HERE IS THAW’S OWN STORY
OF HOW HE KILLED WHITE
Says He Had No Idea of Shooting Architect,
But When He Met Him on Roof Garden
Providence Settled Matter.
PAID $125,000 FOR PICTURE
OF. HIS SON'S YOUNG BRIDE
TO HAVE IT SUPPRESSED
Now York, March 30.—Here la Harry
Thaw’s own story of the shooting of
Stanford White, as told by him to
. Alienist Britton D. Evans, when Evans
visited him In the Tombs prison. Dr.
Evans repeated Thaw’s story on the
witness stand. It la from his account
under oath that the following state
ment Is taken.
Thaw said: •
"I have been subjected to the effects
of a conspiracy. Lawyer Delafleld, of
New York, and the firm of Black, Ol-
entt. Gruber and Bonynge were In u
conspiracy with Jerome to railroad me
to an asylum. They wanted to declare
me Insane.
“It Is all rot. There Is nothing to It.
They did not want me to come through
a trial where I might be vindicated
and where I might tell to a court and
jury all that there Is In this matter.
"White’s friends desired this and
they had access to Mr. Delafleld and
Black, Olcott, Gruber and Bonynge,
and even to the district attorney’s of
fice anu they were all fn collusion to
dose the matter up quietly, and to de
feat any efTort on my part or of my
attorneys to show to the court and
jury and the world the Infamous con
duct of Stanford White.
"Tills man. this beast, this black
guard. sought to harm every pure-
minded woman that came In the sphere
of his observation. I tried to save
them—I tried to save them, I did all
In my power to do so.
"I never wanted to shoot that man;
1 never wanted to kill him; I never
had any desire to kill him. But I did
want through legal means to bring him
to trial. I wanted to bring him before
a court so that his Infamous doings
might bo held up to the public and
that he might bo brought to justice
and suffer for that which he had done.

dence. and hud It been my Judgment,
..ha'®,Preferred for hhn to suf-

to the Pinkertons and other detective
agencies and they reported back to him
that Mr. Jerome said Thaw had better
let It drop; that there was nothing In
"There was a prominent lawyer,” said
Thaw, “who was an adviser to White
ana at the same time was a counsel to
Mr. Comstock's society. This man was
DeLancy Nlcoll. He was another link
In the conspiracy. There was a general
conspiracy between the district attor
ney’s office and White’s influential
friends. There was a Mr. P— who was
a friend of White. He w’as associated
with White in questionable practices.
‘‘I carried a pistol because I was ad
vised to do so by Roger O’Mara, who
told me I had better protect myself. I
had told O’Mara that on several occa
sions thugs had jostled me and had en
deavored to get me into a brawl. These
people were the hired agents of Stan
ford White, who hired the “Monk 1
Eastman gang and such people, to get
me Into difficulties so they could kick
me to death. But the shooting of a
man Is a terrible proposition. I want
ed, by legal process, to bring him to
justice, but this act of Providence came
In and settled the matter In this way.
“I had no thought of taking Stanford
White’s life, but when I came upon
him In the roof garden theater that
night. Providence took the matter out
of my hands and removed Stanford
White. 1 think that is the better way,
becauso now he Is permanently re
moved and If he had gone to prison,
why, ho might be pardoned out, after a
time, and renew his practices.”

It Is easy to sit In the sunshine
And talk to the man In the shade;
It Is easy to float In a well-trimmed boat
And point out the places to wade.
But once we pass Into the shadows
We murmur and fret and frown.
And, our length from the bank, we shout for a plank,
Or throw up our hands and go down.
It Is easy to sit In your carriage
And counsel the man on foot;
But get down and walk and you'll change your talk.
As you feel the peg In your boot.
It Is easy to tell the toller
How best he can carry Ills pack.
But no one can rats a burden's weigh
Until It has been on his back.
Tho up-curled mouth of pleasure
Can prate at sorrow’s worth.
