the Endorsement of the state commit

tried there at an expense Of $6,430.60
and there are fifty liquor cases pend
ing there before the district court.
The court expense in dry Richland
county was 14,O3O. so more than that
of wet Wilkin county, which count
ing the license income for WIKI coun-
ty, gives wilkin s2O7,ss1 .32 in real
money on the right side Of the ledg-
er as compared with Richland.
With grand jury every year In
prohibition county. and a total OF
forty-five criminal cases on the Janu-
airy, 1914. term calendar. It is not
wonderful that Breckenridge with its
lack of crime refused to Join the
prohibition column, but elected by
vote Of over three to one to retain
license and strict regulation. No one
has an explanation for the fact that
these actual figures do not bear out
the prohibition theory that the ga
loon causes crime, courts and paup-
era and that prohibition brings health
virtue, wealth and happiness.

FINAL BRIEF FOR
THAW Is FILED
Counsel Alleges Misuse of,extradit'on
Laws and Demands Clients
Discharge

Concord, N. H.. March 27.-Ihe n
nal brief on behalf of Harry X. Thaw
on his petition for writ of habeas
corpus and for admission to bail pen
ding a decision on the question OF ex-
tradition. was filed in the United
States district court by counsel to-
day.
The document lays stress on the
claim that the state under which
Thaw originally was committed to
the insane asylum at Matteawan, New
York Is unconstitutional and there
fore II was not crime for him to
ESCAPE from custody; that an insane
person cannot commit crime and
accordingly cannot be extradited on
a charge of committing crime; that
Thaw's sanity or insanity must be
decided before it can be determined
that there Is jurisdiction to extradite
him: and that he is not fugitive
from Justice within the meaning of
the federal constitution.
As to bail, counsel maintains that
a defendant is entitled to 1t In a mis-
demeanor case. The brief concludes;
The purpose of the state of New
York being to return Thaw to Mat
teawan, 1t Is making a misuse Of the
extradition laws to accomplish Its
end. Thaw should be discharged.

thority to secure an expert from the
