Bema tpme. Bellefonte, Pa., May 29, 1908, Judge Declares Mental Condition of Stanford White's Slayer Has Not Changed and It Would Be Unsafe For Him to Be at Large. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., May 26.—Harry K. Thaw, the slayer of Stanford White, must return to the asylum for the criminal insane at Matteawan. This is the decision of Justice Mors- chauser, of the supreme court, in the matter of Thaw's application for re- lease on a writ of habeas corpus. In view of this decision Thaw's law- yers will apply for permission to place him in some other institution, and by stipulation with the district attorney the prisoner will be kept in the jail here until a decision is rendered. Jus- tice Morschauser’s decision is as fol- lows: “l am satisfied from the evidence adduced before me that the mental condition of Harry K. Thaw has not changed, and I find that he is now in- sane, and that is is so manifest as to make it unsafe for him to be at large. “The people contend that Thaw was not deprived of his liberty without due process of law because he knew that if he chose to prove that he was in- sane when he killed Stanford White, and if the jury acquitted him on that ground, it became the duty of the court to order him committed to the state lunatic asylum until adjudged sane. He had the right to appear in person and to be represented by coun- sel, and he had the right to Introduce evidence of his present sanity. “Thaw had the opportunity to intro- duce evidence of his mental condition which he did not do; he should have known that the adjudication of the court would follow a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity.” Passing upon the contention of Thaw’s counsel attacking the constitu- tionality of the law covering the com- mitment of White's slayer to Mattea- wan, and that the court had no juris- diction, Justice Morschauser quotes many decisions upholding the power of the court to commit insane persons. Justice Morschauser’s decision then continues: “I believe no injustice has been done to Thaw or will be done to him by depriving him of his liberty until such time as he can be discharged by the method prescribed by law. “In view of the existing mental con- dition of said Thaw, the safety of the public is better insured by his remain- ing in custody and under observation until he has recovered, or until such time as it shall be reasonably certain that there is no danger of a recurring attack of the delusion, or whatever it may be. “The writ is dismissed. The order remanding the said Harry K. Thaw can be settled on notice pursuant to stipulation.” After James G. Graham, his attor- ney, had shown him a copy of the opin- fon, Thaw for the first time since he entered Matteawan talked unresedved- ly on everything except his wife. When her suit for annulment of their mar- riage was mentioned he indicated that the interview was at an end. Thaw did not discuss the action of the court, but said that Jerome had done what he deemed his duty. Regarding the report that Evelyn would withdraw her suit and have her- self appointed committee of her hus- band’s property, Thaw said he had no fear of such action.

During one of the most severe storms that haz visited Philadelphia fn years the spire of the historic Old Christ church, on Second street, above Market, was struck by lightning and damaged by a resulting fire to the ex- tent of $15,000. The famous old church was erected under a provisional charter granted by King Charles I to William Penn for the creation of the province of Penn- sylvania in 1695. Old Christ's was the church of President Washington, Pres- ident Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Betsy Ross, the Marquis de Lafayette, mem- bers of the Continental Congress and Revolutionary heroes. Every precaution was taken to pre- vent the destruction of the historic pews, church furnishings and records, and they were covered with canvass and rubber blankets. Because of the extreme height at which the fire start- ed, the firemen had great difficulty in reaching the blaze, which burned for nearly two hours. Before the flames were subdued they had burned the spire nearly down to the belfry. Bryanites Beaten In Pennsylvania.

When a team runs away it is usually the result of carelessness; the reins are loosely held, she horses break away and in a short time are beyond control. Thereis a ran. away disease called yr obing cousump- tion,” and that runaway, like the other, is usually the result of carelessness. The neglected cold, the cough unchecked, bronchial affection developed, depleted vitality, blood too little in quantity and too poor in quality to nourish the body and renew the wasting tissue ; then the run. away gallop of disease which cannot he okecked.
