NOTABLE VICTORY
FOR HARRY K. THAW
Commission Finds No Trace of
Insanity.
MENTAL CONDITION SOUND
Report Says IJberty Under llail
Would Not be Dangerous?Reviews
His Past Trials.
Concord, N. H., Jan. 11.?Harry
Kendall Thaw would not be a public
menace if released on bail, accordIn
ir tn thA rnnnrt nf thn r?r*m mloqlnn
appointed by Federal Judge Aldrlch
to inquire into Thaw's mentality. The
-f report says the commission finds
Thaw is not now afilicted with any
of the mental diseases from which
he was suffering when he slew Stanford
White.
The finding was announced today.
While the commissioners say they
have reached "a definite and positive
opinion" as to the present mental
condition of Thaw and his probable
state of mind at the time of the
homicide, "they refrain from expressing
this opinion in view of their instructions
from the court not to em,
burrass aby subsequent litigation.
>! where the broad question qf insanity
'might be involved.".- ? ...
MENTAL CONDITION'SOUND. : j
"Upon'the question Of menace or
danger through the'granting of bail,
we may, however, be permitted and
probably are compelled," concludes
the report, "to record our finding
that whatever may nave been the
mental condition of Harry K. Thaw
at the time of the homicide, he now
is not suffering from any of the mental
diseases alleged by the prosecution
at the time of the trials or subsequently
thereto, namely, maniadepressive
insanity, paranoia, dementia
praecox, or delusional Insanity.
"In our opinion it is reasonably
** probable that Harry Kendall Thaw's
liberty under bail would not be dangerous
or a menace to the public
safety."
MEMBERS OF COMMISSION.
The commission comprised Gen.
Frank S. Streeter, a lawyer of this
city, Dr. Morton Prince, Boston; Dr.
G. Aiderblumer, superintendent of
Butler Hospital for the Insane, Providence,
R. I., and Dr. Charles P. Bancroft,
superintendent of the New
Hampshire Hospital for the Insane,
this city. The report will he considered
by Judge Aldricb early this
week in connection with the petition
of Thaw for admission to bail under
habeas corpus proceedings. The
Judge has said that after the presentation
of the report, interested
parties may liav^ an opportunity to
be heard further before the question
of bail finally is passed on. No date
for a hearing has been set.
After referring briefly to Thaw's
second trial and his committal to
Matteawan State Hospital, the report
says the commission examined all
entries of the official record in the
hospital relating to Thaw from February.
1908. to the date of his escape
from the hospital. Transcripts of
; three cross-examinations of Thaw by
counsel for the state of New York on
habeas corpus proceedings were also
Inspected. -
"All the cross-examinations,'* 6ays
the report, "except that before Justice
Morschauser, which was brief,
covered the most searching Inquiry
Into Thaw's mental condition and
attitude.
USED EXHIBITS AND LETTERS.
"We also had before us," said the
commissioners, "various exhibits, letters
and other documents used upon
the two trials for homicide and in
other proceedings."
The report then tel s of the public
hearings held on January 7, at which
interested parties were asked to offer
evidence of acts committed by Thaw
since his committal to Matteawan,
tending to show personal violence and
evidence to the contrary. "Counsel
for the state of New York," It continues,
"declined to appear on the
ground that our power under the order
of the court was Inadequate to a
determination of the question sub
mltted. Counsel appeared for Thaw
and offered evidence of his custodianship
since September 18, 1913."
The commission says Its mental examinations
of Thaw "covered a
searching inquisition into nil the acts
of his life. They included an examination
of his present and former
mental attitudes with reference to all
his acts."
A careful physical examination to
determine the presence or absence of
structural or runcnonai aisiuruauce
of the nervous system, also was made.
"In its studies ana deliberations,"
says the report, "the commission has
in the main confined its attention to
facts, preferring to attach little importance
to conflicting opinions of experts
and "other witnesses."
Thaw attended church with his
mother today, accompanied by one of
Thaw's guards.
j * iter they were informed of the
Vii'Sg of the commission but neither
'* . comment, saying they were
aetii\g by advice of counsel.
