*rfv*t<* Leased Wire.
tvr York, June 3.0,-rAn Invcatiga-
which will result In a sweeping
sure of the life of Stanford
I White and his millionaire associates,
as been begun.
Wl.il Harry Thaw was salting to
<- ;u -algned to plead not guilty to the
h&rg* of murder In the first degree
>r.killing the architect. Assistant Dia-
t Attorney Garvin obtained five sub*
■ In blank from Magistrate Cor*
fi n. in the Center street cotut. These
o be used In “John Doe" proceed-
Vitnoases familiar with th** life led
Stanford White and his friends will
called. Names prominent In social,
Anew and financial circle* are in
vert. It Is expected that the reve
lations will shake the social structure
of New York to Its foundations.
All of this Is to come before the trial
of Harry Thaw.
The district attorney’s office already
is in possession of many facts about
White and his friends. Ex-Judge Ol-
coft. Thaw’s counsel, has many more.
Since he became Identified with the
case he has received more than 1,000
letters bearing on the case. They con
demn White, relate his escapades In
the tenderloin, give the names of men
who participated In his wild dissipa
tion and furnish other evidences which
will be pluced at the disposal of the
district attorney.
Stanford White's financial condition
has come in for a share of Investiga
tion. His representatives said today
that he had been vastly extravagant.
He had overdrawn his account with
his firm, had squandered his great for
tune and had borrowed more than half
a million dollars. From ono man Alone,
a member of a prominent New York
family, he borrowed $300,000.
In this connection the district attor
ney’s office will question Alfred G.
Vanderbilt and other prominent socie
ty millionaires. The fortune left Mrs.
White will consist chiefly of $200,000
life Insurance, which White kept up at
enormous expense, owing to his bad
physical condition.

Outside of the aldermanlc races the
