New York, July 11.—County detec
tives, flanked by aubpena servers, sur
rounded the Hotel Plerrepont on West
Thirty-second street, today, tired out
after besieging the place all night, but
still alert to prevent the esenpo of Mrs.
Beatrice Bchwarts, whoso testimony re-
Itardlng alleged threats of Harry K.
Thaw to kill .Stanford White the pros
ecution la desperately in need of.
Me*. Behworu flung defiance at* As
sistant District Attorney Garvin by
declaring that she will refuse to submit
to his questioning, and under the ad
vice of an attorney, deliberately dis
obeyed the summons of the subpetui
served on her.
When the detectives reached the ho
tel with a grand Jury summons, the
penalty for not heeding which la ex
hibit, they were tqld that Mrs.
Schwartz had gone to Atlantic City,
N. J. This, however, was considered a
ruso to put the detectives off the track.
Spende Restless Night.
Harry Thaw spent a restless night In
the Tombs last night. The efforts of
his counsel to get him to submit to In
sanity tests filled him with terror at
Incarceration in an asylum and he
fights against this, insisting that his
only defense,Is the "unwritfen law.
His counsel, however, await the ar
rival of Mrs. William Thaw, the prison
er's mother, hoping that she will be
able to Influence him.
The officials In the Tombs who have
observed Thaw closely since his con
finement expressed the opinion today
that he was insane.,
"Billy" Sturgis, the man for whom
the district attorney's office and the
counsel for the defense have been seek
ing since the tragedy, has gone abroad
and will not return to testify. He Is an
Intimate friend of Thaw and Is said to
have heard of the latter's threats
against White.
Sturgis left New York the day after
the tragedy and since has kept his
whereabouts secret.
Mszis Follatts Indignant.
Miss Masle Folletto today was very
Indignant over an Interview published
in some of the papers, which stated
that she had told Assistant Attorney
Garvin that she had eeen Harry Thaw
exhibit a revolver with which he In
tended to "do up" Btanford White.
"I never made any euch etatement,
she declared, "either to Mr. Ganrln or
to any one else. What I told the as
sistant attorney I cannot tell any one.

ant attorney I cannot ten any one,
I wish to deny emphatically that I

Talks to Rsportsrs.
Thaw gave hie first long talk to the
newspaper' men today since he haa
been In the prleon. He asked to have
fhe reporters brought to him and when
they met him at the end of the cor'
rtdor Of his cell tier he stated ai
strongly as he knew how, that he wae
perfectly well, mentally and physically.
He added that he would be most glad
to see hts mother when she arrived
from Europe.
"Boys," said Thaw, smilingly, as the
newspaper men stood about him, "you
■ annot put It too strongly nor can
you give too much publicity to the
statement l make now that I am In
good physical and mental condition.
There is no sign that I have been able
to see of my breaking down.
Too Busy to Exoreiss.
"Great play was made of the fact
that I did not take the usual exercise
In the prison yesterday afternoon.
There was plenty of reaeon why i was
not able to .do so. I was not sick, as
the reports had It. I did not go for
my usual exercise because I was ex
tremely busy with m>* lawyers. I waa
going over many legal papers and I
had a great many letters to write."
"Did your counsel consent to your
seeing the newspaper men today and
making this statement?" Thaw was
asked.
A smile which spread Into a laugh
broke over Thaw's features at the
question. His laugh was a hearty one,
end he replied:
He Persuaded Lawyers.
"Yes, but I did have to do some pret
ty hard fighting to get their permls-
•lon to talk. But I told them," he
DYNAMITE SAFEj

By Private Leased Wire. 1
Chicago, July 11.—Four safe blowers
today blew open the safe In the brick
layers' hall with dynamite, wrecking
the building and getting $1,500 from
the safe. The funds of the brick-lay

added, and his face assumed a deter
mined look, “that I wanted the oppor
tunity personally of denying all l“ese
statements that have been printed
about me.
"Judge Olcott said that Is was not
necessary, and that I would aoon get
tired of denying these stories that
would continue to be printed about me.
But I told him I had not talked to the
newapaper men any before yesterday
afternoon and I thought I ought to
have permission to say something
now.”'
Won't Discuss Cese.
Thaw was then asked several ques
tions as to the njertta ot the White
case, but here he smiled broadly and
Indicated plainly that he was not going
to go Into any discussion of the kill
ing of Btanford White.
'•Now, you will have to excuse me
from answering questions like that,”
he said. Then another thought seemed'
to pass over his mind and he parried
by asking the newspaper men a quea-

He was brisk and earnest In manner,

President Peabody has been using the
funds of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company to conduct a campaign among
the policyholders for the re-election ot
the Standard clique were laid before

President Peabody sent to 500,00 poli
cyholders, at their own expense, a cir
cular letter lauding hla administra
tion. The cost of this document was
$16,000 and Bamuel Untermyer, coun
sel for the policyholders, asked Buper-
