Mrs. Thaw, Mother of De- fendant, Extends Her
 Thanks to Jurors.
EXPECT ORDER OF
 RELEASE ON FRIDAY
Believed That Arguments Today Will Be Followed by Aappeal of State, and That Thaw Will Be Released
 on Bond of $4O,0OO.

New York, July 14.-Harry K. Thaw today was declared sane
 The jury called to advise Supreme Court Justice Hendrick on Thaw's present mental condition, after 45 minutes deliberation, unanimously agreed that Thaw is entitled to re- storation to liberty and citizenship. The verdict was rendered at 3: 45 o'clock this afternoon, and was fol- lowed by a big popular demonstra- ton in favor of Thaw, outside the courthouse.
 It was the concensus of opinion among the jurors that Thaw never was insane.
 Justice Hendrick immediately re- manded Thaw into the custody of a deputy sheriff, and will tomorrow hear arguments on motion to va cate the order committing him to Mat teawan. Decision on this argument will probably be announced Friday morning. It is generally believed the justice will free Thaw.
 On the presumption that Justice Hendrick will be guided by the unani- nous view of the twelve men he sum- moned to advise him, it was learned tonight that Attorney-General Wood burn will take an appeal in behalf of the state, pending the result Of which Thaw will be released on ball.
 Bail to the amount of $40,000' is ready for Thaw, the sum having been agreed upon as satisfactory in the circumstances, and by Friday night Thaw confidently expects to be on his way to Pittsburgh. his home.
 Thaw heard the verdict, which brings an end to the ceaseless strug- gles of nine years, without the slight est trace of emotion. So did Mrs. Wm. Thaw, his mother, who has de- voted fortune and love every hour of those nine years to the fight for her sons freedom-frst from the electric chair and later from the madhouse.
 It was not until after court had been adjourned and both mother and son had shaken honds with the ju- TOTS and thanked them for the verdict. that Harry. throwing his arms about hsi mothers neck, held her in a long and silent embrace.
 T expected the verdict" he said. smilingly. "It was for the right to have jury pass upon my sanity that I have contended ever since my com mitment to Matteawan. When that right was awarded me. never had a doubt as to the result"
 Trials Cost $2,OOO, 900.
 With the vindfcation of Thaw's sanity assured by the verdict of the jury, Mrs. Thaw's battle for her son represents a total expenditure of al- most $2.O0O,OOO. The two murder trials cost the Thaws round mil lion, and, in addition. $35o,ooo has been spent in the subsequent pro- ccedings to have the ban of insanity lifted. The estimated cost to the state for the Thaw litigation has been $41S.OO0

In Addition, Capture 297 Officers, According to
 Petrograd Reports.
VON HINDENBERG IS
 PLANNING BIG COUP
Hint That Field Marshal Proposes Move That "May Shortly Decide War'' Contained in Dispatch from
 Amsterdam, Berlin Inspired.

London, July 14.-Renewed activity on the most northerly portions of the eastern front is taken here to fore ca'st an early renewal of the desperate fighting in the south, (Which halted week ago.
 The Germans have shown the first sign of a resumed offensivc by at- tacking violently in the Prgasnysis district, between the Lidynia and the Orzyc, and before Ossiwicz, where heavy guns are being brought up, ca ccrding to dispatches from Perograd.
 While there has been no change of the front in the south except that the Russians have withdrawn further north of Krasnik to moro formidable positions, the fighting has been of great violence as is evidenced by the official claims of the Petrograd war office tonight that 297 officers and 22,464 men have been taken prisoners during the last week.
 Hindenburg Plans Coup.
 (Petrograd military experts con- fess themselves mystified at the con- tinued Hull in this theatre and several give voice to their suspicious that yon Mackenzen, the shifting of his army completed and his military sup plies replinished, is planning an un- excepted coup. The most significant hint in the opinion of crtiscs here that has leaked through the censor sorship is an Amsterdam dispatch which says:
 According to advices received here, Field Marshal von Hindenburg is engaging in the preparation of something that will surprise the world and may shortly decide the war"
 There is little doubt here that this dispatch had inspil-a tion in Berlin. It hints of two possible moves, the success of either of which might prove calamitous to the Russians.
 For weeks little has been heard of von Hindenberg's activities in Cour- land except that he had heen heavily reinforced, his army. now being esti- mated at more than seven corps. The Amsterdam dispatch is believed to indicate either a sudden swOop south ward by this great force working in unison with a new drive by von Mackenzen, from the, south, cutting off Warsaw and thre atening the Rus sian central camps at Brest-Litovsk. or a sensational thrust at Riga. the Russian naval bases, working in CO., operation with vessels of the German fleet. From Riga blow at Petro- grad itself would be possible, the Russians having but scattered band: of troops in this section.
