EVELYN THAW
IN STATEMENT
ACTRESS ASSERTS SHE WAS
FORCED TO FILE HER ANNULr
MENT SUIT.

New York, May %. - That the re-
lations between Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
and her husbands family are greatly
strained was made apparent when she
issued statement vigorously assail-
ing 1.-The insincere attitude assumed
toward her by Thaw's relatives since
the beginning of his trouble.
The statement followed an ex-
change of formal statements between
Mrs Thaw and Franklin Bartlett.
counsel for Harry X. Thaw's mother.
which were furnished after the dis
continuance yesterday of the proceed.
ings which young Mrs. Thaw began
for an annulment of her marriage.
Forced to File Suit.
She declared at that time that she
had practically been forced to begin
the action by pressure exerted by her
husbands relatives, and that she
withdrew her suit because she be-
lieved her husband in his present pre-
dicament merited her loyalty.
Later Mr. Bartlett, acting for Mrs.
William Thaw, denied that either he
or any of Thaw's relatives hand any-
thing to do with the institution of the
annulment suit. He said Mrs. William
Thaw desired that Evelyn Thaw be
treated not only fairly, but generously
and that at the present time she was
receiving $1,000 month.
Evelyn Replies to Bartlett.
Evelyn Thaw's reply to that state
ment, made by her counsel, Daniel
O'Reilly, follows:
I'm answer to the threatening and
and insulting statement issued by Col.
D., ~ tn, hn 0f
G. Thaw Mrs Evelyn Nesbit has this
to say: That the statement is in keep.
| ing with the insincere attitude assum-
ed toward her by Mr. Thaw's relatives
since the beginning of his troubles.
Daniel O'Reilly now reiterates that
the annulment proceedings were be-
gun at the behest, persuasion and So
| licitation of Col Bartlett and A. Rus
sell Peabody, representing the Thaw
family, and so that the question may
not be discussed further have in my
possession the undeniable proof in
the handwriting of member of the
family, and that there is so, much
proof is known to Col. Bartlett and A..
Russell Peabody.
YOUNG Woman Will Fight.
"Mrs. Thaw deprecates newspa-
per controversy, but will resent as
long as she is able such an attack as
was contained in the interview by
Col. Bartlett last night.
"There is place for the proper adj
justment of Mr.. Thaw's family affairs
but that place is not in the columns
of the daily press, Notwithstanding
that the counsel, who are harrassing
her, have at the least provocation
sought to air their views at her ex-
pense through this channel. This may
be one of the many methods to in
! f1uence her husband SO that he may
be more pliable to their desires"
