"Well, wasn't I there?"
"Did you know Stanford White?"
"No, but I heard of him at that time."
"I will go to New York." said Dorn.

Inquiry Into Mental Condi
tion of the Prisoner.
NOT SEEKING EVIDENCE
Theatrical Man Believes Thaw Crazy,
Nevertheless District Attorney
Calls Actresses to Tell of
Thaw's Relations With Wife.
NEW YORK, July 10 Harry Kendall
Thaw today In the Tombs prison gave out
his first formal statement since he shot
and killed Stanford White on the Madison-Square
Garden roof. In It the young
man utters a protest against being re
garded as Insane and declares his counsel
assures him that no such course as the
appointment of a commission to inquire
into his mental condition is contemplated.
Tho statement was handed by Thaw in
person to newspaper representatives. He
gave It out without the permission of his
counsel, . with whom he pleaded all day to
be allowed to deny in person the current
reports as to his sanity, especially the
published report yesterday afternoon of &
purported Interview with one of his coun
sel, quoting the attorney as saying the
prisoner was undoubtedly insane. Toung
Thaw's statement follows:
Counsel Repudiates Interview.
"I am informed by Mr. Olcott and Mr.
Gruber that the interview with the latter
in one of the last evening's papers, quot
ing him (Gruber) to the effect that I am
now insane and that a lunacy commission
would be appointed to demonstrate that
fact, has no foundation whatever; that
Mr. Gruber never made such a statement
and that no such course is contemplated.
"Mr. Olcott further tells me that he did
not go to Philadelphia for the purpose of
seeing or Inquiring about Harriet Thaw
or her alleged insanity; and that his visit
had nothing whatever to do with the
question of my mental condition or that
of any member of my family." .
The statement was signed with the Ini
tial "H. K. T."
When asked If he had anything further
to remark. Thaw said:
'That statement embodies all that I
have to say."
Despite the rapid fire of questions
hurled at him by the reporters. Thaw re
mained smiling but noncommittal during
Hie four or five minutes he was with the
press representatives.
Lederer Thinks Thaw Crazy.
Assistant District Attorney Garvan
continued today vigorously to prosecute
his inquiry Into the case and had before
him several prospective witnesses. Among
them were James L. Lederer. of Philadel
phia, who was manager of the Wild Rose
Theatrical Company at the time Evelyn
Nesblt, now Mrs. Thaw, was a member
of the organization; May McKenzle, an
actress and friend of Mrs. Thaw, and
Mary Leahy. Mrs. Thaw's maid.
Mr. Lederer told the Assistant District
Attorney that it was his belief that young
Thaw Is crazy. He based his opinion on
the man's actions during the time Mlsa
Nesblt was a member of' the Wild Rose
Company. Miss McKensle and the maid
were questioned briefly, being told to re
port again next week for a further exam
ination. Edna McClure, the actress who
was examined by Mr. Garvan Saturday
afternoon, denied today that she made
any of the statements attributed to her in
the newspapers, saying specifically that
she did not tell the Assistant District At
torney of any threats she is supposed to
have heard Thaw make against White.
Witness Refused to Appear.
The District Attorney's office issued a
subpena this afternoon for Mrs. Beatrice
Schwartz to appear In John Doe proceed
ings before the grand Jury. It Is said
the District Attorney wishes to question
her as to alleged threats she overheard
Thaw made against White. Early in the
day counsel for Mrs. Schwartz declared
she would not appear.
Did Not Tell of Threats.
Edna McClure, the showgirl who ap
peared before Assistant District Attorney
Garvan last Saturday for examination,
said today that she .lid, not tell Mr. Gar
van of any threats made by Thaw against
White. She never heard such threats. She
said she told Mr. Garvan of many reporti
concerning Thaw. Mrs. Thaw and White,
which hnd reached her ears, but that of
their truth or falsity she had no knowl
edge. Judge Olcott has just returned from a
trip to Philadelphia in connection with
the case, and said regarding it:
"I secured what I went after. I can
say that my trip to Philadelphia was
wholly successful. I torn Harry Thaw
what I had learned and he was happy
over it. So was Mrs. Thaw."
Mrs. Thaw remained with her husband
about an hour and a half. After she had
left the prison. Thaw was visited by an
alienist, recently retained by the defense.
