officials told him at Norton Mills he
was free to go wherever he liked. He
got out of the Canadian automobile
and stood gazing helplessly around
when the newspaper men who had
followed offered him room in their
car. He gladly accepted the offer.
This thing has been such a SUE

o'clock. No attempt was made to ar
rest him here. He stood about the viii
lage square for about Is minutes, then
reentered his automobile without an

Looks Like Contempt.
Montreal. Sept. 10.-The members of
Thaw's family and his lawyers here
were dumbfounded when they learned
that the fugitive had been deported.
II am simply paralyzed," said j. N.
Greenshield. K. c.. the leader of Thaw's
band of lawyers. I cannot under
stand it. With writ of prohibition
and habeas corpus it seems to me to be
utterly impossible to believe. 1t is all
beyond me. 1t certainly is a disgrace
to the country and to our administra-
ton of law. All we can do, if Thaw
has been forced across the line, is to

intendent of the immigration depart
ment, before the court of Kings bench
but what good will that do us?''
Mr. Greenshields received a telegram
from Thaws secretary notifying him
that Thaw had been taken to Norton
Mills.
w K. McKeown, another of the
Thaw counsel, said:
Deportation of Thaw in the face of
the writ of habeas corpus certainly
looks like contempt of the court of ap-
peals."

clined to comment upon it.. Supt. John
B. Reilly of the state prison depart
ment expressed surprise when informed
that Thsw was within the boundaries
of Vermont. Il hope he will be in

Story of His Flight.
Beecher Falls. VT, Sept. 10-Racing
across the top of Vermont in an auto
mobile with two newspaper CORE
spcndents, Harry K. Thaw crossed the
Connecticut river today and stopped
for a while at West Stewartstown in
the state of New Hampshire.
On reaching Norton Mills, VT, where
he had been taken by the Dominion
immigration officials, Thaw had en-
tered the correspondents automobile
and proceeded to AveriIl, a small coun-
try village, where he had breakfast at
the inn.
Engaging another car, the Mattea-
wan fugitive and the correspondents
passed through Canaan and thence
crossed the river into New Hampshire.
Thaw's haste to leave Vermont was
probably due to his knowledge that a
warrant for his arrest was awaiting
service in the state. Thaw had no
plans for the future. His deportation
was a complete surprise to him and he
was in great state of excitement dur
ing his flight across the northern part
of Vermont.
Up to the time he crossed the Con-
necticut river no steps to interfere with
his flight were taken and he believed
that the Vermont and New Hampshire
authorities had not been informed of

studied it in detail before leaving Mat
teawan.
The last heard from him here he was
returning south by the same road he
took when he fed toward Canada.

Maine and the Massa chusetts author
tiles will be notified.
The New York City police have been
asked to send out a general alarm

partmcnt, today said he had rejected
