case of Harry x. Thaw so far as Sher-
brooke is concerned entered temporary
doldrums today. The court victory Of
his lawyers in forcing their own writ
Of habeas corpus and having him re-
| committed to jail seems either that he
will remain there until tried by the
kings bench, criminal side, In October,
or that New York state. outfianked In
legal skirmishes. must maze some new
move looking to his liberation and
for deportation.
The New York lawyers were workins
today along new lines. William Traverz
Jerome conferred with the attorney
general Of the province Of Quebev
seeking some means Of obtaining his
authority for finding some means Of
getting Thaw out Of Jail. Other coun-
sci for New York continued their ef-
forts tn obtain the magistrate or JUS
tice Of the peace the withdrawal Of
the commitment which he issued after
Thaw's arrest there twelve days ago
and on which the fugitive is held in
Jail.
1t1avv Content in Jail.
Most Of Thaw's distinguished Can.
adian counsel left town last night to
recuperate after their rigors Of their
court battle. and Thaw, himself 10

Points Gained by Thaw.
The three points In which Thaw's
lawyers were successful in their fra.
legal sI<irmish were:
Ftrst-New York state was denied
the right to be party to the proceedings
in court.
second-Counself for the state failed
in their efforts to have Thaw rear
raigned before magistrate and the
commitment on. which he is held
ouashed. This would have released
him to the immigration officers.
Third-Judge Globensky granted the
plea Of Thaw's counsel for . discon.
tinuance Of the writ Of habeas corpus
which might have brought about his
release today.
This remedied . strategic blunder
made last week by Thaw's attorneys
who apparently did not realize then
that In seeking their clients release
they were playing into the opposi-
tion's hands.
Tho court held, in brief, that man
may discontinue any proceedings he
has undertaken In his own behalf. pro-
vided that there II no specific law for
bidding It.
Opinion differed as to whether this
meant that Thaw would remain in
Jail until some high dominion official
interfered or whether he could demand
trial by jury at the kings bench next
October.
Spectators Warned by Court.
So riotous was the scene In the SUI
perior court. when, at the morning
session. Judge Arthur Globensky re-
fused to allow counsel representing
New York state to be a party Of the
proceedings. that the court subse-
quently warned spectators that a rep

Speaking from the bench at the aft