This was Dr. Charles L. Dana. Mr. Dana
brought a letter from Dr. Allan McLane
Hamilton, chief of the corps of alienists
in the service of Thaw's lawyers, and
after Thaw had read the letter, he sub
mitted to an examination.
Thaw's Violent Exercise.
When the time came for exercise in the
courtyard of the prison this afternoon.
Thaw decided to remain Indoors, telling
the warden that he was not feeling well.
This decision caused considerable discus
sion In the Tombs, and it was said that
during the morning exercise Thaw rushed
around the corridors as fast as he could
until he was exhausted. The prisoners
reported that Thaw's manner was wild
and that he went at such a pace that the
other prisoners exercising had to get out
of his way.
NEW WITNESS PROM PITTSBURG
Ready to Testify Whenever Mrs.
Thaw Wants Him.
PITTSBURG. July lO.-It was learned
here today that a' witness who will ap
pear In the Thaw case when it comes to
trial in New York will be Paul Dorn. of
Wllklnsburg, a suburb of this city, whom
Harry Thaw took to Europe several years
ago. Dorn said he had been Instructed
to keep his mouth shut and not to say
a word until he had heard from Thaw's
attorneys. When asked when he ex
pected to go to New York, Dorn said:
"I do not know, but I am ready to go
whenever Mrs. Thaw Is willing to give
me an interview, and I won't talk, either
in the court or out of it. until I have
eeen her."
"Did you ever meet Bedford, the valet,
whom Harry- Thaw engaged at South
ampton ?"
"Yes. I did. and It Is too bad that Bed
ford died."
Dorn was asked what he meant by that
and said:
"Well, he was a good fellow, and If he
ONE OF THAW'S CRAZY TRICKS
Climbed Over Hansom Cab Proof
of Hatred or White.
NEW YORK, July 10. James L. Lederer,
of Philadelphia, who was manager of the
"Wild Rose" company when Mrs. Thaw
was a member of the chorus, was ex
amined by Assistant District Attorney
Garvan today. Lederer is said to have
told Mr. Garvan that he had long be
lieved Thaw to be insane. This opinion,
he said, was based upon his observations
of Thaw during the time the "Wild Rose"
company was playing in this city. In this
connection he mentioned several incidents
in which Thaw was the central figure.
"It was common talk among all the
people who knew Thaw," said Lederer,
"that Thaw was a 'dope fiend." I recall
one night when Thaw was about to send
two of his chorus girl acquaintances home
in a hansom cab. He was there with a
friend of his named Mackay.
"Suddenly Thaw insisted on trying to
jump over the roof of the hansom. Of
course he could not actually jump over
the roof of the cab. but he tried and
succeeded in crawling up one side of the
cab, over the roof and down the other
side. Mackay remonstrated with him,
but It was no use. Then Mackay, appar
ently disgusted, turned aside and said,
'You can't do anything with a crazy
man; he's drug crazy.' "
While Thaw's counsel are collect
ing evidence with a view to prov
ing that he was Insane at the
time he killed Stanford White, As
sistant District Attorney Garvan con
tinues to seek witnesses who axe reported
to have heard Thaw threaten the man
who is supposed to have been his rival in
the affections of Evelyn Nesblt before
she became Mrs. Thaw. The theory of
the prosecution is that Thaw had no mo
tive for the shooting except hatred and
jealousy, dating from the time Evelyn
Nesbit consulted lawyers and made a
sworn statement reflecting upon the man
she soon afterward married.
Although the defense has adopted a pol
icy of silence, Terrence J. McManus, one
of Thaw's lawyers, said yesterday that If
any document purporting to be an affi
davit made by Mrs. Thaw was Introduced
It would be proved a fraud.
The presence of Mrs. William Hoi
man, mother of Mrs. Harry K. Thaw,
is said to be much desired at the Dis
trict Attorney's office. According to
the report, the attorneys who are at
work on the prosecution's case would
like to question Mrs. Holman partic
ularly with regard to one of the trips
to Europe made by Thaw and Evelyn
Nesbit. According to one story, while
Thaw and the girl were In London an
appeal was made to the American Em
bassy to break up the relations be
tween Thaw and Evelyn Nesbit and
have the girl sent home. This appeal,
it Is said, was made by Stanford White,
who acted on the request of Mrs.
