DR.. Baker Claims
ThaW Is Insane.

Poughkeepsie, ~ Y, May DIR
Amos T. Baker. superintendent OF the
MattaeWan state hospital, in his re-
turn today to the writ of habeaS cor
pus obtained by counsel for Harry X
Thaw, denies the allegations in the pc
tition of counsel that Thaw is now
sane and alleges on the contrary that
Thaw is insane. DR.. Baker has had
Thaw under observation during his
confinement in Mattaewan following
the trial for the Staying of Stanford
White
District Attorney Mack of DutchesS
county informed The Associated Press
tonight that he had been advised by
Justice Morschauser that the number
of expert witnesses to be called in the
Thaw haheas corpus proceedings
would be limited to five on each side.
Mr.. Mack telephoned this decision to
Assistant District Attorney Garvan
and also to James G.. Graham, counsel
for Harry K. Thaw. in order that they
could make their arrangements ac-
cordingly.
Mr.. Mack states that the law gives
the court discretion in the number of
expert witnesses that may be sworn
in as to insanity or character. This
principal has been followed in a num-
Der If cases. Justice Morschauser's de-
cision to limit the number of expert
witnesses on each side is taken as an
indication of his intention 10 have the
Thaw habeas corpus proceedings, when
they ale resumed in the supreme court
here next Monday conducted expedi-
tiously and without extravagant ex-
penditures of the public money.
Mrs. William Thaw arrived Tuesday
at Poughkeepsie, \. Y, and passed the
day with her son. Harry X. Thaw, in
Sheriff Chambers apartments in the
courthouse. Mrs Thaw was accom-
panied by Harry Van Cleef, whose

family.
