Said to Have Evidence Against
Young Woman.
HER HUSBAND ATTACKED HER

New York, March 10.-Mrs. Will
| liam Thaw's counsel, Franklin Bar
rett, today asserted that II divorce
proceedings between Harry and Eve
Ign are started, they will be at the
young wife's instigation. The mother
has never asked Harry to leave his
wife, but on the contrary she wishes
both to be reconciled. Barrett said:
Evelyn made up her mind long ago
to leave Thaw. She seems determined
to carry out the intention"
The Thaw family are reported to
have decided to force Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw to agree to a divorce from Harry
X. Thaw in return for the settlement
upon her of lump sum of $4,000.
The story is that Mrs. William Thaw,
Harry's mother, has, with the assist
ance OF detectives, collected a mass of
reports of the young woman's doings,
which would it is said, make evil
dence in divorce courts.
The papers are all drawn It is said,
and Mrs. William Thaw holds them
over the head of her daughter-in-law,
only waiting for her to come to terms
The young woman is feebly holding
out against the inevitable. Her al
lowance has been utterly cut off. The
last time she visited her husband in
Matteawan he sprang upon her, it is
declared, with his Dubious eyes leap
ing from his head, and choked her.
HIS mother had told him what was in
those papers and how her private de-
teetiyes had toiled for month"; To-
gather them.
