Ilsta-at, SMC, HARRY THAW PART OF PICTURESQUE VILLAGE Recent Visitor Declares Slayer of Sanford White Is Broad, Brilliant Man and Should Be Free From Further Prosecution. BT CHARLES E. GEORGE. f OKH AM. N. H.. Aug. 29. (Special.) I had the pleasure recently of an interview lasting several hours with Harry IC. Thaw, whose Summer home is at the Mount Madison House in this village. Gorham is a beautiful spot, a vil lage of one street surrounded by stately trees, nestled behind which are well built homelike residences so common to Xew England. The whole surround ed by towering mountanis adds pic turesqueness to the scene. It is In every sense of the word a fitting loca tion for the student, the philosopher or trie man of affairs who leaves the busy marts of life for a few weeks or months of rest. Amid these suroundings Harry K. Thaw. but a few years ago one of the most talked of men in court annals, is making his Summer home. He is es sentially a part of the village; the fact of the tragedy with which he was con nected and of the court proceedings resultant therefrom, which have not as yet been concluded, do not serve to make him In any sense an object of curiosity upon tho part of the villagers, who claim lilm as one of their own, 4vho respect him as a citizen and who ntertain for him a feeling of genuine brotherliness because in every sense of the word he is a man among men. well qualified to bear whatever part Is assigned him in the burdens of life along with the best that New England affords. This is saying a great deal because New Hampshire not only in years gone by but today In art, science, literature and the professions, has giants perhaps greater in proportion than any other section of these United States. I dropped in by accident to a shoe re pairing shop and overheard this remark on the part of a stranger: "Harry Thaw is living here. How is he getting on?" The answer came from the honest lips of the proprietor: "Yes, Thaw is living here; he is getting on the same as any of us. No one who knows him would for a moment suggest that he ever had an insane trait; he is just a good citizen, one of the kind we like to have in this community." This reply tells the story in a few words. There is nothing uncommon about the man. unless It be in his won derful mentality, in his retentive mem ory and in his quick, almost nervous, grasp of situations which come piling in from time to time. Conversation Declared Broad To meet Thaw is to meet a gentle man. To converse with him is to re ceive information no matter upon what topic the discussion may be held. He Is equally at nonie in talking politics, matters of religion, the war situation. or the economics of this country. He is a broad, brilliant conversationalist who seems to be filled with the milk of human kindness and to be the possessor of all those qualities which go to make up the busy man of affairs in any trade or in any profession. A little over six feet in height. straight as an Indian, with ruddy. round, almost boyish face, which how ever bears the stamp of intelligence, his brown eyes convey to the visitor the appearance of absolute sincerity In his dealings or In the matter of his statements. Outside of the fact that Harry K. Thaw is a much be'tter look ing man than the great majority of men who have attained the age of 40 years, there Is nothing uncommon about him. Referring back to the events of the last eight years he talks with the strength of a consciousness and knowl edge of the law which is particularly convincing. . hi tire of Act His Belief. I believe that Harry K. Thaw, while he did not say so in so many words, believes absolutely and thoroughly that he was justified in his slaying of Stan ford White. I am Impressed with the fact that any man of his intelligence who possesses the rich red blood that flows in the veins of every true man, under the same circumstances, would have done as he did. Resting his case upon the broad prin ciples of the unwritten law, his act, unquestionably one of a moment's de lirium, was caused by the terrible wrongs perpetrated and thrown into his face by the man who met his end at his hands; Thaw evinces no bitter feeling such as might be expected over a discussion of the tragic event ot June 26, 1906. He feels, in common with all those who have made a study of the case, that there has been in his incarcera tion at Matteawan a violation of every constitutional right which a citizen of the United States has fundamentally granted to him. To those who know Thaw, or who have an opportunity of talking with him on any subject, the question of his sanity is not an issue. If he has ec centricities, they are not any more apparent in his case than they are in 99 out of every 100 individuals who are studied with a view to finding them. I tried to find tho much-advertised ego which a certain vicious press has attributed to him, but absolutely failed. f J Harry Than. 1 .,..1 Rather I found the quiet and unosten tatious man, thoroughly equipped to