Third Attempt of Slayer of
Stanford White to Go Free
Proves FruitIeSS.
APPLICATION FOR HABEAS
CORPUS WRIT is DENIED
Judge Rules That Public Would
Be Endangered by Prisoner
Being at Large.

WHITE PLAINS, n. Y, July 26.-
Justice Keogh this afternoon handed
down a decision denying 20 Harry K.
Thaw his release from Matteawan on
writ of habeas corpus.
The decision of Justice Keogh deny
ing liberty to ThaW in his third effort
to escape from the madhouse was brief.
1t held that the applicant had not
proved his sanity and ordered his re-
turn to the Matteawan asylum for the
insane, from which he was taken when
the writ of habeas corpus was sworn
out
The court directed Sheriff William ].
Doyle to deliver Thaw to the authorities
at Matteawan Immediately.
The decision was on the application
of Thaw's mother Mrs. Mary Copley
Thaw, for an order releasing her son.
Justice Keogh said:
My whole duty is fully performed
when ! decide the single question pre-
sented for decision, merely, is Harry
K. Thaw at present sane or insane, and
would his release be dangerous to the
public peace and safety? Having lis
tened to all the testimony and serious
Iy considered it, I am of the opinion
that Thaw is still insane and that
his discharge would be dangerous to
the public peace and safety.
THE writ, therefore, must be dis
missed on the merits and Harry K.
Thaw be returned to the authorities at
MatteaWan."
The application for the writ of
habeas corpus set forth that Thaw
had never been personally examined by
the experts upon whose testimony he
was committed to the asylum and that
he was now of sound mind. The con-
tention of his counsel was that he was
suffering from insane decisions when
he killed White. but that the insanity
was temporary only.
Mrs Thaw, the prisoners mother
who has been stopping at the Hotel
Carlton Arms since the hearing in
Thaw's mental condition began here
June II, was much disappointed at the
outcome and. while she refuses to be
interviewed, it is know that she feels a
great Injustice has been done her and
her son, in whom she has never lost
faith.

Eugene Grace will be here Monday

said Lamar Hill, Of Grace's counsel, to-

Nothing can be given out with GER

is probable that he will have no relapse

The Georgian published an interview
with Eugene Grace a few weeks ago in
which the wounded man said he would
come to his wife's trial if he had to be
brought on his cot, but since that time
it was announced that he was not gain

Bousherty said, to give a clear account
Of her movements on the night Rosen-
thai was murdered. She attempted to
establish an alibi for "Dago Frank" by
stating that she saw him about the
time Essential was murdered, but the
accused man denied this and insisted
that he was out of town.
Deputy Police Commissioner Dough-

out statement. in which they said:

Abe Steinberg Told
Of Seeing Woman.

1t will be remembered that Abe Stein
berg, a travelling man. signed an affl-
davit before a Florida justice in which
he said he was passing the Grace home
on the day of the tragedy and saw
woman on the veranda whom he took
to be Mrs. Grace. Afterward he drove
past the Piedmont hotel and again saw
a woman so closely resembling Mrs.
Grace that he bowed to her before he
realized his mistake. He was confident
that the woman he saw at the home
was not Mrs. Grace, but the same per-
son he afterward saw at the hotel.

Grace Can Only
Be a Spectator.

Just what part Grace will play in
the trial is not clear Lawyers in
sst that his evidence can not be placed
before the jury under the law which
/ forbids a husband to testify against his
wife, and it appears that Grace can
only be spectator. Of course, sight of
the wounded man, swathed in ban
dages and paralyzed below the waist,
might have it's effect on the jury.

Of Atlanta will be drawn the jury az

decide next week whether Mrs. Grace is
guilty of shooting her husband, with in

the twelve are to be drawn has been

the trial, would not state today wheth-
err the public would be excluded from

it will have to be admitted that the
Sedalia Telegraph School is a good
place to prepare for a position, for
those who are not employed or who

a stepping-stone to the highest posi-

contested hotly and there had been
many arguments with the umpire.
In the seventh inning White was
standing behind the catcher In
those days masks were not used by
the umpire. The Paris pitcher let
loose a wild pitch which struck
White on the nose. 1t did consid-

had to be carried off the field.
