WITH SMILE THAW ENTERS THE HOSPITAL

Man Who Killed Stanford White Is Hopeful That He Will Be Released From Insane Hospital Soon. WILL REMAIN THERE UN TIL SANITY IS PROVEN. I Will Get Out of There More Quickly and More Easily That I Got Out of the Other Place" Were His Words. EVELYN THAW TALKS SHE CLAIMED WHEN ALL WA CONSIDERED. THE VERDICT WAS GENERALLY SATISFACTORY TO RELATIVES. OLD RUMORS ARE AFLOAT. Asserted That Now Since Evelyn Has Told Her Story and Secured Harry Release Relatives Will Work For Divorce. New York. Feb. 1. At 7 o'clock tonight Harry K. Thaw entered the Hate asylum for criminal Insane at Mattewan, there to remain until a lunacy commission shall detcrniiue him sane enough to be released. Thaw was happy and cheerful and bade a smiling and hopeful farewell to lawyer Dau O'Reilly, who accompanied him from the tombs. I'll be out of here more quickly and more easily than I got out of the other place." he said. Evelyn Thaw reached her home on Park avenue at 4 :.". o'clock this afternoon. She stepped from her automobile, in which she had come up alone and hastily made for the door. When asked her impression concerning the finding of the jury f-he said: "Considering everything the verdict is satisfactory and all that could be expected under the circumstances. Further than that, 1 must not say anything, for my lawyers have forbidden me to tslk." Scarcely an hour later after the Terdict was rendered today members of the Thaw family were in conference with their lawyer as to the advisabil ity of applying for a writ of habeas corpus. Thaw was greatly enraged over being committed to an asylum and argued strenuously for an appli cation to be made. It was finally decided to defer this action at leat nntil next week. At 4:30 o'clock Thaw was taken on a traiu from the Grand Central sta tion to Mattewan. At 6: SO o'clock he arrived at Fishkill and was driven to the asylum to remain at lfast until his mental condition is determined. Tonight around the criminal courts building, there was revival of rumor that, now with Thaw out of jeopardy, his family is going to bring about a legal separation between him and Evelyn. Another old report was also revived to effect that Evelyn had received a very large sum of money, alleged to li $300,000. from the family for having remained loyal to Harry and his caune to the end of the trial. Neither of the reports has had authentic or official support. RAILROADS INDULGE IN DECEPTIVE METHODS During Weighing of Mails, Indulged in Unfair Tactics. Washington, D. C, Feb. 1.
