"Get a club for the other boarder and keep enough money yourself fof your expenses," was the rejoinder of Judge Hale In refusing a divorce- effects of an overindulgence in cham paign the night he killed White and he thought the shooting was Justi fied." Bancroft insisted. Bancroft told In detail how the New Hampshire commission reached the decision Thaw was sane. "We found Thaw's chief object of hate was White," he said. "He thought he had a right to kill him because White destroyed Evelyn's virginity, and he proposed to save others from such a fate. We don't understand that Thaw contemplated a universal plann for the rescue of all virgins but only Innocent girl's coming under White's Influence."
