Secures New Writ of Habeas
Corpus.

Poughkeepsie. N. Y, June 27.-Harry
Thaw has obtained a new writ of
habeas corpus returnable before Su
preme Justice Mills of White Plains,

signing an order at IL o'clock this
morning, recommitting Thaw to Mat
teawan.
The anticipation by Thaw and his
counsel that Justice Morschauer
would recommit the slayer of Stan
ford White to Matteawan proved cor
rect Attorney Mack presented to the
Judge this forenoon the formal order
of recommitment to Matteawan which
Justice Morschauser promptly signed.
1t would have the effect of returning
Thaw to Matteawan today, 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 be-
gun, was served with the new writ of
habeas corpus which commands the
sheriff to produce Thaw in the SUI
preme court at White Plains on Mon
day morning. Charles Morschauser
OF Poughkeepsie, now that his broth
er. Justice Morschauser, has finally
disposed of the case, has been re-
tained by Thaw to conduct the new
proceedings.
The writ was obtained from Judge
Mills last evening at Troy. where the
Judge was stopping over night on his
way home from a trip to Massa-
chusetts.

"WATCH while YOU PRAY"

Many years ago a mildly insane woman
roamed the streets of a little New Eng
land village. The housewives all turned
10 their pantries when they saw her en-
tering the house.
Crazy Sue as she was called, always
wore an immense apron and whenever
she was offered anything would gather up
her apron to receive the donation. If it
happened to be bowl OF bread and milk
she did the same.
One morning she entered the village
schoolhouse after the session had opened.
The lunch pals and baskets We're always
placed on shelf near the door. Taking
a position near them. she surveyed the
scholars twho. not at all acknowledging

heads toward her, and smiled) moment
and then said abruptly: Let all heads
right about face and bow: all eyes shut
while We pray: the teacher will knecl.''
1t seemed simple request and was
obcycd. 1t is not always safe to cross
even an apparently harmless lunatic.
Crazy Sue mumbled a senseless jar

pals. and the children knew. though

that their puffy brown doughnuts. delic-

long jumps brought him to the coveted

Tom continued. William gave a start
'.Fraid," sneered one boy.
Mo-" snapped William, and the quick
tears came to his eyes.
Well a good many boys said that you
wouldn't do it, Tom continued, but we
big fellows knew you would; what do you
say?"
Oh. how the good and bad were waging
in Williams breast; but he jumped on the
wrong side.
I'D just as soon do it as not" he sput-
tered "a little thing like that is nothing.'
Nothing. Why, the poor boy felt
sneak. and it wasn't easy for William to
be a sneak: really. it was hard.
Just then little Charity came in sight.
She was alone. and under her old-fash-
ioned bonnet her sweet pink and white
face looked like a May blossom SO shy
and so fair.
William gave himself no time to think.
Despising himself. he rushed forward,
caught Charity in his sturdy young arms
and gave her a resounding kiss.
Poor Charity started back and her violet
eyes were full of terrified reproach. The
mark of the cruel kiss was on the round
soft cheek.
Il thought she quivered, Il thought
you were a nice boy. William Thompson,
but you are
"A beast" William ended the sentence
for her.
We'll maybe not a beast" half sob
bed the gentle little thing. but a-but
an ANIMAL
Just then from behind the school came
all the other girls in a body. They looked
big and imposing and they bore down on
William and Charity like a cloud OF
locusts.
"Oh: oh.-' jeered Mary Foster. .he likes
Kisses he likes kisses. Give him all he
wants. girs!'' And then. 10 the horror
and misery of William Thompson: those
laughing girls. one at time, fell upon
him and kissed him until the air seemed
to be full of the hateful sound. The boys
laughed and the poor jumping cat wlsned
that he had jumped on the manly sioe
and shielded dear little Charity apd had
kept himself free from this dreadful pun
ishment.
Just then Charity did noble thing.
With blue eyes blazing and all her shy
ness gone. she sprang to the side OF the
jumping cat
You let him aloner' cried the little
fury. You let him alone! You think
you are mighty smart, but We've nave
got the joke on you all. II wanted him

The laugh ceased Among all those
rough teasing boys and girls a feeling
of shame, then one of admiration came.
"Hurrah for Charity cried the boys.
"Hurran for William-' echoed the girls.
ard then a big hurrah went up for both.

him back. Perhaps he was too proud.
perhaps he saw how different he was
from the other boys. and longed to be
morn like them But back TO school
struggled in a far manlier way than any
one gave him credit for doing. Then
began his mistaken course. So anxious
was he to win the boys and girls that
he tried TO be always on the winning
side. If five boys thought the teacher
was a "cross old thing" and three thought
her nice, William thought her cross. Ten
minutes later If the majority was on the
other side there you found William. OF
course those teasing boys and girls were
only too quick to grasp the situation and
they kept William busy. The queer part of
it was that he. silly little chap. did not
notice it at all and went on his foolish
way until that day when his eyes were
opened and he turned about and became
quite a different boy.
Now in the school was a very timid lit
tie girl named Charity Walters. Every
one loved her. and every one, in way.
took care of her. because she was not in
the least able to take care of herself.
William had kind of fellow feeling for
Charity. but he dared not show 1t. He
was timid and she was timid. and two
timid people always frighten each other
dreadfully. All the school knew exactly
how matters stood-all but Charity and
William; and while what was done was
not Just the nobleSt thing that might
have been done, IL was funny and brought
forth better fruits than one would have
supposed.
Big Tom Lawrence started the thing.
He and five other boys were standing by
the school door before lesson time. when
along came William Thompson with his
large, shiny tin pail full of dinner. and
his clOrf-covered books under his arm.
Here comes the jumping cat,' laughed
Tom Lets see him jump. Hi. there,
Billy Big Eater. We have something to
say to you"
trembling in every limb. William came
II don't suppose you know what hap
pened after school yesterday, do you?"
asked Tom.
No said William. "I-I-went home
To-
MY ma-ma.' mimicked all the boys
William turned scarlet.
WELL Tom went on. some of the
boys got together and taxed over plan
to trick that sinnpering Charity Walters
1t is going to be great fun. We planned
to pick out some boy who was brave
enough to lay in wait for her as she came
to school--and kiss her. AL the blood in
Williams body began TO run hot
"Horrid mean said the good part of
William
Better be on the side of the big boys,"
said the mean William.
And we all decided you were the boy."
