MRS. THftW SAYS
SHE WILL TELL (ILL
Ordeal Will Be Borne Without
Flinching to Be of Service
to Her Husband.
FIRST MARRIED ABROAD
Wife of the Pittsburg Millionaire
Homicide Denies the Statement
Made by Valet Bedford Just
Before His Death.
NEW YORK, July 3. "When the
time comes I shall be only too glad to
talk and tell all. I shall not flinch at
the ordeal, nor will I break down. My
one thought now is to be of service to
my husband." This statement was made
by Mrs. Harry K. Thaw Just before she
was admitted to see her husband at the
Tombs today, and is the first time she
has consented to talk of her probable
attitude In the coming trial of Thaw
for the murder of Stanford White.
Mrs. Thaw also denied the statement
In the ante-mortem testimony of Valet
Bedford, to the effect that she was not
married to Thaw abroad, previous to
the ceremony performed by Kev. Dr. W.
L. McEwan in Pittsburg, at the request
of Thaw's mother.
"I was married to Mr. Thaw abroad."
said Mrs. Thaw, "before the ceremony in
this country, and I gave the proof, all
statements to the contrary notwith
standing. I shall produce the proof at
the trial."
Mrs. Thaw paid her usual -.isit to her
husband at the Tombs today, remaining
In conversation with him for a consid
erable time. She was awaited outside
by the usual large crowd of curiosity
seekers that gather each day to watch
her come and go.
Ex-Judge Olcott, Thaw's chief coun
sel, had a conference with his client
this afternoon. He was accompanied
by a Mr. Keck, who is said to be the
attorney for the Thaw family at Pitts
burg. When Judge Olcott left, he car
ried with him a bundle of about 70 let
ters which Thaw had received through
the malls. Judge Olcott stated that,
owing to the number of letters sent
dally to Thaw, he would have some
member of the law firm open them in
the future before they reach him, and
thus save the young man considerable
annoyance.
Assistant District Attorney Garvin
today assumed possession of the re
ports of the three detectives Rocke,
McDonald and Raleigh who were em
ployed by Thaw to watch the move
ments of Stanford White.
Thaw will go to trial on the charge
of killing White on his simple plea of
"not guilty." the time limit for Inter
posing any motion or demurrer by
counsel having expired today.
FIRST MARRIED WHILE ABROAD
Mrs. Thaw Says Second Ceremony
Was at Request of Thaw's Mother.
NEW YORK, July 3. "I was married
to Mr. Thaw while we were abroad and
before the ceremony in this country. All
the statements to the contrary are un
true. I have the proof, which will be pro
duced at the trial. If the valet. Bedford,
said we were not married. I am very
much surprised, but do not t"hink he said
any such thing."
This statement was made by Mrs. Har
ry K. Thaw. It was called forth by a
statement made public by the District
Attorney's office yesterday following the
death of Thaw's valet, William Bedford.
Mrs. Thaw said the second marriage
ceremony at Pittsburg was performed In
compliance with the request of Mr.
Thaw's mother.
Counsel for Thaw decided today not to
take advantage of the reservation made
a week ago. when the prisoner entered a
formal plea of not guilty. T'nder reserva
tion they could have made any one of
three moves. They could have demurred
to the Indictment; made a motion for the
Inspection of the minutes of the grand
jury, or enter a plea of Insanity. The
matter was permitted to go by default,
however, the tlmo limit expiring today
without any actlnr. having been taken by
Thaw's attorneys.
Mrs. Thaw mado her usual dally visit
to her husband In the Tombs today. She
remained with him for some time. Be
fore leaving the Tombs, after her visit
to her husband. Mrs. Thaw made the first
public announcement that she will tell
her story at her husband's trial. To a
party of newspaper men. In the corridors
of the prison, she said:
"When the proper time comes, T will
speak and tell all I know; until then I
must be silent.
The largest crowd which has gathered
around the Tombs since Thaw has been
a prisoner was waiting for her when she
left the building, and a large additional
force of police was called before a pas
sageway could be mn.de for her from the
prison door to her cab. Just across the
sidewalk.
