Attorney Jerome Of Unnecessarily
Hounding His Client.
White Plains, N Y, June 1S.-Har.
~ X. Thaw will have to wait In the
Matteawan asylum until July for a
hearing to determine whether he is
now sane and In condition to be re.
leased from the asylum. The case
came up before Justice Mills here on
writ Of habeas corpus obtained by
Thaw. Thaw's counsel, Charles Nor.
schauser, wanted to go on with the
hearing. but Mr.. Clark. a representa-.
tive of the attorney general, wanted
to have the case transferred to New
York county. District Attorney Je.
rome of New York asked that the
hearing be postponed in order to give
him an opportunity to attend to other
business. Justice Mills decided that
the hearing would be held In White
Plains.
Mr.. Morschauser asked that Thaw
be kept in the jail Of either West.
chester or Duchess county until the
hearing, but the justice declined.
Calls jerome Antaaonistic.
Mr.. Morschauser declared that Dis.
trict Attorney Jerome was unneces.
sartly bounding Thaw and that the
asylum authorities were unnecessarily
antagonistic. He said that all Thaw's
papers were taken from him and that
his counsel was not permitted to con-
suit with him alone, but only in the
presence Of other inmates.
Thaw's mother, Mrs William Thaw;
his sister, formerly the Countess of
Yarmouth, and his two brothers were
In the courtroom. When the justice
announced his decision to delay the
hearing Harry's mother collapsed.
She shook as though seized with a
chill and her daughter called out for
drink of water, saying that her
mother was choking. The water re-
vived Mrs. Thaw somewhat, but she
was unable to walk without help.
Harry Thaw assisted her to an ante
room and remained there with her for
& short time.
