NNACK, n. Y. Jan. 16-Harry X
Thaw's long fight for freedom from

success to-day when Supreme Court
Justice Tomkins decided that the slay.
er of Stanford White shall have a new
trial as TO his insanity. The tritl is
to take place in New York county,

opening Of the case.
Justice Toml1ins held that the only
questions involved in Thaw's petition
were the validity Of the commitment
and the present mental condition Of
the prisoner The first question the
court held had been already decided
by Justice Mills and Morschauser and
Justice Tomkins would not pass upon
it,
As to the question of Thaw's present
mental condition Justice Tomkins de-
cided thep risoner was entitled to have
IL fairly tried and determined.
Justice Tomlklns refused q trial ty
jury on the ground that Justice Mills
had already decided adversely. on this
point.
The transfer Of the case back 10

because OF Jerome's Familiarity with
the case and for the additional rea
son that the cost Of the trial, which
will be heavy, should, in the opinion
of the Justice. be borne by the county
