Nsw York. July 5.—Details of the
breach of promise suit which Evelyn
Xc.blt Thaw contemplated bringing
against Harry K.'Thaw several months
before their marriage were revealed
today. The district attorney’s office
traces to this action the motive for
killing of Stanford White.
The prosecution has been Informed
that Thaw believed Stanford White In
spired the suit. An affidavit made by
Evelyn Nesblt to be used In the suit
Is In possession of the state and wit
| nesses have been found to whom the
young chorus girl. In a burst 6f confi
dence, showed lave letters from Harry
Thaw, on which thi suit was based.
She Feared Thaw.
According to the factB related to the
district attorney, Evelyn Xesblt left
l Harry Thaw In Paris because of his
erratic and cruel conduct. She feared
j him and returned to New York, taking
! apartments In a Broadway hotel. She
had with her a number of letters writ
ten to her by Thaw. In these he paint
ed a glowing picture of her life If she
married him.
Although *h* had voluntarily left
Thaw. Evelyn Xesblt expected to- re
cover a large sum of money from him.
As to the extent of White's Influence
In causing hor to take such a course,’
there 1s said to be positive evidence
that when she returned to Xew York

Following this the affidavit was

ry Kendall Thaw of the murder of
Stanford White. The prosecution ex
pects to gain possession of an affida
vit made by Mrs. Thaw In nn action
she contemplated bringing against" tho
young man before her marriage to him.

County Police Declare
. it is the Regu

That Atlanta butchers are dally
slaughtering cattle which aro not
for human food; that Atlanta meat
dealers aro dolly selling meat from such
animals to housekeepers throughout tho
city; that Atlanta citizens are dally
eating meats which would be condemn
by an Inspector who carried out the
laws of the city. Is the statement made
by members of the county police.
That there Is anything now In such
statement Is laughed at by the officers,
who say that It has been going on for
years. The casual discovery of one In
stance and a discussion of the recent
Investigations In Chicago following the
disclosures . mode in "The Junglo*
brought out the facta. *
Lost Tuesday afternoon Officer Dun
bar, of the county police, waa asked by
■ • Hi In* i’ii fh»* Miirlettn mud
assist her In finding a cow which had
strayed. The search took tho officer
Into a small slaughter house about
three miles from the city, where ho
failed to And the cow he wanted, but
found other things.
"They had Just slaughtered one cow, 1
said Officer Dunbar In answer to ques
lions, "which would havo given birth to
a calf within a vary short time. The
body of tho calf was token from Its
mother and I cannot say what was done
with It 1 have no reason to doubt that
the beef of tho cow woe sold to butch
era, as I know that this le done every
day. and has been done for years.
‘This occurred at a small slaughter
houno near the Marietta road, about
three miles from tho city. The place Is
used by a man named Burdotto or Bur-
dolt. I do not know his first nittno. lie
la a wholesale dealer and sells to tho
meat dealers In Atlanta."
Tho beef from a cow which Is In tho
condition described by tho i»filcer In
unfit for* food and Its nalo Ih forbidden
by every board of health In the
try. The laws fix the period after
calving nt which nn nnlinnl niny bo
slaughtered for food and tho Hash sold
Hsppsns Often.
‘That Is nothing,” euld Chief Tur
ner, of the county police department.
"There Is nothing new In It. Why,
know of hundreds of cases whero such
meat has boen sold. Every butcher
handles It. Not only in tho beef sold
from the cow, but In ninny Instances
ths unborn calf has been cut up and
sold for veal, though tho law requires
tlmt no calf welshing under fifty
pounds be slaughtered for murkot."#
If tho situation Is as described there
Is no safety In the mere nvoldance of
racking hnuso meat and products. Tho
nvcstlgntlon of the Chtcngo packing
houses hn« caused a heavy deprecia
tion In tho domand for Western meats
and many havo depended entirely upon
home products. It Is now shown that
nn Investigation of local slaughter

condition.
