Mrs. Tacot agreed, and on Tuesday
afternoon, accompanied by a negro
valet also a friend OF Maloney, the
mysterious West was taken to the
West Philadelphia residence. That
same afternoon Philadelphia detec-
tiyes, who were looking for Harry
Thaw with a New York warrant, went
to the Bellevue-Stratford.
They could not ind his name on the
register, because, during the period
that he was stopping at the hotel,
Thaw had gone under the name OF
johnson" However, the detectives
did pick up on Broad street oliver A.
Bower. said to have been a compan-
ion of Thaw. In his possession they
found copies of the Dear Master
letter which is said to have been
written by Thaw for Young Gump's
signature.
Makes Friends with Household.
While Captain Tate's men were con-
tinuing their vain search for Thaw,
he was installed in the West Philadel-
phia home, and, with his affability,
was getting on good terms with the
members of the household. The Sec
ond floor of the Tacot home is occu-
pied by a married couple with a little
child. Thaw seemed deeply interested
in the baby and played with 1t.
Thaw did not rest. Instead. he con-
tinued the spree which he had begun
a number of days before. Several
times he left the home of Mrs. Tacot,
slipped away and visited numerous
saloons in the neighborhood OF Fifty
second and Walnut streets.
after Thaw had been taken to the
Walnut street house, Bernard Will
Jams, a chauffeur, met Thaw in the
saloon of James Goodwin, Fifty-sec-
ond and Ludlow streets. He was talk
ing with a companion about Pitts

versation, and in q few minutes was
buying drinks for Williams.

hearing. Attorney Stone, in Pitts

ant Governor Stanchfeld, the Thaw

asked him to notify District Attorney

Friends to Make Fight.
DR.. Walter RiddeII, Of the Mellon
Institute Of Pittsburgh, and Frank
Johnston, a New York friend of the
family, are here today, prepared to
assist in both battles. 1t is probable,
the police say, that Thaw Will not

will wage his fight in New York.
Samuel G. Maloney. a detective at
tached to the Val OFarreIl agency,
who has been guarding Thaw here
since Monday and took him to the
house in West Philadelphia, gave first
intimatlon of what this fight will be
based upon. He branded Frederick
Gump's story of being logged in the
NcAlpin Hotel, New York, as false and

QulEsed ut Headquarters.
Both Maloney and O'FarreI were
taken to detective headquarters late
last night and quizzed by Captain
I Tate for fully an hour They were
asked to explain why they had per-
1nitted Thaw to remain in the city I'M

causing his arrest. When it was ex-
planned that Maloney was to take

is shown by the fact that he did not

Learned Of Charges Tuesday.
Thaw first learned that he was
wanted in New York on the Gump
charges early Tuesday morning, when
sam Maloney, manager of the Val
oFarrell Detective Agency, in this
city, routed him out of bed at the
Bellevue-Stratford. The O'Farrel1
agency has been retained by the Thaw
family for g. long time, and MaIoney
was in New York when he was told of
the assault and kidnapping case. He
hurried to Philadelphia, and at
o'clock in the morning explained the
situation to Thaw.
I'VE have telephoned your mothers

cided that you must not attempt to
escape. We agree with him; you must

Thaw agreed. He was in a hazy
