The motion was granted and Judge Monaghan, before whom the case Q. 1. REITALER was heard, held Thaw in the custody of the court pending its disposition. Thaw was not in court when the verdict was announced. He received the news at the Ritz-Carlton hotel Where he had taken dinner with his mother, Only a fair sized crowd was in the court room when the jury, led by Joseph Plunkett, the aged foreman, filed in. Judge Monaghan had warn- ed the spectators against any demon- stration and the verdict was received in silence. Thaw was admitted to the asylum after he had been indicted in New York for the alleged whipping of Frederick Gump, Jr., a high school boy. New York police were searching for him when he was found in West Philadelphia apartment house with his throat cut.

Stokes’ petition states that Wey- mouth Kirkland, Chicago counsel for Stokes, was retained only to argue a motion to quash and that the defendant 1s not ready for trial nd that Attorney Nugent employed rank T- Jordan as counsel to rep- resent them both in the Cook county courts, Jordan being in possession of information which he has refused to turn over to Kirkland, Stokes alleges, because Stokes has refused to pay Jordan's fees. He also de- clares that Nugent rendered a bill which he considered too high and refused to pay and that Nugent is now suing him in New York and is in a position “to exculpate himself by prejudicing me.” The petition CITED FOR CONTEMPT. Possibility that those who advise residents of Lavoye against compli- ance with the decree issued hero may be elted for contempt along with those who refuse to vacate was held out today by District Attorney Walton.
