SHERBROOKE, Que. Aug. 25.-
William Travers Jerome, formerly
district attorney of New York county.
reached here by motor this afternoon
from New City. Vermont, to take
charge of New York States case in
its endeavor to have Harry *. Thaw
returned to Matteawan. Mr.. Jerome
had no comment to make on the
situation.
Roger O'Mara, for the Thaw fam
lily, had not reached Sherbrooke
this afternoon. and counsel for
both sides marked time. by hold
ing further conferences. The gen
eral understanding still prevailing
was that Thaw would be ar
raigned in the superior Court on
Wednesday morning on the commit
ment under which he had been held a
fugitive from the Matteawan hos
pital turned over to the immigrant ton
authorities and ultimately deported to
Vermont.
Thaw had a row with the Jail au-
thorities today because his breakfast
from a hotel arrived late. 1t was the
worst show of temper since his deten-
tion here.
j. Parkinson, of Montreal, connect
ed with the dominion secret service,
reached Sherbrooke today to keep in
touch with the case. Stories of Thaw
money corrupting courts, judges and
immigration officials-all of them
baseless SO far as anyone can learn
were being discussed in the hotel corr
ridors and on the streets at noon.
Ex- Governor Stone, of Pennsyl-
vania, characterized all such rumors
as absurd"
"The law will be allowed to take its
course in this case he said All we
ask for is simple justice
w X. McKeown, of the Thaw legal
contingent, explained this afternoon
one of the reasons why they had not
yet announced a definite plan of ac-
ton.
1--WE are waiting for the other side
to show it's hand,' he remarked. 1T
has never been made clear to us just
exactly what the attitude of the Ca
madam authorities is i'm regard to
Thaw."
Thaw Has Restful Night.
Thaw had a fairly restful night.
He is fortunate, as are all of those
who rushed here after his detention,
in having cool, clear, invigorating
weather

ever, unless the nervous pacing Of his
cell can be called exercise, and his
personal appearance Is far from being
that of the neat, young-old man he
appeared to be at the New York court
hearings. He was always Spruced up
there at the careful coaching Of
counsel, but his Sherbruoke cell looks
unkept.
A wild rumor fioated about Sher
brooke just before dawn that there
had at last been carried out the often
talked-of jail delivery and that Thaw
was again speeding away in the night
in an automobile. 1t was the out
growth of the noise made by the pow
erful car of a local physician who
happened to be rushing through the
streets with the muffler of his ma
chine wide open not far from the jail,
Jerome Autoing to Thaw.
cOLEBROOKE. n. H.. Aug. 20
William Travers Jerome. special
deputy attorney general for New
York State in the Thaw case. ar
rived here today on his way to Sher-
brooke. Quebec.
Mr.. Jerome is driving his own au-
tomobile and is following, so far as
possible. the exact route taken by
Thaw in his fight from Matteawan
Mr.. Jerome, who was accompanied
by John Langdon. stopped at Cole
brook for n short time, and then de-
parted for Beecher Falls. VT. rail-
way station about n quarter of
mile from the Canadian boundary,
where Thaw left the train and hired
a carriage to drive him across the
line last Tuesday.
81 have no doubt said Mr..
Jerome. that Thaw will be returned
to New York and again confined in
Matteawan. / am confident of the
outcome of this case. I believe Thaw
will be deported from Canada and
there will be no trouble about get
ting him into New York State"
When Mr. Jerome left here he eX-
pected to reach Sherbrooke, where
Thaw is held in Jail, some time dur
ing the day.
