Is the boss mailman Of this ward His
friend and conhdant Is Savariau dc
Angels who shot man in this city.
One of their associates is John G. Roth
who attempted to kin the Rev Dr.
John Hall on the steps OF his church IN
1891.
Then there was old Quimbo Apo
the Chinaman. who has been waiting
in the asylum for an army of millions
of men to come across the Hudson
river and rescue him. The most irri-
table of these madmen have patience
with old Quimbo Only Thaw has
turned against the aged Chlnaman
Quimbo bores Thaw and Ihaw has
never been accustomed to being bored.
When Thaw walked back to the ward
after his wife's visit yesterday after
noon he was not in the mood to tank
with the other madmeu. He retired
to the private room that had been ar
ranged for him
Through the early hours Of the night
Thaw was quiet From the long row
Of white beds on which lay the other
sleeping madmen could be heard shores
with an occasional groan as some BRAIN
diseased patient tossed uneasily on his
bed. Now and then some sleeper
would cry out, but such noise did not
disturb the others. Only newcomers
are kept from sleep by these sounds.
However, it was all too much for Thaw
He tossed uneasily in his bed in the
private room for hours. Then the
old Thaw temperate temper that
marked his career from early child
hood until the night he shot Stanford
White to death-boiled over.
Thaw leaped from his bed with a
bound and stalked into ward 1, de-
handing quiet. His voice roared loud
err and louder The other patients,
easily excited, all bounded from their
cots, and for a time the ward was IN
an uproar. Thaw, standing in the door
way of his private room, brandished
dis arms and his voice sounded ABOVE
the gibbering and the chatter of the
other madmen. He appeared madden
than the others in his excitement and
anger, and he continued to yell his
orders for quiet.
Attendants came from the other
wards. Thaw's ffty-eight companions
were bowled over man after man, anC
the more excited were held fast tc
their cots and ordered to keep still.
One of the attendants took ThaN
by the arm and led him into his room
He was told to go to bed and the com
maRd was the sort that even ThaU
was forced to respect
"Ill be as mad as the maddest o
these" he told the attendant. If
stay in this place a week I'll 90 mad,
tell YOU" The attendant guarded Thav
for a time and pacified him. Thel
when the millionaire seemed sleeping
he slipped from the room and tiptoet
across the ward between the long lin
of crazy sleepers.
NEW YORK, February 4.-If tn
counsel of Martin w. LittletOn pre-
walls, it does not appear to be likel
that an early attempt will be mad
to have Harry X. Thaw released fror
Matteawan asylum on habeas cOrpu
7 proceeding. Mr.. Littleton said toda
l that there is no occasion to obtai
a writ of habeas corpus for Thaw's re
lease.
l Harry Thaw has been acquitted G
the charge of murder and is not
81 criminal" said he. He is at Mates
wan for the purpose of observatio
only. If the conditions and surround
ings there are such that his health ma
be impaired, it is incumbent upon tn
l state board of lunacy to have him re
S moved to an institution where othe
. conditions and surroundings prevail
Daniel ORielly, another of Thaw
t attorneys, went to Matteawan today
. consult with the prisoner regardin
/ possible future steps looking to his re
lease from custody.
