New York, July 10.—The sight of

that threatened to wreck the place.

and officials of the Friend's Asylum are
expected to be called as witnesses In

Southerner a Witness.
The, district attorney's office today
discovered the woman who will be the
star witness for the prosecution
against Thaw If he comes to trial for
the murder of White. She Is Mrs.
Beatrice Schwarts, and was an Intim
ate friend of Thaw and Evelyn Nes
bit. She was also acquainted with
White and waa present when Thaw, In
a rage, drew a revolver from hla pock
et and declared that he would yet kill
White.
She will be able to awear under oath
that when she told White of Evelyn
Nesblt's marriage to Thaw White said
“Poor Kid,” Said Whits.
■'Poor, wayward 'kid.' That Is the
heat thing that could possibly have
happened to her,”
Mrs. Schwarts'a flrst husband was a
relative of the late United States Sen
ator Oorman. She afterward married,
while abroad, a wealthy Alsatian from
Whom she separated some years ago.
She comes of a prominent Southern
family.
“Thaw Was ‘Dope Fiend.’”
James I* Lederer, a brother of
George Lederer, manager of the Casino
theater while Evelyn Nesbit was n
member of the chorus of “The Wild
Rose." and hlmaalf manager of the
company, was sharply questioned by
Assistant District Attorney Oarvln to
day. Lederer aald he believed Thaw-
Insane now and hefore the night he
killed Stanford White, and In addition
that White had never, through his re
lations with Evelyn Nesbit, given Thaw
any Justification for killing him.
"It was common talk’ among oil tlio
people who knew Thaw,” said Lederer,
"that Thaw waa a ‘dope’ flend. I know
that White was a splendid man. Mis
Interest In Evelyn Nesbit was a Mr-
fscliy proper one. Of course, he liked
beautiful women, but 1 would wager
my last dollar that there was never a
Shadow of a Just reason fbr Thaws
act." „

outside the place with a bundle of
American flags. They were part of the
Fourth of July decorations. With the
stars and stripes the workmen began
to rub the windows and polish the
brass trimmings.
A crowd of cltlsens were the flrst to
notice and they began to throw rocks
at tha cleaners. Then men who were
passing took a hand.
The two workers were husky chape
of the "bouncer" type and In two min

others threw rocks at the place, break

the sign.
After a conf*rence tha employees
took the flags Inside and promised to

near the scene until the crowd dla
