WEATRER
MURDER
AMONG THE
UPPER TEN
(Scrlpps Newa Association)
New York June 26 When Harry Ken
dall Thaw was arrainged this morning
before the police court and accused of
murdering Stanford White last night he
still wore his draggled evening clothes,
The police searched unsuccessfully all
jht for Thaw's wlf.
SPENT HOURS IN RESTAURANT
Thaw and White were together in the
Burns restaurant many hours Sunday
night engaged in earnest conversation.
At two thirty in the morning they left
after having discussed past relations be
tween White and Evelyn Nesbitt, who is
the cause cf Thaw's hatred to White,
THAW PHOTOGRAPHED
Police Captain Hodging handcuffed
Thaw himself this morning and took him
to police headquarters where th; accused
murderer was photographed for the
rogue's gallery. He was lined up with
pickpockets and pretty thieves and forced
o through the regular routine which
all prisoners must pass. When returning
from the police court this morning, Thaw
tried to shield himself as best he could
from photographers whom he met
Jefferson avenue. .
on
. He will be defended by the famous Dan
O'Reilly a criminal lawyer. This famous
irishmen defended Nan Patterson. Thaw
was remanded to appear before the coro
ners jury.
The police have located Evelyn Nesbitt
but have not molested her. Detectives
are watching her until her part of the
tragedy is explained. Thaw was cool
last night but this morning's ordeal has
changed him to a nervous wreck.
Burr Mcintosh visited Thaw at the
police court as he is an old friend of the
family. The prisoner thanked him for
coming and said he was the only friend he
had seen this morning, and asked him to
get some breakfast. Mcintosh soon re
turned with a bowl of mill, crackers and
peaches.
THAW A WEALTHY SOCIETY MAN
The accused man has been prominent
in Endless Array
in society and society, scandals for some
time. Not long ago be sailed for Europe
with' Miss Evelyne Nesbitt because her
parents objected to the engagement.
Gossip has it that they were never
married, but the coup's themselves c'aim
they were. When tha party returned to
America a hatred of Thaw to the murd
ered man grew to such an extent that
it became puclic information and if the
accusation against the young man is cor
rect, it termenated in the murder of
White.
ADMITS HE SHOT HIM
The proceedings before the coroner were
very brief. A patrolman said on tie affi
davit that Thaw said to him, "I shot
him." Thaw was held without bail and
sent to the Tombs where the police quickly
found him a business suit for his apart
ments to take the place of the evenin,
dress he still wore.

JIMMIE BEAVERS MAY RECOVER
Late Sunday evening Sheriff TomJohn
son saw a saddled horse coming; into
the city riderless. Upon inquiry he dis
covered that the horse belonized to Rob
ert Kelley and also learned that Jim
Beavers had left the Kelly barn about
six in the evening with the horse. Mr.
Kelley became alarmed and started in
search of the missing man. Beavers
had started for Deal canyon: and there it
was that the search was commenced.
However when the party reached the
mouth of the canyon another man had
accidently found the unconscious body of
Beavers. A cab and a Dhvsieian wr
hastily telephoned for and the injured
man brought to the city and placed in
Mr. Kelley's house. Doctors Rumor, .nj
Richardson did everything within their
power to restore hirri, but it availed
notting other than at one time he seemed
to realize someone was talkino tn him
and answered with an almost inaudible
moan. This was about ten nV.inrU
Mr. Beavers is a very popular young
man and has made his home with C. W.
Scriber for several yeais, and was em
ployed by Robert Kelly and Mr.
Scriber jointly.
All night long friends remained ai the
bedside awaiting anxiously for a sign of
returning consciousness. Late Monday
morning he awoke long enough to say
that the horse threw him. However this
may be only partly true, as the horse
was somewhat bruised on its shoulder
indicating, it seems, that the horse fell,
throwing its riber and then fell upon him .
After his brief speech he seemed to sink
again and suffsred another bad hemor
rhage. His long ard silent sleep continued
up to this morning, making a total of over
thirty-six hours. By noon today he knew
very one in the room but was delirious
and is liable to suffer a relapse at any
moment. As yet no broken bones have
been discovered, and in fact the attend
ing physicians are unable to locate the
xact seat of the injuries.
