Tbsw received an unusual demonstra-
t;on tonight along the Boardwalk
yben he took long ride in rolling
chair. The crowd finally became so
Great about the chair that traffic was
,rrc6e6 and Thaw was forced TO take
refuge IN a side street, from whence
he returned to his hotel in jitney
Ius.
There was plenty Of chance for peo-
ple 10 see Thaw if they wanted to, as
he spen, an active day. He went in
swimming in the surf twice, he took
several walks on the boardwalk, and
he went shopping. His attitude was
s,,s,e,+Iv an effort to be as normal
as other people He did not court at
,ert:on. and tried to avoid it once or
.v;ce but for the most part took the
.-an5 that # he would 60 about as
naturally as possible he would attract
least attention.
Tbaw received news tonight that
sr evening paper in New York had
announced that he was going TO sue
EVELYN Nesbit Thaw for divorce. lie
nrepared this written statement;
No Reconciliation, He Says.
There is nothing more TO be said
now than / said year ago-that there
can be no reconciliation. Ultimateiy
there will be a suit filed for divorce
have retained no lawyer nor made any
definite plans"
Ue would not indicate whether the
action would be started in New York or
p;ttsburgh. During the recent insanity
proceedings, there was apparent several
fines in the questions asked witnesses
nv John B. Stanchfeld, his chief coun-
sel in matters pertaining to Evelyn,
hat evidence for the action was even
.rsr I'm the making Since he is de-
c.ared sane, Thaw is competent to un-
.ertake any legal action now in his own
lehali.
His first trip abroad was in the morn
ing about o'clock, when he slipped out
alone and spent an hour shopping. His
only attendant now is Dan Dean, pri-
vate detective left with him by Norman
J. Fitzsimmons. who has charge Of his
transit from New York TO Pittsburgh.
But he goes about for the most part
withou. Dean.
When he returned from his morning
trip. which was the first ramble he has
had since he shot White, absolutely
without restraint Of one sort or an
other, he was delighted with the TACT
that he had been able to go about un-
noticed.
u walked all over and got on the
cars and took a ride and went around
as wanted, and nobody knew me ex-
cent lust one man, who recognized rue
asI came into the hotel" he SAID.
After breakfast he sent for all the
New York morning papers TO read what
they had 10 say about him. lnaw mas
become so used TO newspaper eXplolta-
tions that it has become second nature
with him TO leok upon himself as 4
subject OF news. His attitude is some
thing entirely different from egotism
or corceit. He simply takes 1t for
granted that the papers will write about
him.
Thaw Scans Editorials.
He was particularly interested to-
day in the editorials on his release. lie
noticed that several of the papers
spoke Of him as the murderer OF Stan
ford White and pointed out that that
was technically libellous, since he was
acquitted of murder. After thinking
a good deal about the editorials, he sat
down and wrote out a statement. Then
he asked his New York newspaper
friends 20 20 over it witS him. He has
accepted the correspondents from New
York as members of his party, ana
makes hardly a move without consult
ing them about it, whether II relates
20 buying d shirt or his place IN the
news.
Il won't be news after the day / get
home TO Pittsburgh" was his Judgment
Of his news value. Then you can all
90 home"
The statement he made in regard
70 the editorials was as follows:
NY refusal 10 pretend insanity nine
years ago when Unexpectedly taken
10 District Attorney Jerome's office
TWO days after my arrest, and my de-
termination to stand trial, which
caused me 70 dismiss Delafeld, my
first lawyer. on July Il, 1906, and TO
take John B. Gleason and after MN
Judge Delmas, still seems to anger a
few decadents.
81 can see no other reason for some
petty malice being displayed in print
This malice is certainly not felt by
any of the honest people ! meet
around the country. On every hand
! fnd only the greatest kindness. IL
seems very unfortunate that, simply
because | refused 70 join in the effort I
10 hush up matters after my arrest
nine years ago, some persons should .
Stn show their spite.
II don't wish TO say any more about
this. as il is disagreeable subject, /
but instead | wish to express ap-
probation Of the impartiality to be
found in the news reports ever since
from New Hampshire ! came by way
Of Boston TO New York"
Attracts Crowd at Beach.
After this he went out to swim.
Something of crowd of those watch
ing the bathers in the immediate vi
cinitv of the bathhouse he entered
gathered in front. When he saw the
crowd the proprietor suggested d way
by which he might slip out to the
water unseen.
No, that won't do any good, Ihsw
said. THE only way is TO walk rlght
out, like any one else. They VIII give
me one look and then 90 about their
business" ,.
He was more or less right about this.
