Him.
WASHINGTON Harry Ken
dali Thaw. who shot and killed STAN
ford White. will be returned to New
York from New Hampshire, his pres
ent asylum, to be tried on the charge
OF conspiracy to escape from Mattea-
wan He may or may not be recon-
mitted to the asylum. The supreme
ion that was unanimous, holds that
Thaw was not entitled to a writ Of
habeas corpus granted him by Judge
Aidrich, the federal district judge for
the district of New Hampshire and
for that reason reversed the judgment
of the lower court A mandate in the
case will be handed down in about
thirty days and until that occurs
Thaw will remain in custody in New
Hampshire unless there is some other
sensational turn to the case.
This apparently will lend Thaws re-
markable fight to keep out of the
clutches of the New York state au-
thCrities which began with his escape
from Matteawan Aug. II, 1913.
Surely Headed for Matteawan.
It is the opinion of persons who
have followed the case that Thaw will
be formally arraigned on the con-
spiracy case when he gets back into
the Jurisdiction of the New York au-
thOrities and then a lunacy commits
sion will again pass upon him. That
NAV result in his commitment to Mat.
teawan even before trial on the con-
spiracy charge. That he is headed
for Matteawan is generally conceded
Thaw's case came to the supreme
court on appeal taken by the state of
New York from the decision of Judge
AIdrich of the federal court for New
Hampshire. This judge held that
Thaw was entitled to a writ of ha-
beas corpus but remanded him to GUS
tody until the supreme court finally
passed on the case. At the time the
habeas corpus writ was granted by
Judge Aldrich Thaw was headed for
New York, the governor of New
Hampshire having honored the recui-
sition of the state of New York for
his surrender for trial on the con
spiracy case. The case was argued in
the supreme court only a week ago,
William Travers Jerome representing
New York state. The record of the
court in disposing of the case was
unusual for so important matter and
the opinion was by Justice Holmes
1t was unanimous.
Thaw Is Dumbfounded.
MANCHESTER, n. H. - Harry x
Thaw stated that he would make no
public announcement about the SUI
preme court decision until after the
arrival of PhiIander C. Knox. The
AIatteawan fugitive was dumfounded
by the decision. For the first time
Since his escape from New York he
hal nothing to give the newspapers
and absolutely refused to be seen.
Mrs. Thaw Undaunted.
L
the latest failure in the long fight she
has made for her sons liberty, Mrs.
VIM. Thaw at once began making
plans to help Harry Thaw as soon as
she learned of the latest decision Of
the supreme court Immediately upon
being informed Of the ordered extra
ditiOn OF her son, Mrs Thaw called
Manchester, n. H., where Thaw is at
present, over the long distance tele-
phone
She will attempt to encourage him
and will probably communicate at
once with the array of legal talent
that has been fighting to keep Thaw
in New Hampshire
This is End, Says Stone.
PITTSBURGH, PA. Thorough
Iy discouraged over the decision
of the supreme court of the United
States, handed down in which Harry
X. Thaw is ordered returned to New
York to be tried on conspiracy charge,
ex-Gov. VIM. A Stone, Thaw's prin-
cipal attorney, said:
