Attorney General to Review RECORD

ALBANY. n. Y, July 16.-Attorney
General Woodbury. will reserve de-
cision as to whether he will appeal
from the Thaw verdict until he has ex-
amined the court record in the pro-
ceedings before Justice Hendrick. This
information was made public today in
a statement from the attorney generals
office, explaining that the formal notice
of appeal was taken to prevent Thaw
leaving the jurisdiction of the court.
Edgar Bromberger Of the group of
lawyers appearing for the state, gave
notice Of appeal. At previous con-
ference of counsel in the case 1t had
been made clear that should the court
decide in Thaw's favor. the commitment
of Justice Bowling, under which Thaw
was sent to Matteawan. in 1908, after he
had been acquitted, on the grounds
insanity. of the murder of Stanford
White, would not be formally vacated.

Criticism of Alienists.

II want to say a word about the
alienists." Justice Hendrick continued.
I'VE have been told by one alienist that
it is impossible to determine the san
ity or insanity of a person without
taking the word of alienists This
court and jury cannot depend upon the
word of an alienist who for years has
devoted himself to case of this kind
and assisted in it's preparation. That
a doctor can help prepare a case and
then go on the stand as an expert wit
ness is wrong.
II hope the legislature of the state
will find some means to correct this.
Some other method should be adopted.
Gentlemen, 1 have adopted the verdict
of the jury. / declare now that it is the
decision of this court that Harry, K.
Thaw is sane.
Thaw declined to make any statement
at this time, except to say that after
the bail arrangements were completed
he was going to get his bags and then
go direct to the Pennsylvania station
in Jersey City, whence he would take
a train for Pittsburgh. The sheriff will
accompany Thaw until he is on New
Jersey soil. out of New York state.

ing to get rid of Mike. They devel-
oped about three months later, when
Mike Dohahue confronted Jim FL
lery with a pistol in his hand.
You'll marry my daughter, Kitty"
he said. you'll marry her by Satur-
day night or all the angels of heaven
won't save your miserable life"
Jim Ellery, who knew the truth
when it was presented to him, mar
ried Kathleen, who had been edu-
Gated with the last penny of her
fathers savings. She was a pretty,
discontinued girl, ashamed of her
parents; she had easily fallen a vic
tim to the young millowner.
What was most astonishing was
that Jim Ellery, having married
Kathleen Donahue, did not divorce
her Instead, he became infatuated
with his own wife. He was alto
gether under her thumb. She had the
airs and manners of lady. She was
in no way inferior to him, and if her
father was a common laborer, what
had old Ellery been? There was a
tradition that he had once swept out
stables.
No sooner was Kathleen married
than she dropped her parents. The
final interview was memorable. Mike
and Nora were in tears, Kathleen
in her new ball gown, shifted herself
uneasily from one satin shoe to the
other.
won't you never come to see us,
then, Kitty" asked Mike, unable to
realize the impending tragedy.
you are acting unfairly, father
answered the girl. 81 owe a duty to
my husband and to myself. If we let
it be known that my father works
in the mill and is an ignorant, illit-
crate old man, 1 shall have no So
cial standing in the town at all. At
present they don't know. And if you
have any affection for me"

Kathleen" answered old Mike. 3
"You won't leave the mill? You
insist on working here for $40
week to spite me?" -...-
Easy, easy, my girl! This is my
job and I'm not going to leave it to
take that scamp's money" 5
James is not scamp"
"And it seem to me, Nora, darling
that if our own girl is that bad, why
we've got to make up our minds to
lose her." said Mike to his wife.
Kathleen took herself, satin Slip
pers and all, out Of the cottage. Her
heart was bursting with shame and
also with self-condemnation. But
was she to be tied forever to that
old, ignorant laborer and his wife
she with expensive tastes?
The town was just large enough
for her story not to be widely known.
By steering her way cautiously, and
inventing a tale about an old couple
whom she had befriended, she man
aged to shake her skirts clean of her
parents. Her husband, in his rage,
threatened to put Mike out of his
Job; but the stubborn old man threat
ened to sue, and that would mean
wide publicity. So Mike remained.
And every morning he was at his
job on time. Every night he left
when the whistle went Of Sundays
he helped with the dishes, and read
the paper in bed:
This went on for years after Kath-
leen's marriage. He had never heard
of her. He had seen her once, rid
ing in her car. She was gowned like
a princess and splendidly bejeweled.
Then lawyer came to see Mike.
There had been rumors for some time
of extravaganza in the management
of the mill; it was thought things
were not going well. But everyone
knew Jim Ellery had no business

the views of the taxpayers on the

to be impossible for the company to
