Sir John Spencer Ewart, as Adjutant- !Gdilflral to the forces. The two generals today‘eemed do. termlned not to withdraw their resig- nations, as they considered they had received a rebuff by the government’s repudiation of the «guarantees they had promised to Brig.Cen.

March 27.—-Tlle final brief on 'behall of Harry K Thaw, 0:1 his petition for a writ of habeas corpus and for admission to bail pending a decision on the mat. ter of extradition, were filed in the United States District Court by coun- sel today. The document lays stress upon the claim that the statute under which Thaw originally was committed to the insane asylum, at Matteawan, N. l, is unconstitutional, and therefore it was not a crime for him to escape from custody; that an insane person cannot commit a crime, and accord- ingly cannot «be extradited on a charge of committing a crime; that Thaw’s sanity or insanity must be de- cided before it can be determined that there is jurisdiction to extradite him; and that he is not a fugitive from jus- tice within the meaning of the federal Constitution. 'As to bail counsel maintains that ball in a misdemeanor case is a mat- ter of right. The brief concludes: “The purpose of the state of New York being to, return Thaw to 'Mattea- wan, it is making a misuse of the ex- tradition laws to accomplish its end. We confidently assert that upon the facts and authorities, Thaw should be discharged."
