TTTE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS 1 THAW HERE-IN MOVIES; VIEWS OF FUGITIVE IN CANADIAN JAIL % yz Her© is Harry K. Thaw as he looks In our midst to-day—in the movies. The four poses of Stanford White's slayer and one of New York’s greatest little publicity providers are taken from moving pictures of Thaw’s arrest and fight "for liberty in Canada. They are all typical Thaw poses, taken in jail. In one he is shown reading a letter from his mother, Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw. During! his imprisonment in a Canadian j prison Thaw heard from his mother ’ and sister almost every day, and de- j dared that his happiest moments j were when he was reading one of! their letters. In another pose Thaw is shown writing an interview with himself. Thaw, all during Ms recent troubles, thirsted for publicity with an un quenchable thirst, and was never too busy to talk to newspaper men. Many of the interviews in which he out lined his plans were written by him self in his cell, and scattered with a lavish hand. Thaw is shown eating a prison meal in the third photograph. Corn on the cob has always been a fa vorite dish of the erratic young mil lionaire, and he told the moving pic ture men he liked to pose as shown above better than doing anything else. Thaw in a meditative mood Is shown in the final picture, smoking the pipe he uses almost onst ntly. He is said to have carried the same pipe in his pocket on the night he shot and killed Stanford White. A private exhibition of the pictures showing Thaw in Canada was given at the Grand yesterday, Manager Cardoza and his assistants looking them over. mm visit Boys in Gray Accompany Them to Chattanooga—Northern Dele gation Entertained Here.
