Thaw Granted Sanity Verdict Sparks Release Hope
Philadelphia April 23 After seven years in a Philadelphia asylum Harry Kendall Thaw is adjudged sane by a jury and may soon be free. The jury deliberated nearly seven hours before returning a verdict for the millionaire plaintiff. Opponents moved for a new trial, delaying freedom briefly as Thaw again faces a New York perverted assault indictment. Evelyn Nesbit, Thaw’s ex wife, predicts further sensational action and questions his sanity despite the ruling. She accuses Thaw and associates of money influence and warns for her safety and that of her son.
