by the immigration authorities at Of

X. Thaw may be put across the Ameri-
can border in the state of Vermont

the fugitive from Matteawan shape

This was the semi-official intimation

habeas corpus writ his counsel So

If Declared Free.
1t was not denied that official opin-
ion inclines to the belief that the
habeas corpus proceedings will result
in Thaw being declared free man.
What will follow, the plans of the
immigration authorities indicate, lies
in the hands of Inspectors Reynolds
and Williams of Ottawa. These two
officials, Immediately after Thaw is
released by the court, will take him
into custody as an undesirable under
the immigration act and rush the flu
gitive to Coaticook.
At the immigration office the for
NAL deportation proceedings will be
conducted in the form of an official in.

history, which debars him from re-
naming in Canada. These formalities
ended, he will be taken on board a
train and conveyed to the border,
where he will be handed over to the
American authorities.
Point OF Deportation.
The point of deportation indicated
will be Island Pond, VT, the nearest
border station, about 20 miles south
of Coaticook
A through ticket to Detroit, by
which ThaW, it is believed, hopes to
evade the authorities, on his journey
through Quebec, to the state of Michi-

not been shown the ticket by Thaw,

The possible hitch in the deporta-
ton plan would be further writ of
habeas corpus calling upon the immi-
grafton authorities to show cause why
Thaw is not eligible to enter Canada.
This would further delay action.
Suspect Is Held.
One OF the five men who spirited
Thaw away is believed to be in iail
