HARRY K. THAW
IS ATJ.IBERTY
Stanford White's Slayer Makes
Sensational Escape
OARING BASH IN AUTOMOBILE
Five Confederates Help Get Noted
Prisoner Away From Matteawan
Asylum Thaw Ruahed Out of State.
Harry K. Thaw, the sluyer of Stan
ford White, escaped from the hospital
for the criminal inaane at Matteawan,
N. Y., last Sunday morning.
A dart for liberty through an open
gate, a dash into the open door or a
powerful automobile that stood quiver
ing outside, and a flight like a rocket
for the Connecticut state line, thirty
miles away, accomplished his escape.
He is still at large and the hospital
authorities felt certain he is outside
the state. Once beyond its boundaries
Thaw is free. Only months, perhaps
years, of litigation can bring him
back to Matteawan aud then only in
one event that he be adjudged in
sane in the state to which he has (led.
Five men at least were actually
concerned in the escape besides Thaw.
l'he attendant of the hospital who had
charge of the gate has been placed
under arrest charged with aiding aud
abetting the escape.
The shades were drawn in Mattea
wan'a dormitories and the inmates
were getting their second sleep when
Thaw left ills room. He was fully
dressed. The milkman's cart was
rumbling on the road outside as he
walked through the storeroom and into
the yard of the asylum grounds.
Bainuin, sole attendant at the roud
gate, was pacing back and forth.
Long yea.s of residence at the
asylum and repeated declarations by
Thaw that he would never attempt to
obtain his freedom except by legal
means had established the madman's
Btatus as a "trusty." There was little
out of the p -dinary in his appearance
even at ho erly an hour.
A six-cylinder Packard touring car,
black and sixty-horsepower, followed
by a limousine, also black, loafed
lazily along the road as the milkman
drew near the gate. Thaw, apparent
ly unconcer ?d, waited till Barnum un
locked the t ite and swung it wide to
let the mil., nan enter. At the same
moment the two cars drew up on the
further side of the road opposite the
gate and at.Jd still.
As Barnuui stepped aside for the
milkman to drive inside the grounds
he heard the gravel crunch beneat'i
Thaw's feet, and looking up saw the
madman flash past him straight for
the waiting cars. With a shout Bar
num started in pursuit, but a flying
leap landed Thaw safe within the car.
The great wheels were slowly turning
before the keeper had fairly reached
the roadway. They were throwing up
cloud of dust before he had gone
twenty-five feet.
Down the roadway the cars sped.
Barnum dashed madly back into the
ground and locked the gate.
"Thaw's gone escaped! he shout
ed, bursting into Dr. kelb s prestfucu
And in a moment the hunt was on.
The great black cur flashed like a
thunderbolt through Storniville, ten
miles east of Matteawan. along the
road to the Connecticut line. Early
risers in the little hamlet saw threo
men and Thaw crouching low to es
cape the sweep of their rush through
the air. They were going seventy
miles an hour. They were ten minutes
out of Matteawan. Storniville
marveled at their speed and watched
them melt away in the dust of the
state road.
One of the queer kinks in the pres
ent situation is that even if Thaw la
located and caught In some other
state than New York there is great
doubt in the minds of the authorities
that he can be brought back to this
state. He has legally been adjudged a
public menace and for this reason hn
lias been confined In Matteawan, out
he Is not lefially a murderer, as a jury
has acquitted' him of any criminal
chnrge.
As the matter stards now there is
good reason to believe that Thuw will
go scot free for the rest of his llfo
unless he attempts to re-enter New
York state. The plan of escape haa
been perfected for several months.
There Is no question of that. Dr.
Raymond F. C. Kleb, superintendent
of the asylum, believes that th.i
method of escape was planned sev
eral months ago. Dr. Kleb has been
superintendent since June 12. He win
appointed after the legal proceedings
Involving Thaw, which caused the dis
missal of Dr. John Itussell. the for
mer superintendent, iipiilnst whom
some testimony was brought that
Thaw had planned to use money to
get away.
EVELYN GUARDED BY POLICE
Wife Fears Harry Will Carry Out
Threats to Kilt.
Uniformed police stood guard at
very entrance to the hotel where
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw is staying in
New York city. Always fearful of
her husband, she showed her terror to
a marked dtgree on learning thut he
vas at lan;e. Hor mother, Mrs.
Charles J. Ilolman, was friglitencr'
even more than she and urged Mr.
Thaw to go Into seclusion until Thaw
is found.
