Newport News, Va, March 15.-Five
British cruisers and possibly more are
lurking off the Virginia capes to sink
the German auxiliary cruiser Priuz
Eitel Friedrich when she leaves port.
Washington, March 15.-With the
testimony of Captain Kiehne, Of the
American ship William P. Frye, the
inquiry into the sinking Of the ship by
the German raider Prinz Eitel Fried
rich, directed by President Wilson,
was brought to an end. 1t was stated
no further testimony would be taken
unless developments in the case dis
close some new evidence.
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Peters hurried back from New York
to be on hand to receive the captain
Of the Frye, who was summoned from
Newport News to tell the story. under

President to Go Over Facts.
1t was the belief in administration
circles that President Wilson would
take time carefully to go over the
facts developed by his investigators.
No diplomatic steps will be taken, 1t
was stated, until this has been done
and the chief executive has the full
case before him.
Meanwhile the probable attitude Of
Germany in the matter is giving the
diplomats here topic for discussion.
They have reached the conclusion in
advance of any official Information on
the subject that Germany promptly
will make amends for the action Of
the captain of the Prinz Eitel and II
Is not believed the case will present
any complications. This belief has

Berlin stating the sinking Of the Frye
was viewed there as unwarranted.
Keeps Lid Down.
The administration still kept down
the lid on. the report as to the time
needed for repairs to the Prinz Eitel
and It was intimated no announcement
of this will be made officially. This
course was followed in the case of the
German gunboat Geier at Honolulu
II is argued that to announce the
exact time would aid the warships
waiting outside the capes and deprive
the Eitel Friedrich of a fair chance
to escape. The belief In administra'
ton circles still prevailed, however,
that the raider would be interned.

JURY ACQU|Ts
HARRY K. THAW
Slayer Of Stanford White Found
Not Guilty on Conspir-
aCy Charge.
TAKES ACQUI1TAL CALMLY
Is Remanded to the Tombs Pending
the Courts Decision In a Motion
That He Be Returned to
New Hampshire.

New York, March 15.-Harry X.
Thaw was found not guilty Of the
charge of conspiracy in connection
with his escape from Matteawan asy-
lum. His four co.defendants, who
aided in his escape, were also acquit-
ted, and were discharged. Thaw was
sent to the Tombs pending the deci'
sion in a motion made by his council,
Morgan J. O'Brien, Jr., that be be re-
turned to New Hampshire, from
where he was extradited for the con.
spiracy trial.
When the verdict was announced
persons in the courtroom and corrl-
dors broke into cheers.
Never Even Smiled.
Thaw took his acquittal very calm
ly. He did not smile, nor glance
toward his anxious mother and sis.
ter. While Deputy Attorney General
Cook was asking Justice Page to
hand Thaw over to the Matteawan
guards who were waiting, Thaw did
not appear the least nervous.
When he was remanded to the
Tombs he turned at once and pre-.
ceded his guard toward the sheriffs
office, where he was allowed to see
his mother.
Thaw's motion to be returned to
New Hampshire is based on the ex-
pressed ruling of the United States
Supreme court that he could be ex.
tradited to New York only to answer
criminal charge.
The demeanor of the four co-defen.
dants. Butler, Thompson. Duffy and
Flood, was in great contrast to that
Of Thaw. When they heard the ver-
dict they smiled broadly, and when
they were dlschergad th s,Bf@ost.ran
from the room, laughing as they went.
Outside. they were received by a
crowd Of iubilant friends, who escort.
ed them from the building.
On Road to Freedom.
The belief was expressed by Nor.
gan ]. 0'Brien, Jr., Of Thaw's counsel,
that the famous prisoner is now on
the road to freedom, outside New
York state. He said the defense be.
lieyes Justice Page cannot but grant
the motion to return Thaw to New
Hampshire, in view of the ruling Of
the United States Supreme court.
He pointed out that New York has
failed to hold Thaw on the conspiracy
charge and under the order of the
Supreme court cannot get possession
of Thaw on any other ground, because
the highest court held Thaw could
not be extradited because Of insanity
