Thaw Family and Counsel

the Verdict
*
a
New Y»«l :, Feb i—Harry Thaw
will hale t<> spend some time in an
iriwin» akylum. The jury this morn­
ing retut. eii a verdict of not guilty
on account of insanity and commit­
ted th»- prisoner to Matteawan.
Tin* means that Thaw will probably
b» forced to remain at that institution
for some weeks or months, after
which he will in probability be »<■-
moved to a private sanitarium, then
discharged as cured.
The jury re<naine<l out all night
and did not arrive at a » efdict un­
til a great mass gg eabihits in the
rase had i*een carefully gone over
and as carefully discussed.
‘disposition and that the faint of in­
sanity can be obliterated with care­
ful attention to well known methods
i of dealing with such patients.
Littleton was greatly elated over
I the verdict anil congratulated Thaw
and his young wife.
Mrs. Thaw.
Harry’s mother, wept silently when
! she realized that her son would be
sent to the bleak asylum for the
criminal insane.
There were a few awful moments
as the jury filed in to deliver the
verdict. Rumor had it that it was
to be another split jury and Thaw
and his wife dreaded the ordeal of
another trial, and a repetition of the
stories of ^both their lives. Harry
looked the jurors in the eye as they
vtent by but there was nothing to be
learned.
The,verdict seems to satisfy pub­
lic opinion in Neu York
'Attorney Littleton said: >
“The verdict is not a surprise to
me. I expected that the jury would
find a verdict of not guilty, but 1
did not wholly expect a commit­
ment to an asylum. This, however,
does not mean so much as is sup
posed.’.’
District Attorney Jerome had little
to say. He thought that justice had1
miscarried and that the jury had
been affected by woman’s tears and
and the general feeling against
Standford White.

Albany is sorely afflicted this win­
ter with tramps and shop-lifter-.
According to the report of the mar­
shal, 288 arrests have been made in
that city during November and De­
cember. Most of them were just or­
dinary tramps and were turned loose
the morning after their arrest and
told to move on, which the weary
Willies diil, to be arrested the next
night in some other town and thrown
in jail for the night for a sleeping
place. Two arrests have been made
within a munth for shop-lifting anil
the third was hushed up by the
family paying well for all goods sup­
posed to have been stolen. All the
shop-lifters were women.
