Extradition Hearing Begins
before Governor Felker
of New Hampshire.

CONCORD, N. H., SPIT. 2s.-Harry
Thaw's real fight for freedom began
today. With the opening of the ex-
tradition hearing by Governor Felker
counsel on both sides realized that the
hour of legal sparring for temper
airy advantage had passed and that
the outcome rested on the interpreta-
ton of points OF law regarding which
few II any precedent had been found
William Travers Jerome, grim and
silent arrived just before daylight,
deputized by the state of New York to
obtain the surrender of Thaw as a
fugitive from justice. He was accom-
panied by Franklin Kennedy, assistant
attorney general of New York. They
went from the train to their apart
ments at the hotel where Thaw is
staying and remained in seclusion.
Thaw was up early and had final
conference with his attorneys before
arriving at the senate chamber. He
was encouraged by the presence of
his mother. Mrs. Mary Copeley Thaw,
who with his brother, Josiah, came
here last night. A great crowd gath
cred outside the capitol building
hours before the proceedings began.
The proceedings were delayed until
the arrival of Mrs. Felker, who enter
ed the chamber with the governor and
Attorney General futile. In opening
the hearing, Governor Felker said
that he was inclined to hear whatever
the lawyers had to say and without
strict regard to legal technicallties.
Thaw's counsel waived the reading
of the petition for extradition and Mr..
Jerome addressed the governor brief
~ He declared that the documents
asking for the extradition OF T6aw
spoke for themselves and there was
nothing for the executive to do but to
honor them. If any attack was too
be made upon them it should come
from the other side.
Judge Chase of counsel for Thaw
opened for the defense saying that he
would be followed by Ex-Governor
Stone of Pennsylvania and George F.
Morris, of Lancaster.
Adjournment was taken until 2
o'clock when Jerome will reply. Thaw
wept when his lawyers pleaded for
his release. . Z
