3 THAW S RETURN TO NEW YORK ORDERED United States Supreme Court Decides Against Slayer of i Stanford White. v MEW FIGHT IS PROBABLE Fugitive From Mat tea wan Xow Is to Stand Trial on Charge of Con spiracy to Escape Prison for Insane Criminals. . WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. The right . ef the State of New York to extradite ttarry K. Thaw from New Hampshire was upheld today by the Supreme Court In an unanimous opinion, reversing Judge Aldrich. of the Federal District Court of New Hampshire. Justice Holmes, speaking for the- court.' de clared the case was "too dear for lengthy argument," and with few words wept aside as irrelevant all conten tions of Thaw's counsel. Conspiracy to escape from Matteawan Insane Asylum, to which he was com mitted after killing Stanford Whlfe In 106, is the charge on which Tha-vr stands indicted in New York. On this indictment, once the noted prisoner is gain in the hands of the New York authorities, will begin anew Thaw'a battle against being returned to Mat teawan. Just what the line of action then may be was not known here to night. Fight Likely to Go On. Philander C. Knox, who conducted thaw's case before the Supreme Court, had nothing to say. though it had been Intimated that ordering of extradition Vould by no means end the fight. After 30 days, unless counsel for both ides Join in asking for action earlier, the Supreme Court will issue a mandate to Judge Aldrich to set aside his decree In habeas corpus proceedings, ordering Thaw released by the New Hampshire authorities who were holding him for extradition under the Governor's order. This will cause Thaw, now at liberty under guard of a federal court cus todian, to be turned over to the State of New Hampshire and pave the way (or his Immediate extradition to New Xork. Extradition Is Held Legal. In brief. Thaw's counsel sought his freedom on the ground that the indlct (nent against him charged no crime; that if he was insane, as the New York authorities contend in placing htm In the asylum, he could not be guilty of the crime of conspiracy fot. which his extradition was sought. The Supreme Court held, in effect, that the question of the prisoner's san ity or insanity was one which should fco passed on by the New York State courts; that an extraditable crime was charged, and the only question before the Supreme Court was the legality of the extradition of a prisoner so charged. Legal authorities who have followed the case predicted today that a wide field of controversy would be opened up when the New York courts were reached.

Any statement regarding the court's action will have to come from his coun sel. Philander C. Knox, in whom Mr. Thaw has every confidence." Thaw has been in Manchester for three months. PITTSBURG, D21. "I cannot be lieve it," exclaimed Mrs. William Thaw, mother of Harry Thaw, when informed of the decision of the United States Supreme Court today.
