THE, NEMESIS OF THE
 THAW CASE

E5yd En H,A cried out in the Tombs, HSq L8 4sA the other day that he E Esys5yzSsa never has had a day of SAs@s-<-A-S-@ luck since he was mixed ly in the Thaw case. The crime for which O'Reilly was sentenced to pris- on, and which disbars him as 6 lawyer, had nothing in the world to do with the Thaw tragedy, but oReilly thinks. and many other per sons will think. it was the Nemesis of the Thaw case that worked his undo ing.
 So far the lives of 1S persons mixed up in one way 6 another in the trag- edy have been bHghted And the end is ont yet.
 Never in the history of New York was there a criminal case that gain ed the international notoriety of the Thaw trials. More lawyers were re tained, greater efforts were put forth and more money spent in the defense of the man who shot Stanford White than In any case New York has known And no criminal case has had a more remarkable aftermath
 Millions of people in this and other countries read the expurgated ac counts of the testimony and shuddered at the noisoIne details. Nobody read them without a feeling of thankful ness that they need not be mixed uI in such a horrid mess" And people there were who fed from the countr! for fear they might be called to tes tify.
 Sad Ending Of Bright Career
 The hand of Nemesis has been lait heavily upon Dan OReilly, once As sistant District Attorney of New York now sentenced 10 Q prison term o'Roily was clever man and a him ble-minded lawyer, with a fat if ques uoEable practice. He had the abil ity 10 do a lot of fancy skating or very thin legal ice. He had a wide ac quaintance iu criminal circles, ana when Thaw killed White, O'ReiIly wal one of the lawyers retained. The par he played in the defense of the mil lionaire brought him international no toriety and a lot of money. But toda! his career is ended so far as the hon orab!e regard of men is concerned He is an outcast. The Thaw case wa. not the direct cause of his undoing ret. taken in connection with the SC ries of misfortunes that have visite, 1 others connected with t, it IS no i strange If superstitious persons wal their heads slowly and say to them selves: T thought as mGch-it ha to come"
 And Of the other lawyers who ar peared in the trials, there is Clihor ! w. Hartridge. retained as persona ! counsel 10 Thaw, and who, after a st ries of domestic troubles, now is fas ing disbarment proceedings growth | out of his statements of what he di in the case. Hartridge presented bill of gigantic proportions for hi services. The bill was questioned He thereupon brought suit against tn mother Of Thaw. 4 bill Of particular ! setting forth in detail the items fc which he sought reimbursement, wa demanded Hartridge told of trips h had made seeking witnesses, of el ! cuTsions 10 various resorts entailin large expenditures, of sums of none paid out to buy the silence of certai persons in possession of knoWledg that would damage Thaw's case.
 His confessions brought upon hll the wrath and scorn and the lash ( the New York Bar asOclation. steI have been taken that will end his ci reer of law practice in this stat and elsewhere. unless the appellate q vision of the supreme court of tn State of New York is more kindly ; him than Is expected.
 The shadow of Nemesis is over Cli ford Hartridge.
