Agen 8an Franolsco C THAW IN JAIL (Continued from page I) say anything, coroner; but I wish you would notify my lawyer. Mr. lVlnlleld and Mr. Longfellow." "They have Iwn untitled. They are out of town," the coroner replied. 'Then 1 wish you would notify Joseph H. Choate or .ludgi- llornhovtr," Thaw said. All thi time Thaw was pacing up ntnl down in his cell, lie had put on his long dres overcoat mid was wearing his straw hat, ns if oxpocting to secure his release when his counsel should come. Captain llodgiiu -aid he hud talked with Thaw and the latter acted in a dazed manner. "I thought he seemed out of his head." said the captain. No further statement was secured. Thaw was unable to reach hi counsel early today and finally consented to ac cept Daniel O'lteillv. who will represent him in court this morning. Policeman Harry Debt?, who arrested Thaw, gave this account of the shooting: "I found the people almost tnuy, try ing to get out of the place. I jumped into the mob and saw a woman lying down. She had fainted, and then I saw White, "I said to Thaw, 'did you do it!' and he replied. 'Yes, I did it. That man ruined my life, or wife.' I don't know which he said, but it sounded like that. Theu he went on, saying: 'That man ruined my home. I guts he won't ruin any more home. Is he dead!' I told him he wa and he said he wa damned glad of it. and he was glad h.- 'made a good job of it.' "When I arrested Thaw a woman, who Manager Lionel Lawrence told me was Mrs. Thaw, rushed up to Thaw and kissed him. and said: "I did not think you'd do it in that way.' it i all right. It is all right.' Thaw told her. Then she whispered something into hi ear. I don't know what she said to him. Women Are Sympathetic. "Down in the hall and in the street a lot of women gathered about us and shook hand with Thaw and sympathized with him. 'Why did you do it? Why did you do it!' they kept asking. Cap tain Hodgins, Sergeant McCann, Lawyer Daniel O'Reilly and Burr Mcintosh had a conference with Thaw shortly after 3 o'clock this morning, but if he told them anything they declined to divulge its im port. White's body, covered by a sheet, lay in the spot where it had fallen until early this morning. The coroner, after an examination, said that one bullet hud hit White between the shoulders and had perforated his lung. The second had entered the left eye and had conic out on the right side of the head. Thi seemed to indieafc-, according to this of ficial, that after the first shot in the back White had tried to wheel on his assailant and had turned only half around as the bullet literally went through the corner of his head in a glancing direction. That the second shot did not bit another in the crowd of more than a thousand per-ons present wa re markable. It was reported this morning that Mrs. Thaw had been heard to direct that she le driven to 148 West Forty-ninth street. She was not found at this address, how ever. Crowd at the Police Station. Well unto 4 o'clock this morning a big rowd surrounded the police station, with every little while some alleged friend of Thaw trying to get to sec him, until a special detail of officers was required to keep the crowd in check. Lawrence White, son of the murdered man, was informed of the tragedy about midnight. He went to Madison Square Carden, and after arranging for the care of the body, summoned hi father's partner, Mr. McKim, and both drove awav. It is beucveu they went to a Long Island town, where Mrs. White is ill, to break the news to her. The tragedy, while a shock to the friends of both men, was not altogether surprise to them. They knew, and have known for several years that against the architect, Thaw had the most bitter feeling. It dated back to the time when he firt fell in love with the young woman who now is his wife. He made no secret of this feeling. It had come to the ears of White, and his friends had often discussed it with him; some had even warned him to be careful, but, declaring that there was no reason for the feeling, the architect went about his business as usual. Mr. and Mrs. Thaw lived in Pittsburg and the incident was fast becoming forgotten un til the early part of this spring, when the young couple came to this city and took apartments. The warnings were renewed then, particularly by White's intimate friends. Beginning of Tragedy. The beginning of the tragedy of last night was in the. Cafe Martin, at .the dinner hour. Its end was on the roof a few . minutes after ll o'clock. In the first. Bcone, Mr., and Mrs. Thaw, he'HPa-4 ther and another man, were dining to gether" when Mr. White and two other men entered and took places