wa-consumed in paying off of old

Thla fact was all that left Word la

on equal terms, with no advantage to

Some interesting disclosures' of
White's private life ' have, fol
lowed his murder. One develop-,
ment of today 'may have a par
ticularly : close bearing on -the
tragedy. The police have learned
that White was assaulted and '
beaten last Wednesday night in .
front of a. New York theatre by a
young woman, .who used an um
brella over his head. The young
woman was accompanied by a
man . who held ' White's arms

a crowd began td gather the man

latter made off. The woman was
hustled into a waitmg hansom.
She was described as young and,

the theatrical profession. . No at

identify White's assailant as Mrs.

''It is rumored, and generally,

against Stanford White the S6-

evidence to warrant the asking of
his arrest, upon charges' of de

but the society always maintained
it could never get enough evi
dence to -warrant action." "
The, Morning Telegraph tells of .
a significant incident in the Cafe
IMartin which apparently precip
itated the killing of White. The
latter and a party of friends were
sitting at a table. As Thaw-and
"his wife passed White sneeringly
glanced at Evelyn Nesbit Thaw,
saying loud enough for all sitting1
near him to hear :

Later White and his friends
left the table-at which fhey had
been sitting, and walked through

Thaw's table he tapped Mrs.
Thaw familiarly upon the shoul

which no one else heard. The
