an Atlantic coast summer resort.
Mrs. Thomas left him last night only
on assurance by physicians that he
could be better for complete rest, and
was with him again early today.
She refused 20 talk at all today, but
from persons intimately acquainted
with the family, II is understood that
DIT. Thomas explanations have proved
satisfactory TO his wife.
Doctor Adheres to Story.
The doctor adheres 10 his story that
Misses Haas and Weissman addressed
him while he was making minor re-
pairs to his aut omobile, suggested that
they would like 90 ride with him, and
that he undertook; TO take them home,
meeting with the accident on the way.
Dr. Thomas is reported as steadily
gaining strength tYday, though there
is little hope that htl will ever be more
than a cripple. Mis!f Weissman is do
ing well, and will sot,n be able 10 leave
the hospital. Miss HsR Rs, whose leg was
amputated yesterday. rs stIll in a criti-
cal condition, ani has not more than
an even chac9e TO live.
Frank HAS, of 26S West 13lst street,
declared -Or. Thomas must answer 10
him feS the injuries OF his daughter
" N1fs. Thomas went direct 10 Fordham
Hospital, where she remained with her
husband until nearly IL o'clock.

talked for a time with the clerk, asking
particularly regarding the condition of
Miss Haas. When told that the girl
was in a criticPi condition. Mrs Thomas
said repeatedly:

am so sorry for her. hope she does
not die"
Mrs. Thomas when asked at drst
whether the fact that her husband mad
been injured while out riding with other
women would cause any domestic trou
bic said:
ct is too early to think Of such
thing as that now. All / know Is that
a horrible accident has occurred and
that my husband has been severely in
jured. 1t will be time enough to think
of other things when he is well. All
1 can think OF now or care to think Of
Is that he is very badly injured The
at the present time"
Doctors Statement.
Dr. Thomas made a statement that
he just happened to meet the girls who
seemed to know him and offered to take
them 10 their homes. This meeting oc-
CURED early in the afternoon and Mr..
Haas says that what must be explained
70 him is, why did not DR.. Thomas bring
Miss Haas home instead Of keeping her
out until after midnight and then en-
dangering her life by driving so reck-
lessly that the machine dashed into an
iron trolley pole at the corner of Je-
rome avenue and 18th street.
The statements made by the girls re-
garding their meeting with DR.. Thomas
do not agree with his report of the case
He says he did not know the young
women, while one of them says she was
introduced to the doctor several weeks
ago by Miss Haas.

survive the shock of the operation she
mas undergone. In any event Dr.

heard her story of last nights ride and
mere are many questions l will have DR..
