H., Sept. 23.?The ? duty of the state of New Hampshire . toward Harry K Thaw was the sub- ? Ject of exhaust1 v j argument before Givernor Pulker Vday 1 The legal battle in which William Travers Jerome, special deputy at- " torney general of New York state, which seeks to obtain the extradition of Thaw as a fugitive from Justice, was pitted against three of the fugitive's array of counsel, was dramatic ' at times, and near the close came dangerously near to being personal. t To the charge that he had resorted to subterfuge and was moved by ul- JJ terior motives In his determination to return Thaw to the Matteawan Insane asylum, Jerome retorted with " unusual feeling that the state of New York would not permit its Justice to ^ be defeated by the use of Thaw money. At the conclusion of the arguments c the governor gave counsel until Mon- h day to file supplementary briefs so ? his decision will not be known for a 1 week at least. !_ Seated beside the governor in the. senate chamber of the capitol where General Tuttle, by whose opinion the executive has said he will be guided. NEW ANGLES DEVELOP. |" During Jerome's arguments new S angles In the case developed. What | appeared to take the opposing coun- ' ^ sel by surprise was the statement that Thaw Is now under Indictment " In Dutchess county, charged with p conspiracy to escape from the insane 0 asylum. Former Judge William \ Chase of New Hampshire and former i, Governor Stone of Pennsylvania, i pleading for Thaw, had emphasized Q the common belief that no bill had been found against their client and r, that accordingly there was no evl- ^ dence before the governor that New York intended to place him on trial. ^ Jerome went further and gave his word that Thaw would be placed on . trial If returned to New York state. These assertions were coupled with the explanation that the returning of the indictment had been kept secret In order that evidence might be presented to the Jury against the "In- n stlgator of this plot, a man of more ' J1 Importance than any one yet men- 1( tloned In this proceeding." w Judge Chase, in turn, suggested ? the idea that New York state had no b right to confine Thaw, who, he said,) was a citizen of Pennsylvania and = should by right have been returned ~ to that state when he was adjudged insane. HAS NO ALTERNATIVE. !S In opening, Mr. Jerome contented himself with stating that the gover- H nor had no alternative to honoring j the request of the New York authorl- ' ties. He held that the only points to O be determined were that Thaw was wanted, that he was in New York state when the alleged offense was T confrmitted, and the matter of his ' Identity. . T Judge Chase followed with the : argument that Thaw was insane when he escaped from Matteawan A and therefore Irresponsible. The , charge of conspiracy had been trumped up, he said, for the purpose of re- T turning Thaw to the asylum. Gover- j nor Stone declared that there was no law to punish a lunatic for escaping j from an asylum. Roth quoted at | length from authorities. George F. Morris, the third of "" Thaw's counsel, attacked the peti- T tion for extradition, saying it sought to do indirectly what its sponsors q could not do directly. In the name c? of public opinion and public sentl- n, ment he asked the governor to exer- ni else broad discretion in dealing with js the case. j u, NO REASON FOR EXCUSE. | 01 Mr. Jerome began nts reply Dy ?? flaying that while he had listened to dt many arguments in many tribunals, It "he had never heard a more extra- j se ordinary argument advanced than | that of Mr. Morris, that in a forced , ar and fraululent public opinion th? I th governor of New HHaampshlre could sli and should find a reason for an ex- ye cuse for disregarding the petition for in a writ of extradition and for refusing pi to perform a duty laid upon him by ea the constitution of the United States, th He then quoted from decisions of po the United States supreme court to kr show that the process of extradition | covered every offense punishable by ce law and that the certificate of the re- W( questing governor was all the au- q, thority as to the crime committed ve that was needed by the governor Dr upon whom the request was made. i {,0 IT" ISn Indictment Not Public.
