NEW YORK'S APPEAL
ON THAW DECISION
CITES NINE ERRORS
State Attacks Points Made y
Judge Who Granted
Habeas Corpus Writ.

CONCORD. N. H., May s.-The APP
peal OF tho state OF New York from
the decision Of Federal Judge Edgar
Aldrich granting Harry X. Thaw's
petition for n writ OF habcas corpus
TO prevent his extradition to New
escape from tho Matteawan Insane
Hospital. was filed late to-day. The
appeal, technically known a. an as
signment of errors, was signed by
Holman A. Drew, Sheriff of Coos
County, who has been the custodian
Of Thaw since his arrest at Coisbrook.
Sept. Is. 1918.
Tho appeal contends that the court
erred In nine particulars-namely
In sustaining the writ of habeas cor
pus and discharging Thaw under the
extradition warrant.
In holding that Thaw was not sub
stantially charged with crime under
Article w.. Section 2. Para grauh . of
tho United States Constitution
In holding that Thaw was not q
fugitive from Justice.
In holding that the process under
which Thaw was held was not due
process of law.
In holding that the extradition war
rant Issued by Gov. Felker was ille-
gal, invalid and unwarranted.
In holding that upon the whole REQ
ord the case does not come within
tho provisions OF tho Constitution
relating TO extradition.
In not holding that Thaw was
legally In custody under the extra
dillon warrant
In not diminishing the writ of
habeas corpus and in not remandins
Thaw to the proper custody for ex-
tradition to New York. and
Because upon the whole record the
habeas corpus writ should have been
dismissed. the extradition warrant
sustained and Thaw remanded to the
proper custody for extradition to New
York.
Tho petition for writ Of habeas
corpus was granted by Judge Aldr1ch
April II. but the issuance Of the
order was withheld TO allow an ap-
peal to be taken TO the United States
Supreme Court.

Church until after o'clock for the
appearance of Rev. John Mcneil, pas :
tor OF Cookies Presbyterian Church.

sermons ever delivered from u local
pulpit. The delay was caused by the

DR.. Mcneil took as his theme Chris
tan Coustancy." and based his dis
course upon the familiar story OF Dan
lei In the lone den. He was strikingly
different from any speaker who pre-
coded him during the present series OF
great addresses. which are being given
under the auspices OF the Federation
of Mems Bible Glasses OF Richmond.
The audience WAS given keen anaiy-
sis of the subject. enlvcncd by

the sturdiest type. He talked for more
than fifty minutes.
