THAW GOES
INTO COURT
HEARING TO DETERMINE SANITY
OF SLAYER OF STANFORD
WHITE BEGINS.
IN POUGHKEEPSIE
Assistant ,District Attorney G1van
Attempts to 'Have Habeas Corpus
Hearrig Held in New York, But is
Overruled-Judge Will Sit in Me
tropolis to Take Testimony.
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., May 4.-Harry
K. Thaw's fight for liberty which has
been in progress almost every mo
ment since he shot down Stanford
White on the crowded Madison Square
°roof garden theater nearly two years
ago, was continued in the supreme
f court today. Twice tried for the mur
der, the second time acquitted only to
'' be sent to the Matteawan state hos
pital for the criminally insane, Thaw
now will endeavor to prove his sanity
and his right to complete freedom.
The proceedingly which began today
were based upon a writ of habeas
corpus taken out at the ,instance, of
the prisoner to procure his release
from the asylum. The wgit was issued
by Justice Morschauer at White Plains
on April 22, on application of James
G. Graham, a Newbourgh attorney. It
was made returnable before Justice
Morschauer in this city today.
Evelyn May Testify.
An interesting insight into Thaw's
matrimonial affairs, which have at
tracted much attention since his re
moval to the asylum was contained
in a statement given out by A. Russell
Peabody, one 'of Thaw's counsel, be
fore the opening of court today. Young
Mrs. Thaw, who had such a prominent
place in the two trials of her husband,
for murder, and who has begun suit'
for the annulment of her marriage to
Thaw, has not seen her husband in
more than two months. Mr. Peabody
said, however, that Mrs. Thaw has of
fered herself as a witness in her hus
band's behalf should her testimony be
necessary to obtain his freedom:. He
did not know whether it would be
necessary to call her to Poughkeepsie,
he said, but if he believed it necessary
as the case develops, she will be sum
moned.
Thaw to Take Stand.
Thaw himself undoubtedly will go
on the stand in his owi defense, Mr.
Peabody said. He declared that the
prisoner is willing to submit to any
examination the court or the district
attorney may desire as proof of his
sanity.
Thaw reached the courtroom at
10:45. He was in the custody or Amos
T. Baker, acting superintendent of the
Matteawan asylum and two attend
ants. Thaw looked rugged and well
and his appearance Indicated that he
had plenty of outdoor life at Mattea*
wan. He took a seat at the counsel
table with his attorneys and at once
entered into earnest conversation
with.Mr. Graham, who is in charge of
the habeas corpus proceedings. A
private detective sat behind Thaw and
was joined later by Roger O'Mara, the
Pittsburg detective, who helped in the
preparation of Thaw's defense. Thaw
acted nervously while waiting for
court to open.
Court Delayed in Opening
This was delayed until after 11
o'clock owing ,to. the'late, arrival of
Assistant District Attorney Garvan of
New York. In court were Warden
Flinn of the Tombs prison, New York,
and nine or ten other attaches, and
three chaplains for the same prison,
who had been summoned by Thaw to
testify as to his behavior while in
prison.
The opening of the hearing was de1
layed by a conference between 18s
trlct Attorney Mack of Duchess county
and Assistant District Attorney Gar
van of New York. Dr. Baker, the act
ing superintendent of the Matteawan
asylum, was called into the conference
at the conclusion of which Mr. Gra
ham formally filed his writ and re
ceived from District Attorney Mack,
his return writ. District Attorney
Mack then moved that the proceedings
be sent to New York county. ,
Mr. Mack said he was informed that
it would cost Duchess county $30,000
to have the proceedings tried in this
county. 'He thought it would be bad
for the taxpayers of Duchess county
if the precedent were established: that
such cases must be tried here.
Hearing May COet' $.000.
Mr. Garvan said that the trial would
involve sending commissions to Paris,
Monte Carlo .i.d other places in
rope. to obtain evideae as to Thaw'.

