ENTERED UPON A CAMPAIGN,

OF STANFORD WHITE.

New York, March "a game of
hide and seek played on a large scale
was the last development tonight of
the trial of Harry K. Thaw for the
murder of Stanford White Two
score men were the players in this
game and the object of the pursued
was to avoid summons to court next
week as witnesses in the noted case
Late this afternoon a score of SUBJ
poena servers were sent out by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome in the search
for new witnesses, pursuant to a
change of plans on the part of the dis
trict attorney. The process servers
were instructed to find every person
whose name was whispered to District
Attorney Jerome by Eevlyn Nesbit
Thaw during the long days she was on
the stand, if they are now in the juris-
diction of the court. News of this
move by the district attorney became
noised abroad, and there was an exc
dus from the city of men whose names
appear on the records of the case, al
though they have not been made pub
lie, to avoid being served. Some
sought refuge by retreat from their
homes and keeping away from their
usual haunts. One by one, the per-
sons sought, were hunted down, how
ever, until all but few of those
wanted by the district attorney, had
been subpoenaed 1t was only with
the greatest difficulty, however. that
some of the subpoenas were served.
1t is known now that Jerome's pur-
poses to delve deep into Evelyn
Thaw's testimony and il possible
show up many points in which story
deviated from the truth, men and wo-
men who fere mentioned by Evelyn
Thaw as participants in some of the
revels OF her fast life, her testimony
will be asked to tell their side of the
stories related by Evelyn, with view
of discrediting her.
Jerome received another message
from Craig Wadsworth, second secre-
tary of the American embassy in Lon
don, which is said to contain some
startling revelations about Thaw. his
wife and Mrs. Holman. Evelyn's moth |
err. during the memorable visit to Lon
don in 1908. Wadsworth, it is stated, |
furnished the district attorney with |
much valuable information. Subpoe- |
I'D servers were IusAc0 Oubr iof1o"AhS
the receipt of the message to serve |
several persons mentioned by Wads- !
worth as likely to be able to furnish |
information as to the Thaws.
Harry Thaw today was greatly agi- |
lated by the publication in local
paper of a story that his sister, the
Countess Of Yarmouth is determined /
o separate him from his young wife /
before she returns to England. Thaw,
after reading the story. dictated /
statement which he gave TO the news
papers. In this he SAYS in part: 4
want 10 deny as emphatically as posi-
lie the published reports that my Sis
er. the Countess of Yarmouth. is de-
'irous of bringing about separation
between my wife and me at the con-
fusion OF the trial. Perfect harmo-
II exists between my wife, my sister
nd myself, and. indeed. between all
he members OF my family. Such q
