THAW SAYS CASE
HAS Been SWINDLE.
Draws Petition to Congress Tor
New Law.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 21--By his
own statement, made yesterday at
ternoon to a reporter Harry 4. Thaw
has once more become private
character who hopes never, again to
become subject to public disapproval
or criticism.
In the beautiful Thaw home on
Beachwood BoIevard Thaw gave out
for publication what he says will be
his last statement to the press. This
reviews his entire case briefly and
point out way to prevent another
person from being placed in some of
the positions in which he has found
himself. q,
Routine of Life.
Thaw will take up the routine of
life today where he dropped 1t
the day he slew Stanford White, nine
years ago, but in a more sedate way,
he asserts. III
La. his statement Thaw refers to
one Of the local newspapers as being
the first in the country to awaken to
the fact that his entire case since he
was acquitted by jury, Feb.
1908, has been swindle." He then
says, in part:
N rhaw's Statement.
Judge Bowling did not seem to
have touched by evil influence. r
think my counsel was truthful when
he said that he had just been in
Judge Dowling's cham bers and the
Judge had asked that assent to go
ing to Matteawan for a month SO
public interest could pass away.
But no matter how well-intentioned
Judge Dowling's motives, the statute
under which he committed me is an
archistic. It sent citizen to a mad
house with no hearing whatever q s
to his sanity, which violates the fun
damental principles of the New York
State Constitution.
"They have also rem embered that
earlier in the same court in which
Judge Bowling sat, Judge Fitzgerald
had approved the verdict of the Nc
Clue Olney-Putzel Commission in
declaring me sane. Recently testi-
money has been sworn to that Judge
Dowling's jury. all twelve, agreed
was perfectly sane in court. Their
verdict that 1 suffered from defect
of reason at the time of the act was
given after Judge bowling had
give the benefit of any reasona bic
doubt TO that.
No Due Process of Law.
1.-THE law says that no one can be
compelled to defend himself in a
criminal court from any claim not in
the Indictment Therefore when
Judge Bowling sent me to Mattea-
wan there was no due process Of
law, and Judge Bowling will not gain
say this.

Before Morschauser.
''The next event was my habeas
corpus before Judge Morschauser. To
his great credit he wished the trial to
be by jury. but my lawyer, Mr.. Gra-
ham, was so unwise that he not only
refused to ask for Il jury but put up
somewhat rambling case. Politics
also appeared mixed in it, and Judge
Morschauser was in a difficult posi-
ton and dismissed the writ on the
testimony given by Jerome's bug doc

The next hearing was before Judge
Mills, who gave an opinion apparent

Of all concerned that none of my
counsel's alienists had seen me until

Jerome's assistants and a stenog-
rapher and asked prematurely to give
all the facts to them. Much worse,
Judge Mills stated that my mothers
evidence before him differed from
what she had testified to previously.
Had he read her testimony he would
have found her to have been abso-
lutely consistent and his accusation
against her was unfair and disgrace
full Gov. Boies, of Iowa, who is also
an ex-judge, exposed Mills mistake
at the time, so nothing more need be
said as to his decision.
THE next hearing was before Judge
Keogh, a very different character and
a most likable man. He declared
there was an improvement, but did
not go further in contradicting the
Mills decision.

decision the insanity end of the case
has been recognized as farce to use
mi1der word than fraud.
What / hope the newspapers will

last statement, I want to urge. is
that good Americans will continue to
sign the following petition and
forward the papers to the clerk of
the House Of Representatives, Wash

f'We, citizens Of the United States,

EAGLE STEALS CHILD
THREE YEARS OLD
Striking Example Shown swiss And
Anstrians that Birds Are Still
& Masters of Uncharted Heights

Geneva, Switzerland, July 31.-
Correspondence of The Associate
Press For all the progress mads by
man in his conquest of the air, cspe-
cially since the beginning of the Eu-
ropean war, the birds are still the
masters of the uncharted heights. The
Swiss and Austrian inha b1tantS on
the frontier Of the Foralbers nave
just had a striking example OF this
brought home to them.
A farm worker engaged in cuttin.
hay, on the slope If the Camp Alp.
a mountain solps 900 feet high, near
the Swiss-Austrian boundary Line,
brought his child to the field with Hasa
and placed the three and inaif-year-
old youngsi.cr under a bush while he
set about his may making.
Some two hours later he returned
to the place but could not find tho
child. He sear-ned high and low,
fearing he might have mistaken he
bush in the shade of which he had left
his offspring, but could find no trace
of the infant Beside hiinsem with
anxiety, he hurried to the nearest
village and reported the circumstan-
ces to the Police, whe sent out gen
eral alarm.
SeVeTdI tdayS idteT, some cnamols
hunters Of the district, having learned
of the loss of the child, reported that
they had seen an seagle flying over

The conclusion was reached that the
eagles burden must have been the
missing child.
