STORY OF LETTER
TO MRS. THAW
Husband Said to Have Found
One from White
AND VOWED VENGEANCE
Much Room for Speculation On All
Phases of the tsc Police Re
lievo Thaw Slated Real Motive At
Time of Arrest Burr Mcintosh,
His Friend, Declares He Is Insane.
(Ry the Associated Prns9.)
New York, June 27.-U is ' believed
that the defense of Hurry K. Thaw
was decided .upon today at a conference
between former Judge Olcott, Frederick
Dclufield and Mr. 'Harry K. Thaw. At
the close of the conference Mr. Olcott
declined to make any statement, but lie
let it be understood that there had been
no change In the plan to put in a plea
that Thaw was insane. Mr. Olcott said
l.i had not seen the letter from White
which Mrs. Thaw turned over to Mr.
Dclufield yesterday, but he knew their
Import and believed they would aid the
defense. ,
After this conference Mrs. 1 haw went
to the Tombs prison," where she had a
talk with her husband.
Alienists appointed by the district at
torney's unlet) to examine Into Harry
K. Thnw"s mental condition reported
li. Assistant District Attorney Nott to
day that so far as they are able to de
termine ho is perfectly sane. The re
port was made with the reservation,
however, that they still have his phy
sical condition to take into considera
tion. Thaw would not submit to a
physical examination today.
New York, June 27'. With the police,
coroners and district attorney's ofnee
' working practically day and night to
learn all the details of the events which
led up to the murder of Stanford White
by Harry K. Thaw, and all sources si
lent as to their discoveries, there was
much room for speculation today on
nil phases of the case. The motive for
the murder, the police believe, was out
lined in Thaw's brief statement that
his home had been ruined, and with
this as a basis of investigation detec
tives were sent in various directions
looking up Thaw's habits In New York
nnd Investigating the many stories told
and published concerning Sanford
White's conduct. "-'
Thaw, advised by some of the most
prominent lawyers of New York and
Pittsburg, is silent. Mrs. Thaw is with
friends today, ready to respond to a
call from the district attorney's office.
Perhaps the most interesting devek p
ment late last night was the announce
ment that Mrs. Thaw told her hus
band's lawyers yesterday that she had
received many letters from Mr. White
since her marriage. Ono of these she
threw on her dressing table a few days
ago, and her husband found it and
vowed vengeance on the writer.'
'While the finding of this letter may
have been the direct cause of the trag
edy. Thaw's Jealousy of and hatred for
White were of long standing, and the
young man made frequent threats to
kill his supposed rival.
White's Steps Were Dossed.
Mr White was astonished some
months ago to find that detectives were
following him wherever he went. At
first ho had Borne doubt whether the
men were really dogging hls footsteps
.or whether it was a mere accident that
-the same faces appeared when he left
his office", his home or his club morn
ing, noon and night. When he had be
come convinced beyond a possible doubt
that reports ot his movements were be
ing prepared for somebody, he took
steps to have some detective work done
on his own account, and to have his
shadowers followed.
Ho employed a man to go after him
wherever he went .as far as possible,
and then he amused himself by giving
the slip to the first detective. The per
son he employed discovered that the
other detective was reporting to Thaw.
In this way Mr. White was able to ob
tain ample warning that the wealthy
young man from Pittsburg suspected
"him and was preparing some unpleas
' ant surprise. Mr. White, took occasion
to mention this matter to some of his
associates, and commented that one
reason, he; assumed that Thaw was
angry at him was because he was fa-
. miliar, with a document drown by the
present Mrs. Thaw before her mar
riage. - The nature of this is not known
yet. '
' ' : ' Various Stories.
There are many ' stories, too, of
Thaw's first mooting with White, which
Is snld to have taken place in Paris
last spring after Thaw and Miss Nes
blt were marrlcjj, and in the course of
which Thaw threatened White. -Agnes
Palmer, a chorus girl,- is quot-
.ed In an interview today saying that
Mr. White had told her that he knew
Thaw' was "gunning for him."
Evidence of the motives that led to
the murder is not to come out for a
time In any public proceeding, and
there- Is a remote chance that it will
ont come out at all, it Is said today.
The coroner's inquest will be a formal
inquiry into the cause of death.
Evelyn Nesbit will not testify in the
coroner's court, but will go before the
grand jury, whoso sittings are secret.
An indictment will undoubtedly bo re
turned, the plea of Insanity will be put
In, and an inquiry Into the sanity of
the prisoner will be the first proceed
ing. That may take a month, and the
result is at present a matter of con
jecture. Many Xew Witnesses.
After a eonfereneo lasting from 11
o'clock last night until after 2 o'clock
this morning In the tenderloin police,
station between Captain Hodgins and
Assistant District Attorneys Garvin
and Tumbull, Mr. Turnbull made the
significant statement that they had lo
cated many new witnesses, "including
many for the defense."
"Interesting' developments," they
said, would probably be disclosed.
The police wore busy early today en?
deavoring to verify a report that Thaw
and White had met on Sunday night in
Hums' restaurant In Sixth Avenue, and
had talked alone together until nearly
4 o'clock Monday morning. Among the
witnesses questioned yesterday by the
police was the waiter who served the
dinner to the Thaws nt the Cafe Mar
tin Monday evening, lie declared Mrs.
Thaw was very quiet during the meal;
that Thaw did not meet White at the
restaurant, and that .White's, entrance
did not cause any particular excitement
except that Mrs. Thaw was very pale.
As to Thaw's conduct after the dinner,
the waiter said:
"When I handed him his hat he lit
erally jerked it out of my hand, and
li putting it on he crushed it down
over his forehead and his eyes with a
dashing sound which indicated that it
had been broken by the violence ot his
treat inent."
To Hendi TIuuv's Mother.
Mrs. Thaw's relatives fear that read
ing a public notice, of her son's crime
might seriously affect her ,and they are
anxious to send her a message before
she arrives In London.- The position
of the Minneapolis on which she is a
passenger Is such that no message
could be relayed to the vessel, which

It Is not known how the fife origi
nated, but It is believed that lightning
ran Into the stable on the telephone
or electric light wires, as a powerful
rain and electrical storm occurred a
short time previous to the fire. It Is
thought by some that the fire was of
incendiary origin, as. this is the second
time Mr. Graves has lost his stable
by fire since last November. The
present stable was on the site of the
ono burned the 7th of last November,
