I saw him coming and just :,a'l time to crowd my hourses close over to one side of I the road He'd have hit me sure. Just let him keep on; he'll break hi* neck." Klannlgan said that he recognized Thaw hitting on the rear heat of the louring car. The limousine was I trailing the big ear, Flannlgan said. Dr. Kleb, realizing the futility or, the chase, railed it off and went back to Matteawan. IJefore starting, Dr. Kleb notified District Attorney Conger, .Sheriff Hornbeck and County Judge Has brouck, The county authorities tele phoned to points in the eastern parti of the county. None of the towns' near the state line, however, was able to give any Information about the two cars. The la.-.t definite news was from Htorm ville. After Thaw left Storm vl lie he had two routes open to the Connecticut line, oil" hy way of Duddlngtonvllle, Carmcl and Browster to Mill I'lains, live miles beyond Hrewuter. The other wa>< by the way of Pauling to the state line. The lauer ;h the best' road for an automobile The road by Hrowstor would have t;jken him over a rough country part of the way and would have been more| liable to have caused his halt, by tele phone. Just before Hrowstor Ih reached, however, there Ih a baek road leading ?o the Connecticut lino and which would have taken him away from all observation until the Con necticut lino was reached. Which road he- took no one knew. Howard offered. According to the account given by Dr. Kleb, when Harnum opened the gate to allow tin: milkman to oil ier he let. it remain open and, so far us Dr. Klob could judgo, had quietly stood by and allowed the prisoner to walk out. it was I in possible to ob tain an interview with Harnum, as he had boon placed in custody by the hospital authorities. Dr. Kleb hiiH offered a personal reward of $'.00 for Thaw's apprehension, In addition to the $.',<> usually given by the State In such cases. A rigid Investigation, begun with out delay, inclined Dr. Kiob tonight to tin- boliof that Thaw planned flight on a yacht In I/ong Island Hound and that If he reached the yacht, |t was by relays of earn Hta tlonod along the road to throw pur suers off the track, Harnum Disliked Thaw. Harnum bad not been particularly friendly with Thaw. In fact, he ap peared to dislike him. He told frlonds on mom than one occasion that "Thaw makes trouble for all of 11a and keeps the place In a turmoil." Thaw's escape was aided by the fact that he has constantly declared he would not accept freedom unless It came by legal processes. The hos pital authorities, as a result, had giv en hllll liberties which many other prisoners did not enjoy, in fact, ho has been regarded as a "trusty" for sometime, lCf|llltted of .Murder. The asylum housed Thaw not as a Murderer, but as an IllSUnO person. The Jury which sent him here acquit ted Mm of the mtirdor Of Stanford While on the same grounds as caus ed his Incarceration In the hospital for the criminal Insane that of in sanity.
