(Monday, June 25, 1906, 11:05 p.m. local time) — Architect Stanford White was shot to death tonight atop New York’s (second) Madison Square Garden, which he had designed, by millionaire Harry K. Thaw, who was apparently enraged over what he viewed as White’s defilement of his wife, Evelyn Nesbit (when Nesbit was a teenager) just as the first performance of the musical comedy Mam’zelle Champagne was drawing to a close.
