PRISONS SECRETARY.

While's Slayer Has Extensive Quar
ters, Like Business Office, and
Discipline Is Demoralized.
Albany, X. Y., Sept. 2. A protest is
made in a report submitted to the
state commission of prisons Tuesday
by Secretary George McLaughlin
against the further confinement in the
Dm chess county jail at Poughkeepsie
of Harry K. Thaw, ae-;ilited on the
charge of murder on the ground of in
sanity. Xn: IcLar.gY.in's report is en
an inspect iosi lie iiiinle en .Augtit -1
last.
The report says in part:
"Mr. 'I haw has been held in il.ij
jail for several months pending tliL'
outcome of litigation, which, looks now
as though it might be inicrmiaal. His
presence iti this jail is embarrassing
to the flieriif and objectionable on
many ace.jnsus. The sheriff has no
room for him. except in the pa-bled
ceil; even this he needs for temporary
uses, and it would be an entirely unfit
place in which to confine a man for
months. Having been adjudged insane
with homicidal tendencies, the sheriff
would not be justified in confining him
! with the other prisoners, lie cannot
keep him in the quarters intended for
boys. To do so would compel him to
keep li3 boys with the adult prisoners,
which the law forbids. He cannot
f.eep him in the hospital room for two
reasons. First, it is not sufliciently
pectin scoii(i, it cannot be spared
i,r the ne.iiuu:er-.t occupancy oi .Mr.
i'h v.-.
