THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. 0ATUKDAT, MARCH 80, lWf. HERE IS THAW’S OWN STORY OF HOW HE KILLED WHITE Says He Had No Idea of Shooting Architect, But When He Met Him on Roof Garden Providence Settled Matter. PAID $125,000 FOR PICTURE OF. HIS SON'S YOUNG BRIDE TO HAVE IT SUPPRESSED Now York, March 30.—Here la Harry Thaw’s own story of the shooting of Stanford White, as told by him to . Alienist Britton D. Evans, when Evans visited him In the Tombs prison. Dr. Evans repeated Thaw’s story on the witness stand. It la from his account under oath that the following state ment Is taken. Thaw said: • "I have been subjected to the effects of a conspiracy. Lawyer Delafleld, of New York, and the firm of Black, Ol- entt. Gruber and Bonynge were In u conspiracy with Jerome to railroad me to an asylum. They wanted to declare me Insane. “It Is all rot. There Is nothing to It. They did not want me to come through a trial where I might be vindicated and where I might tell to a court and jury all that there Is In this matter. "White’s friends desired this and they had access to Mr. Delafleld and Black, Olcott, Gruber and Bonynge, and even to the district attorney’s of fice anu they were all fn collusion to dose the matter up quietly, and to de feat any efTort on my part or of my attorneys to show to the court and jury and the world the Infamous con duct of Stanford White. "Tills man. this beast, this black guard. sought to harm every pure- minded woman that came In the sphere of his observation. I tried to save them—I tried to save them, I did all In my power to do so. "I never wanted to shoot that man; 1 never wanted to kill him; I never had any desire to kill him. But I did want through legal means to bring him to trial. I wanted to bring him before a court so that his Infamous doings might bo held up to the public and that he might bo brought to justice and suffer for that which he had done. sltIS?i«if? t Il, M,nc# t00k char *® o* the was an of Provi- dence. and hud It been my Judgment, ..ha'®,Preferred for hhn to suf- grttotamlltatlo* and all that comes from faying bare this matter of his doing before a court and before the public.

This man was DeLancy Nlcoll. He was another link In the conspiracy. There was a general conspiracy between the district attor ney’s office and White’s influential friends. There was a Mr. P— who was a friend of White. He w’as associated with White in questionable practices. ‘‘I carried a pistol because I was ad vised to do so by Roger O’Mara, who told me I had better protect myself. I had told O’Mara that on several occa sions thugs had jostled me and had en deavored to get me into a brawl. These people were the hired agents of Stan ford White, who hired the “Monk 1 Eastman gang and such people, to get me Into difficulties so they could kick me to death. But the shooting of a man Is a terrible proposition. I want ed, by legal process, to bring him to justice, but this act of Providence came In and settled the matter In this way. “I had no thought of taking Stanford White’s life, but when I came upon him In the roof garden theater that night. Providence took the matter out of my hands and removed Stanford White. 1 think that is the better way, becauso now he Is permanently re moved and If he had gone to prison, why, ho might be pardoned out, after a time, and renew his practices.” THE WICKEDNESS OF MOLLIE By ETHELREDA YORKE pi on sod to take bis ‘little cousin' on the river sometimes.

It Is easy to sit In the sunshine And talk to the man In the shade; It Is easy to float In a well-trimmed boat And point out the places to wade.

