Pittsburg, Aug. 29. Mrs. Wil
liam Thaw, the rapidly aging and
devoted mother of Harry Thaw, ba9
decided to cut loose from all connec
tion with Pi tsburg, where the
Tbaw millions were made, and with
this purpose in view, Lindhurst,
her famous $400,000 residence here,
has bsen offered for sale. The rest
of the property owned by Mrs.
Thaw will also be sold, the under
standing among her friends being
that she will only retain her Penn
sylvania railroad bonds as souve
nirs of Pittsburg.
The reason advanced by Mrs.
Thaw to her friends for leaving
Lindhurtt and severing all ties of
Pittsburg is that she must devote
the rest of her life to hereon Harry.
It is her hope that he will escape

sent to an meaoe asylum, she will
remain close to him. Should
