Harry Thaw will give himself up or
be arrested in Pittsburgh was virtual

from Matteawan to Canada, with
posses in trains, automobiles and on
foot at his heels, may again be
staged. ,
Adjucjged sane and freed after a
long and bitter fight from the official
net that had bound him since night
he shot Stanford White to death,
Thaw again is a fugitive by his own
actions. He faces prospect of fight
ing his return to Matteawan as an
insane patient when he is caught.
Warning that "Thaw may commit
another homicide" ws issued to the
public today by Evelyn Nesblt, for
mer wife of Harry Thaw, now Mrs.
Jack Clifford.
"He is a dangerous man to be at
large," said Evelyn, "and he should
be confined at once for the safety of '
the public."
