THE FIRST INSIDE STORY OF EVELYN THAW'S SACRIFICE

It Was Not for Love of Harry That She Twice Told the Story of Her Shame to the New York Court. SHE WISHED ONLY THAT JUSTICE BE DONE HIM. She Fears for Her Husband's Release His Condition Is Not Improved Divorce Action Soon. New York, Feb. 21. Following close upon all the unsavory developments since the last trial and acquittal of Harry K. Thaw, there has been told today by friends of Kveln Thaw a new story, revealing, for the first time her hopes and the motives that have animated her in all her acts since Thaw's arrest. According to these friends, Evelyn Thaw martyred herstdf. Not for love of Harry Thaw. Not because she wanted to have-hira given back to her. Not because she wautcd a share of his wealth. She told what she did on the witness stand for the sake of justice, knowing as well as any of the lawyers and far better than some of them, what the result of her story meant to her and her future. She knew, according to the friends who today told the story in her behalf, that ff she told her story of her relations with Stanford White and its effect upon her husband and if she told of his actions it would mean a life of terror for her if Harry Thaw should he given his freedom. Her Future Against His. She was placed in the position of balancing her own future against his. One the one hand if she did not tell ihe story Thaw undoubtedly would have been found guilty. She would have been well taken care of. On the other hand, if she did toll the story and if Thaw were freed she Ivnew that her own life would be a horror. Thaw had often threatened her. She had witnessed his tantrums and outbreaks in prison. He had threatened her with bodily harm if he were given his freedom. During his life with her he had beaten her several times. She knew it would be impossible to live with him again. They had frequent quarrels while she was preparing to take the stand in his beiiair at. the second trial. Evelyn Thaw, her friends say. cast tip all these propositions and weiglfcd them, and (hen She let her love for justice, not her love for Thaw, triumph and she went on the stand. She told the story that in the first trial secured a disagreement and in the second trial secured an acquittal. 'I don't want Harry freed," she is credited with having said in her own circle of friends from which the story of the real reason for her testimony came. "I don't want him freed, because it would be dangerous. I only wanted to see justice done. I thought of all the chances. I thought of everything before I made up my mind to testify on the stand for him. Consulted Thaw's Lawyers. "I first asked the lawyers about ray story. None of them knew about it until I went to them. I asked them if that could bo told to the jury, and they said it could, and that it would free Harry. "I told the story, not because I wanted him freed, but because I wanted to see justice done. Could I let a man who had had as much reason for killing as he had be found guilty of the murder of a man like Stanford White. I wanted to have justice done. That is why I went on the witness stand. I suffered much when he was found not guilty, and I thought they were going to let him go free again. I was afraid . because I knew that it meant that he might attempt to carry out his threats against me. On the day the juty rendered its verdict of not gnilty on the ground of insanity Kvelyn Thaw for the first time displayed emotion. She arrived at the court room early that Saturday morning. She could not sit still. She told those who inquired that she feared a disagreement, but the fact is that she knew the verdict would precipitate a domestic tragedy. What it Meant to Evelyn. What Thaw's continued incarceration in the insane asylum at Mattoawau may mean to Evelyn is not fcnown. It is probable, however, that ther will be a monetary settlement. It Is known that she has been advised to demand such a. settlement Thaw's condition does not improve very rapidly. His instability of mind Is marked as rmuh as it ever was according to physicians who are watching him and the best that his relatives hope for is the opportunity to remove him to a private sanitarium. Evelyn, fearful of any possibilltv of hla release, probably will bring "suit for divorce soon with a demand for a large monetary consideration unless the latter-is aranged for -,r! The suit is regarded as a only a short time. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Tale LAXATIVE B110MO Quinine Tablets. Druggists refund money if it fails to cure. K. W.

