cording to dispatch to the Express

teaWan Asylum.
Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June 29.-
Harry ThaW has obtained a new writ
OF habeas corpus returnable before SUI
preme Court Justice Mills at White
Plains, when counsel for Thaw will
endeavor to secure a jury trial to pass
upon his mental condition.
The writ was served on Under Sher-
iii Townsend in anticipation of Judge
Mors chauser's signing an order re.
committing Thaw to Matteawan. The
writ has the effect of holding Thaw
here until the sheriff will be required
to produce him before Judge Mills at
White Plains.
The petition on which Judge Mills
granted the new writ is made by A.
Russell Peabody as attorney and next
friend of Thaw. 1t recites that Thaw
is restrained of his liberty by Sheriff
Robert w. Chanler of Duchess coun-
ty and that he is not detained by vir-
tue Of any mandate issued by a. court
or Judge of the United States, nor by
final judgment or decree of a COM
petent tribunal of civil or criminal
Jurisdiction. The petition attacks the
validity of Thaw's commitment to the
custody of the sheriff of Duchess
county, as we'll as the commitment to
MatteaWan after the second trial, when
the jury rendered a verdict of acquit-
tai on account of insanity. The petit
ton holds that Thaw, after his &C.
quittal, could not be lawfully re-
strained Of his liberty as an insane
person without an inquisition in
lunacy, in which he would be entitled
to have the issue of his sanity deter
mined by jury.
The anticipation by Thaw and his
counsel that Justice Morschauser
would recommit the slayer of Stanford
White to Matteawan proved correct.
District Attorney Mack presented to
the judge the formal order of recon-
mitment to Matteawan, which Justice
Morschauser promptly signed.
1t would have had the effect of re-
turning Thaw to Matteawan at once,
but just before the order was signed
Under Sheriff Townsend, who has
been the custodian of Thaw ever since
the first habeas corpus proceedings
were begun, was served with the new
writ of habeas corpus, which COM
mands the sheriff to produce Thaw in
the supreme court at White Plains.
