THAW'S PRESS
CAMPAIGN IS
STOPPED
THE LAWYERS Of The MATTEAWAN
FUGITIVE SECURE AN ORDER
FROM THE SHERIFF SHUTTING
OFF ALL INTERVIEWS EXCEPT IN
PRESENCE or COUNSEL.
.HABEAS CORPUS WRIT
RETURNABLE TOMORROW

Sherbrooke, Que, Aug. 26.-Harry
X. Thaw's many lawyers, fearful lest
! he hurt his case with the conduct of
his self-planned press campaign, shut
| him off from all intervewers today
! They obtained from the sheriff an Or
der to the governor of Sherbrooke Jail
| that no one should see Thaw except in
the presence of some one of his coun-
sell
The order serves two purposes.
First, 1t prevents Thaw from giving
out more rambling interviews, except
surreptitously, by messengers; sec
ond, it would circumvent any secret
attempt to obtain from him state
ment in which he might inadvertently
reveal something about the plot result
ing in his release from Matteawan.
A cold rain kept the army of law
yers, newspaper men and others
brought here by the Thaw case, within
doors today, where foe and friend
swapped theories and predictions and
mutually agreed that even now, ten
days after Thaw's break for liberty, le-
gal moves for and against his return
were in a state of chaos
Although Thaws lawyers insist they
will produce Thaw in the superior
court tomorrow morning on the writ
of habeas corpus and argue that his
detention in Sherbrooke on the pres
ent commitment is illegal, it would
not surprise those who have followed
the ramifications of the case if they
should abandon the writ and leave
Thaw in his cell without further move
until the opposition dscloses its hand.

arrived here today from Montreal.

Saginaw, or March 1, 1889. and went
seventy-seven rounds to a draw. Not
content with this verdict, they met
again on April Is of the same year
at Grand Rapids, and once again
fought without any decisive result,
the second battle being declared a
draw after fifty-five rounds Of bitter
fighting.

II took George to England and
fought him against Dick Burge, the
supposedly invincible English cham
pion.. at the National Sporting club Of
London. The best weight Burge
could make was around l4O. and he
was a five to one favorite over La
vigne. Peggy Bettinson didn't think
1t fair to ask the Kid to give away
so much weight. and said that the
championship should not hinge on the
battle, but George insisted that the
fight be for the worlds title, He
stopped Burge in eighteen rounds!
"Soon after this Lavigne and I
parted. but were always the best Of
friends. His brother handled him in
his later fights. when he began to
slip back. But I knew him, and
handled him when he was at his best
