tive and handed over the revolver
without resistance.
Thaw was then arrested by police
man and while the officers hand was
on his shoulder Mrs. Thaw rushed up
to her husband and placed her arms
around his neck. Thaw assured her
that it would be "all right" and not to
worry.
To this Mrs. Thaw rejoined: Il
didn't think you would do 1t that way"
and she added: Never mind. Harry.
I'll stick to you through thick and
thin"

Sunday is the present situation In the
fight for the governorship Of New
York state. Both Governor Sulzer and
Lieutenant Governor Glynn. az acting
governor, signed official papers dur
ing Saturday. Apart from this. the
only skirmish was the issuing by Gov
ernor Sulxer Of reply to Mr.. Glynn's
deolination Of the suggestion their diff
eerences be taken at once to court.
Governor Sulzer deplores this declina-
tion. pointing out that 1t probably will

was ito avoid the spectacle Of two
persons claiming to act as governor
OF this great state at the same time"

Five confederates manned the car in
which Thaw escaped and big black
limousine which trailed it past the
asylum gate. The police have their
license numbers and the names under
which they registered at local hotel
Friday night and are seeking them.
The local authorities believe Thaw
has fled to the shore OF Long Island
sound and boarded yacht, waiting
with steam up to rush him to Europe.
A reward of $500 for Thaw's appre-
hension has been offered by DIR. R. F.
C. Kieb, superintendent of the asylum.
Howard H. Barnum, the attendant at
the gate past whom Thaw flashed In
his break for freedom, is under arrest,
and other arrests are expected to fol-

by DR.. Kieb.

The shades were drawn in the dor
