Almost endless litigation seemed
to be in sight as the result of the
verdict. The words OF acun.ttal had
scarcely died on Foreman liailcy's
lips when Deputy Attorney General
Cook moved To have Ttaw rccOinnit-
ted to Mattcawan. This wa" opposed
by John Is. Stanclfield. chief of
Thaw's counsel. on the ground that
the court already had under advise
ment q motion to return Thaw to
New Hampshire. whence he came to
answer the conspiracy charge. The
motion was renewed and Supreme
Court Justice Page set Monday for
argumcnt thereon.
In the meantime Thaw occupies his
old cell in Tombs prison, the cell in
which he was locked during the
months from the night he shot and
killed Stanford White. nearly nine
years ago. to his remoya. to Mattea-

verdict was reached quickly after
the reading OF that portion Of Thaw's
testimony which concerned his in
tent in escaping from Matteawan--
as to whether he intended to commit
crimc-and his own views as to his
sanity.
The closing proceedings of court
were ealivencd by personal en-
counter between John Lanyon. II prl-
