MORTAL TERROR
Says Many Men Will Have
Cause for Fear Now
Thaw Is Free.

New York, Aug. 17.-Uniformed DO
lice stood guard tonight at every en-
trance to the hotel where Evelyn Nes-
bit Thaw is staying. Always fearful
of her husband, she showed her terror
to a marked degree on learning that
he was at large. Her mother Mrs.
Charles J. Holman, was frightene 1
even more than she and urged Mrs
Thaw to go into seclusion until Tbaw
is found
Harry has threatened to XIII me-"
Mrs. Thaw said, and I believe my
presence in New York prompted him
to escape. Four years ago he told me-
suppose I'll have to kill you next
Many men will have cause for fear
now that he Is free. He considers DR..
Austin Flint his worst enemy AMI I'M
doubtedly will try to make trouble
for him
The state of New York has a great
deal to answer for in this case. What
Harry Thaw has been allowed to do
at Natteawan is an outrage to think
of, bribery connived at and keepers
bullied by all the power of his money
And now he is allowed to escape. I
dollars looked pretty good to some
people.
"One thing is certain Harry won't stay
in hiding long. He'll be heard from soon.
few drinks make him raving mad
man. and when that happens he'll start
straight for New York He's crazy to get
here and he won't be able to stay away.

It's pretty hard to tell what Harry
will do now that he is free Harry is
crafty; think he has it in mind to reveal
his Whereabouts soon and start some legal
action. He certainly took into considera-
ton conditions at Albany and timed his

the mix-up between the Governor and
the Legislature made the time just right
for such an attempt as he made
There's another man besides DR. Flint
who has cause to fear Harry. lawyer
named Delafield told Harrys mother that
Harry was crazy long before he shot
White. Harry never forgave him. He
always threatened to do something to him
He's terribly revengeful. He had that
way of his before he killed White In
fact. Harry's trouble with Stanford White
started over another girl long before he
met me"
Mrs. Thaw refused to name the other
woman. Private detectives We're placed
in the hotel to reinforce the uniformed
police outside, but police headquarters
refused to detail central office detectives

dislike him. He has told his friends On
more than one occasion that "Thaw
makes trouble for all of us ana keeps
the place in n turmoil"
Thaw's escape vas aided nv the fact
that he has constantly declared that he
would not accept freedom unless it WAS
by legal process. The hospital authorities
as result of this had given him
liberties which many Other prisoners did
not enjoy. He was never given any un-
usual privileges be"nud those allowed to
TRUSTEES.
The asylum housed Thaw not as muir
derer but as an insane person The jury
which sent him here acquitted him of the
murder of Stanford White on the same
grounds as caused his Incarceration in
the hospital for the criminal insane. that
of insanity. Hence he could not be
brought back to New York on the old
murder charge. He could not therefore,
he arrested in any other State for extra
dition the hospital authorities said to-
night, as he is charged with no crime.
In this view the hospital authorities
were supported by Dr Austin Flint, the
expert of New York who testified in all
the criminal proceedings against Thaw,
DR.. Charles Kennedy of New York who
has appeared several times as Thaws
counsel in the various insanity hearings,
and by other lawyers,
THIRD DEGREE AWAITS HIM.
Howard II. Barnum, the gateman who
Thaw euded In his dash for the waiting
automobile, was lodged in the county
Jail at Poughkeepsie ao-pight on the
charge of aiding and abettng Thaw in
his escape. An all night third degree"
ordeal awaited him there, It was said.
According to Sheriff Hornbecl;, Barnum
asserted that he was SO supplied by
Thaw's break for liberty that he could
not move for several seconds or until
Thaw was ready to leap into the car. 1t
was then too late for pursuit.
William Vanamec Thaw's local Coun-
sci, visited Thaw Friday afternoon and
remained with him half an hour. He had
been calling on Thaw twice week or
oftener for some time.
DIR. Kieb complained bitterly tonight
that he had been hanpered greatly in his
surveillance of Thaw by a recent order
issued by Supreme Court Justice Temp
kins, Under this order Thaw was per-
mitted TO receive visitors and counsel
alone. Usually, inmates receive visitors
only In the presence of keeper Thaw
was also permitted, under the Order to
take certain amount OF exercise each
day without surveillance.
GLYNN DEMANDS INVESTIGATION
Albany, n. Y, Aug Il. -Telegrams were
sent by Martin IL. Glynn tonight to John

prisons, and to DIR. Raymond f. G. Kieb, |
superintendent of the Matteawan State
hospital, asking for immediate informa-
ton concerning the escape OF Harry Is |

cnt Is expected in Albany tomorrow.
Mr. Glvnns telegram 20 the two officials
reads:
please telegraph me Immediately all
details you have about escape from Mat
teawan state hospital Of Harry * Thaw.
(SigneD MARTIN II. GLYNN,
Acting Governor "
Il am going to demand a rigid invo:,.i-
cation of this whole affair" said Mr..
Glynn tonight, after he had learned the
details of Thaw's escape from the Assoc
ciatod Press. at is a serious matter and
demands an immediate and thorough in
quiry."
The Mattcawan state hospital is under
the jurisdiction of the State department
Of prisons. Inasmuch as Superintendent
Riley is an appointce of Governor Sulzer
there was speculation in official circles
tonight us to whether the supcrintend-
ent would recognize Mr.. Glynn as acting
governor and reply to the message
DR. Kieb, formerly first assistant ply
stefan at Danncmora State hospital, was
appointed superintendent of Matteawan
on juno G, last, by superintendent Rllcv.
He succeeded DR.. Roy l.. Leak, who had
been acting superintendent since the re-
signation of Or. John W. Russell, fol-
lowing the Thaw bribery scandal UNI
earthed by Governor Suffers committee
of inquiry Or. Leak resumed his posi-
ton as first assistant physician.
THINK HE CAN BE EXTRADITED
An attempt tonight to reach by tcle-
phone Attornrv-Gcneia Carmody, who is
at Fourth Lake in the Adlrondacks, was
unsuccessful. TWO of Mr. Carmody's as
sistants expressed the informal opinion
that Thaw could bc cxtradited on requisi-
ton papers signed by the Governor. ."
They also pointed out that in such cases,
the authorities Of any commonwealth to
which Thaw might dee have tie power to
detain him as person dangerous to the
and to return him TO the State
from which he same. In ordinary cases
Of this kind, IT was said, it is unusual
for any demand for the return OF the fugi-
tive TO be made 50 long as the State to
which he fees is willing to ASSUME the
responsibility of his prcrence there
A point that was discussed with iu;er-
est was that Thaw bad seized an oppor-
tune moment for making his escape on
account of the conflict over the governor
ship.
An Official connected wiz! the state ':os-
pital commission asserted tonight that
rhaw. once outside the borders Ct the
State would be safe.

Great Serial Coming.

We have arranged to publish
as the next serial story in the RE-
VIEW the greatest product from
the pen of Emerson Hough, en-
titled John Rawn, Prominent
Citizen. Not this year nor in
many years shall we see in fiction
a character SO fascinating and as
nearly unique as John Rawn. 1t
is the extraordinary portrayal of
an extraordinary man, ambitious,
dominating and egotistical, who
lets nothing stand in the path
leading to the power he desires.
How John RaWn oyersteps him
self when the long-sought prize
is almost within his grasp furn-
ishes most dramatic and moral
teaching climax. The story has
the endorsement of hundreds of
leading men in public life. Every
one should read it.
