We're to hear my case. This Is strong arm
work.
Mr.. Mclnnes, himself a Canadian, is
sued the following statement tonight:
Il first received an intination from
Ottawa yesterday that Thaw would be
secretly deportad Thursday against the
orders OF the courts. My colleagues N
Montreal. would not believe the govern
ment would so outrage the courts of
Kings bench. But l was distrustful and
took the first train to oaticook where
/ found that Thaw had been secretly
taken out by automobile and showed
across the border. l followed his trail
at once by motor to Colebrook."
Tile matter of Thaw's extradition from
New Hampshire was uncertain tonight.
His lawyers contonded that there must
first be produced requisition warrant
rom the governor of New York
James Il. Tuti1e. attorney general OF
New Hampshire, is on the scene and he
doubtless will make a report on the case
to the governor of his state.

Flew Into Rage
Thaws election from Canada began with
the breaking OF window pane. Aroused
from his cot in the immigration detention
room at Coatlcook and told he was to
be taken across the border at once, he
flew-into a rage, picked up heavy glass
tumbler and with all his might hurled it
at the head of the nearest immigration
officer. The official lodged and the tum-
smashed on the station platform below.
Five minutes later Thaw was half-car-
ried, half dragged down the stairs, forced
into waiting automobile, wedged be-
tween two Dominion police and whirled
toward Norton Mills. VT, nine miles
away.
He protested throughout the short trip.
but his guards ignored him. At 500 he
was whisked past gray stone slab
marking the boundary and, like rabit
being released was set gently down on
a bit of open ground. He whimpered in
bewilderment He looked north, south
east and west as If trying to decide
which way to go. Half dozen idlers
stepped toward him timidly but none tried
to lay hands on him.
For perhaps half a minute Thaw stood
there, his hat pulled over his eyes, his
hair awry. his face unshaven, his clothes
rumpled. Then, as there was nothing
else to do, he climbed into the automo-
bile of a newspaper correspondent and
asked to be driven away

he implored. Jerome has got the attor-
ney general OF Vermont fixed. In New
Hampshire believe I would have a fight
ing chance. Maybe we can reach rail-
road somewhere and / can buy through
ticket to Detroit"
Talks Incoherently
Talking incoherently of Detroit, his
lawyers, his mother. and of writs of ha-
beas corpus, he was driven east over a
winding road a stones throw from the
boundary. At Averill. VT. five miles on
the car stopped at small summer no
tel. Thaw had not breakfasted. He or
dered bread and milk and gulped it dowr
while he tried to get Montreal over the
long distance telephone to inform his Ca
madam counsel and his mother of his pre-
dicament-
| But wires were bad and Thaw was ex-
cited and he could not make the con
nection. He strode out on the porch only
! to learn that the chauffeur of the cal

| Trihey, a substantial business man o.
Coaticook. who had volunteered to assis

on aiding Thaw. Besides, he had not re
ported his car on crossing the boundary
as required by the customs regulations
! and was afraid OF the consequences. Re
lluctantly he turned back. leaving Thav
fuming on the porch of the little hotel.
