New Defense of Thaw.
J To-day il was said that Thaw'a de.
tense for the killing OF Stanford
White depends on tiny note which
the young Pittsburger is said to have
intercepted while il was being passed
by the architect to Mrs. Evelyn Mes
Bit Thaw at the Cafe Martin, four
hours before the shoOting in Madison
Square Roof Garden.
Witnesses for the defense will state
that Harry Thaw learned through
this note that Stanford White was
still seeking to renew his relationship
with Evelyn despite pledge hat he
would not force his attentions on tie
girl any more. 1t will be developed
that Thaw had exacted promise
from White not to annoy here with
his attention and his counsel will en-
deavor TO show that when Thaw
learned of Whites duplicity he be-
came filed with an allconsuming de-
sire TO do away with the man who, in
his opinion. was seeking out his wife
and halasslng her with his advances.
