Thaw’s Fate to Be Determined Wednesday.

The fate of Harry K. Thaw, slayer of Stanford White, will probably be decided Wednesday. Thaw is fighting hard to prove that he is sane and thereby gain his liberty instead of going back to Matteawan asylum. The case will be decided by a jury. Many expert physicians have examined Thaw and testified. One specialist says Thaw is entirely rational and another states that he is insane. Thaw’s wife, Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw, has not testified against him but she has stated that she thinks that he is not sane and should he gain his liberty he will molest her little son.