should be concluded under the juris
diction where it originated.
Mr. Graham opposed the motion. He
contended that the proceedings should
be tried under the statute in the judi
cial district where the habeas corpus
was made returnable.
"To spend $30,000 would be a waste
of the public money. It can be en
tirely regulated by the district attor
ney of Duchess county, as he must
audit the bills."
Justice Morschauer denied the mo
tion to transfer the hearing, but of
fered to sit in New York to hear the
people's testimony it both sides were
to consent.
Confine Thaw Ip Jall.
Mr. Graham raised the question as
to whether Thaw should be .coflined
iijring .the proceedings and the court
ordered him committed to the Duchess
county aill.
Thaw smiled with pleasure at the
announcement.
It was arranged to adjourn the pro
ceedings to Mat' 11, iroviding Mr.
Jerome can be here on that date.,
After the relators side had been
heard, Judge Moraschauer will sit in
New York to accommodate Mr. Jerome
and his witnesses. Adjournment was
then announced and Thaw was con
ducted to the jail floor of the court
house. He is in the custody of Sheriff
Robert Chanler, as the omfeer of the
court.
He will have a large room and his
meals wpl be served from a restas
rant. He can receive any visitors he
wishes to see.

WARREN CASE
IS CONTINUED
EDITOR OF'APPEAL TO REASON
TO BE TRIED NEXT TERM.
OFFER CAUSED ARREST
Noted Socialist to Be Prosecuted for
Offering Reward of $1,000. for Kid
napping of Governor Taylor by the
Kentucky Authorities.
Fort Scott, Kas., May 4.-On motion
of the government in the federal court
here today the trial of Fred D. War
ren, editor of the Appeal to Reason,
was continued until the next term of
court, which will be in November.
This is the third continuance re
quested by and granted the govern
ment.
Clarence S. Darrow of Chicago, who
was the chief counsel in the defense
of Haywood, Pettibone and Moyer of
the Western Federation of Miners, at
Boise, Idaho, appeared for Mr. War
ren.
The charge against Editor Warren
is based upon the mailing of a printed
reward of $1,000 for the kidnaping of
ex-Governor Taylor of Kentucky. The
Appeal to Reason made this sensa.
tional offer for the purpose of calling
attention to the decision of the Unit
ed States supreme court that the re
moval of the officers of the Western
Fedration of Miners from Colorado to
Idaho for trial was, not an ilegal pro
ceding. The paper's reward indicated
a desire to have ex-Governgr Taylor
kidnaped and taken from Indiana to
Kentucky, for trial for alleged com
plicity in the assassination of Gover
nor Goebel.

. ANTHONY HOPE.
Anthony Hope, whose novels are so popular with all readers Of tletlon,
had little success as a writer until he produced the "Prisoner of Zenda," where
upon-he came into immediate and lasting popularity. Mr. Hope Ikan ideal
writer of serial stories, for he is a master of the art of suspense. This never
has been more substantially verified than in his splendid s tory "Sophy o
K:ravonia." In this work he has returned to the field of romance, which made
him famous. There is such susperse between the chapters of reckless adven
ture, court intrigue, conspiracy and hairireadth escapes as to give'the story
that inexplicable charm which is the true condiment of romance.
irom Santa Orus visited the ships to
day on special invitation of Admiral
Thomas. They were taken off in a
whaleboat towed by the ships'
launches. About 200 members of the
G. A. R. from this and surrounding
cities also paid a visit to the ships
today.
The sea was very rough again dur
ing the afternoon and those on board
had difficulty in embarking in boats.
The fleet will sail for San "Fran
cisco at 3 p. m. tomorrow, arriving
off the lightship at the entrance about
9 p. m. They will anchor there until
the following morning.

court of the United States, a motion
was made today in behalf of the inter
state commerce, commission to ad
vance on the docket the cross appeals
of the commission and .' H. Harri
man and Otto H. Kahn, the latter of
the New York banking firm of Kuhn,
Loeb and company, in the cases in
which Harriman and .Ahn refused to
answer certain questions propounded
by the commission in 1906, in accord
ance with its inquiry into the alleged
consolidation and combination of rail
roads subject to the interstate com
merce law.
The questions covered a wide range
of operations and the United States
circuit court for the southern district
of New York, to which the matter
was submitted, directed the two wit
nesses to make.reply to all eqcept
those relating to the purchase of
stock by Harriman in anticipation of
the union Pacific dividend.
Neither party was satisfied with
this solution and both sides appealed
to the supreme court.
The motion to advance was made
by Frank B. Kellogg, C. A. Severance
and John H. Marble as. counsel foi
the commission. In presenting their
motion they dwelt upon its vast im
portance because of the public inter
ests involved.
