The bandit seemed to know what he

Zimmerman handed out the bulky
envelope, which the robber thrust into

At this time the total number of

tend to greatly magnify the effect OF

eating the alleged debauching Of the
Chicago police department by Former
Chief of Police John NJ Collins in an
effort to bring about Former Mayor

Police Inspector John Wheeler went
before the investigating body today
and told about receiving an order
from Collins to have the men under
his charge subscribe to the campaign
fund in the interest of Dunno. The
inspector declared that while opposed
to such assessment being made, still
he felt at the time that he should obey
orders and that his men had paid into
the campaign fund over $4,000 and
that he had been criticised by his
chief because the collection was so
small.

EVELYN'S MOTHER SPEAKS

Finally Denies She Aided Jefome'S Case. Would
Have Killed White Herself Had She Known

Associated Press to Bismarck Tribune
Pittsburg, April 16-Copyright 1907,
by the Pittsburg Leader Publishing
company-The Pittsburg Leader this
afternoon prints six-column state
ment from Mrs. G. J. Holman, mother
of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, in which she
defends herself against the accusa-
tons expressed and implied against
her during the Thaw trial. u
The statement opens by saying 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 absolutely nothing.
Until now she has remained silent
and has been forced to take the de
fensive because of the attack made
upon her by Mr.. Delmas in his closing
address to the Thaw jury. She denys
that she aided the district attorney in
any way and that she had been seen
by Mr.. Jerome, Mr.. Caravan or Mr..
Hartridge. Mrs. Holman then details
her struggle following the death of her
first husband, in her efforts to proper
" raise her two children and says her
daughter first posed for Artist Neal

sort, when a little girl, Florence"

The story Of Florence's first meet
ing with Stanford White, she says, Isl
substantially as told BY her on the
witness stand. When Florence re-.
turned. she told her mother she had
met the grandest man, and later when
Mr.. White sent for her she went to-

warned her specifically against several

to Thaw. His manner, words, and
actions were the personifcation of
whole-hearted, disinterested generosi-
ty, Mrs. Holman says, and if ever
woman reposed implicit confidence in
man, she says she did. Mrs Hol-
man then asserts that If Florence jill
derwent the experiences that are said
to have befallen her, she did not take
her into her confidence Continuing
she says: ~
Had she told me what she told the
Thaw jury, it would not have been
necessary for Harry Thaw to- kill
Stanford White. / would have done
it myself" &. 5z
Speaking of the European trip, Mrs.
Holman says: Every detail for the
trip was and is a nightmare to me.
Mr.. Thaw Joined us in Paris. Florence
and I shared the same apartments.
Mr. Thaw had apartments by himself.
There was no pleasure in the tour for
me. The things which appealed to
