Sherbrooke. Quebec, Aug. 26.-Harry
X. Thaw's many lawyers. fearful lest
he hurt his case with the erratic con-
duct Of his self planned press cam
paign, shut him on from all interview
ers today.
They obtained an order from the
sheriff to the governor Of 6herbrooke
jail. that no one should Seo Thaw ex-
cspt In the presence Of some one Of his
counsel. The order serves two pur-
poses. First. It prevents Thaw from
giving out more rambling Interviews
except by surreptitious messengers;
second. 1t would prevent statement
from him in which he might reveal
something about the plot resulting In
his release from the asylum.
A cold rain kept the Newspaper men
and others brought hero by the case ih-
doors today. where foe and friends
swapped theories ana predictions and
mutually agreed that even now. ten
days after Thaw's break for liberty
legal moves for and against his return
were In q state Of chaos.

T. B. Williams. Of the dominion i'm

day as saying he placed no faith IN
Thaw's chances Of testing the immi-
grafton act in the court.
