this afternoon, lunched and dined
near Jerome, wrote letters to friends,
walked the streets unmolested and
kept silence as regards the Thaw
case. He was released on $500 bail
today on the double charge of having
entered Canada s;'by stealth and of
having aided an undesirable, Tnaw,
to cross the border He will be tried
on these charges, barring further
postponement, on Wednesday next.
Declines to SQueal.
Furnished with counsel by the
Thaw family and provided with
spending money presumably from the
same source, Thompson fatty and
repeatedly refused to tell what tran
spired on and after the Sunday morn

81 would not squeal if you gave me
the whole town of Sherbrooke,' said
Roger. 81 believe Thaw is sane and
wouldn't say one word to hurt his
case. want to see him get away. 1
won't Jump my bail. l can't go back
to New York because they have a
warrant out charging me with con-
spiracy. That worries me a whole
lot. My old mother is worried about
me, too. But 1 wrote her today tell
ing her not to be. l am British
subject and hope to beat this case
and just now it would be crazy for
me to give the details of the trip
with Tnaw
"After driving him away from Mat
teawan came with him into Can
ada because a lawyer told me they
could not touch me up here l was
the one who hired W. L. Shur1leff
at Coaticook to look out for ThaW.
Then 1 came on here to Sherbrooke."
Officers Go Home
District Attorney Conger and Sher-
if Hornbuck of Duchess county re-
turned home today They mad wait
ed here since Wednesday last hoping
Thaw would be turned over to the
immigration authorities and be de-
ported to Vermont. Jerome and
Franklin Kennedy, deputy attorney
general of New York, said tonight
their plans are indefinite They con-
ferred all afternoon trying to hit on
a means of getting Thaw out of JAIL
but without success.
Thaw's lawyers, having succeeded
in keeping him in jail and thus
thwarted his deportation, are waiting
for the other side to move. All In
dications presaged a long wait for
Jerome unless some one higher took
a hand in the case.
In the parlor of his home at
Coaticook Justice Dupuis, frequently
interrupted by Mrs. Dupuis, talked
tonight of the attempts made to have
him quash the Thaw commitment
sI didn't think the continent was
regular when signed it, said Du-
puis. "But the sheriff who had ThaW
was very anxious he should be held.
They we're so insistent that l allow
ed myself to be persuaded.
con Wednesday, l believe, some
men who called themselves immigra-
ton authorities, called on me. They
wanted me to go right to Sherbrooke,
give Thaw hearing and turn him
lose. But I could not do that. They
had a machine waiting but | did not
20. mad a horse I wanted to sell
that afternoon. A while later one of
them came back. He wanted me to
sign over my rights to another mag
istrate, but 1 told him 1 thought l
was capable of dealing with the sit
uation myself. British fair play
won't suffer in my hands"
Mrs. Dupuis entered: "Let me tell
you,' she said, "I'm for Thaw. 1
wouldn't hurt him for the world. My
husband is not going to do anything
nasty"
