. BEING SET FOR
HARRY THAW
Curtain Will Rise on the Next
Act in Concord
JEROME DOESN'T LIKE IT
But Is Informed BY Judge AIdrich
That His Own Course Is Open
to Suspicion.

Littleton, N. H.. Sept. 16.-The
hearing on the federal writ of habeas
corpus in the case of Harry X. Thaw
was today postponed one week upon
request OF Thaw's counsel.
Thaw will be taken tonight to
Concord where the hearing upon the
request for extradition signed by
Governor Glynn of New York will be
held on Thursday.
When the request for a postpone
ment Of the hearing was granted to-
day Former District Attorney
Jerome, leading counsel for the state
of New York, was much dspleased.
He argued that the federal habeas
corpus proceedings were not under
taken in good faith but he was in
formed by Judge Aldrich that he was
hardly in position to raise such
question. The Judge in turn ques-
tened the good faith OF the extradit-
ion proceedings from the state of
New York and asked Jerome how
man who has been confined in an in
sane asylum could be guilty of the
offence charged in the request made
by Gov. Glynn.
Colebrook. n. H., Sept. 16.-The jul
dicial branch of the United States gov
eminent assumed joint guardianship
with the state of New Hampshire of
Harry Kendell Thaw at Colebrook. n.
H., last night. BY virtue of writ of
habeas corpus issued at Concord on
Saturday, United tSates Marshal 4.
p. Mute became one OF the Mattea-
wan fugitive's custodians.
The writ was obtained by Thaws
lawyers as weapon against William
Travers Jerome, in case Jerome
should try forcibly to get Thaw
across the New York border.
1t is the first time, with the excep
ton OF bankruptcy proceedings at
Pittsburg, that Thaw's case has ever
been in the federal courts. and the
sovereign power of Uncle Sam gave
him a sense of security against kid
mapping.
Marshal Mute reached Colebrook
shortly after 8 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon. The writ he bore was di-
rected against Holman Drew, sheriff
OF Coos county, or any other custodi-
an of Thaw. But because the sheriff
was temporarily absent, having gone
to his home in Berlin for the after
noon. the marshal refrained from
serving the writ on any deputies and
handed it to the sheriff in person on
his return to Colebrook last night.
Thaw spent an uneyentful day. On
ly once did he leave his hotel, and
that was to get shaved. He heard with
interest last night that John Andrews
the Coaticook constable who arrested
jerome on the charge OF gambling. of
which he was subsequently exonerat-
ed, had run afoul of the United States
immigration law. Last night Andrews
was held at Colebrook in the custody
OF Charles Kelley Colebrook's chief
OF police, pending the arrival of
George X. Allen, a United States i'm
migration inspector, stationed at Is.
land Pond. Allen telephoned that he
had a warrant for the arrest Of An

In violation of the immigration laws.
Andrews said last night that he was
liveryman, a native of New Hamp-
shire. although he had lived in Coat.
cook for nearly 20 years and knew
nothing OF the charge against him.
jerome said last night that he had
heard on the day OF his arrest at Coat
