After two sensationalized trials he was found not guilty by reason of insanity and sentenced to incarceration for life at the Matteawan State Hospital for the Criminally Insane in Fishkill, New York. In 1913 Thaw walked out of Matteawan and fled to Canada. He returned to the US and in December 1914 was extradited to New York. In a 1915 trial he was found no longer insane and set free.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'The Traitor' is a compelling autobiographical account and personal defense written by Harry K. Thaw, a figure central to one of the most notorious scandals in American history. This work provides Thaw's own perspective on the events leading up to and following the 1906 killing of the prominent architect Stanford White at Madison Square Garden. Known as the 'Crime of the Century,' the event and the subsequent legal battles captivated the nation, and here Thaw offers his side of the narrative.The book delves into Thaw's relationship with his wife, Evelyn Nesbit, his perceived motivations of honor and protection, and his experiences within the American justice and mental health systems. Thaw reflects on the high-society dynamics of the Gilded Age, the intense media scrutiny of the era, and the legal strategies that eventually led to his acquittal by reason of insanity. As a primary source, 'The Traitor' serves as both a psychological self-portrait and a historical document that explores the intersection of wealth, obsession, and the law in the early 20th century. It is a vital read for those interested in true crime, legal history, and the social history of New York's elite.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
