HARRY X. THAW IS
ADJUDGED LUNATIC
Will Be Put Into PENNSYLVANIA Asy-
lum, Not Carried to New
York.

Philadelphia, March 12-Harry X.
Thaw as today adjudged lunatic
by the common pleas court of this
city and under the law can not be
taken to New York on requisition to
stand trial on charges af assaulting
Kansas City high school boy. Thaw
will be kept in st. Mary's Hospital
here pending his removal to Penn
sylvania asylum.
The courts action was based on the
report presented today by a lunacy
comlssion which yesterday took the
testimony of Thaw and his mother.
Statement by Thaw Counsel.
James Gay Gordon, counsel for
Mrs. Thaw, on whose behalf the lun-
acy commission was begun, made this
statement:
"The inquisition which met yester-
day and heard the case of Harry X.
Thaw, adjudged him to be lunatic,
and the finding was today filed in the
court of common pleas.
"Judge Martin made the usual ap-
propriate order touching his person
and estate. Thaw is now in the Gus
tody of the sovereignty of the State
of Pennsylvania, represented by it's
court of chancery, and under the con-
troll and protection of the cou and
laws of the commonwealth. This
necessarily settles the question of
his cXtradition and rings down the
curtain on that proceeding. Mrs.
Thaw and her family all desire, if
possible, that the matter may be
dropped for public exploitation. Thaw
is now safe from harm to himself
and others and the court will hold
control and guard him. Anything
with respect to him hereafter can
only be done with the sanction of
the court"
