IN THE COKE BUSINESS

rrrrseree. July 2o.-Harry X. Thaw.
= , close friend Of the Thaw family to-
day made known his plans for the fu.
lure. After u good nights rest he was
IN a communicative mood and expressed
himself freely concerning his past, pres
tnt and future. Said he.
81 shall rest here at the old home 20.
0 few days with mother. Having fully
decided to visit the Panama Exposition
J shall probably leave here within the
Leyt ten days or tuo weeks for San
Francisco. Although I mad in mind
the enjoyment a motor trip across the
continent would afford. | don't think ]
will make hat journey that way.
Just when I shall return from the
Coast I cannot say. However. ! shall
POINTS OF interest. After returning to
pttsburg / shall most likely institute
a suit for divorce. On that subject I
don't care to say any more than In
necessary. but | feel sure that when the
public hears my side they will agree
that I am entitled to a decree.
MY next step will he to have the
trustee appointed for me in bankruptcy
proceedings discharged. My friend and
sdviser. Roger O'Mara. has already ad.
'ised me to do this, and as my finances
are now in splendid condition. there is
10 reason why he should act longer In
that capacity. | have no doubt that We
can convince the courts that Mr.. OMara
is no longer necessary to protect my
fortune.
After these things have been done
] have determined to enter some bust
iess. Although I nave had no extended
experience in trade pursuits l once did
considerable in the coke manufacturing
line. and better still. | made good.
Naturally, having extensive interests In
the Fayette county coke field. ! may de-
ode to make that my calling. The coke
business Is growing daily and the Thaw
interests in the Fayette field are becom-
irg more valuable each year. l could
DO much worse h devote my time 10

Thaw spent the greater part Of his
first day in his home town in renewing
old acquaintance. visiting his old home
IN Fifth street and his friend Roger
Mara. lie gave out a short statement
early this afternoon. which Is as fol-
lows:
1T is very kind in the reporters to
wish to hear from me. but l am now
settled down quietly and can only say
that ! am extremely glad to be homeland
want to express my thanks for the good
will shown. ! am now merely a private
utizen of r%ittsburg, and my movements
,.e of very little interest"
IN a long statement issued Tonight
Thaw reviewing his case he said:
Judge bowling did not seem to have
'.,a touched by evil influence. ! think
lf counsel was truthful when he said
ie had just been in Judge Dowling's
,l.mbcrs and the Judge had asked that
! assent To going To Matteawan Tor a
month 50 public interest could pass
MAY. But no matter how well inten-
tined Judge Dowling's motive the stat
tte under which he committed me Is
,narchistic. 1t sent II citizen to a mad
l0use with no hearing whatever as 10
lie sanity, which violates the fund men,
tl principle Of the New York State
Constitution.
Recently testimony has been sworn
10 that Judge Dowling's jury, all twelve
agreed | was perfe Fly sane in court
Their verdict tina | suffered from defect

given after Judge bowling had charged
them, according to law, to give the bens'

The law says no one can he com
PEELED to defend himself in n criminaI
court from any charge not in the In
dictment. Therefore when Judge BOWL
irg sent me to Matteawan there was
10 due process OF law. and Judge BOWL
