HARRY STILL BEST SHOW SINCE
NERO BURNED ROME
New York, July 17.-Cheered by
the noVeIty-loving public that nine
years ago were demanding the death
sentence for him. Harry K. Thaw,
slayer of Stanford White, celebrated
his freedom from the insanity charge
that was his defense at the time OF
his trial in truly theatrical style. AS
the crowds cheered him on lower
Broadway, through which he mo-
tored to the Cortlandt street ferry,
Thaw stopped the car that he might
rise and bow, and pose for news
paper men.
At Newark there was another
crowd of from 800 to 1000 when
Thaw stopped to dine at cafe. Doz-
ems jammed around his table to have
him write his autograph on cards
and pieces of paper.
Virtually Thaw is as free as before
he shot and killed White, but tech
nicaIy he is out on $35, 900 bail, pend
ing an appeal by New York state
from the decision of Supreme Court
Justice Hendrick. He arrived in At
Iantic City late last night and is
stopping at the Hotel Dennis.
Pittsburgh, Pa--Mrs. Mary Copley
Thaw, mother of Harry K. ThaW, ad-
mitted she has received no word from
her son when he expects to be home,
but she said it did not worry her as
he is now. free to come and go as he
pleases.
