New York, Aug. 18. Harry K.
Thawt slayor of Stanford White, es
caped from Matteawan on Sunday.
Ho mado his daring dash for liberty
n a taxlcab.
From Mrs. Evelyn Nesblt Thaw the
authorities learned that Thaw mado
his escape on a yacht from Roton
Point, near South Norwalk, Conn.
Sho did not reveal the source of in
formation. Within an hour after his dash for
liberty he had crossed the line divid
ing the states of New York and Con
necticut and he is beyond the reach
of the Now York authorities. It is
bellevad that oxtrndictlon 1b Impossi
ble) and that Thaw's freodom is as
sured unloBs he Is held for insanity
in another state and committed to
some asylum there.
Thaw's escape was one of the most
dramatic affairs of the kind ever re
corded. After knocking down a
gateman, who was admitting a milk
man to the Matteawan asylum
grounds, he leaped Into a taxlcab
standing just outsldo the wall. This
was headed for the Connecticut state
lino and the moment Thaw entered
the chauffeur put on full speed and
dashed away. Before a half mile
liad been covered by the taxlcab It
overtook a six-cylinder touring car
that had been moving slowly, also
toward the Connecticut line. The
taxi-cab slackened speed and Thaw
leaped out as the smaller machine
drew alongside tho touring car. The
door of the latter was open and Thaw
leaped aboard. As tho door slammed,
the touring car speeded away at a
rate at least eighty miles an hour.
The machine dashed through Storm
vlllo, N. Y., fourteen miles from the
asylum, without any diminution of
speed and, according to late reports,
received by the asylum authorities,
crossed the Connecticut line In the
Yiclnity of New Canaan. Conn.
Dr. Raymond Charles Francis Klob,
superintendent of Matteawan, be
lieves that Thaw's escape was the
result of a carefully planned and well
executed conspiracy. He received In
formation a few hours after Thaw's
escape that led him to believe, he
said, that tho fugitive had boon car-
rled to a Connecticut seaport town,
where a yacht had been waiting on
shore to take him aboard.
Tho superintendent ordered the ar
rest of Howard Barnum, tho asylum
guard who was on duty at tho time
the wealthy young slayer broke away
from the institution, to which he wan
committed on February 1, 1908. Doc
tor Kleb was appointed superintend
ent on June 6 of thiB year, succeeding
Dr. John W. Russell. Doctor Russell
was dismissed as the result of an al-
loged $20,000 bribery plot for the re-
lease of Thaw. John N. Anhut. a
young lawyer, Is now serving a prison
sentence ior nis participation in tue
bribery conspiracy.
Ever since Thaw was sent to Mat
teawan, more than five years ago,
his mother, Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw
of Pittsburgh, has spent hundreds of
thousands of dollars In attempts to
have him freed legally from restrain.
As soon as Evelyn Nesblt Thaw
heard of her husband's escape she
asked for protection. She declared
she believed her life In danger and,
accordingly, she was given police pro
tection. She Is also being guarded by
a private detective hired by Arthur
Hammerateln.
The theatrical cBcape of Harry K.
Thaw from the State Hospital for tho
Criminal Insane at Matteawan adds
another act to the sensational trag
edy that bad Its beginning In New
York city on tho night of June 25,
1906. On that occasion, in company
with his young wife, Evelyn Nesblt
Thaw, and two frlonds, Thaw went
to the Madison Square roof garden
to witness tho opening performance
of a musical comedy. Near the clpse
of the, performance Thaw left his seat
and began to pace back and forth
in the aisle behind the seats 'occupied
by Stanford White, an architect of
international fame, and his son.
In this setting Thaw drew a re
volver and fired three bullets Into
Stanford White's body. The archi
tect died almost Instantly. Thaw was
then arrested by a policeman. Thaw
at the time of the tragedy was twenty-seven
years old and was known aa
"tho young spendthrift millionaire."

cept the document for President Huer
ta and his cabinet and study It.
It would appear now that as the
message has been In the possession
of tho government since Thursday

chance for Its acceptance.

his intentions, he said It was undo

Sulzer's plan to invoke the arbitrament
of the courts on tho question whether
he or Martin H. Glynn Is now the law
ful governor of New York was check
mated on Friday by tho lleutehnt gov
ernor. Replying to a formal proposal by the
Impeached executlvo to submit tho is
buo to adjudication on an agreed state
ment of facts, Mr. Glynn declared It
was beyond his. power to "barter away
any of the functions attaching to the
'office In which I am placed by your Im
peachment," "Any attempt on my part to do so,"
he said, "or to stlpulato a method by
which it might be duuo,1 would proper'
ly placo me in the position you now oc
cupythat of being impeached for
malfeasance In office."
Mr. Glynn declared further that ho
proposed to perform every function of
the office of governor "except In so far
as I am restrained by your Illegal ac
tion or by pUysical force."
Tho announcement of the lieutenant
governor's policy came late at night
and followed negotiations between tho
respective counsel of the two men In
tho afternoon, which it was then sup
posed had resulted In a virtual agree
ment to tako tho case to the court of
appeals.
The letter was delivered to Mr, Sul
zer at. the executive mansion.

