THAW'S FIGHT FOR"
FREEDOM HAS BEEN
COMMENCED
Pounhkeepsie, N, V., May 4.--Thaw's
flu hi for liberty and release
from the Mattewan state hosplt.il for'
erlmal insane was taken up la the
supreme court today, hast'd on a writ '
of habeas corpus issued by .1 ust Ice
Morselmuer ut White Wains April 22
and madu returnable before hi iti to-1
day.
Young Mrs. Thaw has offered to'
'appear in behalf of her husband, from :
whom she Is seeking a divoree. If her!
testimony Is necessary In the proceed-'
Iiiks. Thaw will undoubtedly go on
the stand In hta own behalf. His
counsel says he is willing to submit
to any examination the court or dis
trict attorney may desire to show'
proof of sanity. His counsel will op-J
pose any effort to have the case
transferred to New York county.
District Attorney Mack, of Duchess'
county, moved that the trial be trans-
ferred to New York because of the'
expense which It would Inflict upon
the county of Duchess, about $;iu
000. Assistant District Attorney liar- j
van that the, trial would Involve the
sending of commissioners to Purls,
Monte Carlo and other places in Ku
rnpe to obtain evidence of Thaw's
sanity, and argued that the case
should be concluded under the juris
diction wheiv it originated. Attor
ney liraham, for Thaw, argued that
the cas sh.nild be tried In the judi
cial district where the habeas corpus
was made returnable, and that the
slutttuont of the cost of the proceed
ings had been exaggerated; that the
function of the New York district at
torney ended with the murder trial.
The New York district attorney could
appear only by courtesy of the court,
and not the Duchess county district
atto rney.
Judge Morsehnuer denied the mo
tion to tmnsfer the hearing, but of
fered to sit In New Yorw to hear the
people's testimony If both sides were
to consent. After the relator's side
Is heard Judge Morschauer will sit
In New York to accommodate Jerome.
Adjournment t May 11 was an
nounced, and Thaw was taken to the
county jail In charge of the sheriff,
where he will be able to have meals
from the outside and receive any vis
itors he wishes to see.
