Thaw is constitutional.
District Attorney Mack, in fact,
| has been aiding the justice in the
search for a law that will make it
possible to send Thaw back to Mat

There Is every reason to believe
that the court will find Thaw insane
but will not be able to find law
upon which to recommend him to the
Matteawan institution.
This brings about the situation that
was prognosticated last week. 1t
makes it imperative upon the court
to commit Thaw to some ins,itation
for the insane.
1t also brings about a situation
that it is understood is causing no
end of fear in the Thaw faily, and
which, ii is said, accounts for the
elder Mrs. Thaw and Thaw's sister.
Mrs. Carnegie. spending the afternoon
with the prisoner.
1t is fearde by the Thaw family
that If the Judge decides that Thaw
is insane it will open the way to
Evelyn. his wife, to make application
to be appointed committee of his
peers for his estate, in which event
Evelyn will gain complete control OF
Thaw's money and property,