But give it a sip and a wryer l.y
Was never made on earth.
feet the welfare of society none
Is more radical In Its nature or
more far-reaching In Its consequences
than that of marriage. Decadent civ
ilisation la marked by a disrespect for
marital responsibilities, with the
growth of Inordinate material luxury
there Is ever a reversion to animalism
and a rebellion against marital re
straints.
The movement In favor of easy di
vorce which la spreading In most coun
tries of Europe, and which has already
reached such an alarming proportion
In tho United States, cannot therefore
but demand the serious attention of all
who have at heart tho Welfare of tho
race or nation. For no nation can last
which Is not built upon a sound moral
basis.
But It may be asked: Is tbo move
ment In favor of divorce a sign of
greater laxity of morals or may It not
be an attempt to put marital relation
ship upon a sounder and more moral
footing? Marriage, It Is sometime* Mid,
as It existed before tho divorce courts
were established, oftentimes bound to
gether In Indissoluble partnership of
the most Intimate character two people
totally unfitted for each other. It le
urged such enforced partnership con
stitutes a grave, moral danger; for the
parties concerned will almost surely
seek compensation In unlawful pleas
ures; and so tha legal bond Is exposed
to scorn and contempL Better Is It
to havo a lax law which all will re
spect than a rigid law which many
will break.
Such Is tho argument; and without
doubt It would have much farce were
It not founded upon the fundamental
fallacy that marriage depends for Its
sanction primarily upon the personal
Inclination of the parties concerned;
or, as others would put It, upon tho
advantage which each party reaps from
the contract.
Marriage does not dorlvo Its sanc
tion from personal Inclination nor from
personal advantage. Personal Inclina
tion and advantage rightly enter Into
the coslderatlon of marriage, but the
supreme object of marriage Is the
propagation of the human race In ac
cordance with the divine scheme of the
Gospel. In other words, marriage Is
designed by God as a means of bulld-
dom of God Is to be established on the
earth. The essential rule of Christian
marriage raises It to tho level of a re
ligious Institution and gives It a sac
ramental dignity. The sanction of
marriage, therefore. Is derived not from
personal Inclination or any secular ad
vantage, but from Its Inclusion In the
scheme of the Gospel, whereby the
world Is to be reconstituted Into the
Kingdom of God. and man Is to be
raised abovo mere animal nature and
mode "a child of God." In the mar
riage vow, therefore, we eeo not mere
ly tho contract between man and wo
man. but the contract between man
and woman on the one band and God
on the other. Husband and wife, when
they register their promise to each
other, thereby contract with God to
fulfil tho purposo for which He has or
dained the marriage stato, and which
.'done renders It lawful for them to live
together an man and wflo. To Ignore
that purposo In their contract Is to
commit a eacrllcgo; to desecrate a
sacrament.
Such, then. Is the answer to those
who would make marrlago depend for
Ita sanction upon the existence of mu
tual Inclination or Tegard It os a mere
civil contract
And now for the argument that an
Indissoluble marrlago bond Is an In-
Justloe where mutual inclination does
not exist and a temptation to unlaw
ful pleasure. Since the sanation of
> does not rest In tbo exist-
mutual Inclination, the Indis
solubility of marriage can not be an
Injustice where this mutual Inclination
Is absent Whether they care for each
other or not the bond still exists.
It Is urgod that In such cases great
suffering Is entailed and marriage be
come! ii burden rather than a joy,
surely the same orgumont would strike
a blow at all morality which demands
sacrifice of the acceptance of pain.
Were such an argument valid, a moth
er might lawfully forsake her child
when the care of It becomes Irksome;
a soldier might run away from the
battlefield because his life Is In danger;
In fact, each man might, on the
strength of that argument, cast off all
responsibility whatever as soon as It Is
felt to be a burden.
Thera are reasons, It Is true, which
justify the separation of husband and
wlfo either for a time or permanently,
but even In such cases tho essential
bond remains Intact, and neither party
can marry while the other lives. They
still remain husband and wlfo; no pow
er on canth can dlasolvo that relation
ship, and once the reasons for separa
tion have disappeared they are bound
to live together again.
