Famous Prisoner on
Way to Court.
NEW YORK. July 15.-Harry K. Thaw
will bo freed on bail tomorrow, no matter
what the decision of Justice Hendrlck as
to Thaw's sanity and unconditional free
dom. One of tho most remarkable demonstra

York occurred today after Judge Hen
drlck. of the Supreme Court, had post
poned for 24 hours the rendering of a
final decision as to the sanity and free
dom of Thaw, who was found sane by
a Jury yesterday afternoon.
Thaw was "mobbed" by a great crowd
of admirers on his way from the county
courthouse to the ofllces of Justice Hen
drlck In ' the Industrial Bank Ruildlncr,
and his clothes were nearly torn off.
There was a great friendly demonstration
toward." the prisoner, the crowd cheering
and trying to clasp Thaw by the hand.
The police officers in the streets and the
deputies accompanying Thaw had all they
could do to pilot him through the nvjb.
They took refuge In offices of Justice
Hendrlck. ,
After the proceedings were over Thaw
was detained In the Judge's offices until
the police could clear Chambers street so
that the prisoner could be taken back to
the Ludlow street Jail.
Through a misunderstanding Thaw was
taken to the county courthouse at 11
o'clock this morning Instead of to the
chambers' of Justice Hendrlck, across the
street.
Justice Hendrlck. In the meantime, was
In his offices waiting for Thaw. In the
Justice's chambers were Edgar Bamber

20 reporters, all waiting patiently for the

WASHINGTON. July 15. - Sir Cecil
Spring-Rice, EngllBh Ambassador, ac
cording to tho highest Information today,
complained ni the State Department that
Count Dernstorff, German Ambassador
here, had" personally paid J2000 to the
leaders of the strike at the Remington
Arms Works to go on n strike. Ambas
sador Jlcrnstoj-ff denied tho report.
The Information that the British Am
bassador had entered n formal complaint,
based on the report made by Major Pen
Held, of tho Remington Arms Company,
came from Gorman sources.
At the State Department the officials de
clined to discuss tho visit of Ambassador
Sprlng-RIco to tho State Department yes
terday, when it is Bald that he nuked tho
Government to investigate the report that
German money was being used to cause
Lhe. labor trouble, at Bridgeport. Inas
much asTuformer Go.vcrnment-ofllclal.waTi
authprlty for tho statement It IS likely
that the State Department will make an
Investigation.
If it is shown that the German Govern
ment Is interfering In our domestic af
fairs, as charged by Mnjor Pcnfleld, it
would be an unneutral act, and If Am
bassador Bernstorff personally paid the
money to cuuso tho strike it Is probabe
that this Government would hnnd him
his passports.
It becumo known today thnt the Eng
lish Government Is maintaining a spy sys
tem In this country, watching especially
nil those who enter tho German Embassy
here.
OFFICIAL OF ARMS COMPANY
BLAMES HERMANS FOR STRIKE
Declares 100 Millwrights Were Per
suaded to Walk Out.'t
BRIDGEPORT, July 15.-MaJor Walter
A. Penfleld, works manuger for the Rem
ingtoh Arms and Ammunition Company,
said today that the strike at the plant.
which wns said to be tying up munitions
shipments to Euprope, was nothing rnore
Ihnn a tempest In a feu pot. He said the
strike of 100 millwrights was directly at
tributable to Germun agltatlpn. There
are 4000 workmen engaged In life con
struction work.
The arms compnny Is a victim of cir
cumstances, Major Penfleld said, and the
German agents here have taken advan
tage of the trouble between the Carpen
ters' Union and the Structural Iron
Workers to hold up shipments of arms
and ammunition. He characterized a re
cent attempt to call the bricklayers out on
strike us another German effort.
This was a day of expectancy rather
than action In the strike of the mill
wrights, with plenty of rumors of fur
ther walkouts, especially on the part of
the machinists. A delegation of mill
workers asked for a conference with
Major Penfleld, but the superintendent
refused to have anything to do with the
constructural workers. A delegation of
millwrights held a conference with Oeorge
O. Grleat, superintendent of the James
Stewart Construction Company, but with
out result.
Construction of the works was begun
In February, admittedly for the manu
facture of rllles nnd ammunition for the
Allies. The Arms and Ammunition Com
pany, which Is affiliated with the Rem
ington Arms-Unlon Metallic Cartridge
Company, has erected Jl0.P00 worth of
factory buildings on a stretch of land
half a mile long, north of Boston avenue.
Including rifle ranges and other auxiliar
ies, the plant covers severs,! square mllea
on the northeast side of the city.

thing b wanted to talk about was Sun

In explaining the circumstances of her
