X«w Yorlt, July 2S.—If Harry K. Thaw elect, to go to trial and plead Justification for .laying Btanford White ih» prosecution, It waa learned today, plans to UK tan affidavit by Hr*. C. J. Holman, mother of Evelyn Neablt Thaw, which I. expected to .hatter the defense. Thl« affidavit declare, that while "Irs. Xesbtt and her daughter were In ParlH with Thaw the latter demanded that she sign a statement Maying that Jhuw had never promised to marry her oau.hter and never Intended to do «o. This waa at the time Thaw had an nounced that he and the girl were mar- ned. He raid they were married, the affidavit declare*, because the news paper. had printed stories that he and Paris' esb,t girl were living together In To Show Hi. Hatrtd. Thl. incident Is referred to In a num ber of remarkable letters from the mother to Stanford mite. By the tet- lers and the affidavit the district at torney expect, to show the cause of Thaw-, hatred for White and a motive ■or the murder. Mrs. Holman, In Pltts- hurg today, admitted the authorship of ■ne letters, but said’she was not re- tponsible for their publication. The letters ars considered as positive ‘vldence that Thaw was continually J.rring with White over Evelyn Nes- "t, while White, at the behest of the mother, was using every effort to win J*. r back. That White’, action was in- *Plr«| by Mr*. Kesblt, now Mr*. Hol man. to whom he was a benefactor, I* made clear In th* letter*. In them the Wnaecutlon see* a clearly drawn trail *nlch led to the ehootlng. Think Plea Supported, tin the other hand, the defense pro- f»se. regard for them as evidence In jmpport of the plea of Juetlflcatlon. Tb'V declare that after Thaw won the girl away from the Influence of White ftrm, Y intended to make her hi* and as her prospective husband Jf-bltteriy resented the Interference to !'*>•“ *“ subjected by the agents »*i. wbo w*« acting with the In- "Igatlon of the mother. A breach existed from the first be- n Thaw and Mr*. Kesblt, th# de- ray* the letters show, and that «u of * h ® "ason* for Thaw's antago- of tbs mother was because of her. attitude toward White and her post- Horn toward her daughter. The de- fen.c 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 Neabtt family. Hai<trldge Is Acknowledged. George B. Carnegie, Thaw's brother- in-law, referred Inquirers to Mr. Har- tridge, which aeems to Indicate that Thaw’a selection of a lawyer has Anally been accepted by his family. Mothsr Roasts Thaw. Mrs. Holman, In letters she wrote White, referred to Thaw ae a scoundrel, a villain and a man with murderous Intent In his heart. She called her daughter Florence. Here Is one of the letters: '•Dear Mr. White: Your letter re ceived. Will send FloYence'e letter as you desired. When we first went to Paris and met Thaw he and Florence quarreled continually. We were—at least I waa—Indeed miserable. I ex pected each day to hear her say *<• would return 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 cSn be done to save her from hlin. Fie 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 reporter*. My head has simply been splitting for a week. You have rib Idea how dis graceful this affair I* 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 |g too young to understand now she l* being wronged. I hope I hear from you very soon.” > She Fcsred Trouble. t When Thaw and the Kesblt girl re turned to New York and were put out of several hotels, Mrs. Holman feared that her son, Florence's brother, might cause trouble, a* he had heard that Here Is what Mrs. Holman then wrote th 'norence h»<F asked Howard -to visit her at Christmas time. Do you think It would be right when she 1# 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 pa all. I am heartsick, and Mr. Holman feels It so. People In Pittsburg talk awfully, and the men hate him 10. The wretched beast sent articles to the pa pers of Pittsburg. He did all he could to get meto.aay something to he coulfl publish that awful itory 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 mafrled?"
