THAW'S CASE LIKELY
TO END TONIGHT
If Thaw is Released His Attorneys Will
Try to Start Proceedings to Have
His Sanity Tested.

New York, March I2.--As result Of
Justice Pages ruling excluding the is
sue of Harry X. Thaw's mental condi-
tion from consideration in his trial for
conspiracy in escaping Natteawan, it
was considered possible that the taking
OF evidence might be concluded to-day,
and the verdict returned tonight.
| Counsel for Thaw is said to be pre-.
pared for quick action ii verdict is
returned releasing Thaw from the GUS
tody of New York county. II is un-
derstood they would ask for another
writ OF habeas corpus, nnder which they
might again secure the test OF his sani-
! ty. Although a representative of the
state had announced that, if released
Thaw would Immediately be put in
charge of Matteawan attendants, Thaw's
counsel is sure writ could be obtained
before Thaw is taken out of the juris-
dction OF the county.
The defense rested its case this morn.
ing, after calling several character wit
nesses for Roger Thompson.
Thaw on tile witness stand told the
complete story OF his escape from the
state hospital for the criminal insane
at Matteawan. Primarily, his attorneys
said, he desired TO tell his story in such
a manner as to convey to the jury, which
is trying him and his co-defendants on
an Indictment charging conspiracy, the
idea that he had recovered his reason,
He wanted also to take all the blame for
the escape.
He testified that the men the state al
leges conspircd with him were not ac-
tually conspirators but men be had em
ployed to assist him out of the state
after be himself had effected his es-
cape. He said he paid them $4,000 for
their services, and that he gave Roger
Thompson, who accompanied him TO Cam
ada, "a present Of 81 000' The witness
declared he thought he had legal right
TO flee from the hospital as he believed
himself sane. and that had he remained
there his reason would ultimately have
been dethroncd.
Thaw told his story after his att0r
neys had made vain attempts 20 get
into the record the testimony Of half a
dozen alienists and more than score
Of laymen who, before and since his cs
cape, have had opportunity to observe

CABINET AGAIN
DISCUSSES RETALIATION:
DELAYS PROCLAMATION

LONDON, Feb. "a. - The cabinet

any announcement as To the retalia-

peril to neutral shipping may further
delay the expected proclamation de-
claring an embargo upon food and

intimated that Germany had carried
her submarine war too far TO permit
