Eighty Thousand a Yearl
The wisdom OF William Thaw has
been proved and clinched most con
cluslvely 10y the course Of events. His
theory was that his son Harry would
be more useful 20 himself and 70 soci-
ETY. as the possessor OF an income OF
$1,000 n year than as one who had
the spending OF 5000
The boys mother. however. and his
brothers and sisters took pity on him
and permitted him 20 have his full In
come. From that moment the swift
speed OF Harry x. Thaw on the In
clined plane began. He went down
like a toboggan.
Thaw's relatives sent him as n strip

trial opened hereditary insanity was
advanced as defense

But Thaw had engaged rs his lead
ing counsel Dolphin NJ. Delmas OF San
Francisco. a lawyer who had defended
a dozen or more men charged with
muroer. acquitting all of them. II Is
said. on the "unwritten law defense.
This means that he had presented to
the jury such a case as 70 convince the
twelve men that the killing was justi-
fable homicide because OF the relations
OF the slain man with the wife OF the
prisoner. Such acquittals are by no
means rare IN certain sections or the
United States. though In New York
notable precedents are lacking.
In any event. II was conceded that
under this line of defense it would be
necessary for Thaw's wife to be sub
jected 10 the humiliation OF q public
proof OF the truth OF the allegations re-
gardlng her relations with Stanford
White. 1t Is remembered that Mrs.
