Only Afternoon Paper Between Richmond SECTION ONE. LAST EDITION. VOLUME 30. Thaw Was to Fight fir Freedom Secreted $120,000 That His renin) miki nucn auuui Until Today RELATIVES OF HARRY Will Fight Effort to Get Out of State Asylum for Crimi nal Insane (By Leased Wire to The Times.) New , York, April 22.---Vit ii Mrs. William Thaw prostrated by the news that her son, Harry K. Thaw Is mov ing to secure his release from Mat teawan, the whole family of the slayer of Stanford White today is preparing to fight to prevent his lib eration. This, despite the fact that it: has become known that Thaw has in hand $120,000 which he secreted alter his first trial, and which he will start to spend for freedom, when he apears, ns expected, in the Newbttrg . court Saturday morning in response to a habeas corpus order obtained for him by James C. Graham, his newest attorney. Startled as they were by the infor mation that Harry had money with which to fight for liberty, all of his blood will fight his plan. Just where Evelyn Thaw stands is not clear. Dan O'Reilly, her attorney, declares she will, if asked, testify to her hus band's sanity, but whether she will really speak in his favor is doubted, from the fact that his release would probably mean, on his part, a desper ate legal battle to told as his wife the woman for whom he.slew White. Thaw's mental condition, accord ing to the physicians at Matteawan, is the same as it has been since his Incarceration. Whether he is sane or not no one, so far, lias gone on rec ord to say, but that hia mind still re tains some cunning is now seen from t he way in which he is shown to have for months concealed the fact that he secreted the funds with which to bat tle for his freedom against all family oposillon. HARD WORK TO KHiHT lU'KIi. Itut Count and Legislator Finally Get , Their Iiiniiijs, Vienna, April 22 Count Stern burg and Herr Bergmann, a member of the Austrian parliament, had great difficulty in fighting a little duel, owing to the vigilanceiof the police; but they finally succeeded In cross ing swords In a lampllghted room. Herr Bergmann was wounded. The affair grew out of a quarrel during a session of parliament. Herr Borgmahn referred to Count Stern burg as a worthless nobleman. The challenge was forthcoming immedi ately. The police discovered the in tentions of the men and had them shadowed, as well as their seconds. Count Sternburg was the better swordsman. He was a valiant offi cer on the side of the Boers during the Transvaal war. When they met the police ham mered on the door for admittance. The duellists were reconciled and, supporting the man he had wounded, Count Sternburg and Bergmann walked past the police, arm in arm, thus avoiding arrest.
