WANTS ALIMONY
Defendant Not Present When Suit
Is Called Before Judge
Pendleton.
BY CHARLES 80MERVILLE.
New York. June 29.—The ringing
shots from the revolver of Harry Thaw
that sent Stanford White to his death
have sounded sickening fear to other
men In New York—men as wealthy
aa White was; men as prominent; men
as talented. It has set a hundred or
more Doctors Jekyl trembling for fear
of the discovery of their Misters Hyde,
There are white-faced and uneasy eyes
to be observed In some of the best
clubs of the city—faces thkt hereto
fore were always more or lesa flushed
with wine and whose eyes have always
looked. In spite of their secret doings,
with a synlcal confidence on the world
that they have deceived. .
Astounding Rssults Threatened.
The Thaw trial threatens to start
the police muck rake with astounding
results. In the clouds of ‘queer sto
ries that have arisen above the scene
of Monday may have'tonched some of
them In the past, but many others of
those named have etond heretofore only
for men occupying foremost places in
many of the noblest pursuits of civili
sation.
In these queer tales, strangely
enough, the youth of New York does
not appear. The men In them are of
the stamp of Stanford White. They
are men who have fought the fierce
fight for. success and won It, mrfn of
distinction resting on their achieve
ments an'd given free rein, under minds
disordered by champagne and heavy
suppers, to every whim—the shadier,
the more alluring.
Nothing Short of Brazen.
In this they have been nothing short
of brazen. So sure have they been
of the circle of protection that tholr
Influence and their fame had drawn
around them that they have disported
In all license under the high glare of
the great clty'a lights.
Again, however, this may have been
their very best concealment. It Is an
old trick of criminals who have com
mitted an offense against the law In
New York to hide themselves—In New
York. Its labyrinthlan avenues and
streets, Its vast crowds mnke so con
fused a picture that Individuals are
lost In the whirl of It. In like man
ner, there have been bigamy trials In
New York where men have maintained
two and even threo establishments for
years without on establishment being
cognizant of the existence of the oth
er, although nil three might be within
pistol shot dlstanco of one another.
Throw Off Respectability.
And so thess men, sitting In dignity
at the heads of their family boards In
the city's mansions; lecturing a eon,
perhaps on his wildness; chiding- a
daughter for some little Innocent es
capade, have throwit bn their over
coats and thrown off their respectabil
ity nnd gone out where the lights blase
most glaringly, the odor of perfumes la
heavy, and ribaldry rants on tlU dawn
Is In the sky. They fear the day of
reckoning'Is at hand.
