LAWYERS LEAVE 1T TO THAW TO
DECIDE HIS NEXT MOVE

DECIDE HIS NEXT MOVE
Sherbrooke, Que., Aug. 23.-Harry
K. Thaw- this afternoon was told by
his lawyers that he could make up
his own mind as to whether he wants
to go to Vermont or stay in Canada.
This action followed Thaw's fight
with his lawyers, who now say the
decision must be entirely up to Thaw
himself.
Thaw began to waiver when he
received the UltimatUm from his law
yers, and will not announce his de-
cision until Monday.
Possibly he hopes that by that time
Former Governor Stone of Pennsyl-
vania, and D. T. Thompson and
William Blakeley of Pittsburgh, for
whom he has wired, will be here to
advise him.
ThaW's Canadian lawyers think he
will be fool if he does not accept
the chance offered by the Canadian
government and allow himself to be
taken over the line into Vermont.
They acknowledge that if Thaw
chooses to stay here and fight it out
they can keep the case in the Can
adam courts on appeal for at least
five years.
But the last appeal would be de-
cided in Montreal, and if Thaw were |
convicted there he would be sent to |
New York. And that would mean |
Matteawan asylum for the criminal |
insane again.
Thaw's lawyers will not accept the.
responsibility for such a chance.
Former District Attorney Jerome |
of New York was reported to be in
Vermont today. He is said to be ex-
aiming the law of that state as it
may affect Thaw's case.

THE MULHALL CASE

Washington, Aug. 23.-Attorney
McCarter, count for the N. A. NJ,
made the charge to the Senate lobby
committee that the several of the
Mulhan letters have been tempered
with 'by the committee or someone"
Committee members resented the in
situation and the attorney apologize
ed, declaring he had not meant to re-
fleet personally on the senators. He
insisted, however, that some of the
letters had been altered either by
Mulhall or the New York newspapers
that published them.
Colonel MUlhan testified that Rep
resentatiVe McDermott of Illinois had
told him that he received $4,000 from
brewery interests for work in Wash
ingtOn. He said the congressman
complained he was to have received
$4,000. MulhaH fixed the time of the
conversation as during the campaign
of 1912.