Lphy followers suggested, through their
spokesman, that Mr. Glynn turn out a
regiment of tho National Guard, which
Ts ready to obey his command, and
forcibly wrest the scepter of govern
ment from Mr. Sulzer,
Again Mr. Glynn shook his head.
It Is the purpose of Mr. Sulzer's
counsel, who contend that indictments
for high treason against Tammany Boss
Murphy and his lieutenants will bo
asked for,' to maintain beforo tho court
of impeachment that Tammany Hall
coercion brought about the Impeach
ment of Mr. Sulzer.
The serious condition of Mrs. Sulzer
necessitated tho recall of Dr. Robert
Abrahanis from Now York. No official
bulletin was forthcoming from the ex
ecutive mansion concerning Mrs. Sul
zer, but an afternoon bulletin, dictated
by Dr. Abrahams after he had learned
of tho patient's condition over the tel-
phone, stated that sho was "still In a

8tory of the Executive's Fight
I With Tammany.
Albany, N. Y. William Sulzer, gov
ernor of New York, has been Impeach
ed by tho lowor houso of tho stato leg

perjury and laroeny of campaign funds
and with other slightly less sorlous of
fenses. An Important part of tho chargo Id
that Mr. Sulzor diverted campaign
contributions to his private use and
Invested them In Btocks. Just beforo
tho impeachment Mrs. Sulzor made a
statement to tho effect that she had
takon part of tho campaign money and
bought stocks with it in Wail street.
Sho will probably take the wltnoss
stand at tho trial to toll this story.
Charges Against Sulzer
Stripped of their logal verbiage, Uuo
articles of Impeachment against Gov
ernor Sulzer are as follows:
i That Governor Sulzer, In filing

set forth that his entire receipts wore
$5,4C0 and hla expenditures $7,724;
that this statement "was false and
was Intended by him to b" false;" that
his list of receipts failed to Include

and that ho wns "guilty of willful and
corrupt perjury."
3 That Gpvornor Sulzer "was guilty
of raal and corrupt conduct In his of
fice as governor and was guilty or
bribing witnesses," Tho specific chargo
Is that whtlo tho Frawley cdmmltteo

paign accounts ho "fraudulently In
duced" three wltnosses (his campaign
manager, a personal friend, and a
slock bioker) "to withhold their testi
mony from said committee"
4 That the governor was guilty of
"Bupprosalng ovldonco" In violation of
the stato ponal law. The specific chargo
Is that ho "practiced deceit and fraud

tee from procuring tl;o attendance and
testimony of certain wltnesaos."
5 That tho governpr was guilty of
"preventing and dissuading a witness

Tho witness referred to Is Frederick L.
Colwell, alleged to havo acted as Sul
zer's agent In certain stock transac
tions, G That prior to his election tho
govornor appropriated campaign con
tributions to its own ubo, "and used
the samo, or t large part thereof, In
speculating In stocks , , . and
thoroby stole such checks and was
guilty of larceny,"
7 That Governor Sulzor promised
and threatened to use the authority
and Influence of his offlco for the pur
pose of affecting the vote or political
action of certain public officers, includ
ing two assembtymen.
8 That he "corruptly used his
authority as governor to affect the
prices of securities on tho New York
stock oxchange, In some of which ho
was speculating,"
How it All Started.
When Governor Sulzer, tho "peo
ples governor" and tne "poor mans
friend," refused to do the bidding of
Boss Murphy of Tammany Hall, tho
most remarkable political drama New
York state hnd ever seen was begun,
from that very moment Tammany
flail carried out a stendy and con
sistent program of warfare against
Fulzer and all things Sulzer, The gov
ornor replied In kind, as well as ho

of porjury, tho allegod offonBO having
boon committed, according to his ac
cuser, In 1890. That accusation didn't
seom to have much effect In the way
of ruining Sulzor, so suit was filed in
Philadelphia by n young woman
of tho name of Mlgnon (Folly)
Hopkins, charging Sulzer with
broach of promise. This action,
Sulzor said also, was a move on the ,
part of his political enemies. Miss
Hopkins asked $30,400 damages for her
wounded heart. Sulzer admitted nav-
Ing known Miss Hopkins some yeart
ago, but denied that he had ever pro
