THAW FREE AT LAST
SLAYER OF STANFORD WHITE
RELEASED ON BOND.
JUDGE CONFIRMS JURY'S ACT
\
Famous Murder Case Cost Thaw
Family About $1,375,000; State
of New York, $425,000.
New York.— Harry K. Thaw, who
killed Architect Stanford White on
the nignt of June 26, 1906, July 16
walked from the courtroom a free
nan, after Justice Hendrick had con
firmed the jury's finding that Thaw
is sane, the state had served notice
of appeal and a security company
had furnished $35,000 bond for Thaw.
Justice Hendrick revoked the com
mitment under which Thaw was con
fined to Mattewan asylum for the
criminal insane after his trial for the
slaying of White.
“1 adopt the findings of the jury,"
announced Justice Hendrick. "My
decision is based on my judgment
and the advice of friends. I won't
speak of this evidence. The impress
ive testimony of sanity is practically
overwhelming. The testimony of paid
experts on either side, in my estima
tion. is of no value, and I now declare
Harry K. Thaw to be sane.”
Hendrick, speaking of the employ
ment of alienists in insanity cases
and murder trials, said:
“I hope that this evil will be cor
rected by the medical profession or
the h gislature. The state could meet
the situation by appointing an expert
to examine all defendants.”
The Thaw case was the most fa
mous and the costliest murder case
in the annals of crime in this coun
try. It has cost the Thaw family
about $1,375,000 and the state of New
York $425,000.

Detroit. Mich.—The Ford Automo

pany announced that if 31*0,000 ma
chines were sold during the ensuing
year each purchaser wold receive
from $40 to $00. The 300.000 mark

May Purchase Invention.
Washington, D. C. — Government
purchase of the wireless control for
torpedoes, invented by John Hays
Hammond, jr., probably will be rec
ommended to congress by Secretary
Garrison. The appropriation commit
tees during the closing days of the
last congress were urged to provide
for securing the new device for pro
tecting the coast, but no action was
taken. Officials of the ordnance and
fortifications believe a concealed
shore station may absolutely control
a submerged torpedo within the
limits of vision and that an approach
ing battleship would have little
chance to escape.

Chicago.—Officials of the traction
companies have announced that the
award of the arbitration board in
creasing the wages of its employes
would be accepted. The award in
creased the pay of conductors and
motormen 3 cents an hour. The in
crease in wages granted the men is
retroactive to June 1, when the old
agreement expired. It is estimated
that the cost to the company will be
about $1,500,000 a year.

“Young farmer box's become dissatis

leave to see the world.” says the re
port. “While bumming they land
with bad associates and commit some
