pendently However he has not an
nounced any final decision in the
matter.
In the democratic camp DIR, c. J

COMMISSION FINDS THAT
THAW IS NOT INSANE NOW

CONCORD. n. H., Jan. l2.-The
release Of Harry Kendall Thaw under
bail would not be public menace,
according to the report of the COM
mission appointed by Federal Judge
Aldrich to inquire into the state of
Thaw's mentality. The commission
ers found that Thaw was not afflict-
ed with any of the mental diseases
from which he was held to be suf-
fering at the time he killed Stanford
White.
The finding was announced yester-
day. While the commissioners say
they have reached "a definite and
positive opinion as to the present
mental condition Of Thaw and his
probable state of mind at the time of
pressing this opinion, in view of their
instructions from the court not to EN-
harrass any subsequent litigation
where the broad question of insanity
nigh, be involved.
Upon the question of menace or
danger through the granting of bail
we may. owever, be permitted and
probably are compelled" concludes
the report. "to record our finding that
whatever may have been the mental
condition OF Harry Kendall Thaw at
the time Of the homicide, on which
question We express no opinion, he Is
not now suffering from any of the
forms OF mental disease alleged by
the prosecution at the time of the
trials or subsequently thereto, name
-manio--depressive insanity, par
anoia, dementia praecox or delusion-
ial insanity.
I'm our opinion 1t is reasonably
probably that Harry Kendall Thaw's
liberty under bail would not be dan
gerous or menace to the public
safety"
