The second stage arrived within a few min- utes after the tlrst, and the driver and passen- »ers vent through a similar experience.

It « as said. Thaw toli M!s3 Nesbit about it and* bought her a ring costing $3.000. of the same design as the one h« Stories of a number of quarrels between Thaw and his wife were also told. Both Miss M - Clure and her mother said they were much put out at the attitude of May McKenzie. th* girl with whom Evelyn Thaw is living. Miss McKenzie. they said, had been a friend of White. and they could not understand her attitude in sticking by Thaw in this case. Miss McClure and Mrs. Minck were with Mr. Garvan for over an hour yesterday afternoon. They were escorted by a county detective to and from the District Attorney's office, and arrived and left in an electric brougham. They had been subpoenaed to appear, and told, it is under- stood, practically all that they can te:L m _ Both of them denied, it is understood, the authenticity of a statement that Thaw had of- fered a large sum for Mrs. Minck to swear to a false affidavit concerning her daughter. This story, they said, was untrue. In this case they contradicted a young woman who made such a statement to the District Attorney several days ago. Miss McClure and her mother told their stories together it is believed. They told of an instance two years ago. wh»n May McKenzie was il!. Stanford White, they said, had her sent to Dr. Walker's sanatorium, at No. 39 East 23d street. When she was convalescent he sent her home, they sad. and had all of her food sent in from Sherry's. They told the District Attorney of the time when Evelyn Nesbit. before she was married, underwent an operation while living at Pompton. N. J. When she became convalescent, they said. White sent Evelyn and her mother. Mrs. Hol- man. abroad. Thaw, the witnesses said, followed them, and after meeting them abroad, went or a "racket." as they expressed it. with Evelyn, leaving Mrs. Hoirnan in the lurch. Mrs. Holman was almost stranded in London, but cabled to friends in New York for ni'-ney. and returned without her daughter. Thaw and Miss Nesbit continued their trtf until they quarrelled, and Miss Nesbit return^ in September two years ago. alone, having left Thaw in Europe. "Show Girl"Gives Testimony — Says Thaws Often Quarrelled. The prosecution in the case against Harry Kendall Thaw, who shot and killed Stanford White two weeks ago to-day. has succeeded in establishing an Important point in the case. This is that Stanford White's relations with the Nesbits continued up to the night of his death. It has been learned positively that Stanford White had not only been a friend of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, but also of the rest of her family. L> to the night that White met his death at Thaw's hands he was paying th? entire educa- tional expenses of Howard Nesbit. the young brother of Evelyn. Young Nesbit is in a private school, and White was paying all of his bills — ' even to the bills for his clothes and board, to say nothing about his tuition and books. The District Attorney believes, it is under- stood, that Stanford White has been maligned to a degree little short of criminal, and is pre- pared to show that, while he enjoyed the society of beautiful young women and was almost a spendthrift with them, he was not the roue and libertine that many have said. Francis P. Gamut, Assistant District Attor- ney, worked as hard on thA case yesterday as if it had not been a day of rest. He was at his of- fice nearly all day. and examined two witnesses who are considered almost as important as any the prosecution can find. They were Edna Mc- ciure. the "show girl" now playing In "The. Tourists" in Boston, who was an intimate friend of White, and her mother. Mrs. Minck. Mrs. Minck had been questioned somewhat on Satur- day and completed her statement yesterday. HAD THREATENED WHITE FOR TEARS. Mr. Garvan was much pleased when h« had their statements In black and •white, and they, it is understood, told a story that further cor- roborated stories that the District Attorney has In his possession proving that "White ha* been maligned. One of the most important features of their testimony, it is understood, was that Thaw, for two years or more, had threatened to kill Stanford White, and that it was not a case 1 of sudden anger on his part that caused the tragedy.

On the other hand js the powerful Hegeman Corporation, of which John H. Flagler is president. The friendly relation of the F'.aglers with th" Standard Oil Interests is well known, and it Is generally bei.eved th* much Standard Oil money is Invested In the company, particularly that of H. H. Rogers. Like its competitor, the Hegeman con- cern has recently reached out for new locations. It now has nine stores, eight in Manhattan and one .in Brooklyn. Several of these have been opened since the beginning of the year. When seen by a Tribune reporter. Mr. Flagler was not disposed to reveal the details of his company's plans, saying: This big combination of drug interests will be the largest concern of its kind In this city. The cor- poration is planning to establish a long chain of stores in many of the fashionable sections of the city and maintain the excellent reputation of Cas- well-Massey as dealers in the highest class of goods. The business is to he controlled by Mr Lyon, my- self and a few associates, hut the National Cigar Stands Company and the United Drue Company will have nothing whatever to do with the manage- ment of its affairs. Mr. Liggett himself, although president of these two concerns, had ii" Idea that the Caswell-Maspey Company was to be forme 1 until after the company had been Incorporated and the officers elected ! cannot say whether we will handle the products of these corporations. That subject has not yet been discussed by us. but I can say that we Intend to deal only in the hishest class of drugs, proprietary articles and merchandise. The success of the corporation is assured. It is understood that since Knight gave this interview arrangements have been made with Mr. Liggett whereby his concerns come into the merger, which Is therefore one of great strength. It is further said that the corporation has been dicker- ing for locations for new stores and that some have been acquired. In an Interview recently given by Mr. Knight to a representative of "The American Druggist" he is quoted as saying: \u25a0 . . . \ ... N*t Volume. profl*.

