 lease of ThaW.

Coaticook, Que, Sept. 6.-Whiie the town band played "GoG Save The | King great throng of people
 surgcd about Harry K. Thaw's quar- l tcrs in the immigration detention 1 station here tonight and in two languages shouted their admiration | for the millionaire murderer of Stanford White.
 Plans for celebration on Thaw's l eleventh hour escape from the
 clutches Of William Travers Jerome i had been under way all day and l when darkness fell there was already ! a small group in front of ThaW's
 quarters. This was constantly
 augmented and when the band came
 marching briskly up with the music | so dear to the hearts of the French | Canadians, resounding on the clear ! night air, the pent up enthusiasm of Thaws we'll wishers broke loose. They cheered him again and again and finally the crowd became so en- thusiastic that the prisoner appeared at his window and delivered a brief speech of thanks.
 The demonstration lasted over an hour and the crowd stayed until the
 lights in Thaws quarters went out. Then the band marched merrily away with the crowd following still cheer ing
 While the crowd was around the detention station squad of Domin- ion police, sent from Montreal for the purpose, kept a close watch to
 nip in the bud any attempt to liber- ate tho prisoner. The authorities have no doubt that if the populace
 could find a leader it would try to
 set the prisoner free. For that reason he will be closely guarded day
 and night until the time comes for
 his departure for Montreal.
 William Travers Jerome, who has
 been outwitted for the present in his
 efforts to secure Thaw's immediate
 return to Matteawan. enjoyed a dila- tory domicile today. He secured through counsel an adjournment un- til Thursday of his hearing on the l charge of being common gambler
 in that he participated with num- l Der of friends in a game of poker in an automobile Thursday afternoon.
 Until 4 o'clock this afternoon Jerome
 remained at the Hotel Carpenter. d line house at Norton's Mill, Vermont. | The bar of the hotel is ill Canada
 and the tobaco stand in Vermont. Thaw's prosecutor spent most of
 his time in Vermont.
 At 4 o'clock one of Jerome's coun- sells mOtored down to NOrtons Mill and told his client that search of the Canadian statutes had failed to lCSCdi lhdC thc SdMDliuS OIiCASc charged is crime. and that there fore the warrant against him would be quashed. Jerome then motored to Island Pond, Vermont, where he took a train for Montreal over tho Canadian Pacific route, not passing through the judicial district of St. Francis, in which Coaticcok is locat- cd
 At Montreal Jerome will engage lawyers and continue the fight for Thaw's early deportation. He still belivees that he will have Thaw over the border within fortnight and will devise ways and means to com bat the latest move of the Thaw law yers in securing the writ of habeas corpus returaable, September 1o.
 Jerome thinks that the Minister of Justice Jorden has power to order the immediate execution of the immigra tion boards edict of deportation to Vermont.