"Harry has threatened to kill mc,':
Noted Prisoner Makes Clean
Getaway From Matteawan
-'4i' '

9) 1912, by Ameiicuu i're Association.
HARRY K. THAW.
Mrs. Thaw said, "and I believe my
presence in New York has prompted
him to escape. Four years ago he told
me: 'I suppose I'll have to kill you
next.' Many men will have cause for
fear new tnat lie is free. Us con
siders Dr. Austin Flint his worst
enemy .and undoubtedly will try to
make trouble for him.
"The state of New York has. a great
deal to answer for in this case. What
Harry Thaw has been allowed to do at
Matteawan is an outrage to think of
bribery connived at and keepers
bullied by all the power of his money,
And now he Is allowed to escape. I
suppose $20,000 or ,"0,000 look pretty
good to some people.'
"What makes you think he will
keep his threat to shoot you?" Evelyn
was asked.
"He miglt not do it it he didn't
drink, but he will get something to
drink and then there is no telling
what he will do. He was drunk ths
night he shot Stanford White. He is
a wild man when he drinks. It needs
only a little to start him off."
Mrs. Thaw was asked If her hus
band cherished animosity against
others.
"Yes, he does," she answered. "He
hates Dr. Flint end has threatened
him. We are both in danger if he ever
comes to New York."
Asked if he wasn't sore on Jerome
and Judge Dowling, she said he was
not.

Signiiicant Developments
MADQ WON'T RECEIVE DIAZ
England Lets It Be Known That Its
Recognition of Huerta Was Con
tingent on Election Taking Place.
The probability that President Wil
son will have the sympathy and moral
support of the powers for the policy
he has evolved for settling the Mexi
can problem was emphasized by two
developments.
One was the reported Intimation by
the Japanese government to the Mexi
can diplomatic representative at Toklo
that the miuado will not receive Gen
eral Felix Diaz whom President
Iiuerta has sent as envoy te extend
the thanks of Mexico for Japanese
participation in the Mexican centennial
celebration.
The other development that is re
garded as significant Is a statement
bv the British foreign office which
says that Great Britain, recognizing
the Huerta government, made it clear
that it regarded Huerta as a pro
visional president who was expected
to rule only until a constitutional elec
tion was hold.
These two developments bear out
the statement already made that
President Wilson has reason to feel
conlident of the sympathy if sot the
active co-operation of the powers In
his attempt at quieting Mexlce.
President Wilson severely resrt
nianded Ambassador Henry Lane Wil
son for his action in issuing a state
ment criticising the British foreign
ollice.
The president and Secretary Bryen
had seriously considered dismissing
the ambassador from the diplomatic
service, but finally decided upon the
reprimand. The rebuke te the ambas
sador was in the form of an apology
by this government to the British
foreign office and a public statement
by Secretary Bryan.
Secretary Bryan after a conference
with the president sent the following
cablegram to Ambassador Page in
London:
"The interview given to the press
by Mr. Henry Lane Wilson, whose
resignation as ambassador, to Mexico
has been accepted to take effect at
the end of his vacation, Oct. 1, havli.g
been brought to the president's atten
tion, he directs me to ask you to call
at the British foreign office and say
to Sir Kdw.ird C.rey that he disclaims
all responsibility for Mr. Wilson's ac
tion in the matter and for the languare
employed by him in his interview,
and that he regrets exceedingly that a
diplomatic rfiiclnl in the employ of this
government. - should have been guilty
of such an impropriety."
Secretary Bryan not only gave the
above to, the press, but Issued the
following statement: "A copy of the
cablegram to the American embassy
was sent to Ambassador Wilson. Mr.
Bryan add d that the president did
not go farther at this time because he
takes it for granted that the action
which he is obliged to take in this
matter will be to him (Ambassador
Wilson) a sufficient reminder of his
ollicial duties."
It is believed in the capital that the
president's reason for not dismissing
the ambassador is that he is loath to
give him the freedom to talk on
Mexican affairs which dismissal would
carry. By r-talning Mr. Wilson in the
state department service on a leav
of absence status the president may
rely upon '''e ambassador's sense of
ills ollicial duty to restrain hiniBelf
from talking freely on matters of
which lie lias such an intimate know
ledge. Ambassador Wilson, it is believed,
would bnve preferred actual dismissal
to the huu.lliiiting reprimand which
he bus been forced to swallow because
he spoke c-it in answer to what he
thought to he a reflection upon him by
the British foreign office. He has
repeatedly requested that his resigna
tion, which was put In the hands of
the president In March, be accepted
and it was only at the request of the
president that he consented to tako
the usual two months' leave of
absence.
