The Prosecutor of Thaw Questions
Lunacy Commissions Decision.

The Prosecutor of Thaw Questions
Lunacy Commissions Decision.
New York, April 5.-Much uncertain
ty again Invests the Thaw case. Thaw
is sane according to the finding Of the
commission in lunacy, which has been
placed in Justice Fitzgerald's hands
and he Is adjudged quite competent to
consult his lawyers.
But this triumph by him over the
prosecution may end with the report,
and he may yet have to spend many
weary weeks of Imprisonment before
his fate is decided This contingency,
if 1t should occur, will be because of
District Attorney Jerome's uncompro-
missing attitude, for he has determined
to appeal from Justice Fitzgerald's rul-
ing that he cannot inspect the minutes
of the commission
Appeal viii be in the nature of an
action to obtain a review of the JUS
tice's decision 1t will be taken in the
appellate division of the supreme
court and by 1t the district attorney
will seek either a writ of prohibition
or a writ of mandamus. Such an APP
plication will act as stay of pro-
ceedings and If granted 1t will halt
the trial. which had reached its last
phase for perhaps weeks or even
months.

sisnor Riccardi Gets Manuscripts the
Statesman Wrote.

Paris. April 5.--M. Clemenceau long
ago won the spurs as journalist and
statesman. Can 1t be that he is des-
tined to win renown as a dramatist?
If reliance may be placed on a state
ment in an Italian paper the premier
intends to join the ranks OF dramatic
writer's.
1t is stated that Signor Riccardi, the
impressario, who was recently in
Paris with view to securing French
comedies for the Italian stage, OBJ
tanned from M. Clemenceau the man
uscript of a comedy which he wrote
in his youth and which has never been
produced.
The premiers comedy is to be trans
lated by Signor Ferdinand Martini, the
ex- governor Of Erythrea 1t is called
Wolfe du Bonheur," and Signor Mar
tint hopes to translate it during his
journey from Italy TO Massowah and
back. 1t is one-act play and will
be produced in Italy by the Tall com"
pany.
