IHAW
SENT
BACK

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. II.
Harry Thaw, New York's fa-
nous prisoner, was today ordered
extradited by the United State,
supreme court from New Hamp-
shire to New York. The court o
decision means that Thaw must
return to New York to face trial
on a charge of conspiracy.
The ruling reversed the deci-
sion of the New Hampshire ST.
preme court, which granted
Thaw's application for a writ OF
habeas corpus. Whether Thaw
will be returned to Matteawan
asylum for the criminal insane
will depend on the New York an-
thorities.
Thaw's lawyers declared today
that IL their client was not tried
for conspiracy or if attempts were
made to hold him as an alleged
lunatie, another habeas corpus
writ would be sought.
