HAD RIGHT TO BOOST
MARTINDALE'S SALARY

In a decision handed down Friday
morning, and signed by Judges Hos
mer, Murphy. Rohnert and Donovan,
the bill for an injunction to restrain
the board OF education from paying To
Supt. Martindale the increased salary
voted him year ago, was dismissed.
Supt Martindale's salary was IN
creased from $4,000 TO $4,000, and
suit was brought to restrain the pay
ment OF the increase. The suit was
brought in the name Of John e. Bird,
attorney general, by number Of De-
troit citizens. including ]. l.. Hudson,
Richard r.. Joy and others. The pay
ment was opposed on the ground that
when Supt Martindale was engaged
his salary was fixed al $4,000 per an
nam, and the board had no right to
change the salary OF an officer. The
board argued that the superintendent
was not an Official, but q teacher, and
his salary could be changed ut viii
and the judges so held.

THAW ON THE STAND
EA MINED BY JEROME.
Taking of Evidence Ends-Decision
Expected Mau 20.

Poughkeepsie, y. Y, May 16-Harry X
Thaw's plea for his liberty from Matteawan In
Asylum. where he has been confined since
his acquittal for the murder Of Stanford White
on the ground Of insanity will probably be de-
cided by Judge Morschauser on Monday, May ~.
The hearing in the habeas corpus proceedings
brought by counsel for Thaw ended late tonight.
after District Attorney William Travers Jerome
Of New York had made the sensational request
that Thaw. whom he had called the stand,
permit his alienists TO examine Thaw and judge
of his mental condition, heretofore they had
Rad no opportunity TO converse with the de-
fendant.
Thaw not permitted to respond. the court
itself telling him not to do The judge, how
ever. suggested that Thaw confer with his coun-
SCI. and that perhaps they might decide that it
would be wise TO grant the request.
ThaR. hfs lawyers. Messrs. Graham and Pea
hodv. and Drs. Pilgrim Evans and Jeliffe. who
had testified that Thaw sane, vent into
the judges private room and after a conference
lasting little over hour came back into the
courtroom and said that Thaw would submit
10 a personal examination, but not by the alien
lists who had appeared for Mr.. Jerome The
alienists who should make this examination, it
was stated. should be selected from some who
had never appeared in the case Another condi-
tion was that the examination should la
should rot be founded testimony of previous
trials
District Attorney Jerome instantly rejected
these terms. saying he would deserve TO be COM
mitted to al asylum himself if he should accept
them, and there the question ended.
Thaw was on the stand only a short time
before jerome sprang his surprise, and answered
the few questions put 10 him generally without
much hesitation. The first question. regarding
the nature Of the proceedings. caused him some
rerplexitY. but he finally answered deliberately
that he seeking the rights of American
citizen.
Both sides have agreed TO offer no arguments
in the case, but each viii present briefs on the
Constitutional question raised by Thaws
at the beginning of the hearing. to the effect
that Thaw-s commitment to Natteawan was un-
constitutional These briefs viii be handed in
carly next week. Thaw viii remain In the
nutchess County Courthous until the decision
s rendered.
