Mania for Champagne Perma-

Said to Be Dangerous.
GIFTS FROM FAMILY CEASE
Former Actress Says She Was Ac
corded Fine Treatment as Long as
Husband's Life Was In Danger.
She Fears Him if Free.
NEW YORK, Aug. 3. (Special.) In
a statement given to a New York
paper tonight Evelyn Nesbtt Thaw,
wife of Henry Kendall Thaw, who
killed Stanford White, told for the first
time many facts bearing on the trag
edy and announced her reasons for be
lieving her husband should be confined
permanently in the hospital for tile
criminal insane at Matteawan.
"The public has an idea I have
turned against my husband and that
some hatred for him or his family in
duced me to testify against him," said
Mrs. Thaw. -I didn't testify against
him, and I have no hatred; I pity, him.
Twice I have testified, not against him,
but against his release. I want him
held in Matteawan as long as I live,
for he has threatened to kill me should
he be liberated."
"Do you think he would ultimately
kill you?" was asked.
Rennlt of Drinking Fearrd.
"He would if he drank champagne,"
she replied, "but not if he remained
sober. You could no more keep him
from champagne than you could keep
a fish from water. That is his great
trouble. He won t drink ordinary liq
uor, but he will stick to champagne,
which inflames his mind in a most
curious way. Just a little champagne
and he becomes an entirely different
individual. When sober Harry was
cowardly in his physical dealings with
men, but let him drink a few glasses
of wine and he would immediately
Imagine he was the real and only white
hope. If this were to happen now he
would have no hesitancy in fighting
Jack Johnson. As a result of such
fistic delusions he became embroiled in
trouble and was nearly whipped."
"Don't you think Thaw could be re
leased provided he was placed in
charge of some one who could control
him?"
Thaw Lair Into Himself.
"No," Mrs. Thaw answered. "There
are two reasons why he couldn't. In
the first place the man or woman does
not live who could control him. In the
second, he would immediately take to
drink. Harry is a law unto himself.
He makes his own rules and remakes
them to changed conditions or to meet
the exigencies of his whims. I could
do nothing with him, yet he profesBed
deep love for me."
Mrs. Thaw was asked concerning any
arrangement made with her prior to
Harry's first murder trial in 1907.
"No money or other offer was made
me," said Mrs. Thaw. "Just before the
trial D. 1L Delmas, Harry's chief coun
sel, came to me and said: "Mrs. Thaw,
In the palm of your hand you. hold the
life of Harry Thaw, and he is your
husband. It remains for you to save
him or lose him. If you d not testify
for him the element of sympathy vill
be lacking. If you do not go on the
stand in his behalf, he will be electro
cuted.' Wife Agrreea to Tell All.
"He told me also to think It over,
and I did. It meant my utter ruin and
degradation.
"I told Mr. Delmas I would go on
the stand and tell all, all. all, all, down
to the last degrading word. My hus
aand could have my life to use to his
Dwn ends.
"For a time afterwardr flowers came
to me daily from the Thaws and with
them tender messages. There were
more substantial gifts. My rent was
oaid and I received $1000 a month. If
t ran up bills they were paid wltho' t
juestion.
"This went on until Thaw was sent
:o Matteawan. Then the Thaws had
no further use for me."
