Pittsburg. April 1.-THE Pittsburg
Leader prints a siX-column statement
from Mrs. Charles J. Holman. mother
OF Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. In which she
defends herself against the accuse
tions expressed and implied against
her during the Thaw trial
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 20 take the defen-
sive because of the attack made upon
her by Mr.. Dolmas in his closing ad-
dress TO the Thaw jury.
She denies that she aided the dis
trict attorney I'm any way and that she
had been seen by Nr. Jerome. bir. Gar
van or Mr.. Hartudge.
Mrs. Holman then details her
struggles following the death OF her
first husband Ga her efforts 10 properly

daughter first posed for an artist nam

Evelyn at CrcssoG Pa. a summer re

The story OF Florcnce's first meet
ing 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 Mr.. White sent
FOR her she went to his Office.
Mr.. White. she says. warned her spe-
cihcally against several young men

she did not take her into her conf

Continuing she says: Had she told
me what she told the Thaw jury Il
would not have been necessary for
Harry Thaw TO Kill Stanford White. /
would have done 81 myself"
Speaking of the European trip. Mrs.
/ Holman says.
Every detail OF the trip was and Is
a nightmare TO me. Mr. Thaw Joined
us In Paris. Florence and / shared
! the same apartments. MT. Thaw had
apartments by himself There was no

things which appealed to Florence and
Mt. Thaw ina Paris did not appeal to
me. Florence testified that We quar-.
relied frequently while in Paris. in fact

caused by my protests at visits to var.

In closing Mrs. Holman says: q

daughter Is az deep and intense as Il

and decided on purchasing, clubbing
together 60 for the purpose. On taking
it to well known jeweler he prompt

fused and sold the necklace of purest

chased 1t for something like 100000.
