Is Argued and a Decision by the.
Court is Expected to Be
Made Next Week.
" AssoeIATEa PREss,


NEW YORK. Mar q Two justices
of the appellate division of the SUI
preme court agreed Friday that there
was a doubt in their minds whether
the state cf New York was within its
rights in .:pouncing' upon Harry X.
ThaW after his acquittal here on the
conspiracy charge on which he was
extradited from New Hampshire and
returning him 10 the state hospital
for thescriminal insane at Matteawan.
They interrupted Franklin Kennedy,
special deputy attorney general, who
was arguing that even though Thaw
had been acquitted Of conspiracy TO
escape from Matteawan, he was now
within New York jurisdiction and that
as the original commitment on which
he was sent to Matteawan was still
valid, he should be returned there. q
Justice Ingraham remarked that
there was no question Of the legality
OF the commitment and that the only
question at issue was whether the
state had right to return Thaw to
Matteawan without first permitting
his safe passage to New Hampshire.
Upon the conclusion OF the argu-
ments decision was reserved. Tt was
considered probable by attorneys
connected with the case that the de-
cision might be handed down next

The charge that false and fraudulent
statements as to the curative effect
OF the product had been made arose
from the fact that the drug and the
packages and labels with it contained
a statement that the drug was "a mild,
sweet medicated vine, an excellent.
remedy for children in cases Of
diarrhea, dysentery. indigestion. and
Vomiting. which would lead the pur-
chaser to believe that the drug was a
