HARRY X. THAW
WINS FREEDOM
Judge Confirms Verdict OF Jury Declaring
Slayer of Stanford White Sane And
Orders Him Released
STATE FILES APPEAL NOTICE
For First Time Since Killing Thaw
Is Free To Go Where He Likes.
Refuses To Discuss Evelyn

New York.-For the first time since
he fired the shot that killed Stanford
White at the Madison Square Garden
more than nine years ago, Thaw is
free to go and come as he pleases.
Supreme Court Justice Hendrick, who
presided at the jury proceedings that
ended with verdict that Thaw was
sane, announced from the bench that
he had adopted the jury's verdict. The
writ committing Thaw to Matteawan
seven years ago thereupon automati-
cally became imperative.
The state lawyers appealed from
Justice Hendricks decision and Thaw
was released in $4,000 bail pending
the result of the appeal. Under the
terms of the bond he is to hold him
self amenable to the courts orders un-
til the appeal is finally decided. Mean
time he may go wherever he pleases.
What Thaw's attitude would be to-
ward Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was mat
ter of considerable speculation. To no
question, however, bearing on this
point, would he return a direct answer.
When one interviewer asked him if he
expected to see her soon, Thaw looked
at his Questioner steadily for few
moments and turned away without
word.
The Judge On The AIienists
In announcing his decision Justice
Hendrick took occasion to comment
unfavorably on the action of alienists
who had assisted the state in prepar-
ing the case and then appeared as
expert witnesses in court.
81 have reached a decision in this
case" Justice Hendrick said, "and it
is based on my own mind. fortified by
the action of the jury"
II want to say word about the
alienists," Justice Hendrick continued.
1--WE have been told by one alienist
that it is impossible to determine the
sanity or insanity of a person with
out taking the word of alienists. This
court and jury cannot depend upon the
word of an alienst who for years has
devoted himself to a case of this kind
and assisted in its preparation. That
doctor can help prepare case and
then go on the stand as an expert
witness is wrong.
Il hope the legislature of the state
will find some means to correct this
Some other methods should be adopt
ed. Gentlemen, | have adopted the
verdict of the jury. l declare now
that it is the decision of this court
that Harry X. Thaw is sane"
