Left the Country
Poughkeepsie, n Y, August 16.-11
Harry K. Thaw has not lett the coun-
try he will be arrested on a warrant
charging him with conspiracy and re-
turned to the Matteawan State Hos
pital for the criminal insane. Action
with this end in view was taken in a
special term of the supreme court
here this afternoon, when Justice Jo-
seph Morschauzer issued a warrant
for the arrest of Thaw, charging him
with conspiracy with Keeper Howard
Barnum and five other men in max
! ing his escape from Matteawan.
Similar warrants were also issued
for Richard j. Butler, Roger Thomp-
son, Michael O'Keefe, Eugene Duffy
and Thomas Flood, Thaw's alleged ac-
completes. Keeper Barnun., the guard,
who opened the hospital gate when
Thaw escaped, has been held without
bail for examination Thursday.
Justice Morschauzer issued the war
rants for Thaw and his five alleged
accomplices after taking the evidence
of several witnesses this afternoon.
District Attorney Conger claims con-
spiracy is an extraditable charge and
that Thaw can be brought back to
Dutchess county, no matter to what
State he has fed.
Believes He Has Clue.
Armed with the warrants Sheriff
Fred Hornebeck and his deputy's left
hurriedly tonight for the eastern part
of the county. The sheriff made it
known he had received a clue which
he expected to lead to the arrest of
the five accomplices. From witnesses
today the sheriff learned that all of
today the sheriff learned that all of the
men worse dark suits and four of them
wore clean-looking derbys. William
Gordon, proprietor of the Holland
House at Fishkill Landing, where the
five strangers stopped, verified the
five names taken from the hotel re-
gister. He said the five spent
much of their time in the hotel bar
room and talked freely. According
to Gordon, when the men were asked
about their business, one of them re-
piled:
II am in the water business;
get the water out of Sheepshead Bay"
Afterawrd the same man said to Cor
don: 81 am one of those fellows who
never likes to see anybody in trouble.
1 don't care what he has core; when
l see a fellow in trouble l am sorry
for him and will try to help him
out"
Paid Their Hotel Bills.
"The men left the hotel together in
the two cars Sunday morning" Cor
don continued. "They paid their bills
and one man asked another in the
parlor if he thought they could be
back before night The other man re-
piled that they ought toNmake it all
right. "
Robrt Lowrey, another witness, told
of the approach of the five men to
the hospital 81 was working in my
barn Sunday morning" he said, when
heard a car stop on the road from
Matteawan to Fishkill village. 1t
was a large touring car with two men
in it. One man got out and walked up
tn chill to point where it was posi-
Bile to see the rear gate or the hospi-
tai. He came down and went back
and climbed the hill third time, each
time reporting to his companions. At
that time 1 went into che house and
heard car coming down the hill and
some one was yelling. Then I came
out and saw the same man jump into
the car. I saw the tail of the other
car passing the corner and I saw this
man Jump into the car that mad been
standing there. This car soon followed
the other. There we're three men in
the rear seat of the car that came
down the hill and one man in the front
seat driving"
