REMANOED TO STATE AU-
THORITIES At MATTEAWAN
Court Says Thaw's Discharge
Would Endanger Public
Peace and Safety
(By Associated Press)

White Plains, n \, Aug p
Justice Mills handed down a decision
this morning declaring Harry X.
Thaw insane lie dismissed the writ
of habeas corpus under which Thaw
endeavored to secure his release
from Matteawan and remands him
to the custody Of the state authorities
at that institution.
Justice Mills claimed that lpe in.
sanity with which Thaw WAS aiflict
ed at the time Of murder was para
nola. In reviewing the case Justice
Mills spoke Of the Slight trace OF in
sanity in Thaw's ancestral stock, re-
viewed his childhood and earB man
hood and spoke of his immoral char
acter
"His belief in the wild stories told
by his wife about Stanford White
We're indicative of an unbalanced
mind" said Justice Mills.
Regarding Thaw's suspicion Of a
conspiracy against him by his early
counsel, the court says.
Such belief was utterly without
foundation and was a clear delusion,
and this is plainly the history of a
paranoiac This court concludes that
Thaw's insanity at the time of the
commission of the murder was para.
noia. not brain storm, if any such
variety exists. Thaw has not yet
recovered from his insanity and all
experts agree that In cases of true
paranoia, recovery is very doubtful
Upon my own personal observation
of the conduct of Thaw, his actions
and speech in the court room have
been impressed of his unsoundness
of mind. The enlargement OF ThaW
now would be dangerous to the pub
lie peace and safety, and cannot be
permitted
The prisoner took the decision
coolly. His only statement was a
denial of the assertion in the courts
opinion that he still cherished the
same delnsions that drove him Ia
shoot White.
