Had Slight Attack of Tonsilitis
and Reporters had a Story.
PAPERS REPORT ALL VISITORS
Newspaper Men Keep Strict Watch
Over Murderer-crmina Courts
Men Believe Thaw Too Rich to
Atone for Crime.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-Ever since
Harry X. Thaw, the Pittsburg millio-
naire who will be brought to trial be-
fore Justice Fitzgerald on Jan. p for
having shot down Stanford White, the
architect, in Madison Square Garden
has been locked up in the tombs, re-
porters from the yellow papers in Man
haitian have done nothing but dance
attendance at the door Of the Tombs
in Center street. Every morning the
keepers and jailers of the City Prison
have been besieged by such queries as
How did Harry sleep last night p
What did he eat for his Christmas
dinner?' etc, etc.
Every automobile, every visitor that
has visited the Tombs since Thaw has
been a prisoner there has been the OBJ
ject of close survey and suspicion by
the watchful reporters, who investi-
gated the identity Of every person who
visited the young murderer and i'm
meiiately rushed to a telephone to
send the visitors record, family con-
nections and social status to their pa
pers, which invaribly printed a couple
of columns about the affair.
The latest sensation was caused yes
terday when Thaw complained that he
didn't feel quite clipper" DR.. Nc
Guire, the Tombs physician, who is
ever at the elbow of the young million
aire murderer, was at once called and
Thaw was put through a rigid ply
sical examination.
Why, you have tonsilitis, Mr.. Thaw,'
said the doctor. I'll have to prescribe
for you. Bad weather for tonsilitis
this, you know"
A moment later the reporters got
wind of the situation AMI a rush was
made for the telephones.
Hurry up, there, give me a booth.
I've got big Thaw story. Harry
Thaw is dying
A Atlantic tourist who did not
know much about ThaW asked the
other day why so much fuss was made
about a murderer. The answer was
-"Why, don't you know that Thaw is
one of the richest millonaires in Pitts
burg?'
