JURY TRIAL FOR THAW
is NOT YET ASSURED
Attorney General to Appeal From
Order Issued by JUS
tice Hendrick.

NEW YORK. April 24-Harry K.
Thaw. who went to sleep in the Tombs
prison last night elated by his belief
that he had won his long fight for a
jury trial to test his sanity. awoke to-
day to learn that he must await a de-
cision Of the appellate division of the
supreme court before such hearing
would be granted.
This new check in his attempt
legally to obtain his freedom from the
Matteawan asylum to which Justice
Page had ordered him returned was
due to the announcement by Attorney
General Woodbury. that the state
would make application to the appel
late court division for a writ Of pro-
hibition against the order for a Jury
trial granted yesterday by Justice Hen
drick.
Mr.. Woodburys decision was made
public after Thaw had retired for the
night The attorney general contends
that Justice Hendricks does not possess
power to grant a jury trial on the
writ of habeas corpus obtained by
Thaw. The hearing before a jury had
been set for May II. but 1t was consid
cred likely that 1t would be postponed
by the states appeal.
