In An Interview Slayer of Sanford
White Says Statement Is
Untrue

White Plains, n. Y, July 1.-THE
fact that Harry X Thaw while an in
mate of the Matreawan asylum, threat
ened his wifes life was brought out
at last in the hearing here yesterday
Ever since the opening of tAe present
proceedings counsel for the state has
been laboring to bring out this partic-
ular bit of testimony. The wife of
Sanford Whites slayer resisted to the
last and she was ably assisted by her
attorney but the prosecution would
not be baked.
Deputy Attorney General Clarke
asked her
Did Harry X Thaw at any time
say this to you, or this in substance.
i snail have to kill you when | get out
of here?'"
Mrs. Thaw appealed to the court
and begged Justice Mills not to make
her answer the question.
With tears In her eyes Mrs Thaw
said. Il do not want to answer that
question. II places ME in a terrible
position. My husband will refuse to
support me the minute answer il and
| will incur his everlasting enmity;
| know it. | am very much afraid to
answer 1t.
Il do not care how he has treated
me; | am still married to aim and
do not want to answer It,"
Justice Mills quietly instructed the
witness to answer and she said with
long drawn sigh: Yes, he did
What were his exact words?' de-
manded Mr. Clarke
He said, when | get out of here /
suppose l will have to kill you
why did he say that?'
1--WE were discussing HIS mental
condition. | had asked him waat he
meant and he said You know was
not crazy on the night that / shot
White, / asked him again and he
said; You know that / missed White
by two minutes on the day before "
Harry X. Thaw when asked about
his wifes testimony after court said
he was not surprised at her attitude,
but he emphatically denied that he
had ever threatened her life.
1T is very plain to every one that
her story is not true" he said. Il
never threatened to kill her. First
she says one tning and then another.
rs it true that you made an attempt
on White life on the day before the
homicide was committed?" he was
asked.
III | had, you would have learned
1t before this" replied Thaw.
