AM Efforts to Save Him Are Unavail
ing—Dies in 8eattle Hospital
Yesterday.
Robert Cawley, the only son of Mr.
and Mrs. James Cawley, died yester
day at a Seattle hospital, where he
had been taken in hopes of saving
his life after tubercular meningitis
had set in. The news was received i
Sunday in a message to George
White, an intimate friend of the fam
ily.
Mr. Cawley is at present in Port
Wells, but will be notified of the sad
death Of his son On the first boat
leaving for the mining camp. Mrs.
Cawley was with the boy during his
illness and at the time or his death,
as she had taken him from Valdez
to Seattle in the hope that the warm
er climate would build him up after
the severe attack of whooping cough
which he suffered last spring.
In spite of every effort the little lad
grew worse until on Saturday Mrs.
Cawley wired to Mr. White to inform
her husband that the lad was dying
and yesterday he passed away.
The boy was a general favorite in
Valdez and the parents have the
sympathy of this community in the
loss of an only son.
Funeral services will be held to
morrow in Seattle, where the inter
ment will take place.

THAW IS SANE
SAYS U.’ S. COURT
(Continued from page 1.)
In applying for admission to bail,
Thaw pleaded that outers indicted
with him for the same offense had
been admitted to bail, and further
that he was under great expense for
keepers and their board, Mr. Jerome
ridiculed the contention that Thaw
was burdened by the expense of his
keepers and their board, and said
that "Thaw should be put where men
of his class belong, in the lockup.” ;
Mr. Jerome, in contending that
Thaw, if at large, would be a men- ;
ace to the community, offered toj
quote the opinions of various New i
York state jurists to sustain his po
sition. Judge Aldrich did not care,
to hear these opinions. Mr. Jetcme
Hared up and said the decisions “were
entitled to some respect, even if they ;
did emanate front state judges.”
It is expected that the rase Will
drag along for several years before
the supreme court can render a de
cision on the constitutional questions
involved in the case. Thaw was in
d'cted for the crime of conspiracy
to escape from Matlewan prison while
as an insane patient he is unable to
commit a. crime, according to law.
Thaw is in the custody of the Unit
ed States marshal and the state sher
iff pending the decision of the ha
beas corpus now under consideration
by the federal court.
It is estimated that the Thaw case
has cost the stale of New York $400,
000, of which Jerome has received a
large share as fees in fighting the
many attempts of Thaw to be freed.