Holman. It was said at this time, the
story goes, that Mrs. Holman was much
prejudiced against Thaw. It was said
today that if Mrs. Holman should come
within the territory covered by a sub
pena from the District Attorney she
would at once be summoned to his office.

DEATH "REVEALS FRAUDS AP
PROACHING $2,000,000.
Sold Lord's Estate and Gambled
Away Proceeds on Mining Stock.
Woman Iioses $500,000.
LONDON. July 10. Official and other
inquiries are on foot regarding the affairs
of Charles Chester, a solicitor who died
in May last, after having lost, It Is al
leged, between $1,500,000 and $2,000,000 of
his clients' money. The main losses affect
five Or six. including Lord Amherst, of
Hackney. The latter had sold Dldlington
Hall, Brandon, Norfolk, for a large sum
of money, a considerable portion of which
was held In the form of trust funds by
Chester.
It was at first thought Lord Amherst
was practically ruined. He, however, is
not the hardest hit. The heaviest loser
is said to be a woman, whose name Is
unknown, who Is out 1500.000.
It Is alleged that Chester's defalcations
extended over several years and were
largely the outcome of speculation in the
Stock Exchange, principally in mining
shares.
It Is thought the Inquiry will result in
the prosecution of several persons who
were privy to Chester's alleged frauds.

THE "CAMEL BIRD," OR OSTRICH
THE GREAT RUNNING BIRD of South Africa and the ostrich of this country, while of the same family, are much
different in characteristics. Here we will tell you of the South African ostrich, because of the plumes on exhibi
tion and sale today that are from that part of the world. The "camel bird," as the ostrich was called in times
past, is ihe largest bird in existence, being seven to eight feet tall and weighing fully 300 pounds. It has two toes on each
foot, with hoof-like nails. The black, or blackish plumage, is distributed uniformly over the skin. The quill plumes of
the wirMjs and tail are tipped with white. The neck and legs are practically bare. All in all, the ostrich presents a very
un-birdlike aspect. ' .
In- its wild state the ostrich roams the plains in company with the zebra, gnu and other wild animals, being, like
them, extremely alert and wary, as well as timid. So swift can this running bird of South Africa travel that even the Arab
on his blooded horse can scarcely overtake it. When in full swing it steps close to 25 feet at a stride. In breeding season
the ostriches form family parties one male and several females. The eggs, to the number of 50 or 60, are deposited in
a shallow depression surrounded bv a slight rampart of earth. At night, without exception, the male ostrich incubates
the eggs, while in the daytime the female birds take turns in guarding the nest and incubating. Out of the 50 or 60 eggs
laid, between 20 and 30 voting are hatched, the other eggs being broken for soft food for the young and the male bird.
During the brooding season the male protects his family faithfully, fighting viciously and kicking so powerfully that even
men and horses have been reported killed with a blow. Herbage is the chief food cf the ostrich, but they eat anycuing
edible, and swallow every kind of hard substance to grind their food. While the hard things they gulp down perform the
same functions as the gravel a chicken eats, still this trait has given the ostrich undeserved notoriety as to its digestive
capacity. The harder and wilder the ostrich lives, the tougher the flue of his plumage becomes. The more the bird
scratches 'round 'mong rocks and works for his food, the oilier and silkier becomes his feathers, and the longer and fuller
they grow, being hard and strong from constant feeding of oil through the skin. The domestic ostrich, not being forced
to work for what he eats, is not so hardy as the South African bird, and as a consequence his plumage tends toward
wooliness. The plumes on exhibition and sale here are from the largest ostrich farm in South Africa, where the birds
are permitted to run as wild as in their native state. The show is of triple interest because of its
Entertaining Features ! Educational Influences ! Economical Opportunities !
We want all men, women and children to consider this a personal invitation from OLDS, WORTMAN & KING to
attend this remarkable $10,000 ostrich plume exhibit and sale today and balance of week.

Elbow Gloves Good News
There's a shortage in long Gloves everybody knows about It;
even the newspapers are talking about It. Demand came so
strong as to take makers unawares and swept em off their
feet so to speak. But we've overcome the difficulty with
the extension Glove Tops, a prcttv and charming armlet that
reaches from the Glove to the, elbows, matches the Gloves
perfectly, and can't be detected without close Inspection
from the long Glove Itself. Prices 40c to $1.50
