He denied specifically that he had ar
ranged with Herman to purchase the
property or had ever been willing to
do so. He stated that he owned
one-half interest in the Miller group
of claims adjoining the Champian
and had made a proposition to Her
man that the two companies be join

100000 shares of stock of 81 par

to be kept in the treasury, and Miller
and the owners of the Champion were
to receive certain pro rata. Her
man was to get $4,000 shares for
his work in incorporating the COM
pany and closing the consolidation.

Eddy would be telling professional

motion on the ground that a third
party had been present at all confer

attorney and client and the matter
of their conversation could not be
secret. Eddy testified that he had
been appointed Miller's attorney in

Judge Brown called attention to the
fact that in their answer to the COM
plaint of the plaintiff they had set up
counter claim for the $500 al
legged TO have been paid to Herman.
AS there was no evidence to show that
this amount had been given him he
would not sustain that motion. He

Thaw will remain in the Poughkeep- sic jail pending an application of his counsel to Justice Bowling of the su- preme court, for change of the or der committing him to the state hos pital for the insane at Matteawan. This decision was rendered by Justice Merschauser of PoughkeepsIe. after hearing arguments of counsel in this city to-day on a motion to transfer Thaw to any state asylum other than an asylum for insane convicts. Jus tlce Morschauser expressed the opin- ion that 1t might be better for Thaw to be incarcerated In some other asy- lum than the one at Matteawan as 1t was evident that strained relations existed between the head of the Mat teawan institution and Thaw.
 Col. Franklin Bartlett and James c, Graham of Newburgh appeared for Tha@ Col Bartlett contended that Thaw could legally be transferred to any other state hospital for the insane and in the argument for the transfer counsel asserted that Thaw would personally rather be In the tombs or Poughkeepsie prison than in Mat teawan District Attorney Jerome said that he personally had no objection 10 the transfer of Thaw to some other hospital if he were convinced that it was for Thaw's good and that there was no danger of his escape
 Justice Morschauser stated that he could not go back of Justice Dow ling's order sending Thaw to Mattea- wan but in view of the statements that Thaw might not recover there because of the feeling he has toward ! the head of the institution he would stay the execution of the order recon hitting him until such time as Thaws counsel could ask Justice Bowling for change of the original order.
