ThaW Is a dangerously insane person,

In another phase of Thaw's effort
for freedom Justice Mills heard argu-
ment at White Plains after issuing
writ of habeas corpus on Saturday on
Thaw's application for jury trial to
determine his sanity at the present
time.
The justice adjourned the case until
July 13, when further argument will
be heard, ordering Thaw returned to
the prison at Poughkeepsie in the
meantime.
Unlike Justice Bowling, Justice
Mills seemed distinctly to favor a
trial by jury to determine Thaw's
sanity. Justice Mills said after the
argument:
II believe it should be only mat
ter of time when this man should have
jury trial. am not prepared to
say whether it should be now or
later"
