ALBANY, Aug. 18—Both John B.

Thaw answered: “It may cause me to return to Europe sooner than I expected. 1 do not know myself if this will alter my plans, I will have to walt until definite word ef where Thaw ts comes to light before 1 oan know.” When asked to detail the oft reported threat Thaw made to kill her, Mrs. Thaw gave the circumstances as followa: “ome time about four years ago T jras up at Matteawan visiting Thaw ‘nd hed dinner with him.

A sweeping Investigation of the es cape of Thaw was ordered to-day by Superintendent of Privons Tn ads dition he planned to leave here about 3 o'clock thie afternoon personally to examing all of the oMciuls of the asylum. Lieut.-Gov, Glynn inquired for news about Thaw soon as he reached his office, shortly after 11 o'clock. He said he had deen making such Inquirtes into; the law and precedents touching such cases as had been possible over Sunday. Asa result he belleved the only chance of Thaw being brought back from an- other State rested on that State taking the initiative, such as delaring him to be insane and returning him on the ground of public incumbrance, ‘The telegram of Supt. Riley was ad dressed simply to “Hon. Martin H. Glynn.” Supt. Riley's telegram to Gov. Sulzer was addressed in similar form. At the office of the Attorney-General attention was called to the fact that Attorney-General Carmody had appenied from the order granted some time ago by Supreme Court Justice Tompkins permitting Thaw to confer with his counsel without a guard standing near- by. That appen! acted as a stay to the order and {s still pending. It was not known whether Supt, Riley or Supt, Kleb, both recent appointees, had been instructed specifically on that point Mr. Riley was in his office when @ messenger from Gov, Sulzer whispered to him to and he went immediately to the Executive chamber. It was reported that friends of Sulzer believed the Su- perintendent of Prisons, who ie a per- sonal friend and appointee of the elected Governor, had made a grave tactical error ip recognising Glynn by reporting to him, “I want to na , Thaw's atto: was In conference with him In the asylum on Friday afternoon, They had their interview In private un- der an order of the Supreme Court Thaw was the only person haying this privilege.

Many young women of the stage were mentioned as frequenters of these “studios,” including some of the original “Florodora” company. Some of Thaw's lawyers have fallen under the law's ban, notably Daniel O'Relily, who suffered severely in reputation by reason of his con- nection with the case, and was disbarred later and sentenced to a term in prison, Clifford W, Hartridge sued Harry Thaw's mother for $100,000 fees, He was subsequently before the Bar Association on a chai of spending $89,000 for bribing witnesses not to appear against Thaw. John N. Anhut, accused in February last of an attempt to bribe an oficial with $20,000 to connive at Thaw's escape from Matteawan, found guilty and sentenced to four years in prison. Automatically disbarred, In the testimony of this case, other men mentioned unfavorably were Goy, Sulzer, William A. Clark and Alfred Henry Lewis. The litigation in many courts over Thaw's mental and legal status has cost the Thaw family not less than a miliion dollars, not includ- ing another million or more which various le vyers have claimed for servic Most of these claims have been contested in the courts, with accusations of greed and graft. | | { | ee ———— privilege of so many secret conferences!