Stringent as Christianity Is In regard
to the Indissolubility of marriage,
there Ik one point In her teachings
which. If properly considered, aa It
ought to be. by those about to marry,
would greatly lighten the burdens of
the marriage state. It Is the mind of
Christianity that no marrlago should
be contracted where love does not draw
the parties together. Without love mar
riage must become an almost Intolera
ble burden; and In most coscb the re
sult will be disastrous. Christianity
then Insists that married life be built
upon a deep and abiding love between
husband and wife. No man or woman
should contemplate marriage unless ha
or she has that love, one for the other,
which will enable them to bear tha
burden of the other's life with patient
acceptance. If not with Joy.
Such, then, In brief, la the Christian
doctrine concerning marriage, and If
tha divorce evil Is to be remedied It
can only be by Insistence upon thla
doctrine In all Its Integrity.
The worso sinners, perhaps, against
the sanctity of marriage are those pa
rents who bring up their children to
look forward to marriage primarily
from the standpoint of soolal conven
tion or social advancement. Is It to
be wondered at that these children,
when they come to marry In time kick
against the restraints and responsibili
ties which. In fact, flow from a moral
Ideal of which they have boon taught
nothing? Surely such parents deserve
more rebuke and scorn than does the
daughter who, under the Influence of
their teaching, casts off restraints and
shacks society.
But the divorce evil Is only one symp
tom of that general moral relaxation
for which the latter-day gospel of self-
indulgence and self-pity Is responsible.
For years past this gospel has boen
r reached by philosophers and novelists,
ts fruits ara now becoming apparent.
Yet we are only at the beginning of tho
evil, unless a serious effort Is mado to
stem the tide. Society needs a general
toning up.

Mr. Knnls Wiley, of Monroe, spent lest
Sunday In the ritjr.
Mrs. J. T. Woodruff and little non of At

mother, Mrs. Ware. ,
Mlsa Mira Wore, after a visit to Atlanta
and Lawrencrvllle, hie returned home.
Miss Elizabeth A. C. White, presi
dent of the Dressmakers' Protective
Association, which Is now holding Its
annual spring fashion exhibition at the
Hoffnjan House In New York, lias Just
returned from Paris, bringing with her
a glorious array of gowns from Paquln,
Drecoil,, Francis Bernard, Corns, Be-
ihop, David & Cle, Drill, and others
'of like notability In Paris.
Everything Japanese.
"Ia It true that Japanese sleeves will
prevail?" MIhb White was asked.
"Yes, everything will be Japanese,
See the long shoulders and short un
der arm.” Miss White lifted the sleeve
of a blouse made of mlnglod filet, Val
enciennes and an unusual net lace,
Sleeves and blouse waa all In one
Piece. "All the eleeves are on that
plan," declared Miss White. "There la
no visible Joining of sleeve and bodice
sides. Many sleeves are sloshed up the
outside and many on the underside, to
show the material of the blouse under
neath. Other eleeves are a good deal
trimmed with several materials under
neath, while again, as you see In that
gown by Corns, the sleeve Is merely
a draped piece from tho bodice ovor
an underaleeve of lingerie which may
be removed to havo a bare arm when
the gown le wanted for evening wear.
Oh. we have all sorts of cunning little
gown serve aoveral purposes.
Paquln Jacket Sleeve.
'And I want you to notice particu
larly the new Paquln Jacket sleeve.
Of course, everybody knows that Pa
quln dictates the styles In Paris and
all the other couturiers copy him. See
that Jacket In striped white and gray,
of Paquln? It Is something on the
order of a pony Jackst, but Is more fit
ted, more elaborate In front and, al
though hip length, both vest and coat
have a short-walsted effect, and tho
sleeve la entirely different from any
thing you've ever seen before. Almost
like a straight narrow bag. Isn't It? It
widens a little toward the bottom and
at the top shaped Into a piece that
forme the outer aide of tho shoulder
and underarm pieces as well. A mere
kimono fold forms the open cuff, but
Just see how cunningly It Is turned up
to glvo just the shape one would ex
pect from Paquln.