But give it a sip and a wryer l.y Was never made on earth. feet the welfare of society none Is more radical In Its nature or more far-reaching In Its consequences than that of marriage. Decadent civ ilisation la marked by a disrespect for marital responsibilities, with the growth of Inordinate material luxury there Is ever a reversion to animalism and a rebellion against marital re straints. The movement In favor of easy di vorce which la spreading In most coun tries of Europe, and which has already reached such an alarming proportion In tho United States, cannot therefore but demand the serious attention of all who have at heart tho Welfare of tho race or nation. For no nation can last which Is not built upon a sound moral basis. But It may be asked: Is tbo move ment In favor of divorce a sign of greater laxity of morals or may It not be an attempt to put marital relation ship upon a sounder and more moral footing? Marriage, It Is sometime* Mid, as It existed before tho divorce courts were established, oftentimes bound to gether In Indissoluble partnership of the most Intimate character two people totally unfitted for each other. It le urged such enforced partnership con stitutes a grave, moral danger; for the parties concerned will almost surely seek compensation In unlawful pleas ures; and so tha legal bond Is exposed to scorn and contempL Better Is It to havo a lax law which all will re spect than a rigid law which many will break. Such Is tho argument; and without doubt It would have much farce were It not founded upon the fundamental fallacy that marriage depends for Its sanction primarily upon the personal Inclination of the parties concerned; or, as others would put It, upon tho advantage which each party reaps from the contract. Marriage does not dorlvo Its sanc tion from personal Inclination nor from personal advantage. Personal Inclina tion and advantage rightly enter Into the coslderatlon of marriage, but the supreme object of marriage Is the propagation of the human race In ac cordance with the divine scheme of the Gospel. In other words, marriage Is designed by God as a means of bulld- dom of God Is to be established on the earth. The essential rule of Christian marriage raises It to tho level of a re ligious Institution and gives It a sac ramental dignity. The sanction of marriage, therefore. Is derived not from personal Inclination or any secular ad vantage, but from Its Inclusion In the scheme of the Gospel, whereby the world Is to be reconstituted Into the Kingdom of God. and man Is to be raised abovo mere animal nature and mode "a child of God." In the mar riage vow, therefore, we eeo not mere ly tho contract between man and wo man. but the contract between man and woman on the one band and God on the other. Husband and wife, when they register their promise to each other, thereby contract with God to fulfil tho purposo for which He has or dained the marriage stato, and which .'done renders It lawful for them to live together an man and wflo. To Ignore that purposo In their contract Is to commit a eacrllcgo; to desecrate a sacrament. Such, then. Is the answer to those who would make marrlago depend for Ita sanction upon the existence of mu tual Inclination or Tegard It os a mere civil contract And now for the argument that an Indissoluble marrlago bond Is an In- Justloe where mutual inclination does not exist and a temptation to unlaw ful pleasure. Since the sanation of > does not rest In tbo exist- mutual Inclination, the Indis solubility of marriage can not be an Injustice where this mutual Inclination Is absent Whether they care for each other or not the bond still exists. It Is urgod that In such cases great suffering Is entailed and marriage be come! ii burden rather than a joy, surely the same orgumont would strike a blow at all morality which demands sacrifice of the acceptance of pain. Were such an argument valid, a moth er might lawfully forsake her child when the care of It becomes Irksome; a soldier might run away from the battlefield because his life Is In danger; In fact, each man might, on the strength of that argument, cast off all responsibility whatever as soon as It Is felt to be a burden. Thera are reasons, It Is true, which justify the separation of husband and wlfo either for a time or permanently, but even In such cases tho essential bond remains Intact, and neither party can marry while the other lives. They still remain husband and wlfo; no pow er on canth can dlasolvo that relation ship, and once the reasons for separa tion have disappeared they are bound to live together again. Stringent as Christianity Is In regard to the Indissolubility of marriage, there Ik one point In her teachings which. If properly considered, aa It ought to be. by those about to marry, would greatly lighten the burdens of the marriage state. It Is the mind of Christianity that no marrlago should be contracted where love does not draw the parties together. Without love mar riage must become an almost Intolera ble burden; and In most coscb the re sult will be disastrous. Christianity then Insists that married life be built upon a deep and abiding love between husband and wife. No man or woman should contemplate marriage unless ha or she has that love, one for the other, which will enable them to bear tha burden of the other's life with patient acceptance. If not with Joy. Such, then, In brief, la the Christian doctrine concerning marriage, and If tha divorce evil Is to be remedied It can only be by Insistence upon thla doctrine In all Its Integrity. The worso sinners, perhaps, against the sanctity of marriage are those pa rents who bring up their children to look forward to marriage primarily from the standpoint of soolal conven tion or social advancement. Is It to be wondered at that these children, when they come to marry In time kick against the restraints and responsibili ties which. In fact, flow from a moral Ideal of which they have boon taught nothing? Surely such parents deserve more rebuke and scorn than does the daughter who, under the Influence of their teaching, casts off restraints and shacks society. But the divorce evil Is only one symp tom of that general moral relaxation for which the latter-day gospel of self- indulgence and self-pity Is responsible. For years past this gospel has boen r reached by philosophers and novelists, ts fruits ara now becoming apparent. Yet we are only at the beginning of tho evil, unless a serious effort Is mado to stem the tide. Society needs a general toning up. PROGRAM COMPLETE FOR BRYAN BANQUET Special to The Georgian.

Everything Japanese. "Ia It true that Japanese sleeves will prevail?" MIhb White was asked. "Yes, everything will be Japanese, See the long shoulders and short un der arm.” Miss White lifted the sleeve of a blouse made of mlnglod filet, Val enciennes and an unusual net lace, Sleeves and blouse waa all In one Piece. "All the eleeves are on that plan," declared Miss White. "There la no visible Joining of sleeve and bodice sides. Many sleeves are sloshed up the outside and many on the underside, to show the material of the blouse under neath. Other eleeves are a good deal trimmed with several materials under neath, while again, as you see In that gown by Corns, the sleeve Is merely a draped piece from tho bodice ovor an underaleeve of lingerie which may be removed to havo a bare arm when the gown le wanted for evening wear.

Of course, everybody knows that Pa quln dictates the styles In Paris and all the other couturiers copy him. See that Jacket In striped white and gray, of Paquln? It Is something on the order of a pony Jackst, but Is more fit ted, more elaborate In front and, al though hip length, both vest and coat have a short-walsted effect, and tho sleeve la entirely different from any thing you've ever seen before. Almost like a straight narrow bag. Isn't It? It widens a little toward the bottom and at the top shaped Into a piece that forme the outer aide of tho shoulder and underarm pieces as well. A mere kimono fold forms the open cuff, but Just see how cunningly It Is turned up to glvo just the shape one would ex pect from Paquln. "See, there you have the same sleeve In a Jacket by Bernard, only It Is gathered to a cuff at tho elbow and Is shorter than Paquln has made It. Ber nard shows the fad for a lingerie rut ile In the sleeves." Buttons Everywhere. Gowns, blouses and wraps all show ed variations of the new sleeves, and nsarly all Introduced to America the French fad for brass buttons. Thera are knob buttons and fiat buttons; strlpsd buttons and plain; tiny buttons and big ones, and curious stripes, gold and dark bronze. On anything that can be trimmed with buttons one sees buttons, sometimes as little dots In silken scallops. "If you want to aee something really startlingly new,” said Miss White, "here Is Poquln's latest vest. Linen! What do you think of linen with cloth, with voile, with foulard, with silk? Isn’t It unlifue? Paquln says that linen blouses must complete gowns of the kind I mention and trim them as welL So linen Is all the rage—not aa a dress material, but as a dress trim mlng.

There Is a handsome thing In two kinds of filet lace, mingled with Valenciennes and trimmed with pieces of the drees and Its garniture.
