ter for her to obey the mandate of the court for the time being.
 Justice Bowling. it is said: had been consulted in the matter before he signed the order of commitment, and informally had advised Thaw's coun- sel against making an immediate con- test The prisoners consent was not won until after a lively scene with his attorneys and his wife, the latter pleading with him for more than an hour to be content for a time with what fate had given.
 Under the promise that some ac- tion would speedily be taken looking to the appointment of a commission to inquire into his present sanity or for his transfer to a private institu- tiOn where his wife and other mem bers of his family might reside with him, Thaw consented to go without further protest. On his way to Mat teawan Thaw dictated the following statement to a representative of the Associated Press: 'I am perfectly sane now but 1 am going to Mattea- wan on the advice of my counsel, who thought it unwise to sue for writ of habeas corpus at this time. My counsel will proceed in the matter of my release just as soCn as they can get together the proofs they will pre- sent that I am at present sane I am confident that my stay at Matteawan will be for short period of time only"
 Thaw was accompanied from the TOmbs to the railroad station by his wife and Josiah Thaw, his brother His attorneys, A. Russell Peabody and Daniel O'Reilly went with him to Mat teawan. Littleton is understood to have talked very plainly to Thaw while the subject of suing out a writ of habeas corpus was under discus sion. Upon one exception filed by Littleton. Justice Bowling had granted a delay until 3 o'clock in the execu- tion of the commitment papers so that his counsel might consult with the de- fendant.
 Littleton informed Thaw, so 1t is stated, that there is such thing as public sentiment in New York"
 But I shall not go to Matteawan," Thaw is reported to have replied many times
 You will have to go." replied Lit tleton. It was later remarked that Littleton went neither to the station nor to the asylum with his client. He was said to be well nigh worn out. however, from hard work during the trial. Thaw had no opportunity to bid his mother farewell.

In Consequence of a Verdict of ACquittaI
 He is Transferred to Matteawan
He and His Mother Rebel Against That Order But Are Persuaded to Postpone Efforts for the Deten- daut'S Complete Freedom.

New York, Feb. 1.-Adiudged not guilty of the murder of Stanford White by reason of insanity at the time of the shooting. Harry K Thaw today was held by the court to be a dangerous lunatic and was whirled away to the state hospital for the criminal insane at Matteawan. It was a quick transition from the dingy young mans home for more than eighteen months. to the white bedded wards of the big asylum on the snow covered sloping banks of the Hudson river
 The verdict came after twenty-five hours waiting, and when every one connected with the case had aban- doned all hope of an agreemfnt ever being reached in this or any other trial Four hours after the foreman's lips had framed the words mot guilty" with the accompanying in sanity clause. Thaw protesting that he was sane was on his way to Mattea wan. A little after nightfall he had been received at the institution un der commitment papers which direct ed his detention until discharged by due course of law
 The first thrill of the words of ac- quittal brought Thaw to his feet in the room and with the lack of grace of action which has always character ized his movements. he awkwardly and almost haughtily bowed his acknowl edgments to the twelve iurymen as they were discharged by the court. A smile played about his pallid features and there was every reason to believe that he was entirely pleased with the outcome. It was after he had heard the words of Justice Bowling commit ting him to Watteawan on the ground that his release, in the opinion of the court. would endanger public safety and after the elatiOn of his verdict had died away. that Thaw rebelled.
 He commanded his attorneys fmme diately to sue out d writ of haDeaS corpus to have his sanity tested be- fore he was sent to the institution where the insane of criminal tenden- cies are confined. Mrs. William Thaw. from the hotel where she received over the telephone the news of the trials end, joined in the demand of her son. Martin W.

with" and Deputy Sheriff Bell. who had him in charge. was anxious to take the first train up the Hudson. Both his mother and Wife will visit Matteawan on Monday. Thaw was cheered by a crowd of several hun dred as he was whirlCd away from the TomDs Tn ms WIGS automobile. If he heard he paid no heed. The machine was so filled with deputies and mem bers of counsel that neither Thaw nor his wife was visible to the waiting throng. A special car was attached to the regular express over the New York Central. Thaw smoked and talked with his counsel throughout the journey.
 From the moment word came from the jury room at 12:4O pm. that d report was about to be made. the closing events of the famous case moved almost with iaconic rapidity. For day and night there had been absolute silence on the part of the jury; not a report of any sort had come to the court and when Justice Bowling came to the chambers late he announced that he would not send for the jury until it sent for him. The report of last night that the jury stood & to 4 for acquittal on the ground of insanity was persisted in up to the very time it announced it's intention of coming into court.
 Few spectators were allowed in the room and an incipient demonstration was stopped by the officers when they arrested Theodore Roosevelt Pell for a burst of applause. Pell was fined $25 for contempt of court by Judge Bowling. Mrs. Evelyn Thaw and Jo- siah Thaw were the only members of the prisoners family in the court room when the verdict was announced The young woman thanked individually each member of the jury and followed Littleton's example of shaking hands with them.
 Jerome was almost as well pleased as Thaw's counsel He has contended from the first that Thaw was prac- tically if not legally insane. His ef- forts this year plainly had not been directed toward a verdict of murder in the first degree. Jerome congrat- ulated Littleton and both counsel and jury joined in congratulation to Jus tice Bowling, who presided with SC much satisfaction to both sides. As far as lies within his power. Jerome will resist any effort to have Thaw liberated at any time in the near fu- tur1 Neither will he willingly con- sent to his transfer to a san.tarium.