It is the location of the new Rtore Hnd its owner- ship that lends color to the rumors of war beard in the drug trade. Diagonally across the way. down Broadway a little, is the headquarters of the Hfßemaa corporation, and across the road, on Park Row, is another store owned by the same cor- poration and only recently acquired by them. The owners of the Astor House store are Ctaswell, Massey & Co. It is between these two companies that war is .=ald to be likely. Caßwe.ll, Massey & Co., one of the oldest and best known firms in the city, with a main store at Fifth avenue and 25th street and branches at Fifth avenue nnd 47th street and Columbus av>- nuf nnd 72d street, was recently incorporated under the name of the (*aswell-M.iss?y Company, with George C.

Within a few days a new drug store will be opened at Broadway and Vesejr street, beneath the old Astor House. Unimportant as such a move would ordinarily be, there are indications that it really mark? the opening of a titanic struggle be- tween two huge corporations, each with' unlimited capital, and each seeking to control the drug store trade of Hie city.

Six persons were badly bruised and a score were thrown off a trolley car ot the Fifteenth street line late last evening, when a car of the 30th street and Manhattan Beach line crashed into It at the Gravesend avenue station. Coney Island. The car of the Fifteenth street line was taking passengers on at the Gravesend sta- tion when the other crashed into it. The passengers in the car ahead had no warn- ing. The conductor says he did not see the rear car coming. Before the motorman was able to turn on the power and get away the col- lision occurred. The passengers on both cars wero thrown into a panic. A score of passen- gers hanging to the running board of th# Fif- teenth street line car were thrown on their faces. Others were thrown to the tracks and piled on top of one another. Miss Katherine Cruikshank, of No. 116 3Sth street. Brooklyn, was badly bruised about the head and face. Others injured wore Miss Brid- K<n Feeny, Miss Lena Conn. Lawrence Johnston, Iflss Ruth Bfaloue r.r.d Miss Margaret Mulligan, all of Brooklyn. Tho injured were put in a car and taken to Culver station, where Dr. Richardson, of the Coney Island Reception Hospital, dressed their wounds. They were all sent to their homes. The. Brooklyn Rapid Transit had nothing to say in the way of an explanation. There were about sixty passengers on each car. and all of them were more or less shaken up. Both cars were damaged slightly. r A five-car Luna Park express train from New York crashed into a Sea Beach local car in front of the Sea Beach Palace at Coney Island last night, injuring six persons, causing a panic and setting: the cars on fire. The inbound track curves at this point, and the motorman of the express, James Koene, could not see the local until he had rounded the curve. He put on the brakes at once, but could not stop in time. As soon as the collision occurred the cars caught fire. Captain Han* ins. of ' the/ Coney Island police, happened to be near, and he turned in an alarm. Firemen soon extinguished' the blase.

