guarded by helmeted and heavily
armed Dominion police. More than

against Thaw was imminent and the
dash to Vermont was about to begin.
Thaw himself was the first witness
when the immigration board convened
at 10 O'Clock this morning in the immi-
grafton Office above the railroad sta

made him popular up here he sub

laid the foundation for the contention
of his lawyers that he was merely pass

way to Pittsburgh. and not entering as
an alien.

The first point that went against
Thaw was the refusal OF Justice Hutch
inson. at Sherbrooke. 10 issue a writ
OF prohibition against the immigration
officers TO stay the proceedings. Then
i'm the proceedings themselves came the
defeat of his defence that he was
merely passing through Canada as a
tourist on the way 10 Pittsburgh. After
hearing testimony as o~tt1e manner
OF his entry into Canada. f.. Blake Rob-
ertson. who presided at the inquiry.
ruled out his contention.
The next blow TO Thaw was that
despite his own and his counsel's OBJ
jections, the question OF his sanity was
found insane he may he deported at
