NEW HAMPSHRE NEW YORK", March 20, Two jus tices of Hip npoellato division of thfl supremo court ngreed today that there wns n doubt in their minds whether the state of New York would be within its rights hi "pouncing- on" Harry Kendall Thnw nnd returning him to Mntteawnn after hU acquittal here on the eonspimey charge on which ho wns extradited from New Hampshire. TliC3- wcro Justice Ingir.hnm, pre siding, nnd Justice Soolt. To voice their views they interrupted Franklin Kennedy, special deputy nttorncy general in pbnrgo of tho state's case, while he wn nrguing before the np pollato division against nn appeal taken by Thaw's counsel from n de cision of Supremo Court Justice Page refusing a motion to return Thaw to New Hampshire. ArfcumentH of CohbmoI Counsel for Thnw bad nlrcndy pre sented their arguments, which were based upon the contention that Thaw, having been extradited from New Hampshire to answer a charge of conspiracy nnd having been freed of that charge, should bo returned fortti-, with to (lie state from which he wan' extradited. Mr. Kennedy then began his nrgument, contending that even though Thaw had been acquitted, tho fact remained that he was now within New York's jurisdiction, and Hint ns the original commitment upon which he wns sent to Matteawan xvns still valid, he should be returned there. Justice Ingrabmn interrupted hia nrgument to say: Question of Honor "I nm in doubt ns to tho rights of . the Stnto of New York to pounce upon Thaw, following his acquittal of Crime, nnd then return hint to the stute hospital for tho criminal insnno nt Mnttenwan. T bcliove most citi zens of this stnto would regard such action as dishonorable. "The question involved in this enso is whether tho stnto of New York can with honor hold Thnw on the com mitment signed subsequent to hi- second trial, nftcr ho wns extradited from New Hampshire for a spcoifio crime and found not guilty, when the commitment ordered his Teturn to Mnttenwan on n charge that is npfc extraditable."
