His Explanation of How He Came to
Kill Stanford White.
HAD MISSION TO SAVE GIRLS
Witness Gives in Detail Remarkable
Convers; tions He Had With the
Alleged Murderer.
HAD MISSION TO SAVE GIRLS

Harry X. Thaw's own version of
how he came to kill Stanford White
was given to the jury today at his
trial before Justice Fitzgerald in the
criminal branch OF the supreme
court.
The story was told by way of
declaration made by Thaw to two
insanity experts who saw him in the
Tombs. These declarations were
confined to the first three visits the
experts made, on which occasions,
they had admitted, they found the
prisoner to be of unsound mind.
Thaw told the experts he believed
that it was his duty to expose what
he considered the criminal methods
of Stanford White. AT the sight of
White on the roof garden, according
to Thaw's words to the expert,
Providence took the matter out of
my hands and removed Stanford
White"

NEW YORK. February 1S-The trial of
Harry X. Thaw was resumed today before
Justice Fitzgerald. Juror Bolton whose wife
died last Thursday, was again in his place,
and the indications now are that the trial
will go ahead as rapidly as both defense
and prosecution can push it. The jury will
not again be kept together until it begins
the consideration of a verdict.
Drs. B. D. Evans and Charles G. Wagner,
two of the alienists representing the de-
Tense. were on the witness stand today and
continued to give the reasons on which they
based their conclusions that Thaw, at the
time he killed Stanford White, and for sew
eral months. subsequent to the homicide
was of unsound mind.
- 1t was testified that Thaw told the doctors
he had not intended to kill Stanford White
but had sought to have him brought to JUS
tice in a court of law. He accused White of
seeking TO destroy the virtue of every
woman with whom he came in contact;
declared he had poisoned and drugged many
innocent young girls.

Why He Did It.

IF you had no desire or thought of killing
White, why did you do it?'
DIR. Evans said he put this question to
Thaw in the Tombs, and the prisoner re-
piled:
Providence stepped in and took charge;
1t was an act of providence"
DIR. Wagner said Thaw had told him that
it was his Crhaw') province to protect
young girls and lead them In moral paths.
Dolphin VI. Delmas was again today in
command for the defense, and all the six
lawyers who have appeared in the case
since the beginning of the trial were In their
accustomed places at the defendants coun-
sci table.
1t is said District Attorney Jerome will no
longer oppose the introduction of Harry
Thaw's will in evidence
The defendant today seemed to be in the
best of spirits and the let-up in the trial
since last Thursday seemed to have bene-
fitted him physically.

Why He Carried a Pistol.

ct asked him why he had carried pistol.
and he said Roger OMara, an independent
detective in Pittsburg, had advised him to
do so after he had told O'Mara that on sew
eral occasions thugs had jostled him in an
attempt to get him into a quarrel and
street brawl. He said these thugs were the
hired agents of Stanford WHITE who did
not want TO Jake the responsibility and
danger of making a personal attack. He
said White had hired the Monk Eastman
gang TO get him into quarrel and then
beat or kick him to DEATH"
The witness next went into a description
of bis third visit to Thaw on September 10.
He was accompanied by DR.. Wagner and
Mr.. Hartridge Thaw came into the room
again carrying the pasteboard box full of
papers. Mr.. Hartridge had tried to induce
him to give up the papers. Thaw said the
papers had to be looked after at once He
