understood to have talked very plain

suing out writ of habeas corpus
was under discussion. Upon an ex-
/ ception filed by Mr.. Littleton, Justice
j Bowling had granted delay until

cussion. It was remarked later that
Mr.. Littleton went neither to the sta
ton nor to the asylum with his
client. He was said to be well nigh
worn out, however from his ardous
work during the trial, which was rush
/ ed to it's conclusion at the highest
possible speed, and with the trying
wait for verdict.
Thaw had no opportunity to bid his
mother farewell. The courts order

Sheriff Bell, who had him in charge.

Daniel O'Reilly announced at Fish
kill landing tonight that when writ
of habeas corpus is sued out in Thaw's
behalf-if such an action shall be de
cided upon in the near future-the
application probably will be made at
/ Poughkeepsie, N. Y, the county seat
of Duchess county, in which Matte
wan is located.

automobile from the criminal courts
building, but the crowd in White
street became SO dense the chauffeur
was directed to drive into the Tombs
yard. The party then crossed the
Bridge of Signs" leading to the pri-
son and entered the waiting vehicle
without trouble. Few people at the
Grand Central station knew of Thaw's
coming and the party was little not
