they were ranged in tiers, standing on

Judge Globensky's refusal to enter (

representing New York, was greeted
with wild outburst of cheering by q /

rising, bowed in acknowledgment.
'Hooray for the British flag! Hooray4
for Harry Thaw!" shrieked men and
women, standing on chairs, waving
handkerchiefs, parasols and hats.
Thaw bowed three times, like a

over chairs and benches to shake thel
hand of Thaw, swept aside court at
tendants and uniformed Dominion po-

bench. But Thaw eluded them and
slipped into an ante-room used as the]
press headquarters. Ten minutes later
he was on his way back to the Sher-
brooke jail A great crowd on the court
house steps cheered again as he de-
scended.
