Jerome Shows Feeling.

To the charge that he had fresorted
to subterfuge and was moved by ulte-
ricr motives in his determination to
return Thaw to the Matteawan Insane
asylum, Jerome retorted with unusu-
al feeling that the state of New York
would not permit its justice to be de-
feated by the corrupt use of Thaw
money.
At the conclusion of the arguments,
the Governor gave counsel until Mon
day to file supplementary briefs so Ills

Senate chamber of the Capitol, where
the hearing was held. was Attorney
General futile by whose opinion the
executive has said he will be guided.
New Angles Develop.
During Jeromes arguments new am
giles in the celebrated case developed.
One that appeared to take the oppos-
ing counsel by surprise was his state
men. that Thaw was now under indict-
ment in Duchess county, charged with
conspiracy to escape from the insane
asylum. Former Judge William M.
Chase and Former Gov. William Stone
pleading for Thaw. had emphasized the
common belief that no bill had been
found against their client and that ac-
cordingly there was no evidence be-
fore the Governor that New York in4
tended to place him on trial.
Jerome went further and gave his
word that Thaw would be placed on
trio fr
state
These assertions were coupled With
the explanation that the returning OF
the indictment had been kept secret in
order that he might present to the jury
evidence against 1.-The instigator of this
plot, a man of more Importance thau

ing"
Judge Chase, in turn. suggested a
new idea, declaring that New York
State had no right to confine Thaw
who, he said, was a citizen of Penn
sylvania and should by right hava
been returned to that state when he
was adjudged insane.
Counsel Afforded Latitude.
Gov. Felker had announced that
counsel would not be confined in their.
remarks, but might shed all the light
that they could on the case In OPEN
ing, Mr.. Jerome contented himsele
with stating that the Governor had
no alternative to honoring the re-
quest of the New York authorities HIS
held that the only points to be de-
termined were that Thaw was want
ed and that he was in New York state
when the alleged offence was CONS
mitted. Judge Chase followed with
the argument that Thaw was insane
when he escaped from Matteawan, and
therefore irresponsible. The eharga
of conspiracy had been trumpet up.
he said, for the purpose of returning
Thaw to the asylum.
Governor Stone followed in sins
liar vein, declaring that there was no
law to punish a lunatic for escaping
from an asylum. Both quoted at
length from authorities.
