THAW PUT IN TOMBS
TO AWAIT THE INQUEST.
By Privets I .rased Wire,
New York, June 21—Harry K.
Thaw, slayer of Stanford White, the
famous architect, was taken from the
Tenderloin police 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 hts trial for the
killing. Coroner Dooley, who was In
the cell with him for a time, told Burr
McIntosh that Thaw talked‘of voices
Hie friends say he woe driven mad by
brooding over his wrongs. A woman’s
voice haunted him during the nlghL
Hear* Woman's Voles.
"Don't you hear that woman's voice?
What Is she doing? What Is she call
ing about?” cried Thaw to the coro
ner. "That woman should not be here.
She la. Innocent. She la Innocent.'
One of the first of Thaw’s friends to
reach the police station to give what
help he could waa Burr McIntosh, the
actor and artist photographer, who has
known Thaw from boyhood. It waa to
Mr. McIntosh that Coroner Dooley re-
K -sted Thaw’s strange statements In
s celL
"Must Have Been Insane.”
'Thaw muat have been Insane when
he (hot White,” said Mr. Mclntoeh. "I
can't underatand otherwise how he
could haVe done the shooting. To my
knowledge there never was any dis
agreement between Thaw and White.
There Is absolutely no other explana
tion, to my mind, than that the young
man waa Inaane.
Mr. Thaw learned to me. to be In
full possession of all hla faculties. I
spoke to him In a casual way at the
Cafe 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 splrlte. There waa
nothing about hla conduct when I saw
him that Indicated In the slightest the
coming tragedy.

'■We were practically boys together,
although he la, of course, younger than
Both our fathers wera officer* In

tors of Thaw's grandfather's will. He
was a ‘kid’ with me and I wanted to
help him. I know nothing of the merits
of ths case."
Thaw’e friend* had taken clothing to
him this morning and when he waa
brought from hla cell he had exchanged
his evening clothing, for a natty gray
bualaees suit.
Thaw asked Mclntoeh: "Have you
arranged for my lawyers to be In

McIntosh assured him that this had

6—4; 2—4; 4—4; 4—4; 6—2.
Aided by th* unconquerable ally, lit
tle Dan Cupid, George A. Tatum, who
recently caused a lively scene In
Whitehall street by knocking down two
young men In the presence of hls lady
love, has finally beaten tho courts and
surmounted the ohetaclo of parontal
objection, hie turbulent romance com
ing to a successful termination In n
romantic elopement.
Young Tatum won as hls bride Miss
Bertie Lee Dnnlell, pretty daughter of
G. B. Dnnlell. of 660 Martin street,
formerly telephone operator at the
Piedmont hotel.
Although the parents of Mlsq Danlell
sought energetically to break up the
match nnd hnd persistently refused
young Tntum admission to th* Danlell
home for tho poet two years, love found
a way. ns It always does. The fact ot
the marriage has bean kept quiet nnd
has been known only to the relatives
nnd n few friends ot tho happy young
couple.
The concluding touch to tho pretty
nnd somewhat exciting romance wns
ndmlnlatcred by Rev. George H. Mack,
pastor of th* Cumberland Presbyte-
rlan church. Directly nfter tho wed
ding Tatum and hls bride went to the
Danlell homo and Informed Mr. nnd
Mrs. Danlell of what had happened.
The parents had not received the
slightest Inllmnllon that the marrlngo
was eontsmplated and It proved n great
eurprlso. It Is understood that Mr.
Danlell did not look on ths union with
favor at first, hut It Is said that nil
parties have now become reconciled.
Tho young couple ore nt home to
their friends, at 164 Richardson street.
Ths Knockout Blow.
Certain features of the romance are
fresh In the minds of tho public. At
tho time young Tatum knockod down
tho two young men, who were.eacort-
Ing Mies Danlell nnd another young
litclv In their linnies fr,im tbe piedmont
hotel ono night soreral weeks ngo. It
seemed that Tatum's love affair had
received a knockout blow. Following
this lively episode. Miss llnnlell swore
out a peace warrant ngalnst her sweet-
henrt, musing him to he put under
bond not to Interfere with her again.
And It was here that lave proved
stronger than the strong srm of the
Inw. A few dnys ngo, prior -to the
elopement. Miss Danlell, fully rrnlltlng
that tho pence warrant was nil n farce
ns far ns she nnd young Tatum were
concerned, withdrew the warrant nnd
tonk him fmin the bends of the courts.
As it remtll of Ids exhibition (if pllul-
llstfc prowess, Tntum also hnd to face
two other warrants In a Justice court.
Allan Strong, night cterlr .1 the Pled*
mnnt, nnd hls friend. Hugh Galvin,
both of whom felt the effects of Ta
tum's blows, took out warrants charg
ing him with assault nnd battery.
Rather than hove hls Isdy love hu
miliated by appearing In court, Tatum
npponred before tho court, pleaded
guilty nnd on* fined.
Miss Dnnlell nnd the other young
Indy were both connected with tho
Piedmont nt the time of the trouble.
They were being escorted home by
Strong nnd Galvin, nnd at a point In
Whitehall street, near the junction of
Forsyth, met young Tatum. Approach
ing the quartet, the young mnn hnd a
few words with Strong, who was with
Mies Dnnlell. nnd then proceeded to
make things lively by knocking down
both escorts.
For this offence Tntum was nlso ar

Recorder Broyles.
