N'ew York, July 7.—The district at
torney's office succeeded today In lo
cating the record of the affidavit al
leged to have been signed by Evelyn
Nesblt Thaw In her contemplated ac
tion against Harry Kendall Thaw for
breach of promise..
That Harry Kendall Thaw thrust a
revolver against the head of the beau
tlful Evelyn Nesblt In a paroxysm of
nnger and chagrin, threatened to kill
her when she first revealed to him the
part White had played In her life, was
one Of the sensational charges. It was
learned todfiy. In the affidavit which
she l» alleged to have signed as the
first step In an action for breach of
promise.
She Pleaded Piteously.
It was only her piteous pleadings at
the time that dtasauded Thaw from
his determination and saved him then
from having blood on his hand as later
she became the cause of the same re
sult. .
It was learned that, although the
original affidavit was destroyed after
the marriage of Evelyn Nesblt and the
man who' killed Stanford White, the
famous architect, a copy Is still In the
hands of a noted lawyer of this city. It
was also ascertained today that When
the original paper was drawn up In the
i,nice of Howe & Hummel, Stanford
White was present, and was represent
ed by former District Attorney Delaney
Nlcoll, who. It was said, would mate
rially aid the prosecution.
To Frighten Mrs. 'Thaw.
The copy of the alleged affidavit does
hot, of course, contain the signature of
Evelyn Nerblt, Thaw, but it was be
lieved by the prosecution that this rec
ord would serve to keep Evelyn Nesblt
Thaw from taking the witness stand
In defense of her husband.
With the discovery that the record
of the whole alleged breach of promise
proceedings Is still In existence, the
prosecution became certain that 'hi*
could be held over the head of the wife
and that It would be successful In
frightening her so that ahe will refuse
to testify.

of hugging In public, the court would suggeat the establishing of a time

In a trial Saturday morning In police
court. Recorder Broyles waa called on
to make a ruling aa to the length of
time It Is proper for a man to hug his
wife.
Judge Broyles held that It Is eml
nently legal and proper for • man. to
hug hln wife whenever he so desires,
but ruled that this popular manifesta
tion of affection should be limited
when In public. The court declared
that fifteen minutes for one hug In pub

This ruling was made In Ihe case of
II. O. Breedlove, whose name Itself Is
amorous, a well dressed young man
whose home Is at 67 Weyman street,
and of whom neighbors had oomplalnsd
In regard to his public display of af

and his wife are said lo have fondly

Finally, this public hugging began to
annoy the neighbors, and especially
those of the gentler sex. One witness
declared In court that the continued ex

nervous and they could stand It no
longer. It played on the nerves of the

by the Democrats. He la la flavor of

Here Is a statement given out by
hltn last night:
"1 would Ilka to stale very positively
that I am not a candidate for the

stltute Htovenson for Dailey.
Sir. Bryan’s services to the Democ
racy are too well dlagnoeed to be re
hearsed. He has led the party con
spicuously In two presidential cam
paigns and one senatorial campaign. In
the national house of congress ha has
made the Issues himself and expound
ed them with a brilliancy unequaled
and unapproarhed.
Sir. Folk's servlets to the Democ

his services have been rendered to all
