law is imperfect, but says 1t does not
present Inconsistencies sufficient. to

White Plains, N. Y.-Harry X.
Thaw's latest attempt to gain his lib

Justice Isaac N. Mills dismissed the
writ of habeas corpus and declared
the release of the petitioner would be
dangerous to public peace and
safety" An order sending Thaw back
to Matteawan was signed Friday.
There is no crumb of comfort for
Thaw in the seven-thousand-wor
opinion handed down by Justice Mills.
All the contentious of his old adver.
sary, District Attorney Jerome, are
supported, and it is declared that
Thaw is still insane, still suffering
from persistent delusions and still as
much a paranoiac as on the day he
shot Stanford White.
Thaw, waiting in the White Plains
Jail, received the news with an out
ward calmness which appeared more
forced than real.
The members of his family and his
attorney seemed stunned by the thor
oughness of their defeat.
Thaw declined to give out any state

by Widow.

San Francisco.-William M. Melton,
six years dead, was sued for divorce
by his wife through a mistake that
has no parallel in the history of the
superior court of this state. The mis-
take was discovered on Thursday by
the plaintiff, when she appeared to
take a judgment by default.
Some months ago Mrs. Clymena Rol-
leri went to her attorney and charged
her husband with idleness and neglect.
Inadvertently she referred to herself
rs Mrs William M. Melton, and the
defendant was so named in the COM
plant subsequently filed. But Mr..
Melton. the woman's first husband,
was dead, and in reciting her wrongs
and charges, she had in mind Viii
liam L. Rolleri, her second husband.
The complaint showed the date of the
second marriage in conjunction with
the name of her first husband
Mrs Rolleri Is now obliged to file
new complaint and await the usual
term for a default judgment
