JEROME PLANS NEW
ATTACK ON 1HAW

SHERBROOKE, Quebec. Sept. l.
Having failed in his latest attempt to
obtain the immediate release of Harry
n Thaw, William Travers jerome was
in Ottawa today, where ii was de-
clared he was working on a new plan
through which Thaw might be turned
over to the immigration authorities.
Nothing will be doEe, however until
after Thaw is given a hearing on the
habeas corpus writ, issued at the re-
quest of Police Chief Boudreau, of
CoatiCook Thaw will be called into
court tomorrow, despite the attempts
OF his attorneys TO persuade Boudreau
to withdraw the writ.
II is understood that Thaw's counsel
told Boudreau he could not be sued for
damages for false arrest as a result of
his acton in taking Thaw into custody
on a faulty commitment. and further
gave him legal release from claims OF
any kind.
Thaw personally assures Boudreau he
would not bring suit II he would with
draw the writ. but the police chief stood
firm and refused. Attorneys for Thaw
declare they are confident that Justice
Hutchinson will refuse to order his re-
lease tomorrow. In any event, they
can appeal.
