Believes Thaw Still Insane.

In his decision Justice Morschauser
says, in part:
'Thaw, at the time of his trial for
homicide, as a defense pleaded insan-
ity and presented proof to show his In.
sanity at the time of the killing of
White and by the proof offered on his
behalf the jury was convinced that he
was insane and acquitted him upon
that ground.
II am satisfied from the evidence
adduced before me that the mental
condition of Harry X. Thaw has not
changed and l find that he is now in
sane and that it is so manifest as to
make it unsafe for him to be at large.
"In view of the existing mental con-
dition of said Thaw the safety of the
public is better insured by his remain
ing in custody and under observation
until he has recovered or until such
time as it shall be reas onably certain
that there is no danger of recurring
attack of the delusion or whatever it
may be-"

THAW STILL insane
viii Not Be Released From ASy.
Ium at Present.
COURT RENDERS DECISION
Finds No Change, in Mental condi-
ton Since Acquitted of Murder
on Ground Of Insanity.

Poughkeepsie, N Y, May 90
Harry X. Thaw, the slayer of Stan
ford White, will not be released from
the lunatic asylum. This is the de-
cision reached by Justice Morschauser
of the supreme court in an opinion
filed in the matter of Thaw's applica-
ton for release on q writ of habeas
corpus.
Both points brought up by Thaw's
attorneys are decided against him.
The justice declares that Thaw is now
insane and should not be allowed at
large and he further declares that the
commitment to the lunatic asylum by
Justice Bowling after the last trial of
the case was entirely legal.
Thaw's lawyers have applied to the
court for permission to place Thaw in
some other institution than the Mat
teawan asylum and by stipulation
with the district attorney the prisoner
will be kept in the Jail here until JUS
tice Morschauser renders a decision.
The justice is holding court at White
Plains this week and will not be able
to hear the application before next
week

Another one OF the Washington High

years captained both the baseball and

There are several reasons for 1.-THE

the man who had intended TO buy a
high-priced car change his mind and put
his money into lower-priced csr-not
so much because he did not have the
money as because he felt unwilling 20
