WHITE PLAINS, N Y, Aug. 10
Reasserting his sanity, Harry X. ThaW
today published a statement reviewing
the evidence given in the recent near
ing on his application for release from
Matteawan. In his argument to SuS-
tain his contention that he is sane
Thaw said that, according to the alien
lists, District Attorney jerome mas
proved him to be sane 'forty-tlYe times
over in his long questioning. Thaw
statement follows:
THE following is all | have to say
about the trial: Mr.. Jerome's witnesses
were an unprofessional lawyer ana an
unfortunate woman who contradicted
each other. also three OF his peculiar
alienists, and Or. Baker, who from
mis- testimony might have been on either
side, except that he showed some
friendliness to us and could not re-
member many admissions he had mace
to me and to DIR. Pilgrom.
"Dr. Baker admitted he did not be
lieve i'm souls because he never had
seen any Dr. Mcdonald and DIR. Flint
refused 10 believe what jerome hdh
solemnly stated to a jury, so / hardly
think any judge Gould believe any of
them.
"rno best experts have informed me
that If any insanc man was questioned
for twenty minutes as Jerome ques-
toned me he assuredly would show MS
insanity. AS Jerome kept this up over
fifteen bours i'm all during the trial ne
proved me sane fortyfve times over
Mr. Jerome at the end of the second
trial, after telling the jury why he had
not produced DR.. Flint and company,
said he would submit the case to hu-
man intelligence.

These and many clergymen, headed
by President Patton of Princeton, and

me all my life, and bankers and manu-
facturers and police and prison keep
ers accustomed to observing both sane
and insane men; also city clerks. edi-
tors, farmers, lawyers and che former

HIS POSITION
SAYS HE HAS NO DESIRE TO
FORCE HIS PALAFOx AND
CITY, AND SUGGESTS MEETING
OF CITIZENS.

Wilmington, Del, June %. 1879.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
I have just read your editorial OF
June goth, in answer to my letter to
you of June 18th, which was printed
in your issue of June goth.
/ am sorry that you have taken the
position that IL is natural for me to
desire to see my plans for the street
improvement carried into effect, and
that my employment by the city il as
much for the purpose of carrying into
effect the desires of the citizens them
selves, as Tor the adoption OF any
particular D ans which simply Mr..
Hatton may favor. I wish to make it
very strong to you that l have no de-
sire to force my ideas upon the citi-
Zens of Pensacola. / was requested
by the city authorities to prepare
plans for the improvement Of the
streets. I did this with much care
and to the best Of my judgment.
Having done this, my responsibility
ends, but / am not welded to my
plans, and am perfectly willing, and
in fact, anxious to carry on such i'm
PrOvements as come under my direc-
zion to the satisfaction of the ma
iority of your citizens, and if my
plans, as presented, do not meet with
the ideas Of such a majority, l will
he very glad indeed to do all that l
can to change these plans to meet
their ideas
do not think that l know all about
this question. In fact, the longer l
practice engineering, the more I find
out that other people know more than
I. and thus l become more susceptible
to suggested changes in any plans
that l may make.
hn oh N 20
have been in the possession Of the
city for two years and 1t is most IN
fortunate, ] think, that during these
two years these changes could not
have been discussed and made to con-
form with the majority prior to the
time when contracts for the improve
ment were let.
It may not yet be too late, how
ever, to make the necessary changes
and If it is not, I will be glad indeed
to meet any of the views of your citi-
zens which may be possible to meet.
My letter Of June 18th is not de-
Tense of my original plans. but is sim
ply statement setting forth the rea-
s44BF}Sfs rI aafS6,uIL- 1T may be perhaps the
better way to get at final conclu-
sion in this matter, to. have a meet
ing Of the citizens, particularly in
terested in the matter of these streets
during the time that l will be in Pen
sacola next month and go over the
question carefully and consider it
from all viewpoints, and then, il the
changes desired can be made without
interfering with our present contract,
would be very glad indeed to make
them
Very truly yours
