Whether Justice Keogh accepts or refuses
the demand of Harry X. Thaw for a Jury
trial on the question of his release from
Matteawan, the hearing set for June G
promises to run along for several weeks,
and is likely to prove almost as expensive
as either n of the trials notwithstand
ing the fact that only seven medical au-
thorities In all will be examined.
DR.. Amos u. Baker, former acting super
%intendent Of the Matteawan asylum, is
in Paris. A commission will probably be
sent to take his testimony. DR.. Bingham,
another important witness In tracing
Thaw's antecedents and family traits. Is
in Pittsburgh. This will necessitate an.
other commission to take his testimony.
II is said.
In his argument before Justice Keogh,
former District Attorney Jerome said that
the insanity proceedings alone In the
Tbaw case had thus Tar cost the State
OF New York more than $4,000. Mr..

1t is not often one is called upon to
choose between two home men of such

important position. Again The Monitor
will ask: Ii Orleans county happens to
have two men for this place, whose
ability and adaptability for the posi-
ton are recognized as above par, why
not send them both? But for the honor
of delegate at large" The Monitor be-
licves Lewis should have preference not
only because Mr.. Lewis was first men
toned and is the elder of the two, but
because Mr. Prouty has already been
highly honored by the state.
As to the last sentence of The Times
as quoted above, is The Times quite
