deportment. Confinement for years in
an insane asylum has so subdued and
sobered the young slayer of Stanford
White that when he was asked if he
cared to stay in New York in a
fashionable hotel for the night he
replied: “No, I should prefer to go
back to Matteawan.”
Thaw was brought to town on a
of habeas corpus to appear in
of a suit which has been
brought againt his mother, Mrs.
William Copley Thaw, by Lawyer
John B. Gleason in the federal court.
Thaw was brought from the asylum
to testify. Gleason brings suit for
