HI NIOLA
New York, August 1s.--Almost ex-
haustcd by the heat and the great
crowds that filled the theatre. and who
followed her and surrounded her auto
mobile at the stage entrance to Ham
mersten's Victoria Theatre. Mrs.
Evelyn Thaw spent most unpleasant
day to-day. Her fears for her life
with Harry Thaw roaming at large are
still having their effect upon her. and
In speaking of the possibility OF Thaw
reaching her. she said:
1T would be possible for Harry to
get into the Victoria Theatre and fire
the shot which he feels would com
plete his mission In life"
And II. x. T. is a good shot. too"
she added.
Il know him so we'll and know his
way of doing things. First thing he
liquor. It is then that he always car
ries out what he has In mind. but what
he would not dare to accomplish in his
sober moments. This getaway Is not
an accident of the hour 1t has been
skillfully planned, and will be carried
out to the last FRAGILE edge of expert

lunatic-and God knows I ought to-
she said with tired sigh.

take advice from no one, for no human
being on earth could manage Harry

mother has had no influence with him
at all In fact she is putty In Harry's
hands.
She will do anything for him, ana
he has always depended upon this
complacency in his mother" I'm fact.
added Mrs. Thaw. Il don't think any
oody pays any attention to Mrs. Thaw's
opinions. unless Its few ministers
10 whom she gives money to run their
parishes"
Asked how she figured out that
Harry could get into New York un-
observed In order to wreak his yenre
ance upon her, she said: Harry is
great makeup artist 1 have seen him
In DISCUSSES. and he can get away if
anybody who knows him we'll does not
set look at that lunatic stare of his
eyes. They are absolutely expression
less, except wher he is making a face.
lor they stare out without particle
OF expression. He is OF height and
coloring and bearing that would make
IL easy for him to get into any sort
OF makeup without attracting the
slightest suspicion. And no is mad
enough when drinking to take n chance

me-"
Asked II she believed DR.. Flint was
In as much danger as herself provided
Thaw actually gets into the city. the
young woman said: II think DR.. Flint
| realizes the danger he is in as much
as l do. He knows how Harry feels
about him.
The more think OF the liberty al
lowed Harry 1T Matteawan-a liberty
'hat mas given him the opportunity to
escape-the more convinced / am that
New York State is no longer capable OF
taking care Of the situation, and that
his case should be handled by the Fod

possible.
mink When State shows so
clearly that 1t cannot take care OF its
criminal insane it's time n larger au-
thority should intervene for the safety
or the people. This escape is n ter

Tho moment I hear that Thaw Is
making for Europe on any ship what
soever, that moment will I cable the
nurse to take the first ship to New

Doesn't Know REASON
Asked why she believed Thaw had
such a deadly hatred for her. she
shrugged her shoulders and said:
I really do not know. Its part
of his insanity 1 suppose"
"But didn't he ever appear grateful
for what you did for him during his
trial for his life?"
Never once did he even thank me.
He didn't seem TO realize that I had
