Over a wide area his right lung was affected and the liver complaint had progressed far. J Tliis discovery will be a surprise to White's friends, as he was six feet tall, muscular, well-built and weighed 225 pounds in appearance, the picture of health. NEW YORK, July 2.

ThYs connection with Anthony Comstock came as n surprise to White's friends, and there Is obvious unrest in the Bohemian circle, that knows no limit, if common report is to be believed, in Its search for new sensations. "It was several months ago." said Mr. Comstock. "that Thaw first tame to me and told me what he knew of Stanford White. A number of prominent promi-nent New Yorkers were mentioned as being fellow principals in some of the most awful and disgusting piotivlinzs that have ever been brought to my attention. at-tention. "Since his first visit and until Stanford Stan-ford White was murdered Thaw has been in consultation with m? and with officers of the society many times. When he. first called he was In a most excited condition and seemed to be laboring under Intense mental sunVr-ing. sunVr-ing. At no time did Thaw mention the name of his wife. Although e never said so it seemed to me that someone very near and dear to him had come under White's influene." Then It was that Comstock turned i his attention to the degenerates who are likely to be exposed to a limelight which will mean their social damnation damna-tion through Thaw's wild act. t "He told us of many young glrl and women who had been ruined by these persons'," continued Comstock; "men clothed in respectability and protected, by an armor which the society had always al-ways found It Impossible to pierce. Thaw gave us names and addresses In many cases and we Investigated and found that his accounts were true. Fear of exposure, however, always prevented pre-vented anyone from coming forward and prosecuting those who wre responsible re-sponsible for their downfall. In many Instances family Influence barred our Investigations. "We tried to rent an apartment." added Comstock "but there was a long waiting list ami wo were never able to secure quarters. Whether It was lic-I'Miise lic-I'Miise White had tweome frightened or for some other reason, lie closed Tils studio about a year ago. "Thaw had investigated the doings of those society degenerates because of some Intense personal motive. I be-lieve'that be-lieve'that the facts which he uiiearthMl so preyed upon his mind that he tn !-d to' commit the crime w ith w hich he is now charged. He believed they were responsible for much misery and had ruined many lives. "Was there a personal element In his desire to bring such men to justice? jus-tice? I am not able to say. He al-, ways treated the matter with the greatest delicacy, so far as his family relations were concerned. He never revealed anything of a personal nature, na-ture, so that I cannot say what bearing bear-ing this may have had on his act. The terror occasioned by . the fear that some one dear to . him might ' have come under the Influence or be befouled be-fouled by such moral lepers was more than sufficient to unsettle any man's mind and to make him' feel . that he was doing a service to society by wiping wip-ing them from the .face of the earth.
