THAW ELECTED FROM CANADA
THREE MEN FORCIsLY RUSH
PRISONER OVER LINE.
6ewildered and Helpless, Thaw Fran
tically Gets Himself Captured Again.
Dashes Wildly About in Motor

Colebrook, N. Hilary X. Thaw'
fugitive from Matteawan, is now on
American soil, after one of the most
exciting days in his career.
Thrust Unexpectedly over the Cana
dian border early Wednesday, despite
the writ of habeas corpus demanding
his production before the kings bench
in Montreal next Monday, he was for
three hours a free man, and during
that time drove madly in an automo-
bile for fifty futile miles through the
hills of Vermont and New Hampshire.
Near noon he ran into the arms OF a
New Hampshire sheriff and was
brought to Colebrook, where he re-
tanned counsel to resist extradition.
William Travers Jerome will assume
charge of the case for New York State
seeking to have Thaw, as ward OF
the state, returned to MatteaWan.
Meantime Thaw is detained
charged with no crime, held on no
warrant. Fearing kidnapping at the
hands of officers from New York, ne
asked for a special guard, and Chlel
of Police Kelly swcre in twelve spe
cial deputies, all armed. They patrol
the streets about Thaw's hotel. Judge
Chamberlain of the superior court Will
hear the application of Thaw's law
yers for a writ of habeas corpus.
ThaW's removal from the immlgra
ton quarters at Coaticook was sud
den and dramatic. Three mysterious
men who said they represented e. )
Doherty, the dominion minister of JUS
tice, and acting minister of the In
terror, appeared before O'CLOCK
Thaw was asleep. They woke LIN
I'D, commanded him to dress and aftel
a struggle in which he tried to brair
one of them with glass tumbler, toot
him to the border.
Thaw screamed as they brought hin
down the stairway. Don't let then
kidnap me-" he cried. Save me. TO-
Gods sake"
Silent, determined, the officers hell
him firmly and, though struggle as HI
might, he had to go. A few minutes
after s o'clock he was on his way Il
the border.
Instead of protracted legal battl
in the Canadian courts, his case, a
far as Canada was concerned, was owe
in twinkling.
Thaw's appeal against the order O
deportation returned last week ha
been denied and, writ or no writ, Car
ada was to be rid of him at once.
