/ ing thought was that he might lose
her. and that Stanford White was
constant menace to his home. Horror
never left him. Evelyn. in her testi-
mony. says that Mr. Thaw would
| wake in the middle of the night and
/ found him sobbing and biting his nails
He was constantly asking me CUES
tons. and this happened several times
in the night
you must remember that one by one
/ Harry Thaw had learned specific sto-
ries of other victims of this man. She
had told him the story White had told
her about the girl in the pie.
/ Delmas read Evelyn's testimony re-
lating TO the pie incident and what
| Thaw told her about it. as well as what
! she told him about it. He also read
the testimony regarding what Thaw
told her of the other girls who, he said,
! were the victims of White. ThaW had
told her that White ought TO be in the
i penitentiary as he was a dangerous
man and was doing untold harm in the
community.
In support of his contention that Thaw
took a sincere interest in the welfare
/ of the girls whom he believed to have
/ been WrOnged by White. Mr.. Delmas
produced the codicil in which Thaw
set aside thousands of dollars 10 vim
dictate and redeem and rescue from a
! life of infamy the various victims of
J Stanford White.
Waving the document dramatically
| before the jury, Delmas pictured the
drafting Of it upon the very night when
/ Thaw found all his hopes realized in
the ceremony which made Evelyn his
wife. On that same night. Mr.. Delmas
argued, Thaw's thoughts drifted back
/ to the time when his wife was wronged
| by Stanford White, and thinking of
the other girls ruined and degraded by
/ the same person, he sat down and
i added the cOdicil TO his will.
And Stanford White thought he
would play with this child, now the wife
[ of Mr.. ThaW, in the same manner, and
in the end cast her off like dirty rag
to float her way down LIES sewers into
a paupers grave. These We're the
/ thoughts that came over him and new
| er left him. We admire the chivalry
! of the knights Of the Middle Ages who
| went about redressing wrongs and res
cuing maidens in distress. Why should
we withhold our sympathy from this
| brave man who was anxious to take
part in the rescue of young girls in this
City?
Tried to Save Others.

ton of Stanford White did not end
even with the provisions Of the will and
! CCdicil So deer was the impression on
! his mind, so overwhelming was the i'm
! pulse, that he had in the early part of
! 1906. written a letter to Anthony Com

! believed the morals of this community
had been placed. telling of Stanford

! where they enticed young girls and
ruined them. He called upon the dis

| here trying to take this mans life. de-
handing that he cleanse the city of this
| leprous sore. He went to the principal
detective agency that they might ferret
out the facts, that this man might be
/ sent TO prison where he belonged. but
again he was bsffled. He did not lose
| courage. He battled on.
And when he told his brave little
wife about his efforts, she, better in
! formed than he was as TO the power of
| these people, told him that they were
| too rich and powerful for him and that
he would never succeed, that they had
friends who would stop anything he
tried to do.
Meeting With Stanford White.
1T was with such thoughts in his
mind. Waging a battle for American
WOmanhOOd and humanity. and baffled
! by wealth and social position. that
/ Harry Thaw met Stanford White in
1 1906.
! You remember the incident at Days
/ theatre when Harry ThaV and his wife
/ and a friend sat in a box and Stanford
/ White came into box opposite them.
/ When Harry looked into those eyes

those eyes into which so many girls

Stanford White. l think he had a fit

nails and carried on like that for fifteen
/ minutes. He mOaned, clenched his
hands, but his agitation showed mostly

This condition DeImas attributed TO

Sight Drove Him Mad.
/ Mr.. Delmas read that part of Eve
| lyn's testimony where she stated that
| she believed that Thaw was crazy
about Stanford White, and that all his
! friends held the same opinion.
And it was true. The man who had
broOded on this subject for three years,
who had pictures of dreadful horrors
haunting him by day and night. could
not be human to retain the calmness
of his reason. Gentlemen, place your
selves in his place; picture to your
selves the horrors he went through and
do justice to Harry Thaw."
1t was 1880 o'clock and Mr.. Delmas
announced that it would be impossible
for him to conclude by the usual recess
time, and asked that recess be taken
until o'clock.
Following the recess, Mr.. Delmas
brought the narrative of his arguments
down to the events of the night of the
tragedy, how Stanford White came
into the room of the cafe where the
Thaws were dining, how Mrs. Thaw
wrote a note TO her husband saying,
THE b. was here a moment, but went
out again." and how Thaw and his par
ty then went to the roof garden pick
ing up on the way another friend who
occupied one of the seats, leaving Mr.
ThaW without a seat, and how he found
