NO FREEDOM FOR THAW.
Judge Mills UphOlds Jerome and Says
His Liberty Would be
Menace.

WHITE PLAINS, Aug. 12-Harry
Thaw's latest attempt to gain his lib
erty was defeated today when Justice
Mills dismissed the writ of habeas cor
pus and declared the release of the
petitioner to be dangerous to the
public peace and safety" An order
sending Thaw back to Matteawan will
be signed tomorrow.
There was no crumb of comfort for
Thaw in the 1000 word opinion hand
ed down by Mills. All contentious
of his old adversary, Jerome, are up
held, and it is declared that Thaw is
still insane, still suffering from per-
sistent decisions, still as much para
noiac as on the day he shot White.
Thaw received the news with an out
ward calmness that appeared more
forced than real.
Justice Mills expressed deep sor-
row for the prisoners mother and re-
commended, evidently because of that
sympathy, that Thaw be granted
greater privileges at Matteawan. Mrs.
Thaw in statement tonight declares
that the decision is in no sense a
victory for Jerome, that every prop
was taken from under that arrogant.
vindictive prosecutor of sane ac-
quilted man." She says that when he
arose to make his closing argument
he had more the appearance of a
school boy compelled to say his piece.
than a man.
