Offer $r00 Hrwanl.
A reward of $r.0n has been offered
by Ir. Kieb fr Thaw's apprehension.
Thaw's former counsel and officials
of the state hospital commission ex
pressed the opinion that Thaw would
be a fret- man oner outside the state's
boundaries. They though he could
not lie brought back to Xew York by
extradition unless he were legally ad
judged insane in the state to which lie
lied.
Mrs. Mar.y Copely Thaw, the fugi
tive's aged mother, manifested delight
;.t his escape. Mrs. Hvelyn Nesbit
Thaw, playing at a Xew York the

said she feared that he would attempt
to execute his threat to kill her. Po
lice and detectives guard her.
Attendant Locked Vp.
Howard II. liarnum, the asylum at
tendant who witnessed the escape,
was locked up in the county jail on a
charge of aiding ami abetting Thaw
ill his escape.
Vilam T. Jerome, the former'tlis
trii t attorney of New York who has
thwarted all Thaw's leal attempts to
Kain freedom, refused to express his
opinion as to whether Thaw could be
brought back to New York when
found. IMst. Atty. Whitman of New
York likewise declined to Kive his
views.
The mixnp in Albany over the gov
ernorship is regarded as favorable to
Thaw.., prospects of remaining lns
out of the state even if he be appre
hended and extradition papers issued
lor his return. Martin H. (Ilynn as
actinic governor directed by telegraph

MATTKAWAX, X. Y., Au?r. 1.
Harry K. Thaw, the slayer of Stanford
White, escaped from the hospital for
the criminal insane here at 7:43 Sun
day mornintr. A dart for liberty
through an open cate, a dash into ihe
open door of a powerful automobile
that stood quivering outside, and a
f.icht like a rocket for the Connecticut
state line, .'JO miles away, aocomplish
cd his escape.
Sunday night he was still at large
and tiie hospital authorities felt cer
tain lie was outside the state. Once
beyond its boundaries. Thaw is free.
(July months, perhaps years, of liti
gation can bring him back to Mat
teawan and then only in one event -that
he be adjudged insare in tiie
state to which he has lied.
Five confederates manned the car
in which Thaw escaped and a big
blaek limousine which trailed it past,
tiie asylum gate. The police have
their descriptions and the names un
der which they registered at a local
hotel Friday night and are seeking
them.
Off to I Europe.
The. hospital authorities believe
Thaw has iled to the shore of Fong
Island sound and boarded a yacnt
waiting with steam up to rush him
to Europe.
A reward of $500 for Thaw's ap
prehension has been offered by Dr. K.
F. C. Kieb, superintendent of the asy
lum. Howard H. Harnum, tho attend
ant at tiie gate, past whom Thaw
Hashed in his break for freedom, is
under arrest and. other arrests are ex
pected to follow in the rigid investi
gation begun by Dr. Kieb.
The shades were drawn in the dor
mitories and the inmates were getting
their second sleep when Thaw left his
room this morning. He was fully
dressed. Tho milk man's cart was
rumbling in the road outside as he
v:j1W-i1 thrnnL'h the .stnrc room .and
into the outer court yard of the asy- J
lum grounds. F.arnum, sole attend
ant at the road gate, was pacing back
and forth when Thaw closed the store
room door behind him, and apparently
did not grasp the. signiiicance of
Thaw's early rising.
Long years of residence at the asy
lum and repeated declarations by
Thaw that he would never attempt to
1 obtain his freedom except by legal
means, had established the madman's
status as a 'trusty."
There was little out of the ordinary
in his appearance, even at so early
an hour, in the court yard, and if
Barnum saw him as to this no one
save the hospital authorities, could
say Sunday night and they refused
to talk ho raided no question.
Powerful Car Fsod.
A six-cylinder touring car. black,
and HO horsepower, followed by a
limousine, also black, loafed lazily
along the road, as the milkman drew j
near the gate. Thaw, standjng a few
feet away, apparently unconcerned,
waited till F.arnum unlocked the gate!
and swung it wide to let the milk man j
enter. At the same moment the two t
cars drew up on the further side of
the road, opposite the gate and stood
still, their engines throbbing.
As ikirnum stepped aside for the
milkman to drive inside the grounds,
he heard the gravel crunch beneath
Thaw's feet and, looking up. saw the
madman Hash past him straight for
one of the waiting cars. With a shout
Barnum started in pursuit but a Hying
b ap landed Thaw safe within the car.
The great wheels were slowly turning
before the keeper hao fairly readied
the roadway. They were throwing up
a cloud of dust before he had gone
L.T. feet.
Down the roadway the cars sped
in a whirling cloud of dust that quick
ly blotted them from sUht. For a
moment Barnum shaded his eyes
with his hand and watched them;
then, with the first great blot on his
career of 120 years as keeper. lie
dashed madly back into the ground
anil locked tho gate.
Marvel at Shhm1.
"Thaw's gone scaped!" he shout
ed, bursting into Dr. Kieb's presence.
And in a moment the hunt was on.
The treat black car flashed like a
thunderbolt through S'tormville, ten
miles east of Matteawan. alone the
road to the Connecticut line. Far'.y
ri.-ers In the lattle hamlet saw three
men and Thaw crouching low to
escape the sweep of their rush through
the air. They were going To miles
an hour. They were ten minutes out
of Matteawan.
Stormville marvelled at their speed
and watched them melt away in .the
dust of the state road. The limousin.
had been left behind. At the speed
which the ldaek car traveleed through
Stormville he should have reached the
state line within half an hour.

