u. S. Supreme, Court
ReverSeS Decision in
Case of Man Who
Slew White
MUST GO BACK
TO NEW YORK
Extradition of Evelyn's Husband From
New Hampshire to Empire State Is
Now Probable From Decision of
Highest Tribunal
By Associated Press.

Washington, Dec. 21.--,Harry X.
Thaw lost his fight to-day IN tne SUI
preme Court of the United states
against being extradited from the State
OF New Ham. shire To the State of New
York.
In brief decision by Justaee Holmes,
which was the unanimous decision of
the court, ii was held that thc celebrat-
ed prisoner should be turned over at
once to the New York authorities TO
answer an Indictment charging con-
spracy to escape from Matteawau
Asylum for the Criminal Insane.
Whether his escape from the asylum
while, as his counsel eontended he was
insane, constituted crime, aud other
questions. the Court dismissed with the
comment that they could not enter into
a habeas corpus proceeding and that
they were proper questions for the State
of New York to decide.
Actually. the celebrated Thaw case,
the killing of Stanford White. was not
before the supreme Court. Merely tne
question of returning Thaw on the con
spiracy indictment was up for decision
History of Thaw's Escape
On August II. 1918. Thaw escaped
from the Matteawan Insane Hospital in
New York where he had been confined
after two trials for the murder of stan
ford White. Charged with conspiracy
to escape. he was finally arrested in
New Hampshire. He was indicted in
New York ON that charge aud apflica-
tion for his extraditon was made to
New Hampshire. Extradition was order
ed by the Governor of New Hampshire
but on haoeas corpus proceedings in tne
federal district court, Judge Aldrieh
held Thaw should be released.
Justice Holmes announced the court 5
unanimous decision to-day. He first
oVerruled the contention that it was not
a crime for a man confined in an in
sane asylum to walk out if he could and
that, therefore conspiracy to do SO
was not a crime.
Case Not Open to Debate
We do not regard it as open to
debate, that the withdrawal. by conniv-
ance of a man from an insane asylum
to which he had been committed as
Thaw was did tend to obstru,t the due
| administration of the law, at least the
New York courts may so decide. There
fore, the Indictment charges a crime. If
there is any remote defect in the earlier
proceedings by which rnaw was COM
mitted, which we are far from intimat.
ing, this is not the time aad place for
that question to be tried.

Ed. Welsh, panhandler and police
character, as an excuse for stealing a
coat belonging to Miss Clara Miller,
stenographer to the District Attorney,
said he wanted money to buy whiskey.
He sold the coat, got his drink and was
apprehended shortly afterward by the
police. He told the Judges that he
was ''oaded with morphine when he
took the coat. Welsh also confessed to
stealing a dozen and half of eggs
from farmer attending one of the
city markets. Welsh has served sew
eral Jail terms and the Court warned
him that if .he appears again on Grim
mai charge he can expect nothing less
than penitentiary sentence. He was
sent to the county Jail for six months.
Two boys were willing to plead guilty
to charges of feloniously entering a
Hummelstown grocery, but one of them
sprung surprise by declaring that he
will not be 16 until tomorrow. He,
therefore, is juvenile in the legal
sense. The Court remanded both to
Jail. saying the case will be disposed
of at the regular juvenile session in
January.