MOTHER HEARS OF TRAGEDY
Earl or Yarmouth Meets Mrs. Thaw
at Dock and Takes to Home.
TTLBURY. England. July 3. The news
of the tragedy In the Madison-Square
roof garden. New York, July 2o. when
Harry K. Thaw shot and killed Stanford
White, had not been communicated to his
mother. Mrs. Thaw, when the Atlantic
Transport Line steamer Minneapolis, from
New York. June 23, docked here this
morning. Extraordinary precautions were
taken on hoard to keep any Inkling of the
tragedy from her until relatives were able
to break the news. Mrs. Thaw, who had
been unusually cheerful throughout the
voyage, ws met by her son-in-law, the
Earl "of Yarmouth, and Blair Thaw, who
came to Tilbury to welcome her. and her
face was wreathed In smiles when she
landed.
As she stepped ashore, -Mrs. Thaw was
surrounded by friends and detectives, the
latter being detailed to prevent any
stranger from approaching her. After
landing Mrs. Thaw and her party boarded
a special train, from which reporters were
expressly excluded. As the train pulled
out of the station Mrs. Thaw was still
smiling, apparently in ignorance of the
tragedy. The Earl of Yarmoutn said that
he would not break the news to her until
they reached the house.
She narrowly escaped hearing the news
at the dock. While the Earl of Yarmoutn
was talking to American press representa
tives, a reporter for an English news
paper attempted to speak to Mrs. Thaw
but the Earl Intervened Just In time to
save her from getting the first news from
a stranger. Wireless messages contain
ing the news were received on board the
Minneapolis, but the captain, having been
so advised, suppressed them.
On her arrival in London. Mrs. Thaw
was driven to the residence of the Earl
of Yarmouth, where the news of the trag
edy at New York was broken to her. She
bore up splendidly. She has not decided
upon her future movements.
The wireless news was first received off
Cape Cod. The captain took it to Miss
Copley, who 'is traveling with Mrs. Thaw
and has her confidence, and the report of
the tragedy spread among the passengers.
Nevertheless, it did not reach Mrs. Thaw.
When the newspapers were taken on
board the Minneapolis at Gravesend this
morning, the captain ordered that all ref
erence to the tragedy be cut out. Mrs.
Thaw received one of the mutilated pa
pers, but she did not ask any questions.
TESTIMONY IS SENSATIONAL
Witness Implicates Judge and sher
iff in Macrum Murder.
BEATT YVILX.E, Ky.. July 3. A sen
sation was caused here today, where
the trial of ex-Judge Hargis and ex
Sheriff Callahan, of Breathitt County, on
the charge of murdering James Mar
cum. has just begun, by the announce
ment that Asbury Spicer had made a
confession implicating the two chief
defendants.
The day Marcum was killed, Spicer
was in Jackson, ho alleges, and a few
minutes before the killing he was sent
by Jim Hargis to get Tom White, and
was later dispatched to Ed Callahan to
get Curtis Jett. A few minutes later,
while he (Spicer) was in the Hargis
store, two shots rang out and Marcum
fell dead in the front door of the Court
house. Spicer said that just a few
days before the killing of Marcum he
was offered 3500 to kill the attorney,
but refused, as he had done before when
made an offer to kill Jim Cockrell.
The selection of a jury to try Judge
James Hargis of Breathitt County,
charged with the murder of James B.
Marcum, will begin Wednesday morning,
and every effort will be made to go into
the case not later than Friday. Judge
Dorsey announced he would use every
process of law to get absent witnesses,
and appointed Elbert Hargis, George
Spencer and Arch Crawford special elisors
to go to Morgan, Perry, Leslie and Ma
goffin Counties to serve attachments ar
rest on missing witnesses.
Asbury Spicer, who told of plots against
Dr. B. D. Cox, in Jackson last month,
held a long conference with attorneys
for the commonwealth today and told of
alleged plots which he was In to kill
Marcum and James Cockrill.
