 Person and Property - Justice Mor-
 sohauser's Decision Holds Him. New York, May 26.-Coincident with Justice Morschauser's decision that Harry K. Thaw is still insane and that | it would be a menace to the commu- nity to give him his liberty it became known that Thaw and his wife, Eve l lyn Nesbit Thaw, have become recon | ciled. So far have the peace negotia- tions progressed that Evelyn has con- sented to drop the action, which she began last March, to have their mar riage annulled on the ground of the prisoners insanity.
 When the hearing in the annulment action is called in Referee Robert F.. Deyos office, Daniel O'Reilly, repre- | senting Mrs. Evelyn Thaw, will move ! to discontinue the suit. Very little tes- timony has been taken by Referee Deyo, and the action has not pro- gressed much beyond the preliminary stage.
 There have been four postponements in the case, equally divided between the parties to the suit, and at no time has there seemed to be an overwhelm- ing desire on the part of either side to have decision rendered.
 Wants to Be Husbands Guardian. The discontinuance of the annulment action will leave young Mrs. Thaw in the position of being the wife of an insane man, and as such it is under stood that she will immediately make application to have herself appointed a committee of his person and property. In support of her application she will have the decision of Justice Morschau- ser that her husband is still insane and the testimony of the experts called her husbands trial that he was insane on the day he made his will, which was the day of his marriage.
 Fearing just such move on Evelyn Thaw's part, it is understood Mrs. Will liam Thaw is on her way to this city and that she will endeavor to circum- vent the plans of her sons wife by having herself named as the committee of her sons estate.
 Several things have contributed to the new turn in Thaw's domestic af- fairs. Of these none has done more to bring the young couple together again than the prisoners strong love for the woman who bears his name. It now transpires that despite the action be- gun by Evelyn Thaw to gain her free dom she has been corresponding regu- larly with her husband and that they have at all times been the best of friends.
 Will Resume Visits.
 It was thought best that Evelyn Thaw should not visit her husband at Mstteawan and Poughkeepsie while the habeas corpus proceedings for his release were in preparation and on trial; but. now that the court has ruled against him. she will resume her visits 10 him. Thaw will remain in the Poughkeepsie jail while his counsel tries to persuade District Attorney Je- rome to allow the prisoner to be re- turned to some other state institution for the insane. It is expected that Mrs. Thaw will visit hlm there. for the first time in more than two months. It was learned that District Attorney Jerome will exhaust every resource at his command 10 prevent Thaw from being returned to any other institution than Matteawan. It is said that he will not listen to the proposition of Thaw being sent to Poughkeepsie. as it is from that institution that one of the experts who testified in Thaw's behalf came
 Mr. Graham announced that the pro posed appeal from Judge Morsehau- ser's decision declaring Thaw still in- sane would be based on the question of the validity of Judge Dowling's com mitment. sending Thaw 10 Mattea- wan.
 Nc Release For Months. An appeal cannot be argued before fall. % there appears to be no doubt whatever that Thaw will continue un- der strict restraint during the summer at least
