FOR SECOND TRIAL.
Evelyn Thaw Will Repeat Story Told
NJ First Trial. and Same Rattle Of
Experts VIII Follow-Task OF Sc.
curing Jury.

Harry X. Thaw will be called a sec
ond time before a jury to make his
defense to the charge Of having MUIR
dered Stanford White. There have
been several postponements Of the
date OF the second hearing Of this not.
ed case, but II is said now there will
be no further delay. 1t Is announced
that Mrs. william Thaw, mother OF
the defendant. is expected In the city
by next Saturday.
Mrs. Thaw has been in poor health,
1t Is said, but believes she will be able
to come to be with her son during the
opening hours OF his second fight for
life and freedom. Other members OF
the family circle. including Mrs.
George Carnegie. Harry Thaw's sister,
and Josiah and Edward Thaw, his
brothers. are also expected to reach
the city during the week. The coun-
tess OF Yarmouth. the defendants sis
ter, is at present in England and Is
not expected to attend the second
trial. Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, who
has been a daily visitor at the Tombs
ever since the first Thaw jury dis
agreed, a " recently when she was i'll
for a few days, will. of course, be one
of the first arrivals In the court room

There have been many rumors as to
the plans for the defense for the sec
ond hearing of the case, and II has
been predicted thar an entirely new
line Of action might be followed. 1t
can be authoritatively stated, however.
that the defense will again be the
same, that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw will
again relate her story to the jury and
that an imposing array Of expert
alienists will again undertake to estab-
fish the theory that Thaw was insane
at the time he killed Stamford White
in the Madison Square roof garden.
but has SO far w his mental
balance since that time as to be no
longer a menace to the community,
and therefore is entitled to freedom.
