NEW YORK, WWE OWES FEBRUARY 19, 1908. THAW REFUSES PLEA OF MOTHER 10 Sctk , DIVORCE FROM WIE 4 Aged Woman Insists Pair Separate, and Former Chorus Girl Said to Be Willing, on Her Own Terms. Harry K. Thaw to-day denied the reports that he has begun or is about to begin proceedings to secure a divorce from his wife, Evelyn Thaw. A letter was sent to Thaw at the State Hospital for the Insane asking him to reply to the following question : “Have you begun or are you about to begin divorce pro- ceedings against your wife? Thaw returned the answer, Mrs. William Thaw admitted to-day that she desires her son Harry to forsake his wife Evelyn. The only stumbling block in the way of a separation is Harry Thaw. He has not as yet consented to give up the wife for love of whom he killed a man and risked death in the electric chair. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, it appears, is not averse to a legal separation from her husband, but she wants a substantial money settlement from the Thaws. The report that she was paid $200,000 before she went on the stand and confessed her degradation in the first trial is denied by the Thaw family. Mrs. William Thaw, ‘li and heart- broken, ts living in seclusion at the ote! Lorraine.
