"Some of thorn are thieves , Just us Homo of every class of people uio thieves , " declared the tramp.

Denver , July 12. William James Patterson , one ye.nr ago a respected and prosperous pliyslclan , a unlversltj graduate 'and graduate of medicine from Washington and Rush Medlca schools , and''rin expert In criminology lies a physical and mental wreck in the city Jail , the victim of his too long study Into the ways nnd the works of. criminals. Only one qualification of [ [ I this statement concerning himself does the once highly respected mnn mukc. This Is that he would not have fallen hud ho not hud the natural criminal Instinct , which was undeveloped until his delving Into criminology brought It to the surface. "I'm a natural criminal. I could not bo otherwise If I chose , " he said , when nrrested for Issuing u fraudulent check for $20. Ho scouts the Idea of environment creating crlmlnnls. "I'm a living example of a man with criminal Instincts highly devel oped , " ho said. "I could not bo straight If I wanted to. I would de fraud people nt n time when I did not need money nnd had no possible rea son for taking It , other than to fill this natural craving. " Patterson was nrrested In April last for forgery committed In Kansas. At that tlmo ho wns living with his wife , npnprently refined , and two children. Wealthy parents of Sallna , Kan. , res- "tied him from prison , but the quick repetition o fthe crime demonstrates the truth of his statement that he can not live straight. PLUTOCRAT RULERS NOT BEST.

DECLARED LONG AGO THAT HE WOULD GET WHITE YET. WOMEN WILL TESTIFY TO THIS Evidence Which Is Said to Have Been Gained From Edna McClure , an Ac tress , May Shatter Thaw's Hope for Release Through "Unwritten Law. " Now York , July 11. "Heforo her marriage to Hurry Thaw , Evelyn Ncs- bit did make an affidavit In a suit she contemplated bringing against Thaw. The suit was for broach of promise of marriage. The original affidavit made by Evelyn Nesblt Is In existence today , nnd has not been destroyed. " These highly Important statements have been made with the greatest pos- ItlvenesH by a man who was a friend of the late Stanford White. This con tradicts the statements of Judge Ol- cott , Harry Thaw's counsel , who said repeatedly that Evelyn Nesblt never made any affidavit against Thaw. In this affidavit It Is said she charged Mr. Thaw with having pointed a pistol nt her head and threatened to shoot her If she did not Immediately awenr to a charge accusing Stanford White of accomplishing her ruin. This affidavit bus been destroyed , but a photograph of the document Is In existence , and the contents are of such a nature us to preclude publica tion. Threatened White , Too. A line of evidence which , If corrobo rated , will go far to destroy any hopes Thaw may bo basing on the "unwrit ten law" as a defense for killing Stan ford White has come Into possession of the district attorney's office through Edna McClure , an actress now per forming In "A Social Whirl. " This evidence would seem to Indicate that Thaw's killing of White was the result of a planned and determined ven geance covering a period of nearly two years. The name of a woman who spent several months of 1903 In Europe in the company of Evelyn Nesbit and Harry Thaw was given to Mr. Garvan , Thla woman , It is said , will testify that In her presence and in the presence of William Sturgis and Evelyn Nesblt , in her apartments In this city , Hurry Thaw drew a pistol two years ago and , flourishing It over his head , exclaimed : "This Is for White. " Miss McClure said that both Stan ford White and Harry Thaw were pur suing Evelyn Nesblt. There were two cabs at the stage door for her every night and two bunches of flowers White won at that time and he took the girl from the stage and sent her to schpol In Pompton , N. J. She was taken 111 while there and underwent an operation. Then Whlto sent hei and her mother to Europe. Harry Thaw learned of this and 1 went abroad. He met the girl In 1 Paris and Evelyn went with him leaving Mrs. Holman , the girl's moth er , penniless In Paris. She had tc cable White for money to get home. Evelyn tired of Thaw's conduct abroad and left him. When she got home she went to Stanford White and told him of the treatment to which she had been sub jected by Thaw. White then took her to his attorney and had her draw up the affidavit which Is now so badly wanted by the prosecution. Thaw fol lowed her home and after some time she rejoined him and they went abroad together. Told Thaw to Go to White , Miss McClure said that Evelyn was on the point of leaving Thaw after a bitter quarrel when he offered mar riage to her. Miss McClure also tolc the assistant district attorney that while entertaining a number of guests In a Broadway restaurant one night Thaw saw Stanford White enter the place. Ho began to abuse White , says Miss McClure , and said to his wife : "There goes that blackguard now that owned you before I did. " Mrs. Thaw Is reported to have an swered : "Stop raking up my pas Harry. That brute over there is re sponslble. Go to him about It. " "I will , " Thaw said , "I'll get him yet. ' Mrs. Legrand Mink , the-.mqther o Edna McClure , was with her daughter at the district attorney's office yester day. In speaking of the Thaw case today she said : "Harry Thaw's hate for Stanford White wns like that o a maniac. Ho seemed possessed of a consuming horror of White. It was plainly a mania with him. " The district attorney's office also i searching for William Sturgis , a close friend of Hurry K. Thaw , who has dis appeared since the tragedy. It la re ported that Sturgis had heard Thaw make threats aguinst Stanford White White Good to Nesbits. No matter what may have been the enmity between Whlto and Evelyn Nesblt , If any existed , during the few months preceding the killing , White Mr. Gnrvnn Is suld to have learned hud the kindest feelings for Evelyn Nesblt's family. Evidence tending to show that up to the day of his death Whlto had been paying for the educa tlon of Evelyn Nesblt Thaw's brothe Howard , was offered to Mr. Garvan This boy is said to bo about 18 yar old , Is at college either In New Yorl or Pennsylvania , and the state already has set Investigators at work to find him.
