New York, June 26.—Evelyn Keeblt Thaw waa discovered by the reporters shortly after noon at the Hotel Lor. nine In the apartments of Mr. and Mrs. Qeorje Carnegie. Thaw was examined by three expert alienists this afternoon and pronounced sane. The examination was made on behalf of the state, after Thaw's law yers had declared that the young man is a maniac and that the shooting of White waa the result of a maniacal Impulse. It Is the contention of the state that Thaw deliberately arid with premedi tation took the life of the architect and that jealousy and revenge for wrong done by White to his beautiful young wife were the motives. THAW PUT IN TOMBS TO AWAIT THE INQUE8T. Br Prlrste Leased Wire. New York, June 24.—Harry K. Thaw, slayer of Stanford White, the famous architect,' was taken from the Tenderloin polled station to Jefferson market "court today and arraigned on a charge of homicide. The millionaire prisoner was remanded in the coro ner's custody. Emotional Insanity will be the de fense of Thaw on his trial for the killing.

A woman's voice haunted him during the night. Hears Woman's Voice. "Don’t you hear that woman's voice? What.In she doing? What is she call lng about?" cried Thaw to the coro ner. "That woman should not be here. She Is Innocent. She Is Innocent." One of the first of Thaw’s friends to reach the police station to give what help he could was Burr McIntosh, the actor and artist photographer, who has known Thaw from boyhood. It waa to Mr. McIntosh that Coroner Dooley re peated Thaw’s strange statemen his ceil. . “Must Hsvs Bssn Inssns." "Thaw mult have been Insane when he shot White," said Mr. McIntosh, can't understand otherwise how he could have done the ahootlng. To my knowledge there never waa any dis agreement between Thaw and Whitt. Thera Is absolutely no other explana tion, to my mind, than that the young man was Insane. "Mr. Thaw seamed to me to be In full possession of all hla faculties. I 'poke to him In a casual way at tha <'afe Martin, and left a few minutes before he did. I believe that Thaw had not been drinking and was not at all under the Influence of liquor. He seemed in good spirits. Thers was nothing about hla conduct when 1 saw him that Indicated In the slightest the coming tragedy. Change* Clothee in Cell, "We were practically boya together, although he Is, of course, younger than I. Both our fathers were officers In the same church and were co-execu tors of Thaw's grandfathsr's will. Hs was a ‘kid’ with me and I wanted to help hltn. I know nothing of tha merits of the csss." Thaw's friends had taken clothing to him this morning and when he waa brought from his celt he had exchanged hla evening clothing for a natty gray business suit. Thaw asked McIntosh: "Have you arranged for my lawyers to be In court ?t* Mclntoeh assured him that this had been done. Balka at Handcuffs.

In tront of the police station were a num ber of photographer*, and when Thaw ■aw them he put hla hands over hla face and hurried down to the patrol "agon.
