The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1913-09-12
boasts was generously sprinkled with


most frenzied in their accIamation of
Thaw, swept into Colebrook from the |
other side of the international line |
Some came by automobile, some by car
riage and few by train. They are a |
rather sinister looking crowd, in Kel- |
ley's opinion, and he said, e IN tax
ing no chances.
Holman Drew Colebrook 5 sheriff,
who arrested Thaw, dOesn t try to con
ceal the fact that he thinks there is
a plot among these hotheaded people
from Coaticook and that if they are
given half a chance they will try to
rush Thaw back across the border and
into the heavily wooded Megantic hills
where GOO French Canadian lumber
jacks are deeply excited over Thaw s
hard luck.
There were two high powered
automobiles in town yesterday which
Kelley SAYS were here for no good pur
pose
The Canadian immigration depart
ment, appraised of the presence Of 50
many Canadians at Colebrook, has sent
two inspectors TO see that Thaw does
not get back to the Dominion. These
men are K H. Thornton and Theodore
Garceau.
/ Thaw left the hotel twice during the
day Yesterday and each time he was
escorted by number of deputy sher-
ifs who carried reyolvers in their coat
pockets and kept their hands on them.
u Kelley saws that several Of the Cana
dians in town are armed. to his knowl-
edge, and has passed out word that if
they DO not Get rsl of their guns or
4 leave town by today he Will arrest
1 them.
Despite this condition of affairs Cole
brook continues to look harmless and
rather drowsy One would imagine that
the quiet Of the White mountains had
eaten its way into the bones Of peo-
pie and taught them the majesty of
silence. There is plenty of curiosity
in the eyes Of the men and women, but
none of the impctuosity Of the French
Canadians, who couldn I see Thaw
without cheering him.
Thaw himself is in q mighty unhap-
lpy frame Of mind. He stands erect
and has the old fash in his ewes, but
his face is not the face it was two
weeks ago.
There is a hunted look about him
land suggestion of fear that was not
evident when he made his first appear
auce in the court room ut Sherbrooke.
lie can not conceal in the tone of hrs
j
lips the fact that he has little hope
left
At 4 o'eloek yesterday afternoon he
was taken from his room and led down
the street an eighth of a mile to the
Colebrook National bank building. A
flock Of automobiles went abrest Of him
in the road and about 200 persons, a
good many of them women, followed
on foot, mildly but not boisterously
anxious to see his face.
He was taken to the office of his
lawyer, Thomas F. Johnson. and left
