New York's hospital for the criminal
insane would not menace public safe
Ity is the opinion expressed by two OF
his custodians today at public hear
ing before the commission appointed
| by the federal court to pass upon the
matter of Thaw's mental condition,
| and its relation to his liberation I'M
| der bonds Holman A. Drew, sheriff
lof Coos county, and Clark D. Stevens,
of the local police force, who have had
Thaw in charge since September, ia
lvored his admission to bail.
E. P. Mute, United States marshal
| and third custodian, who was unable
Ito attend today's hearing, will appear
Tomorrow with Oliver j. Petren, man
lager of the hotel where Thaw has
lived since he began his fight to re-
Isist extradition to New York.
Thaw and his mother were present
with counsel. None of the legal rep
!resentatives of New York state were
in attendance when the hearing OPP
ened.
Sheriff Drew told Of his close re-
lations with Thaw during the period
Of his custodianship. During that
time, he said, Thaw had not shown
any tendency towards violence, and
had manifested no ill-temper, no irri-
liability and no lack of self-control.
The sheriff said that Thaw was
nervous and excited when first ar
rested at Colebrook, after his de-
p0rtation from Canada, and also
showed some excitement when he
was denounced at the extraditio1
hearing before Governor Felker by
VIM. T. Jerome, special deputy attor-
new general ,os New York, but no
more than any nan would under the
same circumstances added the w.t.
ness.
Thaw was pleasant companion
under all circumstances, and in con-
versations upon current topics dis
played wonderful insight"
Would you consider him charac-
terized by an exaggeration of the
ego?" asked Dr. George A. Blumer of
the commission.
"N0, sir"
Officer Stevens; who occupied a
sleeping room with the prisoner and
accompanies him on his walks de-
scribed Thaw as "a perfect gentle
man" He said he wished he had
Thaw's conversational ability. The
principal difference between Thaw and
other men, in his opinion, was that
Thaw was more kind than the gem
eral run of the witness acquaintance.
Stevens said that Thaw's wife hal
never been mentioned in the CONVEX
sati0ns. No anger or resentment to-
wards any public official or other per-
son with whom his past had been
connected had ever been shown in his
presence by his charge, whose con-
duct had been characterized by COM
mon sense. The witness had never
seen anything about the prisoner to
make him feel that Thaw was q pub
