X«w Yorlt, July 2S.—If Harry K.

Justification for .laying Btanford White

plans to UK tan affidavit by Hr*. C. J.
Holman, mother of Evelyn Neablt
Thaw, which I. expected to .hatter the
defense.
Thl« affidavit declare, that while
"Irs. Xesbtt and her daughter were In
ParlH with Thaw the latter demanded
that she sign a statement Maying that
Jhuw had never promised to marry her
oau.hter and never Intended to do «o.
This waa at the time Thaw had an
nounced that he and the girl were mar-
ned. He raid they were married, the
affidavit declare*, because the news

Paris' esb,t girl were living together In
To Show Hi. Hatrtd.
Thl. incident Is referred to In a num
ber of remarkable letters from the
mother to Stanford mite. By the tet-
lers and the affidavit the district at
torney expect, to show the cause of
Thaw-, hatred for White and a motive
■or the murder. Mrs. Holman, In Pltts-
hurg today, admitted the authorship of
■ne letters, but said’she was not re-
tponsible for their publication.
The letters ars considered as positive
‘vldence that Thaw was continually
J.rring with White over Evelyn Nes-
"t, while White, at the behest of the
mother, was using every effort to win
J*. r back. That White’, action was in-

of tbs mother was because of her.
attitude toward White and her post-
Horn toward her daughter. The de-
fen.c ridicules the statement that
White was actuated by purely unselfish
motives In his efforts to take the girl
away from Thaw In his role of a bene-
fatcor to the Neabtt family.
Hai<trldge Is Acknowledged.
George B. Carnegie, Thaw's brother-
in-law, referred Inquirers to Mr. Har-
tridge, which aeems to Indicate that
Thaw’a selection of a lawyer has Anally
been accepted by his family.
Mothsr Roasts Thaw.
Mrs. Holman, In letters she wrote
White, referred to Thaw ae a scoundrel,
a villain and a man with murderous
Intent In his heart. She called her
daughter Florence.
Here Is one of the letters:
'•Dear Mr. White: Your letter re
ceived. Will send FloYence'e letter as
you desired. When we first went to
Paris and met Thaw he and Florence
quarreled continually. We were—at
least I waa—Indeed miserable. I ex
pected each day to hear her say *<•
would return to America. Thaw came
to me, asked me to sign a paper. The
article was that he did not intend to
marry Florence. I thought, as she
hated him, I was doing the right thing.
I do hope something cSn be done to
save her from hlin. Fie does not Intend
to marry her. I only hope when she
hears about the paper that her pride
will at least save her.”
In another letter the girl’s mother
tells White:
"I am simply tortured with reporter*.
My head has simply been splitting for
a week. You have rib Idea how dis
graceful this affair I* to Pittsburg peo
ple They drive me wild, telling me to
take action; that she Is not of age. Mr.
White, please do try to talk to her. She
|g too young to understand now she l*
being wronged. I hope I hear from
you very soon.” >
She Fcsred Trouble. t
When Thaw and the Kesblt girl re
turned to New York and were put out
of several hotels, Mrs. Holman feared
that her son, Florence's brother, might
cause trouble, a* he had heard that
Here Is what Mrs. Holman then wrote
th 'norence h»<F asked Howard -to visit
her at Christmas time. Do you think It
would be right when she 1# In the hor
rible position she seems In? She says
she Is not married. Howard Is not a
child, and he has heard some horrible
expressions from the boys at school.
Oh! how horribly she has disgraced pa
all. I am heartsick, and Mr. Holman
feels It so. People In Pittsburg talk
awfully, and the men hate him 10. The
wretched beast sent articles to the pa
pers of Pittsburg. He did all he could
to get meto.aay something to he coulfl
publish that awful itory he had made
up, saying I sold my daughter. I cer
tainly did not. Howard will soon be
home. He will be a great comfort He
Is learning to obey, and I am grateful
to you for It. I hope you are well
and that I .may hear from you. Do you
know If Florence Is mafrled?"
