prlsonment OF Thaw In Matteawan
without trying him on the conspiracy
Indictment might give rise to another
habeas corpus proceeding in the fed
cral courts.
Opinion Unanimous.
Justice Holmes announced the
courts unanimous decision today. He
first ovefruled the contention that
Il was not crime for man confined
In an insane asylum to walk out II he
could and that therefore conspir-
acy 10 do 50 was not a crime.
We do not regard IL as open TO
debate that, the withdrawal by con-
nivance of a man from an insane
asylum. to which he had been COM
mltted ss Thaw was. did tend to OBJ
struct the due administration of the
law At least the New York courts
may so decide. Therefore the indict-
ment charges crime. If there is any
remote defect In the earlier proceed
ings by which Thaw was committed.
which We are far from intimatlng.
that is not the time and place for that
question to be tried"
Question Of Sanity.
Justice Holmes said the most seri-
Gus argument for Thaw was that II
he were insane when he contrlved to
escape. he could not be guilty OF a
crime; while. II he were not insane,
he was entitled TO be discharged and
that his confinement and other facts
In the record required the supreme
court TO assume that he was insane.
''But this Is not Thaw's trial. "
commented the justice upon this line
Of argument
in extradition proceedings. even
when as here humane opportunity
Is afforded to test them upon habcas
corpus. The purpose of the writ is not
TO substitute the judgment of another
tribunal upon the facts or the law of
the matter to be tried.
Constitutional Requirement.
The constitution says nothing
about habeas corpus in this connec-
ton, but peremptorily requires that,
upon proper demand, the person
charged shall be delivered up to be re-
moved to the state having jurisdiction
OF the crime. There is no discretion
allowed, no inquiry into motive.
"The technical sufficiency Of the in
dictment is not open. And, even II 1t
be true. that the argument stated Of
fers a nice question. IL is a question as
to the law of New York, which the
New York courts must decide.
Claims OF Insanity.
"The statute that declares an act
done by lunatic not a crime, adds
that a person Is not excused from
criminal liability, except upon proof
that at the time he was laboring un-
der such defect of reason as CD not
to know the nature and quality OF the
act he was doing; or CD not to know
that the act was wrong.
When. as here. the identity OF the
person. the fact that he is fugitive
from justice. the demand in due
form. the indictment by a grand jury
for what the governor OF New YORK
alleges. to be crime. in that state,
and the reasonable possibility that II
may be such all appear, the constitu-
tionally required surrender is not to
be interfered with by the summary
process of habeas corpus. upon specu-
lations as to what ought to be the re-
suits of trial in the place where the
constitution provides for its taking
place.
I'VE regard 1t as too clear Tor
lengthy discussion that Thaw should
be delivered up at once.

for Mr.. Cockraus retirement from

have been heard to cite him as a
striking example of man who mas

with the leaders and policies of the
Democratic party, whose fortunes ne
had followed since he east his first
vote
But the intimate friends Of Mr.
Cochran know that the real reason for
his retirement was the state of his
health. More than ten years ago his
health began To fail and though no
remained i'm Congress until i've years
ago and continued To take a more or
less prominent part in the councils IF
the Democratic party IL was evident
that he was rapidly losing his old

became evident that order could not
be maintained, contentment prevail,
and permanent force kept unless tho

vided with family quarters within ten
months after arrival on the Isthmus.
Not only all the married men immedi-
ately applied for quarters. but nearly
