Thaw Contests New York Custody In Habeas Plea
Attorney for Harry K. Thaw filed in federal court an answer to New York's habeas corpus action seeking to stay Governor Welker's extradition warrant. Thaw argues custody under the New York warrant was illegal, lacking due process, and that Sheriff Drew is not entitled to continued custody. He says the commitment lacked trial or proper findings on sanity and that the statute provides no adequate relief from oppressive custody.
