.TAAw FREE Man
OUT OF hEWYoRk
IF CALLED TO PITrsBURa TO
ATTEND BANKRUPTCY PRO-
CEEDINGS, WILL BE LEGALLY

New York, Aug. 14.-That Harry
X, Thaw will be free within q
month is the opinion Of prominent
New York lawyers. Eugene Phil.
bin. formerly district attorney. said:
There is no doubt that once
Thaw steps foot outside Of New
York state he will be free man, or
IL not actually free, can be made so
by a writ of habsas corpus. Harry
Thaw was not convicted Of any
crime. He was acquitted on the
ground OF insanity. Judge Dow
ling. believing 1t to be for the good
Of the state, committed Thaw to
Nattewan. This commitment is le-
gal only in New York.
"If the federal authorities demand
Thaw's presence at the bankruptcy
proceedings in Pittsburg. those who
have Thaw in custody have no other
course than to produce him. The
service of subpoena on either
Thaw or the New York authorities
would require his keepers to turn
him over to a United States marsha
who would take him to Pittsburg
Once across the river and in New
Jersey he would be legally free. ant
sc long as he is kept out OF th'
| state Of New York he would have NJ
fear Of Imprisonment"
John F. Mcintyre. leading law
yer Of the criminal bar concurret
| in this opinion.
