WANTS DUMB-BELLS -———— D ————. Millionaire Murderer in Prison Pen. WIFE TO TELL HER LIFE STORY In New York Criminal Court yesterday Harry Thaw pleaded not guilty to the charge of murdering: Mr. White, and there the matter rests until the trial cornea on, pro- bably in October, when emotional insanity will be the -iefence offered. It is not con- tended Thaw is insane now, but his lawyers will argue that their client, aroused to anger against the man who wronged his wife, gave way to a temporary fit of madness, and in that state of mind mturdered him. Thaw was brought into court with 25 other prisoners and next to a negro. He spent half I an hour in a sweltering: prison pen awaiting I the opening of the court. I Mrs. Thaw was not present. The young mil- lionaire was carefuHy dressed, and seemed perfectly at ease. He has aelred to have Indian clubs, dumb- bells, and a punching: bag in his cell for I exercise. Mrs. Thaw is suffering from the strain; she fainted after visiting her husband I yesterday. Disclosures regarding White's private record are still adundant, and they involve the j names of men prominent in New York society, braid-as the deceased (says the "Daily Teleg:-ap'h's" correspondent). On Friday, one current referred to a civil action brought against Tham by Miss Evelyn Netfbit before he married her. This suit was settled by Thaw, a;fter he had signed a state- ment which was very disagreeable to him. It Is said that White declared that he dictated the statement before it was presented for Thaw's signature. It is stated the defence will call Mrs. Thaw as a witness, and that an opportunity will be given for describing her flat meeting with Mr. White when she was sixteen years old. She will be asked about the statement that Mr. White drugged her, and then accom- plished her ruin. Thaw is said to harve first learned this after his marriage, and it maddened him. Mrs. Thaw is said to realise that in cross- examination she will be compelled to reveal incidents in her life as an artist's model and a chorus girl. relations with Miss Nesbit Thaw's own relations with Miss Neebit before marriage and the delay in vengeance on White will prove stumbling Mocks to the defence. Some of poop-le (says ttoe "Telegraph" correspondent) have suddenly discovered that the climate of New York is exceedingly trying, and have departed unannounced for their provincial homes. Sent to His Fate. I Mr. Lionel Lawrence, stage manager for "Mam'zello Champagne" on the Madison- square Garden Roof, declared yesterday that if he had not been worried by the duties incidental to the first night of the piece, Mr. White proba.bly would not have taken a. seat in the audience, and th-atconsequently Ivlr. thaw would not have seen him and killed him. White (says Mr. Lawrence) wanted to be in troduoed to one of the singers. Lawrence said be had no time. White persisted, and then I exclaimed" (continued Lawrence) Mr. White, you are a first-nighter, and you must realise how rushed J am. You have been here often enough at rehearsals to meet anybody you wished. You must get away from behind the scenes now, and give us a chance to work." I sent him out in front, and soon after, when I started out to see the effect of the dance, I heard a. shot, and turned to see two others fired by Mr. Thaw, and Mr. White fall forward in his chair. Thaw, in prison, exercises with other sus- pects, takes simple food, which h-e seems to enjoy heartily, and stands in the queue waiting for the prison barber. He is now allowed half a bottle of claret daily, and can smoke as much as he likes. R> lawyers Bay he insists upon putting the cuo-e in his own way. "There's the Little Nesbitt." I NEW YORK, Saturday Morning. The Now York American" says that Thaw's counsel possesses evidenco that on Monday evening, when the Thaws were at the Cafe Martin, Mr. White remarked, on seeing Mrs. Thaw, There's the little Xebitt." A friend of Thaw's repeate-d this to him. There seems little doubt that the meeting between Mr. White and the Thaws at the Madison-square Roof Garden later in the evening was purely accidental.—Central News. It is stated that White 11.\1 squandered his fortune and was in debt to over X60,DW. He has left his family only £ 40,000, his life in- surance. White's son is quoted as having said in an interview: "If Thaw escapes or only gets a, term of imprisonment, I will take ven- geance when he gets out."