"See, there you have the same sleeve
In a Jacket by Bernard, only It Is
gathered to a cuff at tho elbow and Is
shorter than Paquln has made It. Ber
nard shows the fad for a lingerie rut
ile In the sleeves."
Buttons Everywhere.
Gowns, blouses and wraps all show
ed variations of the new sleeves, and
nsarly all Introduced to America the
French fad for brass buttons. Thera
are knob buttons and fiat buttons;
strlpsd buttons and plain; tiny buttons
and big ones, and curious stripes, gold
and dark bronze. On anything that
can be trimmed with buttons one sees
buttons, sometimes as little dots In
silken scallops.
"If you want to aee something really
startlingly new,” said Miss White,
"here Is Poquln's latest vest. Linen!
What do you think of linen with cloth,
with voile, with foulard, with silk?
Isn’t It unlifue? Paquln says that linen
blouses must complete gowns of the
kind I mention and trim them as welL
So linen Is all the rage—not aa a
dress material, but as a dress trim
mlng. When you remove your coat now
you will disclose a handsome blouse of
soft, heavy linen of the color of the
gown, all bund worked and smartly
made, and there you are! All dressed
up Instead of being only half dressed—
so far as effects go—In a white lingerie
or lace blouse.
No, lace blouses haven't gone out.
There Is a handsome thing In two kinds
of filet lace, mingled with Valenciennes
and trimmed with pieces of the drees
and Its garniture. The very smartest
thing Is the antique filet lace—such ss
old curtain* and bedspreads were mads
of—and these old filet laces are always
combined with Valenciennes. The ef
fect Is remarkable.
Another tremendous fad of the sea
son Is the baby princess dress. 1 In-
Katblccn Coker.
Xnnnnlly, of the gists Nor- J t"""'" «*«■»». » m-
epcDt Friday night with Miss traduced such a gown two years ago
which gives the baby expression to that
princess gown.
"That ruffled stock? Why. that's
the Marie Antoinette. It's tho very
latest thing In Paris and Immensely
popular there. Some of tho ruffles are
worn very full and etand well out from
the face. Don't nek mo what somo,
women will look like In them. In Paris
women wear them, no matter how they 1
look.
The New Eton 8lseve.
-"Here's the now eton coat sleeve.
Bernard mode It, Just a llttlo capo In
pleated gathers at the armhole and
without an under portion. Yet It looks
like a sleeve.''
"The eleeve In question was framed
up the open under edges with a wide |
bias fold, which turned up In a point!
on each side a trimmed cuff effect
■tltched to the outside of tho sleevo.
"Tussore silk enters largely Into
trimmings upon spring gowns for gir
dles, vests, cuffs, rovers and tho like,
and Is Invariably trimmed. A wide
new girdle of Tussore silk had across
the bottom of the front effective llttlo
straps and a buckle.
"Overskirt effects appear In soma of
the new skirts, and straps and panels
tiro exhibited upon many of the French
models.
"What color prevails In Paris? Green,
sage and olive greens. I did not see
any apricot In Paris, but apricot Ib all
tho rage here.
No Veils In Paris.
"I must tell yon that no veils ara
worn In Paris. Two reasons are given 1
for thle. One Is that veils ara bad for
the eyes. We know thla We also
know that In the world of fashion this
reason Is pure fiction. The truth Is
that the popular Louis XVI hat sticks i
ao far out in the back, and Is worn at,
such an angle that a veil spoils tha 1
whole effect. Therefore, the veil Is die- i
carded. The hair Is beautifully dressed i
and nets are worn over It to keep It In :
order. These nets take tho place of ,
face veils—which are only worn to
keep the hair In order—so now that
nets are worn, the face veil becomes no -
longer a necessity, and even woman 1
who wore them to conceal ravag-s in
their complexion ara discarding them.*
