JERSEY CITY, Feb. 24.-Mayor II.
Otto Wittpenn was in his office in the
City Hall when he was informed of
the decision in the ripper act'a case.
He took it as a matter of course, and
declared that he had never had at any
time a doubt as to what the decision
would be.
Naturally, 1 am glad that 1 will not
be hampered in my policies by hostile
boards and city officials" stated Mayor
Wittpenn. Il feel no e~xultation, be-

Corporation Attorney James j. Muir
ply said that the decision placed
former Corporation Counsel George L.
Record in an embarrassing position,
as he did not resign on January /, as
the other members of the law depart
ment did. Mr.. Record is ousted. and
the position held by Warren Dixon is
assured.
The decision will have no sweeping
effect in Jersey City, because Mayor
Wittpenn accepted the act as good law
and has proceeded as if it had not been
contested.

MATTEAWAN, Feb. 24.-Harry KEN
dan Thaw, slayer of Stanford White, Is
doomed to die in an asylum, accord
ing TO the report of DR.. Ferris, presi-
dent of the State Commission In
Ltnacy. which has just been COM
pleted. After an exhaustive examina-
ton of Thaw be finds thai he is suf-
fering from acute paranoia and that
his case is hopeless.
Mrs. William Thaw, mother of the
slayer, has already been informed ,f
the fate that awaits her son. and has
become ~reconciled. Within a reason
able time application will be made by
Thaw's attorneys for his remova from
Matteawan. He viii then be taken to
a private sanatorium for the insane,
with special attendants. His mother
has already announced her intention of
always living near where he may be
detained.
With the fact that Thaw's case is
hopeless, 1t is now entirely probable
that 10 objection will be made by
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw for an annulment
of her marriage.
