he, too, believed their task was hope
less. Thaw was remanded to the
Tombs without bail to await a second
trial on the charge of having murdered
Stanford White, the noted architect.
When this new trial would take
place no one connected with the case
could express an opinion. District At
torney Jerome declared that there
were many other persons accused OF
homicide awaiting trial, and that Thaw
would have to take his turn with the
rest. AS to a possible change of venue
both the district attorney and counsel
for Thaw declared they would make
no such move. Thaw's attorneys will
have a conference with the prisoner
to decide upon their next step. They
NAV make an early application for
bail. Mr.. Jerome said he would strenu-
ouslv aDpose it. He added that the be-
lief as seven of the jurors had voted
for guilty" his opposition probably
would be successful. In that event
Thaw has another long summer before
him in the city prison, for his case on
the already crowded criminal calendar
cannot possibly be reached until some
time next fall
The scenes attending the announce
ment by the jury of its inability tc
agree upon any sort OF verdict were
robbed of any theatricalism by the
general belief that after their long de
liberation and the reports Of wide
division of sentiment, the jurors could
have no other report than one Of dis

MRS. HOLMAN DIDN'T KNOW
Would Have Killed White Had Evelyn
Told Her of His Maltreatment.

Told Her of His Maltreatment'
Pittsburg. April 17-The Pittsburg
Leader prints a six-column statement
from Mrs. Charles J. Holman, mother
of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, in which she
defends herself against the accusa'
tions expressed and implied against
her during the Thaw trial.
The statement opens by saying that
two nights after the night upon which
Harry Thaw shot Stanford White she
received this telegram from her
daughter:
ut is most important for you to say
absolutely nothing"
Until now she has remained silent
and has been forced to take the defen-
sive because of the attack made upon
her by Mr.. Delmas in his closing ad-
dress to the Thaw jury.
She denies that she aided the dis
trict attorney in any way and that she
had been seen by Mr.. Jerome, Mr.. Gar
van or Mr.. Hartridge.
Mrs. Holman then details her
struggles following the death of her
first husband in her efforts to properly
raise her two children and says her
daughter first posed for an artist nam
ed Storm. of Philadelphia, who met
Evelyn at Cressoi. Pa, a summer re-
sort. when a little girl.
"FIorence." she said, "was in love
with the stage" She did everything
to discourage her, but it was useless.
The story of Florence's first meet
ing with Stanford White, she says, Is
substantially as told by her on the
witness stand.
When Florence returned she told
her mother she had met the grandest
man. and later when Mr.. White sent
for her she went to his Office.
Mr.. White, she says, warned her spe-
officially against several young men
with whom Florence had become ac-
ouainted but did not refer to Thaw.
His manner, words and actions were
the personification of whole hearted
disinterested generosity, Mrs. Holman
says, and if ever a woman reposed
implicit confidence in a man she says
she did
Mrs. Holman then asserts that II
Florence underwent the experience
that she is said to have befallen her,
she did not take her into her conf
dence.
Continuing she says: Had she told
me what she told the Thaw jury it
would not have been necessary for
Harry Thaw to kill Stanford White, ]
would have done it myself"
Speaking of the European trip, Mrs.
Holman says:
Every detail of the trip was and is
a nightmare to me. Mr.. Thaw Joined
us in Paris. Florence and / shared
the same apartments. Mr.. Thaw had
apartments by himself There was no
pleasure in the tour for me. The
things which appealed to Florence and
Mr.. Thaw in Paris did not appeal to
me. Florence testified that we quar-
relied frequently while in Paris, in fact,
continually. The disagreements were
caused by my protests at visits to var
fous restaurants"
In closing, Mrs. Holman says: i
solemnly affirm that my love for my
daughter is as deep and intense as it
was when 1 first held her in my arms
a helpless baby. Regardless of all
that has .transpired, my affection is
unaltered. The door of my home is
open to her and will swing wide at her
lightest tap today. tomorrow and al
ways while l live"
