JUDGE SAYS THAW
IS STILL INSANE
DECLARES HIS RELEASE FROM
ASYLUM WOULD BE DANGER
Gus TO PUBLIC SAFETY.
PRISONER NOT DISHEARTENED
No crumb of Comfort for Thaw In the
Opinion Handed Down by JUS
tice Mllls-Jerome's Con-
tentions Supported.

White Plains, N. Y.-Harry X.
thaw's latest attempt to gain his
liberty met with complete and dis
heartening defeat when Supreme
Court Justice Isaac N. Mills dismissed
the writ of habeas corpus and de-
clared that "the release of the petit
toner would be dangerous to the pub
lie peace and safety" The signing of
an order sending Thaw back to Mat
teawan is all that remains to COM
plete the failure of this latest appeal
to the courts.
There is no crumb of comfort for
Thaw in the 1000 word opinion hand
ed down by Justice Mills. All the
contentious of his old adversary, Dis
trict Attorney Jerome, are supported,
and it is declared that Thaw is still
insane, still suffering from persistent
delusions, and still as much para
noiac as on the day he shot White.

THE WEEKLY TRADE BULLETIN
Reports from important Cities in All
the Leading Trades Are
Most Encouraging.

New York City.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
All branches of business affected by
the new tariff law are rapidly adjust
ing themselves to the amended sched-
ules, and the ending of the period of
uncertainty as to the rates of duty
to be imposed has already had the eff
feet of stimulating trade. Reports
from all the important cities in all the
leading trades are most encouraging.
In the iron and steel trade each
week serves to bring an increased
volume of business to the mills, and
labor is in greater demand Advices
from the principal industrial centers
indicate that working forces are be-
ing enlarged whenever possible.

TN AGONY WITH ECZEMA.
Whole Body Mass Of Raw, Bleeding,

head to foot. looked more like
piece of raw beef than a human be-
ing. The pain and agony endured
seemed more than could bear. Blood
and pus oozed from the great sore on
my scalp, from under my finger nails
and nearly all over my body. N.Y.
ears were so crusted and swollen

Every hair in my head fell out.
could not sit down, for my clothes
would stick to the raw and bleeding
flesh, making me cry out from the
pain. My family doctor did all he
could, but ! got worse and worse. MY
condition was awful. I did not think
could live, and wanted death to
come and end my frightful sufferings.
"In this condition my motherin-law
begged me to try the Cuticura REM
edies. said 1 would. but had no hope
of recovery. But oh, what blessed re-
lief experienced after applying Cuti-
cura Ointment. 1t cooled the bleeding
and itching flesh and brought me the
first real sleep 1 had had in weeks. It
was as grateful as ice to burning
tongue. l would bathe with warm
water and Cuticura Soap. then apply
the Ointment freely. also took Cuti-
cura Resolvent for the blood. In q
short time the sores stopped running,
the flesh began to heal, and knew I
was to get well again. Then the hair
on my head began to grow, and in a
short time I was completely cured.

eczema to use Cuticura. Mrs. VIM.

Thaw, in the White Plains Jail, at
the rear of the court house, where
the decision was filed, received the
news with an outward calmness which
appeared, however, more forced than
real. The members of his family and
his attorney seemed stunned by the
thoroughness of their defeat. Thaw
declined to give out any extended
statement, contenting himself with
the assertion that he was not disheart-
ened and would at once continue his
fight for liberty. my next effort" he
said, will be centered upon the court
of appeals, through which l expect
to secure a hearing before a jury in
my effort to have my commitment
to Matteawan set aside"
Justice Mills in his opinion reaches
three formal conclusions: "That Thaw
was insane when he killed White;
that he has not yet recovered; and
that public peace and safety would be
endangered by setting him at large"
He upholds District Attorney Jerome's
contentious that Thaw still cherishes
delusions regarding the practices of
Stanford White and his associates.
He characterizes Evelyn Thaw's tale
of the Madison Square tower room,
and similar stories about White told
to the sanity hearing, as wild and
grossly improbable, evidently to any
normal mind grossly exaggerated"
He asserts his belief in the testi-
mony of Susan Merrill regarding
Thaw's alleged pervert practices, and
points out the contrast between
Thaw's chivalrous attitude as pro-
tector of young American womanhood
and his private life.

gas-bag variety has made five hour
journey at an average speed of 81
miles an hour. Her success, following
closely upon the heels of Count Yep

that inventive genius is grasping ev-

piecing them into what will eventually
be an aerial flyer that can be relied
upon except during very high winds.
