THE
CERMANSARE
USING GAS TO
KILL ENEMIES

London, April 233, Ills P. M.-Field
Marshal Sir John French, commander
in chief Of the British forces in France
and Belgium communicates the fol-
lowing under today's date:
Yesterday evening the enemy de-
veloped an attack on the French
troops on our left in the neighborhood
Of Bixschoote and Langemarck, on the
Ypres salient.
This attack was preceded by a
heavy bombardment, the enemy a:

number of appliances for the produc'
ton Of asphyxiating gas The guam.
tity produced indicates long and de-
liberate preparation for the employ
ment Of devices contrary TO the terms
of The Hague Convention to which tha
enemy subscribed.
THE false statement made by the
Germans a week ago to the effect that
we were using such gases is now ex-
planned. 1t obviously was an effort to
diminish neutral criticism in advance.
During the night the French had
to retire from the gas zone. over
whelmed by the fumes. They have
fallen back to the canal in the neigh .
borhood Of Boesinghe. Our front re-
mains intact, except on the extreme
left where the troops have had to re-
adjust their line in order to conform
with the new French line.
Two attack delivered during the
night on our trenches east OF Ypres
were repulsed. Fighting continues IN
the region north OF Ypres.
This morning one of our aviators'

completed successfully, damaged =

Careful investiga alton, nevertheless, has

Harry ThaW Will Have His
Sanity Tried Before a Jury
May Injury Merely to Aid
The Court by Their Advice

New York. April 23.-Harry *. Thaw
slayer of Stanford White, after many
attempts. has finally succeeded in brig
ing the question OF his sanity before a
jury. The application for jury trial
made by his attorneys in a writ Of
habeas corpus was granted today by
Supreme Court Justice Hendrick, who,
upon consultation with counsel, set
the trial for May i.
In announcing his decision, Justice
Eendrick made it clear that the jury
was called in TO aid the court by their
advice and that the finding of the
jury would not be binding if the court
was satisfied that it was not in ac-
cord with the evidence and with JUS
tice. The court, he said, could disre-
gard the jury's verdict and render his
own decision.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1915-04-24

OF Thaw's case and of authorities on
which TO base his decision. The moot
question he had to decide was whether
the court had power TO grant a jury
trial He found that he did, after 4
study Of authorities. and he decided to
exercise such power.
In discussing the date for the trial 1t
developed that the consensus of opinion
Of judge and counsel was that the trial
would last only about a week. John B.
Stanchfield, Of Thaw counsel. said the
matter should be settled in that time
and Justice Hendrick agreed with him.
1t was said later that there would be
no great array Of expert witnesses, such
as marked Thaws trial for murder
Thaw. it was said, would have about 10
witnesses all told, and it is expected that
the STATE will call Doctors Macdonald
and Flint, experts who have testified
previously in the Thaw case and per-
haps one or two others.
Thaw's trial on May II will be in con-
nection with the writ Of habeas corpus
received from Supreme Court Justice BIZ
jur some weeks ago. The applcaton
for this writ was based on the conten-
ton that Harry K Thaw is not insane
and that he should be freed accordingly,
whatever his condition might have been
at the time ne killed Stanford White
Mr.. stanchfeld took the state by sur
prise two weeks ago by asking that the
question of Thaw's sanity, as raised IN
the writ be tried out by jury instead
of BY the court sitting alone. This Is
a very unusual proceeding in writ OF
habeas corpus. but Justice Hendrick
held that it was proper. thus giving
Thaw the chance he has fought for Tor
wears.
