strained was made apparent today
when she issued q statement vigor-
ously assailing the sinsincere attitude

The statement followed an exchange
Of formal statements between Mrs.

for Harry X. Thaw's mother. which
were furnished after the discontin-
uance Of the proceedings yesterday
which young Mrs. Thaw began for an
annulment Of her marriage. She de-
