New York, June 26.—Evelyn Keeblt
Thaw waa discovered by the reporters
shortly after noon at the Hotel Lor.
nine In the apartments of Mr. and
Mrs. Qeorje Carnegie.
Thaw was examined by three expert
alienists this afternoon and pronounced
sane. The examination was made on
behalf of the state, after Thaw's law
yers had declared that the young man
is a maniac and that the shooting of
White waa the result of a maniacal
Impulse.
It Is the contention of the state that
Thaw deliberately arid with premedi
tation took the life of the architect
and that jealousy and revenge for
wrong done by White to his beautiful
young wife were the motives.
THAW PUT IN TOMBS
TO AWAIT THE INQUE8T.
Br Prlrste Leased Wire.
New York, June 24.—Harry K.
Thaw, slayer of Stanford White, the
famous architect,' was taken from the
Tenderloin polled station to Jefferson
market "court today and arraigned on
a charge of homicide. The millionaire
prisoner was remanded in the coro
ner's custody.
Emotional Insanity will be the de
fense of Thaw on his trial for the
killing. Coroner Dooley, who waa In
the cell with him for a- time, told Burr
McIntosh that Thaw talked of voices.
His friends say he waa driven mad by
brooding over hla wrongs. A woman's
voice haunted him during the night.
Hears Woman's Voice.
"Don’t you hear that woman's voice?
What.In she doing? What is she call
lng about?" cried Thaw to the coro
ner. "That woman should not be here.
She Is Innocent. She Is Innocent."
One of the first of Thaw’s friends to
reach the police station to give what
help he could was Burr McIntosh, the
actor and artist photographer, who has
known Thaw from boyhood. It waa to
Mr. McIntosh that Coroner Dooley re
peated Thaw’s strange statemen
his ceil. .
“Must Hsvs Bssn Inssns."
"Thaw mult have been Insane when
he shot White," said Mr. McIntosh,
can't understand otherwise how he
could have done the ahootlng. To my
knowledge there never waa any dis
agreement between Thaw and Whitt.
Thera Is absolutely no other explana
tion, to my mind, than that the young
man was Insane.
"Mr. Thaw seamed to me to be In
full possession of all hla faculties. I
'poke to him In a casual way at tha
<'afe Martin, and left a few minutes
before he did. I believe that Thaw had
not been drinking and was not at all
under the Influence of liquor. He
seemed in good spirits. Thers was
nothing about hla conduct when 1 saw
him that Indicated In the slightest the
coming tragedy.
Change* Clothee in Cell,
"We were practically boya together,
although he Is, of course, younger than
I. Both our fathers were officers In
the same church and were co-execu
tors of Thaw's grandfathsr's will. Hs
was a ‘kid’ with me and I wanted to
help hltn. I know nothing of tha merits
of the csss."
Thaw's friends had taken clothing to
him this morning and when he waa
brought from his celt he had exchanged
hla evening clothing for a natty gray
business suit.
Thaw asked McIntosh: "Have you
arranged for my lawyers to be In
court ?t*
Mclntoeh assured him that this had
been done.
Balka at Handcuffs.
A big crowd had gathered in front
of the Tenderloin station. Inspector
krhmlttberger ordered Captain Hodg-
1ns to send a platoon of men out to
clear the street.
Detective Brown went up to Thaw
with a pair of handcuffs and hald
them out.
•‘Is that necessary?" asked Thaw.
"I don't Intend to run away."
Brown told him It waa necessary and
he was handcuffed to the detective. In
tront of the police station were a num
ber of photographer*, and when Thaw
■aw them he put hla hands over hla
face and hurried down to the patrol
"agon. In the wagon he asked If the
isndcuffs could not be removed, but
was told that ha would have to submit
to them.
Picture for Rogues’ Gallery.
They were driven rapidly to police
headquarters. Thaw waa taken first
to Inspector McLaughlin’s office, and
>ben up stairs Into tha rogues' gallery,
where ha was measured and photo
graphed.
He was sent from police headquarter*
<0 the Jefferson Market police court,
whera he was arraigned.
Police Cell it Murder.
The police look at the tragedy Jn
'heir practical way. Sentimental mo
tives mean nothing to them.
"We will prove,” said Inspector
fichmlttherger, "that It waa a ease of
first degree murder. Our Investiga
tions will dlsprue the theory of In
sanity which Thaw's friends will put
forward."
Thaw was taken to police headquar-

the time young Tatum knocked down
tha two young men, who were escort
