Wins First Stage in His
 Long Fight for Free :. dom from Matteawan
Case Will Be Heard
 In New York County
Justice Tompkins Gave Out
 Decision Today-Validity
 of Commitment, ,and Right of Jury Trial Not Ruled Upon as Other Justices
 Have Decided Those
 Points.
Special from United Press.)


 Nyack, Jan. 16-Harry K. Thaw's long fight for freedom from Mattea"ah reached its first stage of success to- day when Supreme Court Justlce To1nplxins declared that the slayer or Stanford White shall have new trial as to his sanity. The trial is to take place in New York County where the shooting occurred. No date was set py Justice Tompkins for the opening or the case.
 I Justice Tonpkins held that the many questions involved in Thaw's petition included the validity of the commit nnentand his sanity. The hrst ques- ton, said the court. had already peen answered by Mills and Morschauser. Justice TOmpklnS would not pass up on it..
 As to the question of Thaw's present
 mental condition Justice Tompklns oe- clared the defendant was entitled 10 hare it thoroughly threshed out. us tice Tonpkins refused trial by Jury on the ground that Justice Milis Hau already decided adversely on this point. The transfer of the case back to New York County was argued for by DIS trict Attorney Jerome owing to ms familiarity with the case.
 Poughkeepsie, Jan. 16.-Harry ThaW was elated when told or JuSt1ce IOIHp- lsins' decision to grant him a trial 10 det ermine his mental condition. am satisfied that the court will find l am perfectly sane and that my long inn prisonment is ended.' he said. Thaw was pleased with the Hains verdict. 1tIt is just what I expected" he said tI have followed the case closely and it was the only verdict possible sfNo,'' he continued in response to a query, II prefer not to make any state- ment by way of comparison between that case and mine. I am trying 10 forget some things and besides l don't want to say anything that will add to my already long list of troubles" It was through the efforts of Mrs. William Thaw. mother of the prisoner that the new trial has been secured. Mrs. Thaw recently received from Jus tice Tompkins writ of habeas corpus rom which the. proceedings for a new trial were begun.
 New York Jan. 16.-District Attorney Jerome said .lis afternoon that he had received copy of Justice Tompkins' decision in tue case of Harry K. ThaW by mail but he declined, to, give any opinion on the decision. He said he would explain matters later. Justice Dayis can hear the case or he can ap- point a special judge or name a referee. Still again a jury trial can be had. but the verdict of jary would not be binding on the judge or referee, under Justice Tompkins' decision.
