Justice Mills Rendered De-
cision This Morning--Re-
fuses to Free Him.
MOTHER MUCH AFFECTED
BY FAILURE OF CASE
Thaw Now Plans Another
Move to Gain Freedom
Insists He Is Sane.

White Plains, N. Y, Aug. 12:-
Justice Mills decision was filed at 8
o'clock this morning recommitting
Harry X. Thaw to the Matteawan
asylum. The justice gives the fol-
lowing reasons:
First, Thaw's insanity from which
he was suffering when he killed
Stanford White was known as
chronic delusive insanity otherwise
paranoia.
Second, Thaw has not recovered
his insanity.
Supporting his first conclusion
Justice Mills quotes the testimony
regarding Thaw's ancestry, and his
boyhood. Regarding Thaw's man
r'hood he says: Although Thaw
himself is evidently far from moral
and engaged In pervertive practices as
revealed by the Merrill woman's tes-
timony, he gave absolute precedence
to tales regarding White"
The decision declares that Thaw's
beliefs about Whites practices were
plainly delusions. He also char
acterizes Thaw's belief that attor-
neys were trying to railroad him
to Matteawan" was delusion, prov
ing beyond doubt that paranoia
existed. The second conclusion was
based on alienists' testimony that
paranoia is incurable.
Thaw received the Mills decision
in the White Plains jail sullenly
The news seemed to stun him and he
asked to be left alone refusing tC
talk. He Immediately summoned
Attorney Morchauser.
Thaw's mother and sister the ex-
Countess of Yarmouth, received the
news In the little hotel near the jail
The mother retired to her room
denying herself to callers. The fam
lily will visit the jail once more be
fore Thaw goes back to Matteawan
Justice Mills will hear motions or
the decision at Mount Vernon to.
morrow.
The Thaw family is SO shocked by
the decision that they are unable te
tell now what steps will be taken tc
prevent further Incarceration.

Ppecidl bv United Press Ws-e.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Aug. r.
Charles Morschauser, Thaw's coun-
sci was not surprised over Justice
Mills decision. "Candidly, rather
anticipated the decision" said the
attorney. "Thaw's conduct on the
stand did not help his case. Justice
Mills paid much attention to Thaw
during the hearing. l haven't seen
his full decision, but II the court
