The justice declares that Thaw is now
insane and should not be allowed at

prisoner will be kept in the Jail here
until Justice Morsehauscr renders a
decision The justice is holding court
a, White Plains this week and will
not be able to hear the application
before next week Justice Morsehau-
scr's decision is as follows:
Upon application duly made, writ
OF habeas corpus was allowed by
which Harry X, Thaw was directed
TO be produced in court. In the peti'
ton. il is alleged that said Thaw is
illegally imprisoned and restrained ot
his liberty by Amos T. Baker. acting
superintendent Of Matteawan state
hospital, state institution for the in
sane.
Thaw's detention is attacked upon
he grounds;
I'irst-That he is now sane.
Sccond-That the act and the pro-
visions OF which he was committed

quences of such act solely by reason
of his existing mental condition, do
not deem it proper to allow Thaw his
freedom, suffering as he is from some
form of insanity with the possible
recurrence of an attack similar to that
which the jury believed he was suffer
ing from when he killed Stamford
White.
In view of the existing mental con-
dition of said Thaw, the safety of the
public is better ensured by his remain
ing in custody and under observation
until he has recovered or until such
time as it shall be reasonably certain
that there is no danger of recurring
attack OF the delusion or whatever it
may be. The writ is dismissed. The
order remanding the said Harry K.
Thaw can be settled on notice pursu
ant to stipulation.

and detained IL unconstitutional and
the court was without jurisdiction TO
issue the order Of commitment and
such order was null and void.
The return TO the writ alleges that
the said 'Thaw Is now insane and that
the statute providing for the conflnc-
ment OF said Thaw is constitutional
and valid and that the court had jur-
isdiction to make the order OF com
mittmcnt. The return Is traverscd by
the relator
The events leading up to the CONT
mcnt Of Thaw, are, in brief as follaws;
On June rs, 1900, Thaw shot and
killed Stamford White. He was in
dictcd for this act in the county Of
New York and the Indictment charg-
cd with murder in the first degree.
On January 23, 1907, he was brought
10 trial on the indictment and during
the progress Of this trial, on applca-
ton OF the District Attorney under
Section 658 Of the Code Of Criminal
Procedure, commission was duly
appointed to ascertain whether at the
time OF the trial said Thaw was in a
state Of idiocy, lunacy or insanity SO
as to be incapable Of rightly under
standing the nature Of the charge
against him and OF conducting his de-
Tense in rational manner The com
mission aftcrward returned TO the
court that Il was their opinion that at
the time Of their examination said
Thaw was sane and was capable oi
understanding his own condition and
the nature Of the charge against hin
and conducting his defense in ra
tional manner This conclusion wal
reached in accordance with the pur
(, pose OF the statute. The trial pro
cceded and resulted in disagreement
Of the jury. On the sixth OF Januar!
1908. said Thaw was again tried OF
said indictment and acquitted on tn,
ground OF insanity. Thereupon tn
learned justice presiding at the trial
upon the evidence made an order re
citing the vcrdnct and that the cour
deemed the discharge OF said Thav
at that time to be dangerous to publ
safety, and directing that said Thay
be detained in safe custdy and be sen
10 the Matteawan state hospital, ther
to be kept until discharged by du
process OF law. The proof and evi
dence on the part Of the respective
parties have been ably presented am
the matter has been submitted
| Thaw, at the time Of his trial 70
| homicide. as defense, pleaded in
sanity and presented proof to shoy
his insanity at the time Of the killing
OF White, and by the proof offered o.
his behalf, the jury was convince'
that he was insane and acquitted hir
upon that ground.
| am satisfied from the evidenc

necessarily lengthen this opinion.

GREATER ENSLEY ELECTION MONDAY Will Vote on the Annexation of
 Wylam
INTEREST IN JUDGESHlP
Fi9e Candidates Are Now In the Field and the Vote Is Expected To Be the Largest Ever Polled
 In Enoley.

Bnsley, October 15.-(special.)-Next Monday, October 19, an election will be held to determine whether Ensley and Wylam will consolidate into Greater Ems ley. This movement was started some months ago by the Commercial club of Ensley, which invited a committee of the citizens of Wylam to meet with them and confer on the subject. The matter was discussed and the city councils of the two cities appointed such a committee to draw up the plan of consolidation. The plan proposed by the joint committee met with some opposition, and when the mat ter came up before the city council of Ensley a resolution was offered by the president of the Commercial club asking that the question be left to the citizens of the two municipalities and the date Of election set for October 19.
 Owing to the recent municipal election and the present lively race for the judge of the inferior court the question of con- solidation has not been pushed to any great extent. However, the election Mon day will bring out good vote, as the people are becoming interested in the project

DALLAS FARMERS ADOPT
 MORE PROGRESSIVE IDEAS

position manifested here to the Overton amendment because of a fear that it will throw down the bars to the legisla- ture to filch from the treasury. This peo- pie are hard to be weaned away from the proposition that what was good enough for father is good enough for me-" but there are many who see the folly of such, and are striving might and main to secure a majority for the amendment, believing that the building of good roads will be given an impetus by its adoption.
 A prominent citizen who has lived in the canebrake section states that he will vote for anything that looks like foster ing good roads. He tells how in one year the repairs upon his wagons used to haul his cotton two and one-half miles amount ed to s76 45, and he paid out over $50 another year on repairs on one wagon alone, the damage being done by the mis- erable prairie roads.
 On the subject of immigration J. B. Ellis made an interesting talk at the meeting of the Commercial and Industrial association a few nights ago. He gave facts and figures showing that the coun- try needed more laborers and more intel lgent labor.
