was procured on Thaw's behalf by
two members Of his legal staff, J.
N. Greenshieids and N. K. La
/Flamme.
The ground taken, it is said,
is that Thsw is not an immigrant
in the true sense Of the word.
The statement Of the Herald
lacks official confirmation.
Coaticook, Que, Sept. 6.-Although
Harry Thaw lost several points in his
favor in fighting extradition, he yet
has chance to defeat Jerome and the
MatteaWan officials. The fugitive will
be heard again by the immigration
authorities on questions relating to his
department.
Entered Canada by Stealth.
Unable to show that he had come
into the Dominion at any recognized
port OF entry, Thaw was practically
convicted OF entering by stealth and
on this charge alone he can be de.
ported. But on this charge he could
appeal to the minister of the int
rior, while no appeal would lie should
he be found insane at the present time
or to have been in an insane asylum
within five years.
If found of unsound mind now it is
within the discretion of the special
board of inquiry to deport Thaw di-
rect to the New York state line, pos
sibly to Rouse's Point
This would mean swift return to
Matteawan.
Conviction on either of the other
two charges would mean deportation
to Vermont.
Thaw on Stand Most Of Day.
The special board OF inquiry sat on
the Thaw case all day Thursday.
Thaw was on the stand most of the
day and made good witness.
Toward the close of the afternoon
session his inquisitors worked into the
question of his sanity, and though his
counsel violently objected, it was Of
no avail and this line, of Interrogation
will be taken up again today.
Although staving off deportation for
the day, Thaw lost in two particulars.
His lawyers were denied writ OF
prohibition. by Superior Judge Hutch
inson at Sherbrooke, the same judge
who sustained the writ of habeas cor.
pus which cast Thaw out of the Sher.
brooke jail Wednesday, and he failed
to establish before the board the con.
tention that he had entered Canada as
a tourist and, like Jack Johnson,
should be allowed to continue to his
destination.
jerome Waits for Prisoner.
William Travers jerome spent an
impatient day waiting for something
to happen. AS chief of the New York
forces he hoped to have Thaw across
the border by evening. His automo
bile stood all day near the railway
station in the second story of which
Thaw is held, and all day Jerome
strobe up and down the station plat
form. Twenty other automobiles were
ready for the dash to the line, nine
miles away.
Thaw resented keenly the questions
as to his sanity. If this were to be
taken up, he commended, he should be
allowed to have al!enists present. Two
physicians for the immigration author
tiles, Drs. Gurd and Beauchamp, were
present

sane or insane when he killed Stan.
