More OF those stories which have
stained the memory Of the emint mt
architect. Stanford White. stories,
that parelled the tale of the Madison
Square tower room as told by Evelyn
Nesi5it Thaw were related at the lhaw
sanity hearing before Justice Mills TO-
day. They were told first by witness
es called in Harry X. Thaw's behalf
and then by Thaw himself.
Between these unsavory accounts,
like a jewel held up to view between
soiled fingers, came an illustration OF
mother love and filial affection that
brought tears even to the eyes OF
those eager faced women who had re-
fused TO leave the court room when
.warned of the kind OF testimony thar
was TO come.
Mrs. ThaW on Stand.
This was the appearance on the
stand of Mrs. Mary COpicy Thaw, the

Mr.. Carvalho testified as TO an am

made describing an alleged attempt
OF White to ruin her.
Thaw Goes Through Sordid Story.
When Thaw took the stand, Mr.. Je-
rome led him through one sOrdid story
after another, evidently with the hope
that the witness palpable eagerness
to talk en- this theme would snow
Justice Mills that he was insane on
the subject.
And Thaw was eager to tell.
He described in detail the alleged
experience Of a girl whom he SAID
White tried TO wrong when she was
