THAW ORDERED
 BACK TO ASYLU M Justice Mills Sends Prisoner to Matteawan Pending Appeal
 to New York Court
 of Appeals,
ON QUESTION OF TRIAL
Higher Court VIII Decide Whether Harry Thaw Is Entitled to n Jury Hearing on Ills
 Insanity,

White Plains, N r., Oct. 12.-Harry K, Thaw will have to remain in the state hospital for the criminal insane at Matteawan, N. Y., until the court of appeals shall decide whether he is entitled to q hearing before jury to determine whether he is Insane. Jus tico Mills of the New York state su- preme court recently refused to grant the application of Thaw's counsel for q jury trial on the sanity question and decided to hear the case himself with out a jury. ThaW was brought Into court to-day and his mother and aev- eral relatives were present. The pris- oner's counsel again moved for n jury trial and when this was denied ask ed that Thaw be discharged from cus- tody on the ground that the jury in the last trial for murder did not find Thaw insane. This, also, was denied. Thaw's counsel then declared that they had appealed to the New York state court of appeals from the decis- lon refusing jury trial and that until the higher court had given a  decision they would submit no evil dence on the question of Thaw's san lty
 Justice Mills said there was no other alternative than for Thaw to be re- turned to Matteawan asylum and he was ordered to be returned to that in- stitution.
 District Attorney Jerome of New York, who withdrew from the case when Justice Mills refused to transfer 1t to New York. aid not appear in court today
 An order committing Thaw to Mat teawan asylum was signed by Justice Mills this afternoon and he was taker back to that institution. Dr Baker acting superintendent of the asylum said he would produce Thaw in Pitts burg if he were served with an order to that effect
