R. D. SM1ITH.
THAW IS DEOLARED INSANE.
k Slayer of White Must Go Back to
Mattewan.-Thaw's Mother At
tacks Jerome.
W.ite Plains, N. Y., August 12.
Harry K. Thaw's latest attempt to
Main his liberty met with complete
and dirheartening defeat today, when
Supreme Court Justice Isaac N Mills
dismissed the writ of habeas corpus
and declar'ed that "the release of.
the petitioner, would be dangerous to
the oublic peace and safety." The
signing of an order sending Thaw
back to Mattewan is all that remains
to complete the failure of this lat
est appeal to the courts.
There is no crumb of comfort for
Thaw in the 7,000 word opinion
handed down by Justice Mills to-day.
All the contentions of District At
torney Jerome are supported and it
is declared that Thaw is still insane,
and still as much a paranoiac as on
the day he shot Stanford White.
Thaw, waiting in the White Plains
jail, at the rear of the court house,
where the decision was filed, received
the news with outward calmness. The
members of his family and his attor
nev seemed stunned by the thorough
ness of their defeat. Thaw declined
to give out any extended statement,
contenting himself with the asser
tion that his next efforts will be cen
tered upon the Court of Appeals,
through which he expects to secure'
a hearing before a jury' in his effort
to have his commitment to Mattewan
set aside.
The case before the Court of Ap
peals. is one which has been under
consieration for some time.
Justice Mills, in his opinion to-day
reaches three formal conclusions:
hat Thaw was insane when he killed
White; that he has not yet recovered;
and that public peace and safety
woud be endangered by setting him
at large. He upholds District Attor
nev Jerome's contentions that Thaw
still cherishes delusions regarding the
practices of Stanford White and his
associates. He characterizes Evelyn
Thaw 's tale of the Madison Square
tower room and similar stories about
White told at the sanity hearing, as
"wild and grossly improbable, ev1
dentlv to any normal mind grossly
exaggerated." '
Thaw's Pervert Practices. I
He asserts his belief in the testi
mor of Susan Merrill re.garding
Thaw 's allezed pervert practices,
and points out the contrast between
SThaw 's chivalrous attitude as a pro
teetr of young American woman
hood arnd hi privte life.

Thaw was visited late to-day by his
at torne. Charles Morschauser. and
by his mother and his sister, Alice,

Late to-night Mrs. Thaw, after

son. wrote out the following state

bidding.
"Every prop was taken from under
that arrogant, vindictive persecutor
of a sane acquitted man.
"So baffled was he that when he
rose to make his closing speech (for
argument it was not) he had more the
appearznce of a school boy compelled
to say a piece than the sometimes
courageous, mature sophist who domi
nates the courts of his judicial dis
trict, except when wealthy malefac
tors are under trial.
"It is impossible to fathom the
workings of the human mind, and so
the reason for this totally unexpected
and cruel decision of the trial Judge ,
must remain a mystery.
"Meanwhile my son, my daughter
and I have no alternative but to take
up again the burden I had every rea
son to believe was behind us forever.
We, exiled. from our two homes and
all the regular flow of life. will re
main close to the gate, and so help
the son and brother to endure an ex
istence which, if perpetual, would be
far worse than death itself, trusting
in God's overruling providence in His
own good time to vindicate the right.

ENGINEER DIED A HERO.
Suffering Agony, He Told Rescuers
to Attend Others.
Atlanta, Ga., August 13.-Passen
gers who were on the Southern train
wrecked nea.r Bristol, Va., last ev
ening arrived here to-night, bringing
details of the bravery of Engineer
Samuel Bush, of Knoxville, who died
to-day as a result of his majurie..
Bush was slowly and painfully work
ing his way out of the wreck of his
engine. sialded and frightfully
bruised, when the few passengers who
retained their senses, dug into the,
mass of twisted and burning iron to
meet him. He was lifted out upon
the ground and a hurried call for phy
sicians resulted in the discovery that!
there was not a doctor on the train.
As the passengers began a hunt for
whiskey to stimulate him and were
breaking open suit cases in their
searh, Bush asked for a last look
at his old engine, as hopeless a wreck
as was its engineer. When they
came to him with the liquor, 'he beg
ged them to look after the comfort
of the passengers. Told that no pas
sengers had been injured, he said:
" That's good. But before I take
this whiskey, I want you men to
smell my breath and testify, if need
be, that I had not been driuking when
this happened.'
Although suffering horrible agonies,
the brave engineer would not toucei
the timnulanit util four of the men
had smelled his breath and promised
to )ear witness to his sobriety.
'All an engineer has is his ree
ord.' he said feebly. "and he cannot
afford to have anything against that.'
And Engineer Bush wvent out upon
his last run with his record spotless,
Bristol. Tenn., Aug. 13.--Engineer
Bush was a native of Bedford coun
