MISS NESBIT GIVES
PUBLIC STATEMENT
Through Attorney She Says
Mrs. William Thaw Broke
Word About Settlement

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Daniel O'Reilly
gave out signed statement by Evelyn
Nesbit tonight. Her attorney said she
wrote the letter so the public would
not misunderstood the facts in her case.
The statement says:
mo sum of money has ever been set
tied upon me, either by Mr.. Thaw or
his family. Mrs william Thaw wrote,
signed and sealed an agreement to this
effect: That if 1, through my counsel,
brought about annulment proceedings
a lump sum would be given me ana an
income per year for life. In this
agreement Mrs. William Thaw pledged
her word that this money would be
paid upon the signing of the annulment
papers. No sooner were the papers
signed than she conveniently forgot
about her word The bankruptcy pro-
ceedings are merely a pretext to get
Thaw out of New York state; once he
manages to get into Pennsylvania pro-
ceedings would be brought to keep him
there. Thaw's mental condition is what
it always was. The incurable disease
was not mentioned at the trials. For
the last two months Thaw has not sun
ported me, pretending he has no money.
Yet he is able to engage numerous
lawyers, alienists and detectives. His
coke trust income alone is $50, 900 a
year"
She added:

SAYS ARREST MADE
BY JEALOUS RIVAL
Ernst de Bernardo in Jail on a
Charge Preferred by Joseph
Smith, an Auto Agent
Arrested for malicious mischief,


Jealousy" says the victim.
Strictly business insists his ac-
cuser.
This. in brief, is the embroglio in
which Ernst de Bernardo, a handsome
20 year old heir to vast Italian estate.
found himself last night. The presence
at the city prison of his pretty Is year
old sweetheart, Miss Alana Tenpant.
who stoutiy cilampioned his cause, gave
color to his version Of the story.
De Bernard who is a fine iinguist
and who is travelling in this country for
an education, was arrested shortly after
z o'clock last night in Oakland by De-
tectives Gaughran and Lord of the local
department. on warrant sworn to yes
terday. morning before Police Judge
Weller by Joseph Smith. an automobile
dealer. Smith declared last night that
De Bernardo has just returned to him a
car which he has had for six months
under contract, and that while he set
tied the rental for the machine 1t was
found to be badly in need of repairs
for which the young man refused to
pay. The charge OF malicious mischief
in damaging the car was the result.
De Bernardo told a different story.
He stated that Smith was formerly en-
gagged to Alana Tenant. who is now
living with her mother at the Pacific
Grand hotel, but that she had broken
ter engagement. She responded by ap-
coming acquainted with him. Smith.
he declares, is jealous, and therefore
the arrest.
When taken to the city prison De
Bernardo telephoned at once to his
sweetheart. with whom he had thea
ter appointment. She responded by ap-
pearing at the city prison and sum
moning mutual friend. Edward Foley
Foley retained the services of Attorney
Robert Lyons, who induced Judge Wei
Ter to reduce De Bernardi's bail from
$500 to $3.50 and secured his freedom.
Lyons will communicate today with At
torney G. F. Cowan OF Santa Rosa, who

HITCHCOCK DELAYS
WHITE HOUSE VISIT
Postpones Interview With the
President Until Severe Criti-
cism Blows Over

WASHINGTON. Oct. S.--Chairnan
Hitchcock will come to Washington to
see the president in a few days. He will
not come immediately. on account OF
the severe criticism recently appearing
in the press. His appearance at the
White House would give too much
color to the report that the president
had sent for Hitchcock to rake him
over the Goals. But as soon as the talk
has subsidized. Hitchcock will show up
and make his report. ~
The White, HOUSE, depreciates the
criticism OF Hitchcock and prefers to
have il understood that everything is
lovely In national headquarters. But
the evidence is strong that the presi-
dent Is not at all satisfied with the
failure to get results. Hitchcock will
be called upon to inject vigor into the
campaign, either by his own efforts or
by permitting others to do it.
The president tells his visitors that 1t
is not his present intention to take the
stump. But he has not abandoned the
idea by any means, and If the cam
paign should shape itself SO as to re-
quire 1t, he will make stumping tour
across the continent. Hundreds of let
ters and kilograms arrive daily urging
him to go before the people personally.
Many of his friends suggest that he
and Taft should appear together on the
stump.

win of any desire or intention on his
part to wed Edna Goodrich. the beau
tiful actress whose engagement to J..
Harry Mcmillan was recently broken
off and who has been credited with hav-
ing come between Goodwin and Maxine
Elliott, the announcement OF Goodwin,s
marriage to Miss Goodrich may be ex-
peeted in the near future
While seoffing at the rumors of the
attachment between himself and Edna
Goodrich, 1t Is known that eupperlnost
in Goodwin's mind is the thought of the
one time Florodora girl, and there can
be little question but that his divorce
from Maxine Elliott was secured with
the end in view OF claiming the fair
Edna, as his wife. s 4
When last in London Goodwin in
the presence of some well known Eng
lishmen and a number of Californians.
openly admitted his infatuation for
Miss Goodrich and submitted to good
natured chatting concerning such an
attachment. 1t is known by Goodwin's
close friends in this city that Miss Good
rich was one of the first to be ap-
prised Of his divorce from Maxine Ell
lott, and that he has been in corre-
spondence with her since then, al
though the divorce is but a few days
old.
Under the laws of Nevada Goedwin's
divorce is absolute and he is free to
marry again at any time. He is stili
in San Francisco, but it is no secret
among his friends that his heart Is in
London, where Miss Goodrich is now
stopping. nor would it be, a surprise to
them should Goodwin leave for~the east
and sail for England within few
weeks.
In the meantime Goodwin still denies.
