several young women who were with
Mrs. Thaw.
Thaw waa taken away and hla wife

White waa Instantly killed. An ex

Just above the right eye. Either of the
wounds would have been Instantly
fatal. The third bullet entered the
right shoulder.
All the shots bad been flred In front,
as White was seated at the table. The
police believe the beginning of the
trouble between Thaw and White oc
curred on Wednesday. White attended'
Hammerateln'a roof-garden Saturday
night and after the performance went
to Bums' restaurant, Forty-flfth street
and Sixth avenue, where he met Thaw.
The two sat together at a table until

It was while Coihedlan Harry Short

Thaw. The aCdlence thought It was a
part of the show, and applauded. Then
the truth dawned on them, and ex
citement followed.
Wrote Husband Note.
Thaw, did not notice the preeence of
the architect until his attention was
attracted by the agitation of his wife.
This account of the Incident was given
by Thaw In an Interview after his ar-
rent:
"We were all at .Martin's," said
Thaw. "I was sitting some distance
from my wife. Suddenly I saw her
act very pale and begin to shiver. I
thought she was III. I made a motion
to Inquire what waa the matter, and
"he called a waiter and wrote a note,
which ahe sent around the table to me.
The note aald: The dirty black -

the fat scoundrel sitting there, big and
healthy, and than I saw her and how
•he was."

trlendehlp between Stanford White
and the former MIU Florence Evelyn
Nesblt. now Mrs. Harry Thaw. Mr.
Lederer Introduced Mlsa Neablt to the
stage. He said:
"Mlsa Neablt was the daughter of a
Pittsburg lawyer, and when she was
12 years old her father died, leaving
an estate much Involved. Hla widow
found It was necessary for her to pitch
In and make a living, and ahe went to
Philadelphia, ■ where for a couple of
years Evelyn posed as a modal. Then
she moved to New York, where ahe
continued to poee, . ... <
"When ehe waa only 15 or 13 years
old she met,Mr. White, and subbe-
quently ha became a close friend of her
and hex mother's. I think that through
out hla friendship for the girl waa en-
aaw him he made a move to rise.
Great Excitement Follewa.

revolver from hie overcoat pocket and
flred two shots at White In rapid suc

when I saw him. %
“Now, Mr. White was a gnat
'rounder.' Hla cion friends In the old-
r days vgera Freddy Gephardt and Tom
Clark, but from all I observed and from
talking many times with Miss Nss-
blt’s mother, I am firmly convinced that
his friendship for Miss Nesblt and the
help he gave her grew opt. of shear
good-heartedness, of marie, he was
a man who .always liked to talk to
pretty girls and to be with them.”

By I’rirate Leaned Wire. >
New York, June 23.—Harry 'Kendall
Thaw, now 23 year* old, ha* had a
meteoric career and hea furnished food
for gossip In Pltt*>urg, New York,
London and Paris. He Is th* younger
son of the late William Thaw,, on* of
the best-known railroad men of west
ern Pennsylvania and a vice president
»f the Pennsylvania railroad. Under
his father's will his Income Is about
920,000, but his share of the estate haa
been held (n true! for him by hla
mother and elder brother.
Always headstrong and erratic, hi*
father’s Influence often was necessary
to gat him out of scrapes during his
career at college.*
The young man startled Paris when
he gave a dinner reported to have cost
.950.000 lo a number of Part# stage
beauties, cieo de Merode was one of
the guests. Later ha gave an even
more expensive dinner in New York
that caused a greater sensation.
While in New York Harr ~
cams acquainted with the I
mouth. The rich PHtsburger and the
Impoverished young nableman became
fast friends, and Thaw conceived the
Idea of marrying hla friend to a rich
Pittsburg girl. After Yarmouth had
been rejected by Thaw’s niece, Mia*
Byrd Thaw, ha Introduced him to hi*
sister, Alice Thaw. Mlsa Thaw and
tha earl became Infatuated end Harry
Thaw encouraged th* courtship.
Meanwhile 2'lorenr* Evelyn Neablt
came Into Thaw's life. Rhe Is the
daughter of a Pittsburg lawyer and
was born In Allegheny City. When

circumstances and took her beautiful
daughter to New York.
Evelyn's great beauty resulted In her
becoming an artist's model and when

Metropolitan Bohemia as the moat
beautiful girl M New York. Then her
beauty won her a place on the stag*
and It waa while aha was a show girl
that aha met Thaw.
