JEROME ACCEDES TO PLAN

White Plains, x. Y, July f3.-Pro- ceedings in Harry K. Thaw's applica- ton for jury trial to determine his mental condition were today adjourn ed until the September term of the su- preme court of Westchester county. This arrangement was entered into be- fore Judge Mills by Charles Morsch- auser, Thaw's counsel and District Attorney Jerome of New York In the meantime Thaw will remain in the custody of Sheriff Chanler of Dutchess county and will stay In the jail at Poughkeepsie. This decision of the court is regarded by Thaw as a great victory. To get out of Matteawan Is his one idea, and now that he will be able to spend the summer away from the state hospital he Is overjoyed.
 The agreement to adjourn the pro- ceedings to September had been sub scribed to by Mir. Jerome and counsel for Thaw before the case was called When the stipulation was presented 10 Judge Mills he said at first that ne did not approve the agreement inas- much as counsel were not agreed as to where Thaw should remain in the mean time. A representative of Mir. Jerome who was present finally, join | ed in the request that rhaw be re- ! manded to the Poughkeep sic jail after | Mir Morschauser had threatened to 1 withdraw from the agreement and in- sist upon an immediate hearing on the main point at issue.
 Justice Mills then gave his approval to the proposed adjournment and d. rected that Thaw be remanded to the custody of the Duchess county sheriff until September 21, when he will be again produced before Judge Mills at White Plains and arguments will be made on the application for jury trial.
 Thaw expected his wife to meet him in the courtroom here and expressed himself as greatly disappointed wher she did not arrive on an early trair from New York
 On the trip here from Poughkeepsl, Thaw was accompanied by deputy sheriff, his counsel. and Roger O'Mara the Pittsburg detective. and olt friend of the family
 As Thaw was getting on the train a Poughkeepsie he met Judge Josepl Morschauser, who recently denied Thaw's request to be transferred iron the Matteawan asylum for the crim inal insane. Thaw shook hands cor dially with the judge, who greeted tht prisoner kindly. Judge Morschause was on his way 10 White Plains to si In another court.
 Coming down on the train Thaw sait that he had no feeling of any nature against Judge Morschauser for decin ing to commit him to some other asy. lum than the one at Matteawan.
 MT. Morschauser brought with hin for presentation to the court severa afiidaVits Tn support of his application to have Thaw detained in the Pough. keepse jail while the proceedings be- fore Judge Mills were pendings Ono affidavit was by Dr. Sillo, Thaws family physician in New York, who said.
