Thaw, His Mother and His Sister
All in a Collapsed Condition
on Hearing News.

Harry K. Thaw was Thursday ad-
judged insane by Justice NILS III d
decision handed down in the Supreme
Court at White Plains, N. Y, and Or
dered to be sem back to the Mattea-
wan State Asylum for the Criminal
Insane Immediately.
The order of Justice Mills was turn
ed over to the Westchester County au-
thorities by the Clerk of the Supreme
Court and Thaw himself, in the Jail at
White Plains, was informed OF the de-
cision. Arrangements were made to
take him back to Matteawan Friday.
Decides Thaw Is Insane.
Justice Mills decision was the
strongest against Thaw that has been
handed down by any Judge since the
two trials Of the prisoner. His decls'
ion can be summed up as follows:
That the insanity that Harry *.
Thaw was afflicted with in June, 1906.

That Harry X. Thaw has not recoV.

That in paranoia recovery is very
doubtful.
That the release of Harry K. Thaw
now would be a danger to the public
peace and safety.
Justice Mills in. his decision finds
that Thaw is now insane and unable
to properly care for himself. The de
cision contained 5000 words and thor
oughly covered the insanity hearing
that had been held before Justice Mills
Thaw awaited the decision in his
cell in the Jail at White Plains. He

down almost unnerved. Arrangements
had been made to let him know the
decision as soon as it was made public
by the clerk of the court. When he
learned his fate, Thaw stopped in his
ervou walk up and down the cell
and stood still. He did not seem to
comprehend what had been told him.
Then, when he realized hat he must
go back to Matteawan, he staggered
backward and fell upon the cell cot.
He covered his face with his hands
and for a time could not be aroused.
Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, the prison
ers mother, and his sister, the former
Countess of Yarmouth, were almost
overcome at the news. Alice Thaw
tried to comfort her mother, but the
aged woman, who has battled so long
and so untiringly for her son, showed
plainly hat the decision was a terrible
blow to her and she is near a collapse,

NEW RAILROAD EXTENSIONS.
Three Lines Are Almost Certain to
Build in the State.

The settlement on the Cheyenne riv-
er reservation next spring will mean
thousands Of new homes established
on the Dakota prairies, with a heavy
increase in population to the country
west of the Missouri. The new set
tiers will not have long to wait on
any part of the tract for rail faclll-
ties close at hand, and some of them
will find the road there ahead OF them.
It is practically certain that the Mil
waukee road will have a part OF It's
line built before the date of beginning
settlement, and the Minneapolis and
st. Louis and Northwestern systems
will have lines into the territory at an
early date. The lands opened to set

BLOODY BLACK HILLS CRIME.
Jealous Negro Hacks His Young wire

Jealousy caused Frank lewis, a
young negro, to hack his young wife to
pieces in their cabin at Deadwood and
then deliberately saw his own head
nearly off. Both bodies were discov-

There were no witnesses to the muir
der and suicide, but apparently Lewis
became enraged during a quarrel and
used a meat ak on his wife's head,
battering her features out of all pos
sible recognition in his jealous frenzy.
Then taking a fluted meat saw he rip
ned omen his own throat in a horrible
fashion.
Lewis, who was a cook. and aged
about 80, came from Sheridan, Wyo.
He commenced to live with the girl
and few knew they were married.
