RUSSELL OFFERED
$4,000 FOR THE
RELEASE OF THAW
Superintendent of Asylum
Gives Sensational Evi-
dence Before Com
mittee of Inquiry

Albany, \, y. February s1.-Dr. John
| w Russell, superintendent of the Mat
teawan state hospital for the criminal
insane, testified today before Governor
had been offered $4,000 if he would
release Harry X. Thaw. The ofter, ne
said, was made during the latter part
of 1912 by a lawyer whose name he
could not remember in an uptown
hotel,o in New York city and was re-
fused.
This testimony was developed during
an Investigation of reports that Will
liam r. Clark. secretary of the commit
tee, recently had requested DR.. Russell
to release Thaw on the ground that
such an action was desired by Gov
ernor Sulzer. The governor himself
had stated previously that he had au-
thorized no one to make such a re-
quest
DR.. James V. May, chairman of the
state hospital commission, another wit
ness, told of having been approached
by Clark several days ago with the
same request. Dr. May said he told
IGovernor Sulzer of the incident and the
governor said he would not interfere
in the Thaw case and had not author
lied anybody to say he would
Clark, when sworn today, denied
having told either Dr. Russell or Dr.
released. He said, however, he had Wis
tied DIR. Russell while investigating a
report that the latter had received
$685. 900 to free Thaw.
While Dr. Russelrs memory was hazy
concerning the identity of the lawyer
who offered him the bribe he denied any
reason for wishing to conceal the mans
name and thought he could furnish it
later.
The witness also told of a conversa
ton he had with Mr.. Hoffman Of
Pughkeepsie. Mr. Thaw's private de-
tective," in which he said he had been
advised he would be called to Albany
soon on the Thaw matter and that the
governor wanted Thaw out" The SUI
lperintendent added that even if he had
received written order from the gov
ernor to release Thaw he would not
have done so.
DR.. Russell, when asked whether he
considered Thaw insane, declined to an
swer DR.. May later testified that DE-
Russell had expressed the opinion 20
him that Thaw was mot paranoie,
but was suffering from a form of men
tai unsoundness which is spoken of as
constitutional inferiority."
Clark, likewise declared DR.. Russell

BY c. Z. STEWART

Washington, February 21.-(Special. }
TIE only changes in the public build
ings and grounds bill, reported to the
Senate today and relating to the Bir-
mingham postoffice was in the SEN
tence where the original bill said !:
"The Secretary of the Treasury be,
and he is authorized and directed TO
ACQUIRE by purchase, condemnation or
otherwise, a site or additional ground
adjoining the site already acquired,
etc, was changed to read: "Authorized
and directed to contract for the ac-
QUESTION by purchase" etc.
Then further in the bill in the sem
tence beginning with 'the cost of said
building and addition to site" was
changed to read, "the. cost of said
building and additional ground"
Then where it provided THAT il the
Secretary of the Treasury should de-
eide to acquire a new site he may sell
the site already acquired at an upset
price of not less than 100000 at pub
lie or private sale in the discretion OF
the Secretary of the Treasury" now
reads, that if the Secretary of the
Treasury should decide to acquire a
new site he may in his discretion sell
the site already acquired at an up
set price, etc"
If there is any significance in the
changes it is in the first one where the
secretary was directed to acquire by
purchase. etc. site or additional
ground" which was changed to read
directed to contract for the acquisi-
tion by purchase, etc, of a site or ad-
ditiona1 grounds.
There was no change in the amount
appropriated.
Another change in the bill by the
Senate committee was in the case OF
the appropriation of se5, 900 for a post
office and site at Decatur To the
House provision the Senate committee
tackled on, ito be erected at such point
as shall be equally convenient so fat
as possible. to the cities of Decatur

This may or may not be altogether
pleasing to the citizens of those two
cities.

government has pointed on. to the powers
sienatory OF articles of the second Ha que

Continue Military Preparedness

While it is hoped that the Huerta
government will be able to draw to its
support all of the revolutionary leaders
of the north and the south, the admin
istration continues under the belief that
prudence dictates the continuance OF
military and naval policy of prepared
ness. Pursuant to this, the first and
fifth brigades of the army remain un-
der preparatory orders for foreign SER
vice and the three army transports
which are due to arrive at Galveston
early next week will be retained there
ready to embark troops at a moment 5
notice.
Madero will not be railroaded to Jail
thrown into madhouse or summarily
executed by Provisional President
Huerta, according to reports today from
reports that he will be given fail
trial and possibly the worst fate that
will await him be exile.
Secretary Knox, with the approval
of President Taft, had instructed Am
bassador Wilson to convey to Hueran
in diplomatic terms the intimation that
the United States would seriously OBJ
ject to a summary execution or SEN
tence of Madero.
1t was not felt here that the for
mer president should be slaughtered
or put out of the way for crimes which
seemed purely political without a fair
and impartial trial.
This view was made plain to Huerta
and the fact was not concealed that the
United States looked with disfavor upor
the shooting of Gustavo Madero The
administrations attitude toward the
provisional government in Mexico was
discussed at the cabinet meeting Presi-
dent Taft and Mr.. Knox have never
believed, it was said, that Madero was
a strong president for a republic sowr
with revolutionary germs. They have
believed, however, that he had dis
played many marked humane traits
and that he was entitled to hearing
