Thompson a COnspiratOr

"Under the commitment originally signed by Justice Bowling Thaw could have been taken back to Matteawan had he been apprehended anywhere within the boundaries of the state. The partic- ipants in a conspiracy should be consid- cred guilty if they aided the defendant Thaw, out of the state in an illegal man ner. It was true there was nothing to show that the defendant Thompson played any part in a conspiracy up to the time they stopped on the road to Connecticut. However, Thompson can be considered a member of the conspiracy if he entered it at any time prior to the crossing of the state line.
 You gentlemen may bring in gen. eral verdict for some and against others. The question of sanity is an issue in this case only insofar as Thaw may have been shown to have the capacity to in- tend to do the acts charged gainst him.

General Cook, Justice Page then modi- led slightly charge he had made dur ing the afternoon instructing the jury to acquit Thaw if they found thIt he had an honest misconception of his rights at the time of his escape. This charge was so modified as to read that the jury was to take such a miscon- ception, if it existed, into consideration as bearing on the question of intent.
 The jury then again retired to it's room.
 An hour after the jury retired no word had come from the jury room Meanwhile Thaw sat in the sheriffs of hce talking with his mother, his sister, Mrs. George l.. Carnegie, and his half brother Josiah Thaw

Attendants in Court


 Two attendants from the Matteawan hospital were in court this afternoon. It was said in the courtroom that no matter what the verdict of the jury, Thaw would be rushed to Matteawan in an automobile by these two attendants immediately after some decision had been reached or a disagreement reported.
 Thaw's attorneys stated, however, that writ Of habeaS corpus Was awaiting she signature of a supreme court justice. They said they planned to have the writ signed immediately on the return of the jury with a verdict or disagreement. The writ, is was said, would serve to keep Thaw within the jurisdiction of the courts of this county. If 'haw were taken back to Matteawan he would be under the Jurisdiction of the courts of Westchester county, another judicial dis trict.
 Mr Stanchfied began by sketching Thaws record in the courts. Then he laid | emphasis upon the contention that Thav never saw the defendants before he es- l caped, and that the grand jury ol Duchess county, wherein is located Mat i teawan. had refused to return any indict- ments against the defendant l MT. Stanchfield argued that no crime had been committed and that therefore l the defendants could not be held respon- | sibe for the escape. He asked the jury to determine whether they did not believe Thaw had been punished enough There was a provision of law, he said, providing l that the jury could bring a verdict say ing whether Thaw was sane or not Philip Carpenter personal attorney fol the defendant Thompson, told the jury Thompson should be freed of the charge as he was in ignorance of any conspiracy, if one existed.
 Abraham Levy for the three other CO., de. fendants, delivered an address on their behalf He contended his clients had committed no crime.
 Frank K. Cook deputy attorney gen. eral, began his closing address for the state by saying that neither he nor Mir Kennedy were here to persecute or hound Harry K. Thaw.'
 "It is our contention" said Mir. Cook that Thaw was insane when he went to Matteawan. and when he escaped, and we believe him insane now. He was sane enough. however. the evidence shows to
 know that he was committing a crime and had an intention to do so. There are 40 insane persons in Matteawan who have committed homicides. Are we to allow them to walk out? They probably would if they had s7OO0 and Butler was around outside"
 When MT Cook concluded Judge Page began his charge.
 The jurymen returned to their room from dinner half hour before the ap- pointed time. At 9:3O the foreman sent out word that the jury desired to ask a few questions of the court Thaw was brought to the courtroom. and few newspaper men were ad- mitted
 The jury wanted to hear that part of | the charge which related to Thaw's in- tentions at the time he escaped and also the part that had to do with Justice Dowling's commitment and what bear i ing the commitment had upon Thaw's status at the time he was fleeing out of the state. These parts of the charge were read. | Upon the request of Deputy Attorney

 John B. Stanchfield objected and took exception to that part of the charge in which Justice Page said that sanity was not an issue.
 Judge Page then delivered several charges requested by counsel for both sides.
 The jury retired at 5:29 o'clock and re- mained in deliberation for about an hour and a quarter. As no verdict had been reached, Justice Page leclar a recess until o'clock and the jury was taken cut of the building for dinner. After dinner the jury resumed it's delibera- tions

folds bearing the marks of conflicts
in three wars. the battle flag of Gen
Andrew Jackson is to be restored t.
New Orleans, where it was made by
the women of that city four years
before Illinois was admitted to the
Union.
For fifty years the flag has been
in the Illinois Memorial Hall in the
state house, where it was placed af-
ter the fall of Richmond and the
| surrender of Lee. 1T is over 100
years old. By unanimous vote both
branches of the Illinois legislature
agreed to its return.
The flag was catured by the
eighth Illinois cavalry in an engage
ment in Tennessee. 1t had been car
ried by Louisiana regiment in the
Mexican war. and prior to that was
carried by the command of Andrew
Jackson at the battle Of New Orleans
IN the war of 1912. 1t has been re-
sarded as one of the most notable
relics in Memorial Hall.
Ut was a veretran of the civil war,
Representative Thomas Campbell of
Rock Island, who lost leg at Vicks-
burg and who participated in the
battle in which the Illinois cavalry
captured the flag was the one to in
troduce the bill to return 1t to
Louisiana. 1t will be one of the at
fractions at New Orleans this sum-
mer, when the one hundredth ami

flag was given its baptism of fire

send the old flag back. Mrs. Alice

dent of the organization, was untir-
ing in her efforts in behalf of the
bill.
