girl who invariably accompanies Mrs.
Evelyn Thaw and sits by her during
the session OF the court. Miss Nc.

made the first step to placate her
mother-in-law and sister-in-law and
that MIR. Delmas only consented to
try to smooth over their misunder-
standings on the agreement that
Miss Mckenzie should discontinue

What MIR. Peabody Says.
larry Thaw is said to have dis
cusscd this matter with a. Russell
Peabody, of his counsel, when MIR.
Peabody visited him IN the Tombs
prison today Afterward MIR. Pea
body said. Il don't believe that
Mr.. Delmas knows that Miss Nc
kenzie Is in the court room. He
is there to work and don't believe
lie gives the woman thought.
EARLY last summer when Eve
lyn Thaw was practically alone,

of the time. 1t is only natural 10
suppose that Mrs. Thaw wants to
have Miss Mckenzie with her now,

He was then asked to state wheth.
or there is any truth in the stories
that Thaw has received many threat
ening letters since he has been In
the Tombs,
II want to talk to the counsel
about this matter before | say
anything about It, 1t is possible
that may have something to say
later" said Mr.. Peabody.
Jurore Practically Prisoners,
The Jurors were kept under close
surveillance at their hotel today.
The wives of two them called last
night but their guards only per.
mitted conversations in the presence
of another Juror and> themselves.
Mr.. Peabody said that Miss Nc
Kenzie had proved herself one of
the best friends Mrs. Evelyn Thaw
ever had and that she took care o..
Mrs. Thaw last summer when the
young woman was suffering agony
greater than that borne by any
woman in New York" and has been
devoted ever since.
Reported Reason for Shooting
One of the reports In circulation
today dealing with Thaw's motive
for shooting Stanford White was to
the effect that the night before the
snool ns, Thew called on White and.
exacied from him promise that
lie you'd never try to communicate
with Evelyn Thaw again. 1t was
also reported that while at dinner
IN the Cafe Martin four hours before
the tragedy, Thaw intercepted note
from White asking Mrs. Thaw to
meet him.
