SHERBROOKE, Que. Aug. 22.-
Assured that New York's request for
the extradition OF Harry Thaw will
not be granted by the Canadian au-
thorities, George Carnegie, Thaw's
brotherin-law, is reported arranging
to have a yacht in Canadian waters
in which Whites slayer will be ta-
ken to Virginia. There Thaw will
have the benefit of the court decisions
in the case of John Chaloner, who
lives unmolested although he is an
escaped insane prisoner from New
York.
Thaw's Sherbrooke counsel, Attor-
ney Schurtcliffe, returned today from
Ottawa when he interviewed heads OF
the immigration service. Schurtcliffe
told Thaw flatly that probably he
would have to leave Canada but pos
itively would not be returned to New
York state. Whether Thaw will be
rejected as an undesirable alien and
returned to the United States over the
same route which he entered, or be
given 4s hours to quit the country
and allowed to choose his own route,
Is yet uncertain.
The authorities have taken in dead
earnest the jestingly started report
! that noted New York gangsters were
employed to break into the Jail and
rescue Thaw. The consequence is
| that the, guard has been doubled and
everyone approaching the, prison in
| which Thaw is confined is subjected
to the closest scrutiy
Magistrate Mulvea postponed for
week the case against Thompson, the
! chauffeur who is accused of being
with Thaw. an adjudged lunatic. in
! Canada. The delay was due to the
nonarrival of the record of Thaws
| commitment to Matteawan.
! Owing to fear that a rescue would
! be attempted, the governor of the Jail
/ refused to permit visitors to see Thaw
| and would not even transmit a note,
/ saying he intended to take no chances.
! 1t is understood that Roger Omara.
Thaw's Pittsburg friend. has been
asked to send two of his huskiest
| strongarm men here to guard Thaw
| against an attempt at kidnapping by
! emissaries from New York state. The
party here which is eager to send
Thaw back to Matteawan is bitterly
asserting that Thaw's friends are ex-
erting political pressure at Ottawa to
gain their ends
| WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Secretary
of Labor Wilson telegraphed Glynn
of New York that he Is unable to find
any law under which the United
States government can ask Canada to
deport Thaw. He said: 'I am advis-
ed that steps have already been taken
by the state department to bring the
matter to Canada's attention through
the ordinary diplomatic channels"
| ALBANY, Aug 22.-Acting Cover
nor Glynn telegraphed the following
to the governor of Vermont: "I am
| informed that the Canadian authori-
ties will deport Thaw to Vermont
about Wednesday next. 1 request that
you have him apprehended immedi-
fately and held awaiting requisition' -
Says Thaw Is Sane.
! SHERBROOKE. Aug. 22.-Thaw
is perfectly sane" This was the die
tum of DR.. Joseph Noel, Jail physi-
clan, after an exhaustive examination
of Thaw in his cell. For 45 minutes

tests The verdict is expected to be
vitality important in Thaw's fight for
freedom
