Pittsburgh Aug. l7.-Roger O'Mara. the
detective who had charge OF the affairs
OF Harry X. Thaw In this city. was sur
prsed when he heard of the escape Of his
client from Matteawan He said Thaw
could not have selected A better time 10

In the governorship situation in New
York State. Speaking Of Thaws confne-
ment AZ Matteawau. ne said:
Harry Thaw had hundreds of oppor-
tunites TO escape from MatteaNan. Pre-
vious 10 his close confinement by the or
der Of Governor Sulzer, Thaw's friends
pleaded with him To make his escape
He refused, however, saying ne would
get out OF his difficulty legally and he a
free man. During the last proceedings
for his freedom he Was taken In an au-
tomobile from Matteawan to the court
by a single attendant. His attendant let
the machine In HaTry's charge at times.
so confident was he that he would not
make any effort TO regain his freedom by
flight.
The former management az Mattea-
wan had implicit faith in Thaw's promise
that he WoGld not attempt Ia make his
escape, and had that freedom not been
taken from him he would not have made
the dash for liberty At this time. was
not taken into Thaw's confidence in this
matter. and can give no light on this sub
jeet. He has evidently not taken his
mother or his nearest friends into his
confidence.

Believe He Is Aboard Ship.

That those who have abetted Thaw IN
his get away have looked into every pos
slble phase OF the legal status which he
would have, II was said, led 10 the BELIEF
that he would get aboard ship bound
for the continent at the earliest oppor-
tunlty.
Or. Charles Kennedy. who is a lawyer,
of No 81 Chambers street said that
Thaw's escape into any other state or
into Canada meant that he was free

DR.. Rrittou -. Evans the medical di-
rector of the New Jersey State Hospital

Evans Josephine Terrano stabbed two
persons To death and was sent 10 Mat
teawan, and discharged shortly after.
Why didn't Mr. Jerome follow these
cases up?'
Or. Evans said he was glad that Thaw
had been able 10 escape when the oppor-
tunity offered itself. and he believed his
future course in some other jurisdiction
than that In which Matteawan prison is
located would Justify his course in the
public eye
nr. Evans also expressed the view that
rhaw was free once outside of the state
in which he shot stanford White.
Harry ThaW Is not criminal" said
nr. Evans, having been declared not
guilty by a jury of his peers. lie was
sent To Matteawan on the assumption that
ho was insane after his trial, a fact which
has been disputed in and out Of court by
the most able authorities on mental dis
eases In this country.

II have been busy with my own af-
fairs said Anhut, and ! know nothing
OF the escape other than what Is con-
tanned In the newspaper reports. Thaw
never mentioned any plans for escape TO
me
Anhut was seen at the Carlyon Arms,

who was questioned was inclined 10 he

at least that he might finally establish
for himself a status similar To that which
renders John Armstrong Chaloner In Viz

Inasmueh as the first New York murder
jury disagreed and the second acquitted
on insanity grounds the homicide case Is
regarded as closed. and II seems certain
that the first move bv Thaw. IN the event
Of his arrest In Connecticut, would be a
haheas corpus writ. Moreover. II he were
forcibly returned 10 New York Withou,

There is no doubt but that the ma

TO II that he was sent back to his insane

police court Judge or local town justice

night that ne had been hafhpered
greatly in his surveillance Of Thaw by
a recent order issued 10y supreme Court
Justice Tompkins. Under this order
Thaw was permitted % receive visitors
and counsel alone Usually, inmates re-
cciyc visitors only in the presence of
keeper Thaw was also permitted,
under the ordcr To- take certain
amount Of exercise each day without
surveillance.
Under the British Aliens act Of 1905
the Secretary of State for the
Home Department has power to
eXpel from the United Kingdom
persons classed as "lunatics. idiots
and persons who, from disease or in
FIRMLY, appear likely to become a
detriment to the public otherwise than
through the poor rates" This will
probably deter Thaw from attempting

cred very good.
At II o'clock yesterday morning a
big black touring car with three men
and a driver stopped at the Hotel Green,
in Danbury. a travelling man who
saw them remarked that one Of the
occupants resembled Harry X. Thaw.
No news Of the escape had reached
Danbury at the time. The car and its
occupants started off toward Water
bury on the Hartford Turnpike.

Or Graeme NJ. Hammond. Of No. 70

several times. also expressed himself as
not surprised that Thaw had not gotten
away from Matteawan long ago.
Il have never been OF the opinion that

A possible source of danger To Thaw

the insanity laws OF other states which
are similar to those of New York. In
such case move could only be made
on the question OF Thaws present mental

worthy guards Of the place.
"Barnum wasn't especially friendly
with Thaw." said Dir. Kieb last night.
In fact, he appeared 10 dislike him.
He told his friends on several occa-
sions that Thaw made trouble for all
the guards and kept the asylum in
more or less of a turmoil all the time"
Another Of the asylum officials said
last night:
"Thaw was housed here not as a
murderer but as an insane person. The
Jury which sent him here acquitted
him Of the murder Of Stanford White
on the same grounds that caused his
Incarceration in the Hospital for the
Criminal Insane-that Of insanity.
Therefore. Thaw could not be brought
back to New York on the old murder
charge. He could not he arrested in
