Judge w. NJ. Chase, for the pris-
oner. argued that Thaw was insane
when he escaped from Matteawan and
therefore irresponsible. The charge
of conspiracy had been trumped up
he said, for the purpose of returning
Thaw to the asylum.
Speaking in a similar vein, Former
Gov. Stone of Pennsylvania declared
that there was no law to punish a
lunatic for escaping from an asylum.
Both quoted at length from authorl-
ties.
George F. Morris, the third OF
Thaw's counsel, attacked the petition
for extradition, saying it sought to 90

@FOrced and Fraudulent
Mr.. Jerome said that while he had
listened to many arguments in many
tribunals, he never had heard a more
extraordinary argument advanced
than that of Mr.. Morris, that in a
forced and fraudulent public opinion
the governor of New Hampshire could
and shonld find a reason for an excuse
for disregarding the petition for a
writ of extradition and for refusing to
perform a duty laid upon him by the
constitution of the United States.
He quoted from decisions OF the
United States supreme court to snow
every offense punishable by law and
that the certificate of the requesting
governor was all the authority as to
the crime committed that was needed

quest was made.

Thaw Indictment Kept Secret if it

Poughkeepsie, n Y, Sept. 23.-If
the grand jury of Dutchess county has
found an indictment against Harry K.
Thaw, as reported by William T. Je-
rome at Concord today, it has not
been made puDlic here nor handed
up in any court. The district attor-
ney's office explained this afternoon
that the jury had made no report on
the case and mad adjourned for two

It was added that it was possible

When the grand jury came into

Dean informed Judge Hasbrouck that
"the case they were considering" pre-
sumably the Thaw case, was to be
taken away from them and given to
the next grand jury, which he thought
was not right, as they had been work

THAW HEARING HELD;
DECISION DEFERRED
JEROME FIGHTS HARD AGAINST
GALAXY OF COUNSEL.
Calls on Governor to Ignore Hysteria.
AT Least Week Before Rul-
ing is Given.

Concord, N. H, Sept. 23.-The duty
of the State of New Hampshire to-
ward Harry K. Thaw was the subject
of exhaustive argument before Gov.
Felker today.
The legal battle in which William
Travers Jerome, special deputy attor-
ney general of New York State, which
seeks to obtain the extradition OF
Thaw as a fugitive from justice, was
pitted against three of the fugitive's
array of counsel, was dramatic at
times, and near the close came dan
gerously near to being personal.
To the charge that he had resort
ed to subterfuge and was moved by
uIterior motives in his determination
to return Thaw to the Matteawan in
sane asylum, Jerome retorted with
unusual feeling that the State of New
York would not permit its justice to
be defeated by the corrupt use Of
Thaw money.
"A Weeks Delay.
At the conclusion of the arguments
the governor gave counsel until Mon
day to file supplementary briefs. This
means his decision will not be known
for week at least.
During Jerome's arguments new
angles in the celebrated case develop
ed. One that appeared to take the
opposing counsel by surprise was his
statement that Thaw is now under
Indictment in Duchess county, charg-
ed with conspiracy to escape from
the insane asylum. Attorneys for
Thaw had emphasized the common
belief that no bill had been found
against their client and that there
was no evidence before the governor
that New York intended to place him
on trial
Promises Trial.
Jerome went further ana gave MS
word that Thaw would be placed on
trial if returned to New York State.
These assertions were coupled with
the explanation that the returning of
the Indictment had been kept secret
in order that evidence might be pre-
sented to the jury against ''tne insti-
gator of this plot, man of more i'm
portance than any one yet mentioned
in this proceeding.
