THAW is PLEASED
OVER JEROME'S FIX
As Well as by New Legal Knot Which
Prevented His Immediate Derorta-
ton Into the United States.

Coaticook, Que, Sept. 6.-Harry X.
Thaw will be produced before the full
Kings bench, appeal side, at Montreal
on the morning of Sept. 10. Meantime
he may be detained here, or at Sher.
brooke, or taken to Montreal on a mo-
ment's notice, at the discretion Of the
immigration authorities. Two of his
counsel, j. n. Greenshields and y. X.
Lafiamme, obtained double writ. ha-
beas corpus and prohibition. at Mont
real Yesterday and whirled in a special
train to Coaticook, where not long be-
fore, the immigration authorities had
ordered Thaw's deportation from the
Dominion.
Counsel for Thaw who had remained
in Coaticook had announced that the
writ was returnable forthwith and a
special train was Inade up to take the
prisoner to Montreal last night. a great
crowd collected about the station where
Thaw was confined and il was not until
8 o'clock that it became known that
he might remain here several days be-
cause the writ is not returnable until
Sept. l5.
There were cheers when the writ ar
rived and more applause whenever
Thaw's face appeared at the window Of
the detention room. When the special
train pulled out for Montreal without
Thaw aboard, there were cries of dis
appointment, then more cheering when
the news got abroad that for Thaw the
new move meant ten days delay.
Not only by the writ secured in Mont
real but by the action Of his attorneys
on appeal did Thaw block his deporta-
tion. In addition he had the pleasure
able knowledge that his old enemy, Will
liam Travers Jerome, had been charged
with gambling.
Jerome's arrest was due to two causes
and was not pre- mpttd in any way by
the Thaw lawyers, who expressed indig-
nation at the move and said they were
ready to aid him. What the arrest real
lv signified was the state of public opin-
ion here as decidedly pro-Thaw and
more decidedly anti-Jerome. In the sec
ond place there is split in the town
council over Chief of Police John Boud
reau, Thaw's original captor and subse-
quent petitioner for the writ of habeas
corpus which forced Thaw out of Jail
at Sherbrooke into the hands of the
immigration authorities Some of the
aldermen contend that Boudreau was in
fuenced and acted unwisely in the ha-
.beas corpus matter and should resign.
Among his opponents is A. A. Hopkins,
chairman of the police committee of the
council. Hopkins employs in his grist
mill Milford Aldrich, the complainant
against Jerome. Aldrich says he acted
as jealous citizen and his contention
was sustained by A. c. Hanson, joint
crown prosecutor, who caused the war
rant to be issued.
eve were shocked" said Hanson, "to
see Mr.. Jerome playing cards for money
in public and it was our duty to arrest
him. Little children saw him and were
talking about it. We have never had
another arrest Of its kind here II Je-
rome tries to leave this jurisdiction, he
will be arrested"
Mr.. Jerome left town in his automo-
bile syesterday afternoon. 1t was ex-
planned that he had gone for ride"

tion. decision which was rendered aft
er 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the
