Concord y. H.. Feb. -o.-Harry Tnaw :
hopes Of being Immediately freed on bail
were dashed in the United states District
Cour, this afternoon. when Judge Edgar
Aldrich declared that ne had doubts as To
his right to grant bail and that he might
leave the question To he passed upon by
some member of the United states Su-
preme Court.
"Nlv view as TO bail is a little different
than IL would have been had the question
been precipitated earlier he said
Ex-Governor william \. stone OF penn
sylyania, and other counsel 10Y ina"
Immediately pressed Judge Aidrich Tor a
decision on the ground that he was thoi-
oughly familiar with the proceedings
and if action by supreme Court JUS
lice were invoked large amount oi
repetition would he necessitated.
After an all-day hearing the court ao-
iourued until tomorrow morning
For the first time IN the history OF me
United States Court Judge Adrlch a.
lowed moving pictures to be taken Al!
the PRINCIPALS were recorded on the films
including Judge Aldrich. Mrs. Geonrey
Whitney. Thaw's sister. formerly the
Countess Of Yarmouth, and the prisoner ;
mother Mrs. Mary copley Thaw. ina"
himself smiled obligingly into the cam
eras 49,. .h.
Thaw's smile disappeared before the
end OF the hearing. however and ne eA-
pressed himself as bitterly disappointed
at the way things had gone against NM
jerome AssaiIs Governor Stone.
William Travers Jerome said tonight
that he is prepared 10 oppose the grant
ing OF bail in his argument tomorrow
Jerome was bitter in his remarks about
ex-Governor Stone who said Jerome :
statements to the court were not clear 10
any one except himself
"The Governor doesn't understand them'
but his associates do. for they are law
yers." said MIR Jerome.
Governor Stone argued that the writ OF
babeas corpus should be granted FOR two
req sons: First. because there IL no SUD-
stantlal crime charged against Thaw;
second because the record OF the con-
sniracv proceedings is full Of evidence OF
bad faith.
when | charge bad faith" continued
Governor Stone, II do not charge u
against the people Of New York, nor me
Governor Of New York. but from the EVIL
demo. In the record 7 charge the repre-
sentatives OF New York with bad faith.
The acts of bad faith are unconscionaoIe'
Attorney General Carnody, instead OF 'ht
District Attorney, has displayed UNUSUAL
evidences OF zeal, although there was nc
clanor for him to act, and even the grand
iurv of Duchess County failed to return
an indictment.
Would Have Name on Jail Door
"But Carmody found a bill in New York
We found law which requires list OF
witnesses on the back of an indictment
and Oh Mr.. Carmody's we discovered the
name of William Travers Jerome, who
crept into the grand jury room TO TESTIFY
where there was no counsel or Judge. ia
rather have my name On the door or any
county Jail in the State OF New HorH
than on the back of this indictment
against this unfortunate man.
Thaw was manifestly disappointed wher
Judge Aldrich seemed disposed to post
pone the bail issue.
Frequent references were made to th'
ultimate arrival of the case in the Su'
preme Court. 4 pro forma decision II
