THAW IS RE TURNED
TO MAT TEAWAN CELL
Testimony in Alleged Case Of
Attempted Bribery Seemed
That of Sane Man.

Thaw's confidential agent. were the
chief witnesses to he called.
Following his testimony given yes
terday, Thaw was Immediately re-
turned to Matteawan. but may be re-
called later. There was little doubt
but Thaw's story of the attempts to
cause his release after his imprison-
ment for the murder OF Stanford
White. had greatly aided the prosecu-
ton in Its case.
Thaw's appearance meant almost
as much to him as did the story told
by his wife from the same witness

Of his answers, showed no signs of
excitement. and generally gave the
impression that he was endeavoring
his utmost to leave behind him a
feeling that he was a perfectly sane
and normal man.
His attitude in court was not that
of a man who had studied out every
move. but his answers were carefully
worded. He appeared to weigh at
least thirty pounds more than when
he was when committed to the asylum
and looked to be in the best OF health.