Several fights occurred today, because
of alleged attempts to intimidate wit
nesses for the prosecution. Both Tom
Cockrill and Anse White were arrested
for alleged assaults committed on
"Breck" Combs and "Gran" Spicer. More
killings are almost certain to occur dur
ing the trial.
WATCH ON SANTO DOMINGO
United States Government Will Pre
serve Status Quo by All Means.
WASHINGTON, July 3. (Special.)
The Administration does not propose to
be hampered in its Dominican fiscal
policy by the failure of the Senate to
ratify the treaty with Santo Domingo.
The status quo is to be preserved in
that turbulent republic by force of
arms, if necessary, until some binding
agreement Is established, by which 55
per cent of the customs now being col
lected by Receiver Colton may be dls
trbuted among the Dominican creditors
in a systematic and equitable manner.
While it is denied at the State De
partment that advices of a concerted,
movement against the present regime
in Santo Domingo have been received
in Washington, it is frankly admitted
by the highest authority that the
American naval forces in Dominican
waters are to be materially increased,
in order to preserve the control of the
situation, despite all eventualities. For
this purpose tlte cruiser Columbia, with
400 marines, in addition to her regular
complement, will be dispatched imme
diately from Colon to Santo Domingo.
The Columbia, with her floating bar
racks of marines, has been on watch at
the Isthmus or several weeks, in antic
ipation of possible election troubles
in the Republic of Panama. The elec
tions being over, the Columbia is avail
able for Dominican service.

BTJRXS AXOXE IX STEEPIE
Watchman Perishes in Destruction
of St. Michael's Twenty Missing.
HAMBURG, July 3. St. Michael's
r-Vmrrh one of the most Interesting build
ings in Hamburg, was totally destroyed
by fire this afternoon. The fire broke out
in the steeple, where workmen were re
pairing the clock, and Is supposed to
have been due to carelessness. The fire
spread rapidly, and the steeple, wmcn was
426 feet high, fell In less than 40 minutes
from the time the fire started.
The flames communicated with adjoin
ing bulldlngsi several of which burned so
rapidly that the fire seemed to get out
of control. A department store occupying
three buildings was gutted. When the
steeple fell the thousands of people who
hart eathered in the streets gave vent to
groans that were audible above the roar
of the flames.
In all 12 houses were entirely destroyed,
while more than 20 other buildings were
damaged.
Twenty persons are missing. The fire
watchman, who lived in the steeple,
sounded the electric alarm, but his re
treat was cut off. Three workmen who
were repairing the clock also perished,
and 30 firemen were injured, two of them
dangerously.
At a late hour tonight the fire was
still burning, but was under control and
its further spread is Improbable. Only
the walls of the church are standing.
The church was one of the city's objects
of pride. It was built of brick and was
erected on the site of the ancient church
that was burned in 1750 as the result of
being struck by lightning.
NEED ENGLISHMEN IN CONGO
Half Dozen, Says Lord Lansdowne,
Worth Whole Row of Officials.
LONDON, July 3. In the House of
Lords the question of the Congo Inde
pendent State was discussed. Lords Fltz
maurice, Lansdowne and others com
plained that the recent decrees gave no
real security for the effective adminis
tration of Justice, and commented on the
apparent apathy of the powers.
Lord Lansdowne, in the course of a
striking speech, said the attitude of the
Congo Independent State had been un
satisfactory throughout and could never
be more unsatisfactory than now. He
could scarcely believe, he said, that the
powers would acquiesce in the claim of
the sovereignty of the Congo Independent
State In the shape in which it has most
recently been presented.
"If the abuses are continued, we should
claim our right to appoint Consuls In the
Congo. Lord Lansdowne added. He said
he thought the time opportune for the
signatory powers at Berlin to act and
hold another conference to consider the
whole question. Personally he should bo
delighted to see the Congo State trans
ferred to the Belgian government. He be
lieved the presence there of half a dozen
Englishmen would be worth quite as much
as a "whole row" of inspectors and offi
cials belonging to the Congo State.

retirement of the Americans, announce
that they will readily comply with the
conditions."
