WHITE PLAINS, N T , August 7.
In a cell at the White I'luins Jail,
Harry K. Thaw awaits the. decision
that will hohl him sane or declare
him u lunittie. The hearing in the Su
preme court in the habeas corpu pro
ceedings against the state of New
York ended this ainlcrnooii when his
attorney, Charles Slum hauler, sum
med up his ease. District Attorney
Jerome preceded Mr. Morsehauser
this morning. Justice Isaac N. Mills
eald thai he will emit. t or to hand
down his decision Thursday morning
next.
Mrs. Mary Copeiy Thaw, the pris
oner's mother, with her daughter
Alice,, the Countess of Yarmouth, and
her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and
Mrs. Joeiuh Thaw, will remain here
until Harry Thaw's fate is settled.
Thaw':', mother, brother and sister
have niri missed a day in court since
the hearing begun, and Mrs. Thaw's
statement: show that if this case much
against her son, she will !"se no time
in trying to free him hy other means.
While habeas corpus actions like
the one Just closed are open to Thaw
indefinitely, it is likely that if Justice
Mills rules agulnst him, he will hang
his hopes next upon the Court of Ap
peals. No Outbursts.
The addresses of District Attorney
Jerome and Mr. Morsehauser today
were alike free from the outbursts
of oratory that characterized the two
homicide trials.
Of Thaw himself, Mr. Jerome spoke
pityingly a "that poor boy."
