THAW DETERMINED
Demands to be Removed from Matteawan Asylum
 at Once.
TO PRIVATE SAMITARIUM
LittIcton Rctircs from Casc--Tbought Thaw Should Remain in
 Asylum.


 Fishkin Landing, N. Y. Feb. 4.-- Harry Thaw is determined to leave Matteawan state hospital, and at a Con ference to-day, informed his counsel that they must take action at once to secure his release, Thaw told lawyers Peabody and O'Reilly that he was willing to go to a private sanitarium if necessary, but that he must be re- moved from Matteawan. During the day Dr. Graeme Hammond and Dr. Jelliffe, the alienists retained by the Thaw family, visited Thaw for some time. Lawyer OReilly said that ev- erything would be done that could be done to get Thaw away from Mattea- wan as the depressing surroundings were such as would tell on a man of his temperament.

New York, Feb. An extended con- ference of counsel for Harry Thaw was held here tonight to discuss what le- gal means should be taken to secure Thaw's removal from Matteawan state asylum. The result of the conference was not disclosed, but it was learned on excellent authority that Martin W. Littleton who defended Thaw in the last trial. has practically retired from the case.
 It was shown that Mir. Littleton's connection with the case would cease when the jury returned it's verdict, but at the request of his associates he con scented to lend them his aid until he started south on his vacation, although his personal views on the status of Thaw's case following the rendition of the verdict differed very materially from the views of other lawyers in the case. It is known Mir. Littleton be- lieved Thaw should be left in Mattea- wan at least for several months to come.
