THE CRUCIAL TEST
Game When Thaw was Alone Before
The Commission, fven His Law
yers Being Barred.

New York, April 4.--To.day brings
another critical stage in the case ot
Harry X. Thaw, when the slayer oi
Stanford White will either be oilici
ally proclaimed insane and ordered
sent away to state asylum, or his
trial will he resumed before Justice
Fitzgerald upon the finding of the lun
acy commission that the defendant is
at this time capable of rightly under
standing his own position, of appreci
ating the nature of the charges
against him and Of nationally advising
with his counsel. The commission
completed its work last night and will
report to Justice Fitzgerald this morn
ing.
Thaw underwent a private mental
and physical examination for more
than two hours Wednesday afternoon.
in this last crucial test he was entirely
alone before the commission, even
the district attorney and his own
counsel being barred. When the
three members of the commission
David Mcclure, Peter 3. Olney and
DIR. Leopold Putzel-had completed
their final examination, they shook
hands with Thaw in q most cordial
manner. He went back to his cell In
the Tombs with a light heart and de.
clared later to his counsel that he felt
the commission would surely declare
him sane. The attorneys shared their
clients optimistic view Of the situa-
tion.
District Attorney Jerome would not
commit himself IN any way. Thaw's
counsel declared they We're ready to
proceed with the case to-day and be
lieved that Mr.. Delmas might begin
his summing up address before noon
In that event, they said, Mr. Jerome
would address the jury on Friday and
a verdict might be expected before
the week ends.
There is no likelihood that the re
port of the commission will ever be
made public. II the decision favors
Thaw. Justice Fitzgerald will merely
order the trial to proceed without any
reference whatsoever to the interrup
ton which began two weeks ago
Should the decision be against Thaw
Justice Fitzgerald would have to
quote but briefly from the formal find

Albany. N. Y, April 4.-The entire
apportionment OF legislative districts
made BY the last New York legisla-
ture Is overthrown as unconstitutional
and void by the court of appeals In a
decision handed down unexpectedly
Wednesday, the court reversing the
judgments of the courts below, which
hitherto have sustained the act. The
decision does not affect the personnel
or invalidate the acts of the present
Legislature, but political relations and
alignments in every part of the state
made to suit the new conditions have
been thrown into confusion and form.
erly influential politicians who were
supposed to have been killed polite
ally by last years apportionment re-
turn to the field of influence.
Far.seeing politicians here say that
IL is impossible to calculate the conse'
quences of the decision, which they
describe as political earthquake
1t is generally believed here that the
decision may prolong throughout May
and perhaps into June the session OF
the legislature, because of the neces
sity of enacting a new apportionment
the court holding that unless this is
done the next election for members OF
either house must be held under the
apportionment laid down in the CON
stitution of 1895, which the reappor'
tionment act Of 1906 was intended to
supersede. a.
The decision was by divided court
four to two, and there are five opin'
ions, three supporting and two dis
senting.
Thirty-four OF the old senatorial dis.
tricts within the several counties are
directly affected Only 16 of the sen
ate districts represented In the pres
ent senate are the same as under the
former apportionment ~.
