdencs
in a man, she says. she did in him.
Mrs. Holman then asserts that II Flor
enoe underwent the experience that is said
to have befallen her she did not take heI
into her confidence.
Concluding she says:
Had she told me what she told ths
Thaw Jury, II would not have been neces-
sary for Harry Thaw to kill STANFORD
White. I would have done It myself"
Speaking Of the European trip. Mrs. HoI
man says:
Every detail Of the trip was and is
nightmare TO me. Mr.. Thaw Joined US #
Paris. Florence and ! shared the sam'
apartments Mr.. Thaw had apartments by
himself There was no pleasure in tn,
tour for me. The things which appealed I,
Florence and Mr.. Thaw in Paris did no
appeal 70 me Florence testified that WI
quarreled frequently while in Parts, II
fact continually. The disagreements wer'
caused by my protests to visits to various
restaurants"
In closing Mrs. Holman say5;
II solemnly afhrm that my love for m!
daughter Is as deep and intense as II wal
when I first held her In my arms a help
less babe. Regardless OF all that has trans
PRED. my affection Is unaItered. The doc
Of my home Is open to her and will swim
