BY Our own Wire, Publishers Press.
NEW YORK. July 2O.-Though
Harry Thaw stin insists that he is sane
and demands that he be given a jury
trial in order to Justify the shooting
OF Architect Stanford White. it is
thought that his mother, Mrs. william
Thaw. will be able to force her son TO
accept the plea Of insanity as his de-
fense. So far Mrs Thaw has been un-
able to influence her son TO her way
of thinking and when they parted the
last time it seemed that mother and
son We're further apart than ever as
TO the nature Of the defense Mrs
Thaw did not visit her son yesterday
and is at the home of Mrs George L.
Carnegie, at Rosyln, L. /. She believes
that after her son has had time to
think the subject over he Will come to
her opinion.
In order TO make a fight on the line
of justihable homicide Thaw will need
no end of money. Mrs. Thaw holds
the purse for by the viii Of the late
William Thaw an income Of only $500
year was left TO Harry Thaw. His
mother knowing that he could not live
on that sum generously increased il TO
$4,000 a year. This extra allowance
can be cut off by Mrs Thaw at any
time, and without il Harry Thaw
would not be able TO employ counsel

all outward appearances are strangers

Thaw and his wife no one Of the Thaw
family has seen or conferred with
Clifford w. Hartridge, Thaw's counsel
Meanwhile Former Judge Olcott. who
has been retained by Mrs. Thaw TO

emily of Thaw's counsel. is still en-
gagged in securing evidepce' Of Thaws

When the time comes, and that is
expected in a week or two, Supreme
Court Judge will be asked TO appoint
a lunacy commission to inquire into
Thaw's mental condition at the pres
ent time. The commission under the
law viii not pass upon the question Of
Thaw's sanity at the time the crime
was committed. That would have to
be done by a jury If Thaw is found 10
be insane at this time. Should Thaw
be found insane he viii be sent 70

had been as fully criticised as had Mr.
Connolly, that he could not understand
the technical terms of the PROPOSED

refuse to vote for it; and that he be
