Thaw bankruptcy reshapes Evelyn Nesbit income
Pittsburg dispatch reports Evelyn Nesbit Thaw is among the heaviest losers in her husband Harry Kendall Thaw’s voluntary bankruptcy filing.

A New York feature by Dorothy Dix portrays a rehabilitated Thaw in Poughkeepsie jail, describing a lucid, thoughtful man who now reads widely and reflects calmly on his trials, with plans limited by bankruptcy.
