|0wAN OFFERS Plan
FOR THAW'S RELEASE
Elk Gov. Boies Would Appeal
Case to Federal Courts-At-
tacks Gov. Sulzer.

New York. Special: Mrs. Mary
C. Thaw, mother of Harry K. Thaw,
was highly elated yesterday over the
receipt Of a letter from ex-Gov. Hor-
ace Boies, of Iowa, now at his winter
home at Helmet, Cal. He suggests a
plan that might get Thaw out of Mat
teawan, which it is believed will be
carefully considered.
Mrs. Thaw gave a copy of the
letter to a reporter for the World. Here
it is:
My Dear Mrs. Thaw-I am today in
receipt Of a copy of the Gazette-Times
OF your city. which gives me a clear
understanding of the game DR.. Russell
played on your son. l do not think
any fair man will blame Harry for any
possible thing within his power to do
to get out of that dreadful place, in
which he is kept in positive violation
OF law. DR.. Russell knew you son
was entitled to his liberty. and knew
also that 1t was his duty to give 1t
70 him, without any compensation
therefor:

Gates all efforts to secure his release.
Il have often wished I could know
where his legal place of residence was
at the time of his arrest. It seems to
me that 1t he were then a resident OF
pennsylvania it might be possible for
MS attorneys In some form to get his
case IN n federal courts. 1 believe
Governor Sulzer would be liable in a
