DECLARE THAW
NOT A MENACE
Commission On His Mentality
Wound Admit Elm to
Bail
But HIS SANITY
IS LEFT UNDECIDED

CONCORD, y. H.. Jan. 12.-Harry
Kendall Thaw would not De public
menace if he were released on bail,
according to the report of the COM
mission appointed by Federal Judge
Aldrich 20 inquire into the state Of
rhaw's mentality.
The report says the commission
finds Thaw is not now afflicted with
an, of the mental diseases from
WHICH he was suffering when he slew
Stanford White. The finding was
announced yesterday.
While the commissioners say that
they have reached definite and
nositive opinion as to the present
mental condition Of Thaw and his
probable state Of mind at the time of
the homicide" they refrain from eN-
pressing this opinion in view of their
instructions from the court not to
"embarrass any subsequent litigation
whore the broad question of insanity
might be involved"
Unto the question of menace or
danger through the granting of bail,
we may. however be permitted. and
probably are compelled" concludes
the report. 30 record our finding that
whatever may have been the mental
condition Of Harry X. Thaw at the
time of the homicide, upon which
lcuestion we express no opinion, he
Is not suffering from any of the forms
OF mental disease alleged by the
prosecution at the tine OF the trials
or subsequently thereto, namely,
manic Oppressive insanety. paranoia,
dementia. praecox or delusional in
sanity.
Considered No Menace.
In our opinion, it is reasonably
probable that Harry Kendall Thaw's S
liberty under bail would not be
dangerous or q menace to the public
peace and safety"
The commission. which was ap-
pointed December II last consisted OF
Gen Frank S. Streeter. q lawyer OF
his city. as chairman; Or. Morton
Prince. of boston; Dr. G. Alder Blum
en- superintendent of Butler Hospital
. for the Insane at Providence, r. l..
and Dr. Charles r. Bancroft. super
D. iniendent cf the New Hampshire Hos
rital for the Insane, OF this city.
The report is now in the hands OF
the clerk oil the court and will be
considered by Judge Aldrich early in
the present week in connection with
the petition Of Thaw to bail under
habeas corpus proceedings. In the
= rescrlpt naming the commission the
+, Judge said that after the presentaa
tion OF the report the interested
parties would have an opportunity {,

LEzzARD MAY
FOLLOW FREAK
MORNING STORM

Wilmington was visited by a freak
snow storm this morning about 1O15
o'clock that is believed TO be fore
runer of cold spell. and possibly a
blizzard, If reports from the Weather
Bureau at Washington, prove true.
About ten o'clock this morning the
western sky became darkened, as If a
cyclonic storm we're approaching.
The darkness gradually overcast the
entire city giving every impression
of the cold bleak day outdoors.
About 1915 o'clock the snow began
to fall. and was driven by high
westerly wind. Big Globes of white
were driven along the streets, max
ing it impossible for pedestrians to
see very far ahead OF them. In a few
minutes the ground was mantled.
Had the storm kept up at that pace Il
would have been but few hours be-
fore this section would have been in
the grip of an overpowering blizzard
that would have caused no end OF
trouble to transportation lines and
wire services.
Fortunately the fall began to fade
about 1890 o'clock. and with the
glowing of the sun the snow dwindled
down to a little furry, then ceased
falling. but left every indication that
the storm was not over with
by any means. Possibly the most
joyous persons this morning were the
children who received sleds as Christ
mas gifts
After a day Of sparkling sunshine
which tempered the keen edge of the
air and brought into the streets thou
