Thaw in the famous murder case in New

made the supreme sacrifice for her hus-

found and bitter secrets of her heart

had told to Thaw when he first ask
ed her to become his wife; of how the
monster. White, the author of all her
misery. had wrecked her child life. and
had logged her footsteps since her
