District Attorney Jerome, are supported, and It Is declared that Thaw is still insane, still suffering from persistent delusions, and still as much a paranoiac as on the day he shot Stan ford White. Thaw Is Calm, Will Appeal. Thaw, waiting In the White. Plains jail, received the news with an outward calm ness that appeared more forced than The members of his family and his attorney seemea siunnea thoroughness of their defeat. Thaw de--ii jt mil anv atAtement. con tenting himself with the assertion that he was not disheartened ano woum v once continue his fight for liberty. "My next efforts." he said, "will be centered on the Court of Appeals, through which I expect to secure a hearing by a Jury In my effort to have my commit ment to Matteawan set aside." Appeal Once Denied. The case before the Court of Appeals to which Thaw referred Is one which has been under consideration for some time. It came before Justice Mills last Octo ber, when Tha- applied for an osder setting aside his commitment on the ground that the court which had com mitted him was without power to issue such an order, as Thaw at that time was not on trial on a question of sanity. At the same time he asked to have the question of his mental . condition sub mitted to a Jury. When Justice Mills promptly denied this application, the case was carried to the appellate divi sion, which sustained Jurtice Mills. ThaWs attorney has already made a second appeal and it is upon this appeal that Thaw says his efforts will now be based. Not Safe to Be at Large. Justice Mills. In his opinion today reached three formal conclusions. (1) That Thaw was insane when he killed Whi'e: (3) that he has not yet re covered: (3) that public peace and safety would be endangered by setting him at Vanie. , . He characterizes Evelyn Thaw s tale of the Madison Square tower room and sim ilar stories about White as "wild and grossly Improbable, and evidently to any normal mind grossly exaggerated." He asserts his belief in the testimony of Suoan Merrill regarding Thaws alleged prrverjed practices, and points out the contrast between Thaw's chivalrous at titude as a protector of young American womanhood and his private life. Horror of Matteawan. Justice Mills expresses deep sympathy ffM the prisoner's mother and her expo sition of the "horrors of Matteawan" on the stand evidently prompted his rec ommendation that Thaw be allowed greater privileges at that institution. Not the least significant sentence In Justice Mills' decision, in the opinion of lawyers here. Is one which declares that Thaw's 'delusions had become fixed and established prior to the time of his mar riage." It is pointed out that this sen tence may prove ground for proceedings bv Mrs. Evelyn Thaw for divorce. Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw tonight made the fallowing statement: "Let no one Imagine for a moment on reading this opinion of Judge Mills that It means a victory for the District At torney of New York. Kvery prop was taken from under that arrogant, vindic tive persecutor of a sane, acquitted man. "Po baffled was he that, when he arose to make his closing speech (for argu ment it was not) he had more the ap pearance of a schoolboy compelled to ' say his piece than the sometimes cour ageous, mature sophist who dominates the courts of his own Judicial district, . except when wealthy malefactors are under trial. "This totally unexpected and cruel de cision of the trial Judge must remain a mystery. Family Win Watch at Gate. "Meanwhile my son. my daughter and I have no alternative but to take up again the burden I had every reason to believe was behind us forever. We. ex iled from our two homes and all the reg-ubir flow of life, will remain close to the gate, and so help the son and brother to endure an existence which, if per petual, would be far worse than death Itself, trusting in God's overruling provi dence in his own good time to vindicate the right. (Signed) "MART COPLEY THAW." THAW TAKES NEWS CALMLY Denies He Has Delusions Family Refuses to Be Seen. WHITE PLAINS. X. T.. Aug. 11 Harry K. Thaw received the news today of the failure of his second attempt to be dis charged from the asylum with but slight display of emotion. "Have you heard Justice Mills' decis ion?" he was asked. "No." said Thaw, without moving from his chair. A copy of the court's opinion was handed to him. He read tt rapidly and without comment until he came to the following sentence: "If those beliefs constituted delusions In his mind when he committed the homi cide, they are the same now." "That's not so." he said, and marked the lines with his pencil. As to his future plans, he referred questioners to his at torney. Charles Morschauser. who was not in town when the decision was ren dered. None of the prisoner's family could be found. At their hotel it was said they had locked themselves In their rooms and given orders that no one be admitted. Before the decision was announced. Thaw gave out the following typewritten statement: "Letters reach me with all sorts of aobscrlpuona beside 'H. K- Thaw, Pitts burg. Pa." My address in New York for over 10 years has oeen care nm Astoria Hotel, but the postoffce is very efficient and letters addressed simply New York City reach me safely. The following letter is from Miss Mc Kenzle, to whom Mr. White wrote the two mushroom letters.' She escaped be ing a victim in a chance warning con tained in these letters. " '26 East 5th Street, New York. Aug. 10. " 'Dear Mr. Thaw: I deeply appreciate your speaking up In the courtroom when they insinuated I had been a "victim. If all the newspapers would print all you said! Some of your remarks were splen did. Best wishes always. " MAY McKENZIE.' " EVELYX SILENT ABOUT DIVORCE Will Consult Counsel Before She Talks About Thaw. - NEW YORK. Aug. 12. Evelyn Nes bit Thaw said today that she would make no statement with regard to pos sible divorce proceedings against Harry K. Thaw until she had conferred with her counsel. GIRLS LEAVE CONVENT TWO PORTLAND MISSES FIND INSTITUTION" TOO STRICT. Detained at Hood River Cntil De tective' Arrives, They Give Fictitious Names. HOOD RIVER, Or., Aug. 12. (Special.) Rebelling at what it is believed was too strict discipline for them, two pretty young girls, who arrived here last night, were taken back to Portland today to be placed in 9t. Mary's Convent. The girls are aged about 13 and 15 years, respective ly, and were taken back to the Rose City in the custody of Detective Hawley, of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society. At the Waucoma Hotel, where they were apprehended, they were registered under the names of Carmen and Carmel Reeve. The first news that the runaways were in this city was received by Sheriff Morse at a late hour last night, when he was notified from Portland that they were thought to be at Hood River, and had K0 with them. Finding them at the hotel, a search revealed W of the money. When notified that they would be de tained and returned to Portland they stated, between sobs, that they were tired of the strict discipline of the convent and had run away on a little sight-seeing trip. Both the runaways are still In short dresses, and on their promise that they would not leave the hotel they were al lowed to remain there until the arrival of the detective this morning. They said that the names under which they regis tered were assumed, but refused to reveal their identity. It was stated by Detective Hawley that they are the daughters of well-known and wealthy parents, but he also refused to throw any light on their identity. The girls said they were going from here to Dee on the Mount Hood Railroad. The two young girls brought back by Detective Hawley ran away from their homes in Portland on Wednesday morn ing. Both live on the East Side. They were traced to Hood River by the par. ents of one. who ssked for the services of a police officer from Chief Cox. The father of one of the girls defrayed the officer's expenses there and return, be lieving that the moral effect of having the officer bring them home, instead of a relative, would have a lasting effect upon the runaways. At the request of the girls' parents their identity is be ing kept secret by the police. HOUSE HAS WRANGLE DCWAMISH WATERWAY BILL TARES IP TIME.
