lost his fight today in the supreme
court Of the United States against be-
ing extradited from the state Of New
Hampshire to the state Of New York.
In q brief decision by Justice Holmes
It was held that the celebrated prisoner
should be turned over at once to the
New York authorities to answer an In
diotment charging conspiracy to escape
from Matteawan hospital.
Whether his escape from the hos
pital. his counsel contended. while he
was insane constituted a crime. the
court did not enter into. holding these
questions were for the courts OF New
York to decide.
But One Question Up.
Merely the question OF returning
Ihaw on the conspiracy indictment
vas up for decision. Whatever moves
were open to Thaw's counsel ON his
return to New York. where he was
twice tried, those familiar with the
legal procedure were at q loss to fore
cast. MO those who had followed the
case It seemed that the fight against
returning to New York was lost, and
nothing remained but for the sheriff OF

on Aug. II, 1918, Thaw escaped from

two trials for the murder of Stanford
White Charged with a conspiracy to.
escape. he was finally arrested in New
Hampshire. He was indicted in New
York on that charge and application
for his extradition was made to New
Hampshire. Extradition was ordered
by the governor but on habeas corpus
proceedings in the federal district
court. Judge Aldrich held Thaw should
be released.
Decision Unanimous.
Justice Holmes announced the courts
unanimous decision today. He first
oyerruled the contention that it was
not a crime for man confined in an
insane asylum to walk out II he could,
and therefore a conspiracy to do so was
not crime.
I'VE do not regard as open to debate
4 withdrawal by connivance Of a man
from an insane asylum to which he had
be en committed as Thaw was did tend
to obstruct the due administration OF
the law At least the New York court
may SO decide. Therefore the incident
charges . crime . II there is any de-
feet in earlier proceedings in which
Thaw was committed, this is not the
time and place for that question to be
tried"
Justice Holmes said the most serious
argument for Thaw is chat II he was
insane he could not be guilty Of crime.
