STEWARTSTOWN, n. H, Sept. 10.
Harry Kendall Thaw, fugitive from
Matteawan asylum for the criminal in
sane, who was suddenly deported from
Canada this morning, is under arrest
at Colebrook, n. II. He had played
a game of hide and seek with agents
of New York state in northern New
England since 8 o'clock this morning
He was arrested at noon by Sheriff
Drew, of Coos county, at Little School
House, after having wandered about
the hills of Coos county for two hours.
Thaw was accompanied only by news
paper men The nearly exhausted
fugitive was detected and nervous and
made no effort to resist arrest.
With Sheriff Drew was former Coun.
ty Solicitor Jacobs. Thaw was placed
in the Colebrooke jail and was taken
to Lancaster this afternoon for ar
arraignment.
When Thaw landed on American
soil several newspaper correspondents
and others ran toward the scene. Thaw
saw a motor car and exclaimed: Il
will give you any sum within reason
If you will take me as passenger in
that car"
Not far from Stewartstown a stop
was made by the Thaw party at a
farm house where they dined Thaw
was nervous and apprehensive and
kept assuring the newspaper men that
he was their friend and would do any
thing if they would help him out In
the meantime the news was spreading
over the countryside that Thaw was
spinning over the northern end of Yer
mont and New Hampshire in an auto
mobile.
After dramatic flight from Nor
tons Mills VT, near which place he
was left by the Canadian immigration
authorities to Averill, VT, then back
to Norton Mills, thence to Beecher
Falls, Thaw crossed the New Hamp-
shire state line in a motor car and
dashed into Stewartstown an hour be-
fore noon in company with number
of newspaper men.
When Thaw left here he was be-
lieved to be either on his way to Que
bee to sail for Europe or on his way
into Maine.
Outgenerals jerome.
Thaw outgeneraled William Jerome
special attorney general for the state
of New York, who had stationed a
corps of private detectives along the
border to intercept the fugitive if sud-
denly dumped into the United States
by the Dominion government
From the very beginning the quick
moving event of the day. beginning
with the election from Canada, were
full of surprises From the moment
that Deputy Superintendent of Immi-
grafton Robertsonl aroused Thaw in
the immigration quarters at Coati-
cook, Quebec, shorQa after o'clock
more or less mystery surrounded the
movements and motives in the flight
whether Thaw was in the hands of
the New York authorities after he
was dumped into Vermont or whether
Thaw had cunningly devised a plan
for his own escape was not known.
Thaw Raves.
When Mr., Robertson showed Thaw
a warrant for his immediate election
from Canada the fugitive began to
rave. Il won't go with YOU" scream
ed Thaw This is case of Hdnap-
ing. This is an outrage | want to
talk with my counsel. You cannot
plot with Jerome to get me back into
Matteawan."
Thaw almost had to be forcibly
dressed. He grabbed bottle and
hurled it through a window.
Fighting and screaming, Thaw was
carried from the room, dragged down
stairs and literally thrown into high
power touring car The chauffeur
turned on full power and the car shot
forward toward Vermont
Protests Action.
Il am being kidnapped" shouted the
fugitive at the top of his voice as he
struggled and waved his arms in the
air.
Thaw thought he could not be de
ported because of the writ of injunc
tion granted in the court of appeals al
Montreal which held up the order oi
deportation handed down by the i'm
migration board OF inquiry last week
The fugitive lost control OF himself
and ragged like a maniac. He wept and
tore his hair, screamed and struggled
until exhausted. Meanwhile the driver
kept the automobile speeding toward
Vermont.

border, a number of reporters had
been stationed for several days, pa
