THE ' ATLANTA GEORGIAN. MONDAY. JULY a, UOt THA W’S WIFE’S MOTHER BEGGED WHITE TO RESCUE DAUGHTER Letters to Architect Show Intense Hatred of the Two Men For Each Other—May Be Used in Court Trial. B) I'rlvnte I.?■ ml Wire. •'>*» York. July 21.—If Harry K. Thaw electa to go to trial and plead Ju.ililcatlon for Playing Stanford White , the prosecution, it waa learned today, plans to uee an affidavit by Mra. C. J. Holman, mother of Evelyn Nesbtt Thaw, which la expected to ahatter the defense. This affidavit declares that while Mrs. Xesblt and her daughter were In with Thaw the latter demanded that she sign a statement saying that * naw had never promised to marry her daughter and never Intended to do so. This waa at the time Thaw had an- Bounced that he and the girl were mar ie,,' **' "a'd they were married, the arndavlt declares, because the newa- papeis had printed stories that he and Paris' " blt g,rl Wfre together In To Show His Hatred. This incident Is referred to In a nutn- •* r of remarkable letters from the mniher to Stanford White. By the let- >rrs and the affidavit the district nt- hrn».v expects to show the cause of Jhaw's hatred for White and a motive f"r tt„. murder. Mrs. Holman, In Pitts burg today, admitted the authorship of 'hr letters, but said she was not re- spon.ibie for their publication. I he letters are considered as positive evidence that Thaw was continually "airing with White over Evelyn Nes- “t. "Idle White, at the behest of the "lother, was using every effort to win her hack. That White’s action was In spired by Mrs. Nesbtt, now Sirs. Hol- than, to whom he was n benefactor. Is made dear In the letters. In them the prosecution sees a clearly drawn trail 'hh h led to the shooting. Think Plea Supported. 1 'n the other hand, the defense pro- regard for them as evidence In support of the plea of Justification. They declare that after Thaw won tbe prl away from the Influence of White “ firmly intended to make her his [t*. and as her prospective husband ™ “Itterty resented the Interference to «* SS.. h * w »» subjected by the agents " hi**. who was acting with the In- 'ogatlon of the mother. A breach existed from the flrst.be- }»s*n Thaw and Mrs. Nesbit. the tie- Ira.e says the letters show, and that of the reasons for Thaw’s antago- °“ia of the mother waa because of her attitude toward White and her posi tion toward her daughter. The de fense ridicules the statement that White was actuated by purely unselfish motives In his efforts to take the girl away from Thaw In his role of a bene- fatcor to the Nesbit family. Hartridgs Is Acknowledged. George B. Carnegie, Thaw's brother- in-law, referred Inquirers to Mr. Har- tridge, whleli seems to Indicate that Thaw's selection of a lawyer Ims finally been accepted by his family. Mother Roasts Thaw. Mrs. Holman, In letters she wrote White, referred to Thaw as a scoundrel, a villain and a man with murderous Intent In his heart. She railed her daughter Florence. Here Is one of the letters: ’’Dear .Mr. White: Your letter re ceived. Will send Florence's letter us you desired. When we first went to Paris and met Thaw he and Florence quarreled continually. We were—at least 1 was—Indeed miserable. I ex pected each day to hear her say wo would retym to America. Thaw came ■ to me, asked me to sign a paper. The article was that he did not Intend to marry Florence. I thought, as she hated him, I was doing the right thing. I do hope something can be done to save her from him. He does not Intend to marry her. I only hope when she hears about the paper that her pride will at least save her.” In another letter the girl's mother tells White: “I am simply tortured with reporters. My head has simply been splitting for a week. You have no Idea how dls- graceful this affair la to Pittsburg peo ple. They drive me wild, telling me to take action; that she Is not of age. Mr. White, please do try to talk to her. She Is too young to understand how she is being wronged. I hope I hear from you very anon." She Feared Trouble. When Thaw and the Nesbit girl re turned to New York and were put out of several hotels, Mrs. Holman feared that her sen, Florence's brother, might cause trouble, as he had heard that something was wrong. At the time i the boy was being befriended by IVhlte. 1 her at Christmas time. -Do you think It would'be right when she Is In the hor rible position she seems In? She says she is not married. Howard Is not a child, and he has heard some horrible expressions from the boys at school. Oh! how horribly she has disgraced us all. I am heartsick, and Mr. Holman feels It so. ' People In Pittsburg talk awfully, and the men hate him so. The wretched beast sent articles to the pa pers of Pittsburg. He did all he could to.get me to say something ao he could publish that awful atory he had made up, saying I sold my daughter. I cer tainly did not. Howard will soon be home. He will be a great comfort. He Is learning to obey, and I am grateful to you for It. I hope you are well and that I may hear from you. Do you know If Florence Is married?"
