ANOTHER WRIT FOR THAW

Justice Gaynor Orders White’s Slayer Produced In Court. New York, June 15. —Harry K. Thaw may have another chance to prove his sanity in his fight for release from the Matteawan asylum. s Justice William J. Gaynor granted a new writ of habeas corpus returnable before Justice Mills in the supreme court at White Plains, N. Y., on Thursday, June 17. Justice Mills issued a similar writ for Thaw last June. This writ kept Thaw out of Matteawan for awhile and he spent last summer in the Poughkeepsie jail. In October, Justice Mills denied the motion for a jury hearing as to Thaw's sanity. When the appellate division, ten days ago, affirmed the decision of Justice Mills, denying a jury hearing, Justice Gaynor wrote a dissenting opinion.