nearby. Ac- cording to Mr. Thaw's own words to a reporter, he did not know of the proenee of the architect until the agitation of his wife attracted his attention. He flsked a quest ion, to be answered by a note, saying: "That dirty blackguard Is here." White left the cafe soon afterward, visiting his studio ill the tower of Madi son Nquaiv (iarden, which Is one of the many building be designed, then going to his club, ami finally to the roof garden. Mr. ami Mrs. Thaw were there. Mr. Thaw had gone back of the scenes to visit some friends and immediately her husband began pacing up and down the Hour. It was while Thaw was on the western side of the building that White t-aino in ainl sat down, chattel a moment with Harry Stevens, mid then as Steven left, looked at the stage. Thaw watched him a moment from one of the entrances, then Ihiiii to thread hi way forward. Without looking to the riglil or leti. brushing Into several men mid women, he walked slowly toward the table, until he leaned forward over its t'dge opposite to his victim. Victim Recognii Thaw. A he tlid this White reciiguined him and made a move us if to arise. Hut there was 110 time. With ome muttered imnrecation the young man. drawing a jlU),t, nuttniiati revolver, began tiring Three shots rang out, but two took ef feet, and White was dead. I timing. Thaw faced the audience, and "broke" the wenMn, throwing all the cartridges out. and started away. It was then he was arrested ami so on, Afterward Mr. Thaw rushed up and putting her arm about hi neck kied him. A statement credited to Thaw immediately after the arrest is this: "We were all at a party in Mutiiis. ! You can find out the names of the others there, but I was sitting some distance from my wife. Suddenly I ' her 't very pale and ltegin to shiver, ami I thought she wa ill. 'i made a motion to inquire what w,i the matter and she called a waiter and wrote a note which she sent around the table to me. "The note said, 'The dirty blackguard is here.' Then 1 turned and uw that fat scoundrel sitting there, big and healthy, and then I saw her and how she wa." "Did White make any motion to at tack you." "What!" said Mr. Thaw. The question was repeated. Thaw nodded hi head in the affirma tive. From his pocket when he wa searched there was token a leather revolver shield such as policemen carry their weapons in. lie had fion in casn ami serri blank checks, besides a gold cigarette J eae. I Thaw Appears Calm. ! Mr. Thaw did. not display the least anxiety about hi own welfare nor about the effects of his shots. He never akcd a question about White. He did not nsk j any questions of the police at all. ' lie seemed as unconcerned a if bail- ! ing out a chauffeur instead of facing nn accusation of murder. ' As he talked with a reporter he reiter- ated again and again to his wife's at-1 tack of shiver when she saw White in Martins. ! "That poor delicate little thing, all ; nervous and shaking like a reed," he J said, half to himself. "And there he, was, the big healthy scoundrel. Cod!" William Thaw, a nephew of the man j charged with Stanford White's killing, was in the city yesterday and left for Pittsburg on an evening train. Shooting is Dramatic. There were many dramatic incidents connected with the shooting. It was just as one of the characters was sing ing, "and now let the duel go on," that the first shot was heard. Manager Lawrence of the theater was one of the first to realize that it was no stage re- j volver that had cracked and jumping to! a table commanded his chorus to con- j tinue singing; but the girls on the stage had seen White fall ami several fainted, j F.ven then the audienec was not fully j alive to the situation and it was not until ; it was announced than an accident had j happened did the. excitement begin. j Stanford White was the son of liichanl Crant While, and Alexina H. Metis. Hi j father was well known ns a critic, ! journalist, and essayist, and for more 1 than 20 years served as chief of the United States revenue marine bureau for the district of New York. The American head of the family was John White, who came to this country in 10.')2 from Eng land as a passenger on the ship Lion and settled at Cambridge, Mass. It was said this morning that when Miss Ncsbit came to New York with her mother from Pittsburg, Mr. White was one of their friends. When Miss Nebsit, as a girl of 16, showed a desire to go on the stage Mr. White aided her in getting a start. She had been an artist's model; ami Mr. White intcrestel George W. Lederer in pictures of her. After she had gone on in "The Wild Rose' 'and had made a hit, Mr. White was often Keen in her, company.
