Court.- '
Xew York, June 27. Just, how soon
the real facts in the Thaw murder case
will be brought out in an official way is
uncertain, Probably it, will not be until
the trial X Thaw begins. The coroners'
inquest tomorrow will not develop the
details which are so eagerly awaited.
Tomorrow's inquest will be formal pro
ceedings. The witnesses to the- shooting
probably will be called and the case will
will be taken rip immediaely by ' the
fraud jury. Only one sensation coming
out. of this, gram! jury hearing is eon-f-ideied
possible. It has been intimated
in certain quarters that no indictment
may be returned. This not regarded as
probable, however

.Tames Fisk, Jr., .by - Ed ward 8.' Stokes
o,n the staircase of the Grand Central
Hotel more than 30 years ago hns the
metropolis been shocked by so startling
and dramatic a tragedy as that which
was enacted Monday night in the pres
ence of an audience of more than 1,000
persons, in the roof theatre njf Madison
(Square (iarden. ;
Not, the leant dramatic feature of the
tragedy is the tact that Mr. White met
his death in the structure which is per
jh the most . conspicuous memorial of
his architectual genius, ,. ;-
, Three Shots Took Effect.
Mr. White's body was removed to the
house yesterday afternoon. Tlie autopsy
held yesterday showed that three bullets
had taken effect, one in the corner of the
Jeit eye. which penetrated the brain and
was instantly fatal, one in the upper
'lip, knocking out several teeth, and one
striking the left shoulder, and lodging
in t he elbow.
Funeral services will be held tomor
row at St. Bartholomew's church, Co
adjutor Bishop Oreer oflicinting.
Mrs. Thaw, who 'disappeared from
Madison Square (iarden in the confusion
that followed the tragedy, arrived yen
terday afternoon, with Mis May Me
Kinsey, at. the ofliccs of Dclaficld &
Ixingfellow, No. t0 Wall street, where
she remained in evmsrfltatioti with coun
sel for several hours.
While there she was nerved with a
subpoena requiring her attendance before
the grand jury on Thursday. Mrs. Thaw
was clad in a plain brown automobile
costume and appeared ill and nervous
and apparently hardly strong enough to
walk from the carriage to the door. At
the lawver's office Mrs. Thaw was joined
by Mr," and Mrs. (ieorge Carnegie said
to be relatives of her husband.
Mrs. Thaw was not seen to leave the
building which was closely watched by
reporters ami late in the afternoon it
wis' learned that she and Miss McKinsey
liad left the lawyer's offices on the
thirteenth floor crossed the roofs of two
adjacent buildings nnd entered window
of the City National bank building in
front of which a carriage was waiting
for them.
r, ivlafield declined to make any
Malcmciit on behalf of Mrs. Thaw ex
t.,.iit to say that she would not be spirit
,.,1 vay and would respond to any mini
mon of the authorities.
Motive Was Jealousy.
The motive that prompted Thaw was
icaloiisv. H is known that Mr. Whjte
vs acquainted wit" Evelyn Nesbit long
before she became Mrs. Thaw and that
Ik. was ausious to advance her in hoi
Jofeioiial. career. Through his inter

CALDWELL
DISCHARGED
No Evidence That He Com
mitted Robbery
SO SAYS JUDGE HARVEY
The Close of Three Days' Hearing in
the Montpelier City Court To
, - day--Judge Harvey's "
. Opinion. '
After a three- days' hearing Judge
Harvey of the Montpelier city court
today --discharged Samuel A. Caldwell,
who was- arrested on suspicion of com
plicity in the robbery of the Barre &
Montpelier electric railroad safe sev
eral weeks ago. Caldwell, who has been
under arrest for ten day, was then re
leased. He immediately joined his wife,
who has been a regular, attendant and
close follower of the hearing, and they
went to their home. The atate' an
nounced that no other arrests will be
made for' the present.
. Judge Harvey gave a long opinion,
in which be said that the proaecut ion
bad failed to make out a ease agtiinst
the suspected man. There was,-be' said,
ft reasonable ground for suspicion that
Caldwell might . have been implicated,
but the main part of the evidence
against him was his own statements.
There as no direct evidence that he
committed the crime, although he had
the opportunity. On the other hand,
several other had the same opportunity,
both to know the combination of the
safe and to commit the crime. The
efforts of the prosecution to show that
Caldwell was free with his money was
not conclusive because the prosecution
did not show that he could not have
had money of hi own.-,
Just prior to. the rendering of the
opinion the state put on several more
witnesses, including Aaron Welch,. A.
D. Casey, ' I. L. Litnt, Charles Burke,
F, S. Dawson, Benjamin Gates, K. A.
Hoar, Andrew Kenney, L. J. Counter,
Mrs. Willis Laird. In addition. Supt.
Andru and Alderman Dawley of Mont
pelier, the latter a safe expert, were re
called. The prosecution is now at sea in
the matter. Tho anioitnt-of money stol
en front the company's safe is also in
doubt, the estimates varying from $200
to $500. The sale was not wrecked,
but was apparently opened by work
injt the combination. Suspicion fell on
Caldwell, who was a spare conductor,
when he stateit to the company otbcials
that he thought he could apprehend the
robbers. He was given permission to try
and then' followed to Burlington, where
the. arrest of the detective himself was
I jmule one week go8imday night, "
