New York, June 27.—The Harry K.

"The last Time I saw Harry Thaw
at the race track was on the lost day
at Gravesend. He ran down to his last
1500 and bet that on some closely held'
favorite. He tost on the Anal jump by
a nose,” said Sloan yesterday. In dis

OF JEWELS WORTH $60,000
By Trieste Leased Wire.
Pittsburg, June 37.—It was learned
last night that the home of Mrs. Wil
liam Thaw, mother of Horry Thaw,
who Is charged with the murder of
Stanford White In New York, was
robbed of Jewels and silver plate with
in the past few weeks, the value of
which Is sold to amount to 300,000.
The matter was reported to the po
lice, but because of the prominence of
the family the Incident was suppressed.
All the cities of the country have been
notified of the robbery and a descrip
tion of the Jewels has been sent to the
various police departments.
The jewels are said to be some of
rare value gathered by Mrs. William
Thaw In her travels and Include strings
of pearls and'diamonds of rare value
and perfect color, and silver plate that
was convenient for the robbers to take
away. Heavier pieces of plate were
left behind.
Most of the proclous stones were on
strings or In settings of various kinds
for personal adornment. They practi
cally represented all the collection of
Mrs. Thaw, with, the exception of a
brooch and two rings which she was
wearing at the time.
The exact dale of the robbery Is
withheld. Mrs. Thaw had never been
careful of her Jewels and seldom put
them In a vault or a safe of any kind.
When the rase was first reported tho
family were In entire Ignorance of the
time the robbery occurred and could
give no explanation of how the robbers
bntered the place. The loss of this
property Is one of the last of the many
sensational epochs that have marked
the history of Lyndhurat.
‘77/ Stand by You Until the End, ”
Says Pretty Mrs. 1 haw to Husband
By Private Leased Wire.
New York, June 27.—Mrs. Florence Evelyn Nesblt Thaw sent a letter
to her husband today by his valet, Patrick Kavanaugh. In It she said:
“I want to assure you of my devotion and love. I.would have been to
see you, but was advised by Mr. Delafield to stay away, because I would
have been harassed had. I gone there. The very best lawyers will be
engaged for you and everything possible done for you. I will stand by

the two men. Thaw showing great pas
sion, while White was greatly discon
certed. As White arose to leave Thaw
said: .
"Now go, and be damned careful.”
Whits Sneered at Girl.
The third meeting was 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 his 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. She 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 While
to cease his persecuatlon of me, but
ithho nil periecuHuun ui
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 to 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 Be 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 sent 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 Sehpilttberger said:
"There have been many develop
ments In this case today, and I must
say that moat of them are favorable to
the defendant. I am not at liberty to
moke any statement now. but possibly
during the day a statement may be
given out through the proper channels.
“Look Out for Surprise."
"From just what aource this will
come I am unable to say now. We
are still at work on the case, and when
It comes to trial, look out for a big
^urprli#."
It has developed that for a long time
White had been shadowed by detec
tives and he Is alleged to have told
friends that they were employed by
Thaw.
It Is also said that The w et one time
was guarded by a private detective
Whom he had employed to protect him-
self against an attack by W hlte.
Yhaw passed an uneventful night In
hfa cell In the Tombs. He denied him
self to Visitor*, and at 10 o clock went
to sleep iad slept soundly until (
• clock this mornln
Thaw stepped in
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 wing
of the building and running north and
south. Thaw's cell Is the first on the
east side. Vlnceno Hartatine li

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
hnndwrltlng. Thaw glanced hurriedly
through them, not recognising any of
the superscriptions.
Valet Brings Him Clothing.
He opened a few which apparently
came from women of whom he hod
never even heard. They were sym
pathetic, but Intrusive, and he toss
ed them aside. Then he went out Into
the corridor again end started pacing
up and down once more, the prison
regulations permitting the prisoners to
exercise from 7 until 8 o'clock.
At 9 o'clock, the order was given
for the prlsbners 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 murderer*
and thieves, but he regarded them all
so little that he even seemed to hare
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.
