- HIGHEST COURT Federal Supreme Judges Re- verse Lower Tribunal. NUST RETURNTONEW YORK Fugitive From Matteawan Asylum for Criminal Insane Will Be Turned Over to Empire State Officials to | Stand Trial on Charge of Conspiracy. Washington, Dec. 22—Harry K. Thaw must go back to New York' state to face trial on the charge of conspiracy as a result of the decision of the supreme court. The court re- versed the decision of the TUnited Btates court in New Hampshire, which granted Thaw’s writ of habeas cor. pus. {~.Thaw was committed to the Mattea- _wan insane hospital in New York fol- lowing the murder of Stanford White. He escaped from Matteawan in an < automobile and fled to Canada. , After a series of legal battleg and “wild flight in automobiles Thaw re- turned to the United States. He went to New Hampshire. He is still there "and it is from that state that he has waged his fight against’' extradition to New York. The case was fought out through the lower courts and then apealed to the supreme court of the United States. ¥ Whether his escape from the asy- lum, as his counsel contended he was insane, constituted a crime, and other questions the court dismissed with the comment that they could not enter in- to a habeas corpus proceeding and that they are proper questions for the state of New York to decide. Actually the celebrated Thaw case —the killing of Stanfard White—was not before the supreme court. Merely the guestion of returning Thaw on the <conspiracy indictment was up for de- cision.
