Thaw decision keeps Harry K Thaw in Dutchess jail
In Poughkeepsie on September 3 1910 an order to move Harry K Thaw from Dutchess County Jail was denied. The case centers on sanity and confinement, with Thaw’s habeas corpus petitions winding through the courts. Authorities argue the jail is unsuitable for an insane patient, while Thaw fights for release to a state hospital or Matteawan. Judge Mills set a September 21 hearing for a possible jury trial on sanity, and comity restrains further action by Judge Morschauser.
