Doubt Illness and Confession
| Of Mrs. SuIzer.

Albany, N. Y, Aug. 19.-Doubtful II
Mrs. Sulzer ever did confess entire
responsibility for forging Governor
Sulzer's name to checks used In Wall
street speculation, and further
questioning the story that Mrs. Sui.
ger has been seriously Ill, the Frawley
investigating committee proposes to
issue a Jane Doe summons for a
trained nurse who attended the gov.
ernor's wife.
This nurse, who was discharged on
Saturday because, as Governor Sulzer
explained to a friend, "she talked too
much" returned to her home In New
York at once. AS soon as the com.
mittee ascertains her address the
summons will be served on her to ap.
pear before the committee. The
young woman's name and identity are
being closely guarded.
While the Frawley committee has
been reluctant about what Is referred
to here as "the woman phase" Of the
impeachment situation, 1t now feels
that Mrs. Suffers confession and i'll
ness have been capitalized to an ex.
tent where all facts relating thereto
must be subjected to test.

New York, Aug. 19-Harry Thaw's
forty-eight-hour absence from the Mat
teawan asylum for the criminal insane
had established little beyond the fact
that he had escaped and that the
state of New York, in the opinion of
those qualified to speak, had slim
chance of extraditing him.
That he is beyond the borders of
the state was regarded as certain
With the Connecticut line only thirty
miles from the asylum and Thaw and
his conspirators travelling by automo-
bile more than sixty miles an hour,
reaching Connecticut was a matter OF
thirty minutes or less.
Whether the slayer of Stanford
White boarded a yacht off South Nor
walk, Gonna theory partially ex.
ploded by the Identification of yel-
low funneled craft which sailed from
there Sunday-has not been borne
out.
On the other hand no authenticated
trace of Thaw had been found in Con-
necticut, nor were their clues to his
having sped on toward the Canadian
border. When found-and il was con
sidered foregone conclusion that he
would be-the New York authorities
may try to force his extradition on
one of two grounds.
Bribery May Be Charge.
First, that in escaping he technical
ly assaulted a keeper; second, that
bribery of some attache of the asylum
could be shown. Either OF these, II
sustained, would constitute an extra
ditable offense.
Howard Barnum, the gatekeeper by
whom Thaw darted through the open
ing gate to an automobile, remains in
jail at Poughkeepsie. He maintains
that he was innocent of implication in
any plot.
