Olcott May Re-enter Case.

Mrs. William Thaw met Judge OlcOtt
fO- the first time and insisted upon his
re-assuming the defense Of her son.
which she said he could direct in any
manner he saw fit.
Mr.. OlcOtt promised TO take the mat
ter under advisement. but said that he
could give no formal answer until he
had conferred with the other members
Of his firm The probabilities are that
the firm Will again take up the direction
OF the defense OF Harry Thaw.
Mr.. OlcOtt Convinced Mrs. Thaw that
ner son was mentally irresponsible
when he killed Stanford White. He
said that the alienists who had been re-
tanned By the defense were honestly
convinced OF the young mans insanity.
Ungritten Law Defense Worthless.
THE unwritten law" defense which
Harry Thaw had insisted upon. Mr.. OIL
colt declared. was impossible. and the
only way 20 save him from the electric
chair was the insanity plea.
II is not believed today that District
Attorney Jerome will interpOse any
serious objection 10 the appointment OF
q lunacy commission. In fact IL was
stated that many friends Of White had
asked the district attorney 10 consent
20 such a disposition Of the case rather
than have the nOtoriety Of trial.
Thaw Greatly Excited.
Harry Thaw was greatly exercised
over the report that a commission was
10 be appointed II the district attorney
would consent. He declared that he
was sane, and that his new coun-
sci, Clifford Hartridge, and no one else,
had a right 10 make a move IN his
defense. When a motion is made
for the appointment OF such a COM
mission HartridEe Will be an import
ant factor. AS counsel for Ghaw his po-
sltiOn, so far as his client is concerned, is
virtually supreme before the court. The
fact. however, that Mrs Thaw holds
the purse strings gives Judge Olcott a
strong hand IN the play for the appoint
ment Of a commission. Meanwhile the
district attorneys Office is tied hand and
foot by the writ of prohibition obtained
by ThaW's new counsel yesterday. which
Compels the prosecution TO show cause
why the district attorney should not
cease examining witnesses in the Thaw
case.
Hartridge was not present at the con-
ference of Mrs. William Thaw Lewis
Delafield and former Judge OlcOtt yes
terdav. Mrs Thaw has taken no notice
Of Hartridge's appearance in the case.