costing $3.000. of the same design as the one h«
Stories of a number of quarrels between Thawand his wife were also told. Both Miss M
-Clure and her mother said they were muchput out at the attitude of May McKenzie. th*girl with whom Evelyn Thaw is living. Miss
McKenzie. they said, had been a friend ofWhite.
and they could not understand her attitude in
sticking by Thaw in this case.Miss McClure and Mrs. Minck were with Mr.
Garvan for over an hour yesterday afternoon.
They were escorted by a county detective to and
from the District Attorney's office, and arrived
and left in an electric brougham. They had
been subpoenaed to appear, and told, it is under-stood, practically all that they can te:L m
_Both of them denied, it is understood, the
authenticity of a statement that Thaw had of-
fered a large sum for Mrs. Minck to swear to a
false affidavit concerning her daughter. This
story, they said, was untrue. In this case they
contradicted a young woman who made such a
statement to the District Attorney several days
ago.
Miss McClure and her mother told their storiestogether it is believed. They told of an instance
two years ago. wh»n May McKenzie was il!.
Stanford White, they said, had her sent to Dr.
Walker's sanatorium, at No. 39 East 23d street.
When she was convalescent he sent her home,
they sad. and had all of her food sent in from
Sherry's.
They told the District Attorney of the timewhen Evelyn Nesbit. before she was married,
underwent an operation while livingat Pompton.
N. J. When she became convalescent, they said.White sent Evelyn and her mother. Mrs. Hol-
man. abroad. Thaw, the witnesses said, followedthem, and after meeting them abroad, went or
a "racket." as they expressed it. with Evelyn,
leaving Mrs. Hoirnan in the lurch. Mrs. Holmanwas almost stranded in London, but cabled to
friends in New York for ni'-ney. and returnedwithout her daughter.
Thaw and Miss Nesbit continued their trtfuntil they quarrelled, and Miss Nesbit return^in September two years ago. alone, having leftThaw in Europe.
"Show Girl"Gives Testimony —Says
Thaws Often Quarrelled.The prosecution in the case against Harry
Kendall Thaw, who shot and killed StanfordWhite two weeks ago to-day. has succeeded inestablishing an Important point in the case.This is that Stanford White's relations with theNesbits continued up to the night of his death.It has been learned positively that StanfordWhite had not only been a friend of Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw, but also of the rest of her family.
L> to the night that White met his death atThaw's hands he was paying th? entire educa-tional expenses of Howard Nesbit. the youngbrother of Evelyn. Young Nesbit is in a privateschool, and White was paying all of his bills
—'
even to the bills for his clothes and board, to
say nothing about his tuition and books.The District Attorney believes, it is under-
stood, that Stanford White has been maligned
to a degree little short of criminal, and is pre-pared to show that, while he enjoyed the societyof beautiful young women and was almost aspendthrift with them, he was not the roue andlibertine that many have said.
Francis P. Gamut, Assistant District Attor-ney, worked as hard on thA case yesterday as ifithad not been a day of rest. He was at his of-fice nearly all day. and examined two witnesseswho are considered almost as important as any
the prosecution can find. They were Edna Mc-
ciure. the "show girl" now playing In "The.
Tourists" in Boston, who was an intimate friendof White, and her mother. Mrs. Minck. Mrs.
Minck had been questioned somewhat on Satur-day and completed her statement yesterday.
HAD THREATENED WHITE FOR TEARS.
Mr. Garvan was much pleased when h« hadtheir statements In black and •white, and they,
it is understood, told a story that further cor-
roborated stories that the District Attorney has
Inhis possession proving that "White ha* beenmaligned. One of the most important featuresof their testimony, it is understood, was that
Thaw, for two years or more, had threatened to
killStanford White, and that it was not a case1 of sudden anger on his part that caused the
tragedy.

The fact that the Hegeman Corporation has In-vaded Brooklyn is taken as another sign that therelations between it and tne Cns'well-Massey con-cern nre scarcely friendly, for the Hesjemnn storeIn Brooklyn is In the territory of the Boltori Drr.s:Company, which Is In the Caswell combination, Ifwar is declared the drug trade looks to see someheavy rate cutting for a time, until, perhaps, thetwo corporations combine, or, at least, reach anunderstanding as to territory and prices.
On the other hand js the powerful Hegeman
Corporation, of which John H. Flagler is president.The friendly relation of the F'.aglers with th"Standard Oil Interests is well known, and it Isgenerally bei.eved th* much Standard Oil moneyis Invested In the company, particularly that of H.H. Rogers. Like its competitor, the Hegeman con-cern has recently reached out for new locations.It now has nine stores, eight in Manhattan andone .in Brooklyn. Several of these have beenopened since the beginning of the year. Whenseen by a Tribune reporter. Mr. Flagler was notdisposed to reveal the details of his company'splans, saying:
This big combination of drug interests will be thelargest concern of its kind In this city. The cor-poration is planning to establish a long chain ofstores in many of the fashionable sections of thecity and maintain the excellent reputation of Cas-well-Massey as dealers in the highest class ofgoods.
The business is to he controlled by Mr Lyon, my-self and a few associates, hut the National CigarStands Company and the United Drue Companywillhave nothing whatever to do with the manage-ment of its affairs. Mr. Liggett himself, althoughpresident of these two concerns, had ii" Idea thatthe Caswell-Maspey Company was to be forme 1until after the company had been Incorporated andthe officers elected !cannot say whether we willhandle the products of these corporations. Thatsubject has not yet been discussed by us. but Icansay that we Intend to deal only in the hishest classof drugs, proprietary articles and merchandise.The success of the corporation is assured.
It is understood that since Knight gave thisinterview arrangements have been made with Mr.Liggett whereby his concerns come into the merger,which Is therefore one of great strength. It is
further said that the corporation has been dicker-ing for locations for new stores and that somehave been acquired.
In an Interview recently given by Mr. Knight toa representative of "The American Druggist" he isquoted as saying:
