Will remain in the Poughkeepsie Jail
pending an application Of his counsel
10 Justice Dowlng, OF the supreme

Colonel Franklin Bartlett contended
that Thaw could be legally transferred
TO any other state asylum for the in

would rather be in the Tombs or in
Poughl.eepsie prison than in Mattea.
wan. District Attorney Jerome said
that he personally had no objection to
the transfer of Thaw to some other
hospital II he were convinced that il
was for Thaw's good and that there
was no danger OF his escape.
Justice Morschauser stated that he
could not so back of Justice Dow
ling's order sending Thaw to Mat
teawan, but, in view of statements
that Thaw might not recover there be-
cause of feeling toward the head OF
the institution, he would stay the exc.
|cntion of the order recommitting him
until such time as Thaw's counsel
could ask Justice Dowing for change
lof the original order.
The first meeting between Thaw
and his wife since his attempt TO Sc
cure his release from Matteawan took
ppface yesterday in Thaw's quarters
in the Poughkeepsie jail. The visit
evidently was prearranged. for Thaw
was waiting to greet MS wife when
her name was announced. The meet
ing between them was private and
they lunched together.

HUMAN MONSTERS.
Degenerates Who Have Reveled In
Deeds Of Blood. @ n 5

Deeds Of Blood.
No country is free from nightmare
creatures, twisted natures apparently
born without the slightest respect for
human life. Some, indeed, seem ac-
tually to take a horrible delight in the
destruction Of their fellow creatures.
Such one was Alfred Knapp, execut-
ed at Hamilton, o., in August, 1908,
for the murder of his wife and four
other women. After his conviction
and when he saw that no hope Of life
remained he coolly admitted that he
had been strangler for years, pounc-
Ing on little children. throttling them
to death and hiding their bodies.
The "human MOLE was a German
degenerate whose horrible crimes
shocked not only Germany but the
whole world. Johann Bobbe was his
name Though thin and weak looking,
his hands and arms were abnormally
developed, and his finger nails were
simply claws. Without any other tools
than his hands he could burrow into
the solid earth.
He had little tobacco shop in a
back street in Berlin, and here he ex-
cavated a deep pit under the floor and
arranged trapdoor over it. At the
bottom Of the pit was huge iron
spike. He would decoy his victims
on to this trap and hurl them down to
be impaled on the spike below.
No one knows the full tale of his vic
tins. A deep pit was found in the
yard adjacent, which was half full of
moldering human remains. Among
others was Bobbe's own wife.
Another German criminal Of sim
liar type was the schoolteacher Muel-
Ter. who was arrested on suspicion of
murder at Duernburg near Bayreuth.
Evidence against him was only cir
cumstantial. and it seemed that he
might escape till the magistrate had
the remains Of a widow, who was sup.
posed to be victim Of his, dug up,
and Mueller was confronted with them
Then he broke down and confessed tc
string of murders extending over a
period of eight years. The details were
SO terrible that the court was cleared
and later the magistrate himself came
out white and shaken.--London An
