THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. THAW'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. Br Prints lasted Win. New York, jGly 23.—If Harry K. Thaw electa to go to trial and plead Justification for slaying Stanford White the prosecution. It was learned today, plana to use an affidavit by Mrs. C. J. Holman, mother of Evelyn Nosblt Thaw, which Is expected to shatter the defense. This affidavit declares that while Mr*. Nesblt and her daughter were In Paris with Thaw the latter demanded that she sign a statement saying that Thaw had never promised to marry her daughter and never Intended to do so. Thl« was at the time Thaw had an nounced that he and the girl were mar ried He said they were married, the affidavit declares, because the news- P*P*n had printed stories that he and th» .Nesblt girl were living together In Pari*. To 8how His Hatred. This Incident Is referred to In a num- Bar of remarkable letters from the mother to Stanford White. By the let 'em and the affidavit the dJatrlCt at- lorney expects to show the cause of Thaw’s hatred for White and a motive for the murder. Mrs. Holman, In Pltts- J>urK today, admitted the authorship of the letters, but said she was not re- »pon*lb!e for their publication. 1 he letters are considered as positive evidence that Thaw was continually warring with White over Evelyn Nes- hlt. while White, at the behest of the mother, was using every effort to win her back. That White’s action was In- 'Plrel by Mrs. Nesblt, now Mrs. Hol man, to whom he was a benefactor. Is made clear In the letters. In them the Pro.ecutlon sees a clearly drawn trail which led to the shooting. Think Pisa Supported. On the other hand, the defense pro- “*»c» regard for them as evidence In •opport of the plea of Justification. They declare that after Thaw won the flrl away from the Influence of White firmly Intended to make her his w'fe. and as her proepectlve husband h« bitterly resented the Interference to which he was subjected by the agents of it hlte, who was acting with the In- "Igatton of the mother. A breach existed from the first be- 'ween Thaw and Mrs. Nesblt. the de- ten»e say* the letters show, and that one of the reasons for Thaw’s antago- **» of the mother was 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 Nesblt family. Hartrldge Is Acknowlsdgsd. George B. Carnegie, Thaw’s brother- in-law, referred Inquirers to Mr. Har trldge, which seems to Indicate that Thaw’s selection of a lawyer has Anally 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 called her daughter Florence. Here Is one of the letters: •'Dear Mr. White: Your letter re ceived. Will send Florence’s letter as you desired. When we first went to Paris and met Thaw he and Florence quarreled continually. We were—at least I was—Indeed miserable. I ex pected each day to hear her say wo 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 can be done to save her from him. He doe* not Intend to many 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 ,e, -T mnsimply tortured with reporters. My head ha* simply been splitting for a week. You have no Idea how dis graceful this affair Is to Pittsburg peo ple They drive me wild, telling me to take action: that she Is not of age. Mr. W’hlte, please do try to talk to her. She is too young to understand how she is being wronged. I hope I hear front you very soon." _. .. She Feared Trouble. When Thaw and the Nesblt 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 j ■nmpthlnc was wrong.
