Of the different proceedings in court in
which her son has been involved.
She makes an attack on District At.
torney Jerome and criticises insanity
experts.
The pamphlet contains twenty
pages. The title is "The Secret Un-
veiled." The following are interest.
ing extracts:
II shall reveal certain facts that

ness shown my son before and since
his trial and acquittal.

bination made up Of men Of profes.
sional standing. together with disap.
pointed blackmailers. perjurers and
others. working In the interest Of tho
very rich companions Of Stanford
White to prevent a trial. which they
feared would result in exposure.
"They set to work to blacken the
reputation of my son. an average
young man with chivalrous nature
as shown by his attempt to break ur
disreputable places. Then something
never before known In any trial. the
entire family. living and dead. was at.
tackled by slanderous falsehoods. The
influence at that time was tremendous

The Alleged Delusions.
"They pretended that my son had
delusions regarding those three in.
famous dens used by Stanford White
and his companions and their disgust
ing orgies.
Jerome In his speech to the last
Jury was Unexpectedly moved to re-
veal the truth. He admitted all Fl. X.
Thaw and Anthony Comstock had stat.
ed was true. and himself added
charges in terms more severe than
any they had used"
Mrs. Thaw then quotes from the late
Colonel Franklin Bartlstts argument
before the appellate division in refer.
ence to Judge Dowling's commitment
Of Thaw to Matteawan asylum for the
safety OF the public. and says:
"The opinion OF Justice Bowling was
based upon the testimony OF one OF
the most unreliable witnesses in the
case. whose testimony was afterward
riddled by the carefully verified testi.
mony of Rev. Professor Christie. OF
