THAW MUST FACE
TRIAL IN NEW YORK
Supreme Court Overrules New
Hampshire Supreme Court
Decision

Washington, Dec. 2l.-lIarry X.
Thaw, slayer of Stanford White, was
ordered extradited by the United
States supreme court today from New
Hampshire to New York.
The court decision means that
Thaw must return to New York and
face trial on charge of conspiracy.
The ruling today reversed the deeis.
ion Of the New Hampshire supreme
court, which granted Thaw S applica.
tion for a writ of aabeas corpus.
Whether Thaw will be returned to
the Matteawan asylum for the criminal
insane will depend on the New York
authorities. Thaw's attorneys here de.
clared that their client was not tried
for conspiracy and if attempts were
made to hold him Gs an alleged luna.
tic, another nabeas corpus writ would
be sought
The court S opinion was read by JUS
tice Holmes. 1t oyerruled nearly every
point made by Thaw's counsel saying
in part:
"Thaw was a fugitive from justice
and was charged with II real crime II
is for a jury in the state Of New York,
after considering thellaws of the state,
to determine whether or not Thaw was
insane at the time Of the act or whe-
ther he is guilty Of crime against the
laws Of New York.
"Thaw S attorneys alleged that it
was no crime for q man in an insane
asylum in the state Of New York to
walk out If he could do So Therefore,
it was contendcd that it was not a
crime to DO this thing. But that does
not necessarily follow.
at is ndt crime for a person to with
hold his patronage from n certain shop,
but If number of persons conspire to.
g ther to withhold their patronage
from that shop it becomes conspir.
acy, punishable legally, and, therefore,
we are obliged to held that the with.
drawal of Thaw from IN insane p'ymm,
uasmueh as he did IL to Obstfiiet the
law, was conspiracy for that purpose,
and consequently the indictment on
which the state of New York fought to
bring Thnw back to -,tw York, charges
a crime.
''We are also obliged to hold, on the
same theory, that Thaw is a fugitive
from Justice. 1t has further been con.
tended that if Thaw is insane, he il
not guilty of any crime under the laws
of New York. and that, If he is not in.
sane, he would nave been discharged
from the asylum, But the statutes re.
quire that if supposedly insane per.
son commits a crime, it is necessary for
the defense to prove that that person
was insane at the actual moment Of the
overt act II has been held that per.
son may be insane and yet realize at
the time Of the crime that it was
wrong.
"Now, this is not Thaw's trial.
That must be decided nndcr the laws
Of New York, by New York jury, and
Furthermore no discretion is given in
the law providing for extradtion, and
it plainly says that, upon an Indictment
charging fraud being found, aud proof
Of that submitted to the state to which
the fugitive has fled, the fugitive must
be surrendered to the demanding state.
For this, and other reasons, we reverse
the decision az the district court Of
New Hampshire"

LACK OF EQUIPMENT
HAMPERED ALLIES
TeutOn Leaders Think Attacks
Are FOrerunners of Gen.
eral Attack
BY ]. W. T. Mason.
(Former London correspondent for the
United Press)

United Press
New York, Dec. 2l.--Berlin, for the
first time, suggested today that the Of
fensive in northwestern Belgium had
passed from the Germans to the allies.
In connection with this intimation,
the further fact was made public that
the long expected general attack of the
Anglo.Franco-Belgian forces had not
yet developed
The official form Of the Berlin de-.
claration was speculative suggestion
that this new offensive might now be
beginning.
1t is apparent that the Germans are
feeling the pressure which the allies
have been bringing to bear against
their front in Belgium and northern
France in the past fortnight.
Reports from French and British
sources have conveyed the impression
that these attacks were not more than
recOnnoisances in force, ordered by
General Joffrc 10 determine the rela.
tive strength Of the various German
positions. Berlin, however, places a
more serious Interpretation on the
allies purposes.
Undoubtedly this means that the at.
tacks ON the German trenches are in.
crcasing in violence and that the gains
they are making are becoming notice
able.
Has Learned Caution.
The supposition was that Joffre in.
tended to delay his main offensive un.
til spring, when he win have a much
larger force at his disposal than at
present, The developments Of new con.
ditions however, evidently caused IL
to he launched much earlier than was
anticipated,
Presumably these new conditions con.
sisted in the unexpectedly rapid de.
livery Of arms and ammunition to the
allies-quitc possibly from the United
States.
il has not been lack OF men but lacl,
Of equipment which has been the prime
reason why the allies have been the
Germans interiors since fighting be.
gan in the western war zone,
All these circumstances seem to inn
ply an early attempt by the Anglo.
FrancoBelpian forces to drive the
kaiser's troops back to their Rhine de.
fcnscs.
At the same time It must be EN-.
phas1ed that General Joffre has
learned extreme caution from the les.
sons Of the first few weeks Of the war
in Alsaco and Lorraine. Hence It Is
certain that no order will be given for
n general advance until conditions are
as nearly as possible what the French
commander wants them TO be.
He Is the most patient, sccrctvc war
rior Of his time, and military observers
may be deceived concerning his inten-
tons.
