AFFEcTIONATE SCENE WHEN
SHE WENT TO THE PRISON AND
GREETED HiM-SHE ISSUES A
LONG STATEMENT.

New York, June 13.-Harry K.
Thaw will not remain committed to
Matteawan very long. He will prob
ably be transferred to some other in
stitution next week by Justice Dowl-
ing, to whom application will be made
for modification of his committing or
der. This was made plain by Justice
Joseph Morschauser, of Duchess coun-
ty who heard argument on the writ
to remove Thaw from Matteawan.
The hearing was at the Bar asso-
citation. District Attorney Jerome OPP
posed the motion. The probability is
that Thaw will be sent to the Middle
town Homeopathic hospital for the
surroundings and all the liberties I'M
der guard that he can desire.
Affectionate Scene.
For the first time since last Febru
airy Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw this
morning visited her husband, Harry
K Thaw, who is still living in Sheriff
Chan1er's apartments in the county
courthouse Jail at Poughkeepsie.
When Mrs. Thaw was ushered into
her husbands apartments they kiss
ed each other and Immediately shut
out all outsiders.
Mrs. Thaw said. when the newspap-
er man was introduced: IL think I
should make some statement, for my
coming is SO unexpected that it will
be surprising, and l will give you
something to print"
At this point Mr.. Thaw volunteered
to typewrite her statement. Up to
this time she had not noticed that he
had typewriter in his apartments
and she expressed surprise.
Il didn't know you could run one of
these machines" she said, smiling at
her husband. who was uncovering the
writing machine.
Go ahead with your statement"
he responded, and she began to die
tate
The statement verbatim as she then
dictated it to her husband follows:
Il do not care to discuss our domes-
tic affairs at the present time. ! am
very much dissatisfied with the turn
affairs have taken in the proceedings
held at Poughkeepsie. 1t was not my
fault that | was not called as a wit
ness for Mr.. Thaw at the last trial,
but the fault of his lawyers. l was
ready to come here, and. in fact, anx-
ious, and awaited call at any mo-
ment, but they did not send for me.
Says Spouse Is Sane.
Il think that Matteawan is the last
place on earth that Mr.. Thaw should
be sent to- and feel just as | did last
February when / visited him there
and saw what an awful place it was,
and wish to say right here that moth
ing that Jerome has to say on the sub
ject should be taken into consider
alton, as from experience and obser.
walton | have learned that his judg.
ment on any subject is not worth con.
sidering.
THE insinuations that Harry is not
sane are preposterous and ridiculous
have known him for seven years, and
If any one should be a competent
judge | think | should be- / at least
should know as much about him as
alienists to whom he refused to talk
or allow himself to be examined.
agree with Mr.. Jerome in one thing
where he made the statement at the
last trial that alienists are a disgrace
to the administration of the law"
Neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Thaw would
discuss their domestic affairs, except
to say that they cared to have nothing
to say at the present. 1t is under
stood, however, that they are anxious
to become reconciled, but there is
some hidden influence that is inter
fering with this desire.