discuss any question, and during an In terview lasting through the forenoon and afternoon I saw no indication that he felt a self-importance either natural or artificiul. Any man in Thaw's place would feel, as undoubtedly he does, that an at tempt is made to keep him the victim of bolts and bars, because it is feared by certain astute legal gentlemen In New York, who represent a coterie of rich satyrs, that if victory finally perches on the Thaw banners they will have lost their control of numberless victims of the wealthy clients' pas sions, who can then no longer be in timidated. Others might cause ex posures, and that is what is feared. Thaw's information dates back so many years that this is now of no interest. To say that he is not a safe man to be at large is a ridiculous proposition. I beTieve that his self-control is suffi cient so that if he were thrown into an assemblage into which Jerome and men of his stripe men who have been guilty of persecuting Thaw were his associates, that he would quietly ab sent himself from the gathering rather than to become involved in any argu ment which might serve to stir up or to renew past memories. Issues Not Affected. While bail nas been denied Thaw, it in no way prejudices his case, nor is it to be taken as an indication of the ruling of the Supreme Court of the United States upon the issues involved In the appeal now pending there. While he is in the custody of the law, as exemplified by Holman A. Drew, high Sheriff of this county, yet there is no likelihood that if he were released upon his own recognizance lie would do other than go about his work and live the same life he is living to day. The restrictions which are imposed upon him are not odious; in fact, they are hardly noticeable. As an evidence of the honesty of his intentions, some days since, while on a fishing trip a few miles up in the mountains, he be came estrayed from his guard, lost his food, a storm and darkness came up. and after some hours lie was found seated upon a rock waiting for trie inevitable. He wanted someone to find him and show him the way back to Qorhnm. Considering the points Involved In the appeal from Judge Aldrlcn s tie clsion granting the writ of habeas comus and thereby holding thai i naw was entitled to his discharge, it seems entirely unlikely that the Supreme Court of the United States will do other than affirm Judge Aldricli s de cision, is the opinion of the best law yers throughout the country who are familiar with the facts, with the de cree handed down and with the law. And, therefore, it has been made. upon the part of some newspapers, to an near that Thaw Is not tne man ne really is, thereby seeking to make of him an object of curiosity; and again this same vicious press lias cast base insinuations upon the integrity of the Federal Court of New Hampshire, as well as of the nine Judges who are eventually to pass upon the Issues In volved at Washington. The purpose is plain. Judge Aldricli in his decision passed directly upon the fact that the process under which Mr. Thaw was sought to be returned to New York was not due process In the constitutional extra dltlonal sense. In effect Judge Aldrlch held that the proceedings Instituted by Attorney-General Carmody, through his understrapper Jerome, ought to be dismissed for bad faith. A direful reading- of all the evidence submitted on the habeas corpus proceedings Is bound to bear out that conclusion. In order to accomplish his purpose Mr. Jerome attempted a misuse of the ex tradition process, his ulterior purposes being apparent at every step of the proceedings. No charge of crime In the State of New York today exists against Harry K. Thaw In a constitutional sense. Not content with determining the J case upon tha law simie Involved. Judge Edgar Aldricli, a msn of unlm peachable Integrity and of absolute honesty, appointed a commission con sisting of one of the most prominent lawyers in iMigiunn, ann mm rp-ii alienists of the hlgheKt standing. There men had no x Sa grind; they wr not bought with Thiw money. The solo Idea being that tlin question of his sanity should he disposed of by non-partisan commission, by nu n Who entered upon the discharge of tfcalr duty without any certainty of compn. sation. feeling that It was an ohtlg tlon they owed to the public at Isrsr. The finding Of this body of alienists was to the effect that Thaw In ull re spects was a normal mini. This find ing being a part of the proceedings M the court ruling, is entitled to con sideration. While Mr. Thaw Is enjoying himself as best he may In one of the most de lightful spots in the mountainous re gions of New HampKhlre. he Is entitled, In common Justice, to his release ball. When the mandate or tho Su premo Court of the United States Is ready for filing In his case, whatever the decision may be. Harry K. Thaw will be at the bar of Justice expecting his discharge, but man-like prepared to meet that Judgment If. as seems most likely, it should be adverse to his interests.
