By Private Leaned Wire.
N.ew York. June 27.—Mrs. Florence Evelyn Neablt Thaw sent a letter
to her husband today by his volet, Patrick Kavanaugh. In It sho said:
"I want to assure you of my devotion and love. I would have been to

the two men, Thaw showing great pas-
sion, while White was greatly discon
certed. As White afose to leave Thaw
said:
“Now go, and be damned careful."
White 8neered at Qirl.
The third meeting whs that at the
Cafe Martin, on the night of the kill
ing. A version of this meeting Is now
given, differing from that which has
been published.
When the Thaws and their party
passed the table at which White was
sitting with Truxton Beale and anoth
er, White, It Is alleged, sneerlngly
glanced at Evelyn Nesblt Thaw and
said, loud enough for all sitting near
to hear: .
"There she goes; she’s andbody's
property."
Thaw shook hla finger In White's
face.
"I’ll Get You," Said Thaw.
"You ; I'll get you for those
words," he said.
Later, as White passed the Thaw ta
ble, he tapped Mrs. Thaw familiarly on
the shoulder and said something to her
which no one else heard. It was then
that she wrote the note to her husband
In which she said:
"That dirty blackguard Is here."
In confirmation of all this Is the com
ment Mrs. Thaw made on the-killing
of White. £he said:
"I think Harry did Just right. I
think he did a noble act. The world
should be rid of men like Stanford
White.
“I tried to persuade Stanford White
to cease his persecution of me, but
could not. For a time I thought I had
succeeded, but every time I came with
in his reach I was sure to be an
noyed by him.
"I loved Harry and wished Jo get en
tirely away from everything that re
minded me of my old life. It was cruel
of Stanford White to persist In re
minding me of It and to continue his
efforts to see me and make appoint
ments with me."
In further confirmation of this Is a
statement made early today, by Police
Inspector Schmlttberger, after a con
ference with Assistant District Attor
neys Garvin and Turnbull at the West
Thirtieth street station.
May Bs Developments.
The prosecuting attorneys went to
the station before.midnight and ques
tioned Sergeant McCarthy and exam
ined the police blotter with the entry
of Thaw's arrest. Detective McGee
was sedt to Burns' restaurant,' where
he questioned the manager and wait
ers. When he returned the lawyers
questioned him at length. After the
conference the lawyers refused to talk,
but Inspector Schmlttberger said:
"There have been many develop
ments In this case today, and I jmut
say that most of them are favorable to
the defendant. I am not at liberty to
make any statement now, but possibly
* la. a efafomant MIRV DC
during”be day a statement may be
given out through the, proper channels.
“Look Out for Surprise."
"From Just what source this will

White had been shadowed by detec

friends that they were employed by

It U also said that Thsw at one Uroe
was guarded by a Prtvaledetectlve
whom he had employed to protect him
self against an attack by White.
Thaw passed an uneventful night In
his cdl In the Tombs. He denled him
self to visitors, and at 10 o'clock went
to sleep' anti slept soundly until I
o'clock till* morning
Thaw stepped Into
rldor at 7 a. m. for exercise before
his breakfast. For a full hour, he kept
up his regular pace, up and down the
corridor. This Is In the north tvlng
of the building and running north and
south. Thaw's cell Is the first on the
east side. Vlnceno Hartarine Is
Thaw’s neighbor, held for felonious as
sault as the result of a stabbing af
fray.
At 8 o'clock, Thaw asked one of the
keepers to have his breakfast brought
to him.
As he finished his breakfast, the
warden handed him a bundle of let
ters. Most of them were In feminine
handwriting. Thaw glanced hurriedly
through them, not recognising any of
the superscriptions.
Yalst Brings Him'Clothing.
He opened a few which apparently
came from women of-whom he had
never even , heard. They were sym-
puthetlc, but Intrusive, and he toss
ed them aside. Then he went out Into
the corridor again and started pacing
up and down once more, the prison
regulations, permitting the prisoners to
exercise from 7 until I o’clock.
At » o'clock,. the order was given
for the prisoners to return to their
cells, and Thaw went back to the
little barred room. He had walked up
and down, touching elbows with Chi
nese, Italians: In fact, nearly every
nationality; rubbed against murderers
and thieves, but be regarded them all
so little that he even seemed to have
forgotten for the time where he was. •
His valet came to the Tombs short
ly after he had returned to his cell
from his walk and brought some
clothing. The valet left the things at
the door of the prison, and they were
taken to him.
