fIarry X. Thaw's plea for his lib
erty from Matteawan insane asylum
where he was been confined since
lis acquittal for the murder of Stan
ford White, will probably be decided
Iy Judge Morschauser at Poughkoep
sic, N. Y, on Monday, May 20. The
hearing in the habeas corpus proceed.
ines brought by counsel for Thaw end
ed late Saturday night after District
Attorney w. T. Jerome of New York
had made the sensational request that
Thaw, whom he had called to the
stand, permit his alienists to examine
Thaw and judge of his mental condi'
ton, as heretofore they had had no op'
portunity to converse with the defend
ant.
Thaw was not permitted to respond,
the court itself telling him not to do
so. The Judge, however, suggested
that Thaw confer with his counsel and
that perhaps they might decide that it
would be wise to grant the request.
Thaw, his lawyers, Messrs. Graham
and Peabody, and Drs. Pilgrim, Evans
and Jelliffe, who had testified that
Thaw was sane, went into the judges
private room and after a conference
lasting little over an hour came
back into the courtroom and said
that Thaw would submit to personal
examination. but not by the alienists
who had appeared for Mr.. Jerome.
The alienists who should make this
examination, it was stated, should be
selected from some who had never
appeared in the case. Another condi-
ton was that the examination should
be restricted to personal study of
the relator and should not be founded
on testimony of previous trials.
District Attorney Jerome instantly
rejected these terms, saying he would
deserve to be committed to an asylum
himself If he should accept them.
There the question ended.
Thaw was on the stand but short
time before Jerome sprung his sur
prise, and answered the few questions
put to him generally without much
hesitation.
Both sides have agreed to offer no
arguments in the case, but each will
present briefs on the constitutional
question raised by Thaws counsel that
Thaw's commitment to Matteawan
was unconstitutional. These briefs
will be handed in early this week
Thaw will remain in the Dutchess
county courthouse until the decision is
rendered.
