Procedure
BY JOHN e. NEviN,


SHERBROOKE. Que, Aug. %
Physical force may yet be resorted
10 in the case of Harry X. Thaw. The
clash may come Immediately after he
crosses the line into Vermont. II will
not come in Canada. But Thaw, when
deported. which will likely be Thurs
day or Friday OF this week, will be
turned loose in the little hamlet OF
Norton Mills There the Vermont au-
thorities at the request Of Acting Gov
ernor Glynn. of New York, are expect.
cd to take the Matteawan asylum
prisoner into custody.
The arrest will be directed by Dis
trict Attorney Conger, of Duchess
county New York. and Sheriff Horn
beck, both OF whom are here. Conger
very frankly admits that he fears
:. Thaw's friends may try TO rescue him.
And If they try ii" ne said. sig
nificantly today. they will find re-
ception that will not he a welcome
one"
Already on Watch.
So confident is Conger that his the
ory Is correct that he already has
men on the scene watching every one
Who comes in Norton Mills. His pre-
1ecessor in Office. John Mack. is in
hat vicinity. And It is believed that
William Travers Jerome. now the
prosecutor In charge of the New York
Ease is also there. They have been
commissioned TO see that the Thaw
millions are not used TO allow the
prisoner TO be kidnapped from the bor-
Ger as be was from Matteawan.
The United Press is able today TO
announce the plans Of the Thaw law
yers. They were completed at con-
ierences today, and have Thaw's ap-
rroval AS outlined by counsel, they
follow:
I'VE will appear in court Wednes-
day morning, at 10 o'clock" explained
she lawyer, and will be ready TO ar
sue the writ of habeas corpus assail-
'ng the commitment. II is admitted
hat Thaw will be freed before noon
is he leaves the court room we are
-eliably informed he will be taken
nto custody by the immigration Off
ials. They will take him TO Coati-
cooke on the afternoon train. An i'm
migration court will be assembled. On
Thursday it will grant the prisoner
hearing OH the charge that he ille-
-aly entered Canada, and that, hav-
ing been an inmate OF an asylum, he
IS an undesirable alien.
: Appeal Considered.
"On this hearing much depends.
Should the government produce per-
fect case, we will make no fight. But
If it's case is imperfect we Will appeal
from the order OF deportation that is
certain to issue. Two Of the court
who VIII sit Inspectors Reynolds and
Williams, have already prejudged this
case. They have announced publicly
hat they will deport Thaw. So he
has not got a chance at their hands
but IL We find that they are not en-
iirely borne out by the evidence, we
will appeal 10 Hon. c. j. Dougherty.
acting minister OF the interior, and In
charge of immigration cases.
Under the law all Of the papers in
he appeal must be in the hands or
he minister within 4S hours. Now
should we appeal, and I want to say
hat we will not unless we believe we
have q good case, Mr.. Thaw Will re-
main indefinitely on Canadian soil
because, should Dougherty uphold his
yubordinates We would still have the
right to have his decision reviewed
And that review would carry through
lhe regular channels direct To the
, 'privy council in England.
IF we find that we cannot contest
The deportation on an appeal, why
hen Mr.. Thaw will he put across the
border at the nearest point
