THAW'S CASE BEFORE
THE SUPREME COURT
Fugitive Cannot Be Extradited
Reviewed.

WASHINGTON. Dee. 1.-THE ex-
tradition of Harry X. Thaw from New
Hampshire TO New York was up for
consideration today by the supreme
court. The argument of counsel for
Thaw and for the state of New York
today marked the final steps in the le
gal fight which has been waged over
Thaw ever since he walked ont of the
gates of Matteawan in Aug, 1913, -eS-
capped to Canada and finally came IN
to the custody of an official in New
Hampshire for eXtradictiOn to New
York to answer TO indictment for con
spracy to escape from the Mattea-
wan insane asylum. The court was to
review the action Of Judge Aldrich
that Thaw could not be extradited
The murder of Stanford White by
rhaw, as result of which the latter
was sent 70 Matteawan, was mentioned
only incidentally in the ease.
William Travers Jerome began the
argument for New York state He de-
clarcd he had always been under the
impression that only four questions
wcrc open for consideration in eXtradi-
ton: First, the identity of the pl.is.
oner, not now in question; second, the
form Of demand; third, whether the
prisoner was fugitive from Justice
as question OF act, and the fourth
question was whether within the mean
ing of the constitution Thaw was
charged with crime in New York.
eve contend that conspiracy to
escape from an insane asylum is a con
spiracy to obstruct iustice'' he de-
clared. During his argument he said
he never had contended that New
York was seeking custody Of ThaW
as an insane person.
Franklin Kennedy, deputy attorney
general of New York, addressed the
court, defining the constitutionality Of
the insanity act under which Thaw was
committed to Matteawan.

FOUR INDICTMENTS
FOR MANSLAUGHTER
legged to Have Sold Deadly Liquor,
to Take Place Soon.

MIDDLEBURY, Dec. 11.-As the result
OF 13 deaths five weeks ago at Bristol
caused, it is alleged, by the victims drink
ing poisonous liquor, a special grand jury,
which convened here Tuesday, yesterday
afternoon at > o'clock returned four in
dietments against Don A. Bisbee, charging
manslaughter, and two indictments for
selling liquor illegally.
BlShee, who conducted a store at Bristol
ostcnsiby for the sale of drugs, has been
in the Addison county Jail since early in
November, awaiting action by the authori-
ties.
It. is expected that the trial of Bisbee
will begin this month as the petit jury,
which has been excused, has been ordered
to report on Dec. u.
Soon after Bisbee was brought to the
county jail here he secured as counsel
Jasper G. Page OF Bristol and recently it
was announced that the former attorney
general, RUFUS l.. Brown OF Burlington,
will also be associated with Mr. Page
states Attorney Frank W. Tuttle OF
Nergennes and Attorney General Herbert
G. Barber OF Brattleboro will represent
the state.
At the time Bisbee was taken into Gus
todv he declared that he had purchased
lI'iil Il IlbN, ~ =. urn NHdb ne sup
posed was cologne spirits and which he
sold TO his customers as such. 1t was
stated, soon after the victims of drinking
the stuff began to die, that the beverage
was wood alcohol
Feeling has run high against Bisbee in
| Bristol and it was generally conceded that
the authorities acted wisely in hurrying
the man out of town and into the county
| Jail Immediately following the discovery
that liquor, alleged to have been procured
at his store, was the cause of several
deaths
Bisbec, in a statement published few
| days following the tragedy in Bristol,
claimed that mistake must have been made
| by the concern with which he dealt in
| Troy, and that something poisonous in
stead of cologne spirits must have been
shipped by mistake.
! AT the time of his arrest Bisbee made
no attempt to conceal the fact that he
was engaged in the illegal sale OF liquor in
| Bristol and went far as to state that
| he had purchased many thousands of dol
lars worth of liquors from the Troy firm
| 1t is believed that Bisbee's trial, prob
| ably on the manslaughter charges, will be
finished before Christmas. 1t Is alleged in
| Bristol that over 81 persons drank some
