Summary
Updated 2026-06-25

Harry Kendall Thaw was the son of American businessman William Thaw Sr. Heir to a multimillion-dollar fortune, he is most notable for having shot and killed architect Stanford White in front of hundreds of witnesses at the rooftop theatre of Madison Square Garden on June 25, 1906. Thaw's trial for murder was heavily publicized and called the "trial of the century". After one hung jury, a second jury found Thaw not guilty by reason of insanity.
