Show erne in ti case oftnueo CONCORD, N. H., Feb. 21. Hoaring in the United States court in tho caso of Harry K. Thaw concluded today. William T. Jerome spoke in opposition to Thaw's petition for a writ of habeas ha-beas corpus and for admission to bail. Mr. .Toronto asked for permission to file supplementary briefs and was given ten days to do so. Thaw's counsel will reply ton days thereafter. Judge Al-drich Al-drich will theu render his decision. Mr. Jerome insisted that tho. indictment indict-ment found in New York, charging Thaw with conspiracy to oscapo from Mattcawan, was adoquato for the purpose pur-pose of extradition. It was roturued, ho said, on the Illegal purposo of alleged al-leged conspiracy and not on the moans employed to comploto it. That criminal crimi-nal purpose was clearly and sufficiently described in tho indictmont, he said. "Our charge" Joromo said, "is that tho minds o? the men named in the indictment met in conspiracy for the performance of an act of obstruction and perversion of justice." Mr. Jerome criticised tho commission which recently decided that Thaw, ro-lcasod ro-lcasod under hail, would not be a mon-uco mon-uco to tho community. He eaid that the investigation of tho commission was inadequate in that it took no account ac-count of tho evidence introduced at oarlior inquiries Into Thaw's sauity. Ho cited tho case of James W. Davis whom, ho said, Dr. Goorgo A. Blumer, a member mem-ber of tho Thaw commission, released from restraint as an insane person. Davis, ho wont on, recovered his sanity, sani-ty, but on obtaining his freedom promptly chopped off tho head of his sister-in-law, too person rogarding whom he cherished illusions. |
