THAW HEARING HELD; I
> DECISION DEFERRED
JEROME FIGHTS HARD AGAINST
GALAXY OF COUNSEL. j
Calls on Governor to Ignore Hysteria.
?At Least a Week Before Ruling
is Given.
Concord, N. H., Sept. 23.?The duty ;
of the State of New Hampshire toward
Harry K. Thaw was the subject
of exhaustive argument before Gov.
Felker today.
The legal battle in which William j
Travers Jerome, special deputy attorney
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.
To the charge that he had resorted
to subterfuge and was moved by
ulterior 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 corrupt use of |
Thaw money.
A Week's Delay.
At the conclusion of the arguments !
the governor gave counsel until Monday
to file supplementary briefs. This
means his decision will not be known
for a week at least.
During Jerome's arguments new |
angles in the celebrated case develop- j
ed. One that appeared to take the |
opposing counsel by surprise was his !
statement that Thaw is now under !
indictment in Duchess county, charged
with conspiracy to escape from
' ' " * A 4.4.
tne msane asyium. auuiuc.yj iui
Thaw had emphasized the common
belief that no bill had been found
against their client and that there
was no evidence before the governor
that New York intended to place him
on trial.
Promises a Trial.
Jerome went further and gave his
k 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 pre
sented to the jury against *'tne instigator
of this plot, a man of more importance
than any one yet mentioned
in this proceeding."

Judge W. M. Chase, for the pris- 1
oner, argued that Thaw was insane :
wfben he escaped from Matteawan and
therefore irresponsible. The charge
of conspiracy had been trumped up
he said, for the purpose of returning (
Thaw to the asylum.

in dealing with the case,

i
Mr. Jerome said that while he had
listened to many arguments in many
tribunals, he never had heard a more ,
extraordinary argument advanced i
than that of Mr. Morris, that in a J
forced and fraudulent public opinion
the governor of New Hampshire could
and should find a reason for an excuse
for disregarding the petition for a
writ of extradition and for refusing to i
o ^ntv laid nnon him by the j

He quoted from decisions of thej
United States supreme court to show '
every offense punishable by law and ,
that the certificate of the requesting ,
governor was all the authority as to \
the crime committed that was needed ,

Replying to a charge that he had

returned to the State of New York he
will be put on trial before a jury.
"It will rest with the State of New
York to show that the Thaw money
can not corrupt forever, althugh for
a lime it may."

intent, insanity was a complete;
I
defense. Thaw killed a man, "he said,
but was regarded innocent of the
crime because his act was decided by
a jury to have been that of an insane
ipan. He was thereafter confined
in the Matteawan asylum until
the alleged act of conspiracy took
p'ace.
?lileii is lie i ,
"The State of New York has no
right to question the findings of its
own court tfhat Thaw was insane.
But it has charged this insane person
with the criminal act of conspiracy,
especially requiring the exercise of
sanity.
"Thaw was in Matteawan not as a
punishment for a crime, but as a protection
to the public against the acts
of an insane person."
Gov. Stone, who followed, dwelt
upon the fact that the request for extradition
was not acompanied by an
indictment. The requisition papers,
he said, did not comply with the requirements
of the State.
>Gov. Stone concluded at 1 o'clock
and adjournment until 2 o'clock was
taken.
Gov. Stone this afternoon asked
for time to file supplementary briefs
and was granted until Monday. The
hearing was then declared at an end.
In a sharp reply to Mr. Jerome,
Gov. Stone charged that the deputy
attorney general had hounded Thaw
from the night that Stanford White
was murdered.
