got me into this, and it is up to ThaN
or the Thaw family to get me out
of 1t.
IF l want to. l can tell things
things that I have learned since Sun
day, and maybe before. / am going
| to tell them unless I am looked after
don't propose to serve a three
months term in jail for something
never knowingly did.
1.-THE Thaw people have got me a
! lawyer but that is all they have
done for me. Now it is up to them
] to give me enough money to get me
out of this I didn't begin to realize
until today just what position l am
in"
Thompson neryously walked the
length of his cell and snapped his
fingers spasmodically.
What story is this you say you
can tell?" he was asked.
Never you mind" was the quick
reply. It'll be a story worth reading
If tell it."
Thaw Angered by Thompson.
Not a word more could the chauf-
feur of the getaway car be induced
to say.
When asked as to Thompson's
threat Thaw became more excited
than at any time today.
"Oh, that man. he spluttered ex-
plosively Il can't talk about him."
When Thompson was arraigned be-
fore Judge Mulvena today on the
charge of aiding the entry of q lunatic
into Canada. the case was put over
until next Friday upon agreement of
counsel
A dozen times during the day the
prisoner sent frantic calls for various
newspaper men whom he had known
in the past. They drove up the hill
to the Jail in the picturesque flacres
which the townspeople use to transact
every bit of business. and when they
arrived Thaw would either send down
word that he had nothing to say or
see them and ask them to lay par
ticular stress upon some new legal
point which he had mulled out.
"If Thaw is deported to New York
State the immigration act will have
been stretched to impinge upon the
extradition treaty." said one of
Thaw's many lawyers. 1.-THE i'm
migration laws were enacted for the
protection of Canada-the eXtradition
laws to protect other countries.
1.-The New York authorities did not
come here to protect Canada, but to
take Thaw back to New York State
to serve a sentence imposed upon
him by Supreme Court justice of
the State of New York
1.-The attitude of the New York au-
thorities in seeking to use the extra
dition treaty to aid them in a depor-
tation has turned sentiment in Can
ada against them and in favor of
Thaw.
That the immigration officials wish
to be informed as to Thaw's present
mental condition was shown yester-
day when they commissioned DR..
Joseph Noel to examine Thaw.
'In my opinion, Thaw is sane"
stated DR.. Noel after the examination
1.-THE verdict does not worry me in
the least" was the prompt statement
of Deputy Attorney General Kennedy.
mo superficial examination can pos
sibly bring out evidences of Thaw's
insanity Cunning and ability to de-
ceive even trained medical observers
is one of the manifestations of para
noia. from which Thaw suffers"
Confer About Threat.
Thaw's lawyers conferred today re-
garding the yelled threat of Roger
Thompson. the cheuffeur, now under
arrest here, to "squear' as to the
details OF the MdIIedWan utllNtI y F.
1t was announced that the Thaw
| family stands ready to give the
| chauffeur every support in his fight
against the immigration authorities.
| Thompson clings to the assertion
| that he is a British subject, even
while he acknowledges his identity.
| Thompson says that his father was a
| policeman in Toronto.
Thaw was greatly perturbed today
over the defiant attitude of Roger
! Thompson He would not admit that
he knew Thompson, but he issued this
statement:
"Mr. Thaw has engaged Louis st
Laurent, Of Quebec, to act for Mr.
| Thompson, British subject. Mr.
Thaw wants to know why Thomp-
son was arrested. Mr.. Thaw thinks
he will lbe in a position to recover
damages for his false arrest. THAI
is all Mr.. Thaw cares to say at this
| time"
With Roger OMara scheduled tt
arrive this forenoon, the Thaw law
yers hoped he would be able to take
charge of the case formally and thai
the uncertainty as to their status
would be removed.
