    [When the photo was taken, Thaw was freezing . . .] Having escaped from a New York insane asylum in 1913 and fled to Canada, Harry K. Thaw, the murderer of Architect Stanford White, was extradicted back over the border to the U. S., then spent several months in limbo in Concord, New Hampshire, resisting return to New York for a trial on escape charges. He finally was hauled back to NY on January 23, 1914. In 1915 he was judged restored to sanity, and let off scott free. Another Bain/LOC photo of Harry Thaw, in the sheriff's office in Concord, NH (Click on the photo for further links and text):

Coaticook Ct. House (LOC)

  • Richard Norton said:
    Harry Kendall Thaw fled to Canada in 1913. William Lewis Shurtleff was his lawyer for the extradition at this courthouse. Thaw had murdered Stanford White because White had had sex with Evelyn Florence Nesbit before she became Thaw's wife. Nesbit at the trial described the intimate relationship with White including the velvet swing he kept in one of his apartments. The story was fictionalized in Ragtime.

    In July, 1915, Thaw had a jury trial solely on the issue of his present sanity, bearing on whether he would be returned to the Matteawan State Hospital from which he had escaped 2 years earlier.
    The trial was in the Tweed Courthouse, still standing on Chambers Street. This picture is more likely to be Thaw heading to court, rather than leaving, as it looks like he is on Centre and Chambers, walking toward the courthouse.
    That would put it in front of the Manhattan Municipal Building, which has an arched pathway through its center.

    Thaw Trial -- crowd outside court (LOC)

    Reflecting further, I suppose he could be on the presumably identical inside of the passageway, therefore heading away from court.