HOT
FAMOUS ENGINE
TO BE MONUMENT
"General," Which Played a
Prominent Part in Civil War,
to be Stationed at Chatta
nooga Union Depot.
The famous engine, "General,"
wh.ch played such an important part
in the civil war, has been sent to
Chattanooga by the Nashville, Chat
tanooga & st. Louis railway and given
a prominent place in the union depot,
where it will remain as a permanent
monument to American ,alor.
On the morning of April 1, lSfi2,
Capt. V. A. Fuller lef: Atlanta in
charge of the passenger train on the
W. & A. railroad. When he reached
Marietta a a arty of strangers, dress
ed in citiitti clothes, boarded the
train and pid their fares to different
points. T?.ey claimed to be refugees
from tho Yankee lines joining tiie
Confederate army, but were disguised
soldiers, volunteers front Sill's bri
gade, Mitchell's corps, U. S. A., com
manded by James J. Andrews.
At Fig Shanty the train stopped for
breakfast, and most of the passengers
and train crew left the train. The
passengers had taken their seats at
the table, Capt. Fuller facing the
train. He saw through the window
some strangers get on the engine in
an excited manner and start oft
rapidly. He remarked to his engin
eer, Jeff Cain, and Anthony Murphy,
then foreman of the W. & A. shops,
that "someone who has no right to
do so has gone off with our train."
All three arose and hurried out to the
, house just as the engine passed out
of sight.
Capt. Fuller. Murphy and Cain com
menced pursuit on foot. They soon
secured a handcar, and in spite of the
obstructions placed on the track by
the raiders, made rapid progress. At
Ftowah they found the engine "Yo
nah," and the pursuit then was at
such a rapid pace that serious damage
to the railroad by the raiders was im
possible. The "General" was abandoned by
the raiders at a point about half way
between Ringgold and Graysville, on
account of lack of fuel and the close
pursuit of Fuller and his party. When
the fugitives abandoned the engine
their leader said, "Fveryone take care
of himself," and they left in squads.
Four of them were run down in the
fork of Chickamauga river at Grays
vill and one was forcibly persuaded
to tell who they were. Iter there
was a trial by military court, and
eight -of the number wen executed in
Atlanta as spies, six were paroled at
City Point, Ya., and eight escaped
from prison at Atlanta.
The object of the raid was to burn
the bridges on the line of the Western
A: Atlantic railroad and thus cut off
the Confederate army from its base
j of supplies.
j The survivors of the Andrews' raid
ers have erected a monument to their
fal'en comrade.", and it stands today
in the National cemetery at Chatta
j noo-a. Two tablets have also been
erected by the Nashville, Chattanooga
j & St. Louis railway, one marking the
spot at which the General was cap
tured and the other where it was
abandoned. A third tablet has been
erected in front of the engine "Gen
eral" in Chattanooga.
