ThaW Makes Move for
Benefit of Her Son

PHILADELPHIA, April 26.-Mo-

Thaw, declared sane last Tuesday
night. by jury. was filed today by
William A. Gray, counsel for Evelyn
Nesbit, Thaw's divorced wife, in be-
half of her thirteen-year-old son,
Russell William Thaw.
Evelyn Nesbit's son had been per-
mitted to intervene in the sanity pro-
ceedings because of his antdcipatory
interest in Thaw's estate. She OPP
posed Thaw's release on the ground
that he still is insane, and she con-
tended that If released, he might dis
sipate his estate.
In addition to the request for an
other trial, counsel obtained an or
der granting him five days in which
to file specific reasons for a retrial
The petition for a second trial sets
forth the usual contentious that the
verdict of the jury was against the
evidence and the weight. of the evil
dence, and against the charge of the
court.
Thaw still is confined at the Penn
sylvania hospital for mental and
nervous diseases pending hearing on