There are easier things in the world than carrying a German comedy role and few achieve real distinction in this line, although many attempt it. There is nothing perhaps more enjoyable than the real imitation thut sometimes offered. John Max. who appears at the New Phillips this week in vaudeville, as a German comedian and wooden shoe dancer, is remired to be a real one and nor an imitation. This week's bill had its initial performance this afternoon at which time John Woodford and Jeanette Marlboro Isabel Rollai

if it a n u ;, actly as it was given in the metropolis. Mr. Miller will present the entire original production and a superb company of capable arti.sts. "The Great Divide'' was written by William Vaughn Moody, the distinguished American poet and professor of Knelish literature. In this play Mr. Moody put blank verse and rhyme behind liim, j writing in unctions, vigorous prose, j proving himself as much a master of direct human discourse as of fanciful utterance in dactyls and spondees. Notwithstanding that "The Great Di-1 vide'' is prose, a true poet's imagin- j ation and feeling is perceptible jn its conception and treatment. Repertoire at the Gennett. Patrons of the Gennett tire promised five nights of splendid plays and specialties, beginning tonight. The Hutton-Bailey company is the attraction and comes here highly recommended. The Sidney, o., News says of it: The Hutton-Bailey comrjany lost no time last night in proving themselves easily and by far the best popular priced company of the season. Their production of "A Russian Nihilist" was faultless in every way lipintr o-pil played by a company of superior talent, beautifully staged and costumed, and presenting a powerful story of intense interest which held the full sympathy of the audience from first to last. The humorous parts of the play were more than good and balanced perfectly with the dramatic part of' the production. It would be hard to imagine a better and more finished performance than that given last night by the Hutton-Bailey company. They have certainly made good and deserve success wherever they go." The company will open its engagement Monday night at the Gennett with a presentation of "A Russian Nihilist." with special scenery and costumes throughout. Ladies win be admitted free Monday night under the usual conditions. j state convention. As the date has alJ ready been set for April . one week after the state convention., there is nothing more to be done about it. The Hob Of The Body.

CHORUS GIRLS IN EXCITING STUNT

Attempted to Beat Board Bill Accrued While Here and Were Caught. . QtF0UR LIMELIGHT. CLERK AT THE WESTCOTT MADE ACTRESSES UNTIE PURSESTRINGS BEFORE THEY BOARDED TRAIN FOR PIQUA, OHIO. Clerk Mathew Balfour of the Westcott hotel is the hero of an exciting sketch of romantic adventure. The other members of the cast are three chorus girls of the late "Girl From Broadway" production. The plot of the sketch is simple but highly melodramatic. Summed up in a few words is as follows: The three women try to violate the state anti-board beating law. Mr. Balfour comes to the rescue of his employer and holds the fugative chorus ladies up just as they are about, to hoard an east, bound Panhandle train. "Pay your board bills or go to jail," he demands (gallery applauds and orchestra plays Eliza-Crossing-The-Ice music.) "Foiled agin" hiss the three villainesses as they unlock the padlocks on thir purses and produce the necessary (tremendous applause from pit to gallery.) After the performance Saturday night "The Girl From Broadway" company came to an inexcusedly long delayed end. The three chorus women who appear in our sketch went immediately to tne westcott not.ei, se cured their somewhat abrevlated baggage and smuggled it downstairs. This baggage they passed to three boys who had been engaged to make a wild dasli with the suit cases to the Panhandle station. The women then carelessly sauntered out of the hotel and went directly to the station. Clerk Balfour became suspicious of their actions and followed them. He met thorn at the station just as they were about to beard a train for Piqua, O. He demanded that they settle for their board bills.

VESSELS WILL GO TO HONOLULU AND THE PHILIPPINES, THENCE TO GIBRALTAR AND TO NEW YORK OR NORFOLK. New York, Feb. 21 A Washington dispatch says: A plan for the return trip of that portion of the battle ship uect which is to be brought back to the Atlantic station' is now being worked out by the General board, with the advice of the president and Secretary Metcalf. It now appears unlikely that the in vitation of Governor General Deakin. ; of Australia, for the fleet to visit bis country, will be accepted. Neither will anticipated invitations from Japan and the powers of Europe be accepted, if one country should be visited, an invitation from any other could not be easily declined, for fear of giving of-' fense. Even the American coaling 1 station at Yokohama will not be visiteu by the feet for this staUon is out oi the homeward path, and to call there would necessarily mean an exchange of official visits.

From Manila the fleet will proceed toward Aden, possibly calling at Colombo for coal. The next step after Aden will be at Gibraltar. Rumors in diplomatic circles indicate that several squadrous. and possibly fleets, under European flags will be at Gibraltar or near by when the American fleet calls, and possibly officials from Great Britain.
