Thaw's Counsel Paralyzed.

Montreal, Sept. 10.-Members of Thaw's family and his lawyers here were dumfounded when they learned that the fugitive had been deported,
 q am simply paralyzed" said J. N. Greenshields, K. C., Thaws chief counsel. 'I cannot understand it. With writ of prohibition and habeas corpus out. it seems to me to be ut terly impossible to believe. It is all beyond me. It certainly is disgrace to the country and to our adminis- tration of the law. All we can do if Thaw has been forced across the line is to bring Robertson, the assistant superintendent of the immigration department before the court of kings bench, but what good will that do us?"
 MT. Greenshields received a tele- gram from Thaw's secretary notify ing him that Thaw had been taken to Norton Mills, Vt.
 w. K Mckeown, another of the Thaw counsel. said: Deportation of Thaw. in the face of the writ of ha- beas corpus, certainly looks like con- tempt of the court of appeals"

The situation Harry Thaw finds himself in today is by far the most extraordinary that has marked the progress of his sensational case sine, he fled from Matteawan August r. Believing this morning that he was being kidnapped. he resisted forcibly his removal from Coaticook only tt find that the outcome of his quick dash to American territory was tC bring unexpected freedom and place him in the hands of the men who up to the present time had devoted their energies to the reporting of his case Thaw was dazed at the suddenness of the mornings events. Without his array of legal counsel he did not know where to turn for advice After a brief consultation with the news paper men, the automobile hired by the reporters. with Thaw in it. went to Aerhill.
 Here brief stop was made. and by 10 o'clock he had crossed the Yer mont line into New Hampshire.
 Progress of the Fugitive.
 On reaching Norton Mills. Vt.. where he had been taken by the Do- minion immigration officials. Thaw entered the correspondents automo- bile and proceeded to Averhill, a small village, where he had breakfast.
 Engaging another car, the Mattea- wan fugitive and the correspondents passed through Canaan and then crossed the river into New Hamp- was probably due to his knowledge that warrant for his arrest was awaiting service in that state
 ThaW had no plans for the future. His deportation was complete sur prise to him, and he was highly ex- cited.
 Up to the time he crossed the Con- necticut river, no step to interfere with his flight was taken. and he be- lieved that the Vermont and New Hampshire authorities had not been informed of his removal from Canada.
 Thaw knew his route perfectly, ap- parently having studied it in detail before leaving Matteawan. The last heard from him here he was return ing south by the same road he took when he fled towards Canada.

 At Norton Mills Thaw left the automobile of the Canadian immigra- ton authorities and clisnbed into the ear of several newspaper correspond- ehts who had accompanied him and made the journey to Averhill in their company. He said that his sudden departure was a surprise and that his plans were all ia the air.
 ThaW was astonished when the Canadian Immigration officials told him at Norton Mills he was free to go Wherever he liked. He got out of the Canadian automobile and stood gazing helplessly around, when the newspaper men, who had followed, offered him room in their car. He gladly accepted the offer
 This thing has been sucl, sur prise to me- he said, that l don't know yet what 1 shall do.'

 Acquisition on Vermont.
 Albany, x. Y., Sept. 10.-A requisi- tion upon the governor of Vermont for the return to New York State of Harry K. Thaw was signed by Acting Governor Glynn recently and sent on for use in the event of Thaw being returned to the Vermont border by Canadian immigration officials. Mir. Glynn was advised today of the latest move in the Thaw case, but declined to comment on it. Superintendent John B. Riley of the State prison de- partment expressed surprise when informed that Thaw was in Vermont ''I hope he will be in MatteaWan by night" he remarked.
 William T. Jerome and Deputy General Franklin Kennedy spent the night at Manchester on their way to Albany.
 Later representative of the attor- ney generals office succeeded in To- eating Mir. Kennedy at Manchester and he was informed that the move of the immigration officials today was surprise to both Kennedy and Jerome. They had expected that nothing more would be done until September 15.
 Acting Governor Glyln today sent telegrams to the governors of Yer mont and New Hampshire, asking that Thaw be held pending action by the New York authorities.
 Attorney General Carmody sent similar message to the governor of Maine, and the Massachusetts author ities probably will be notified.

 "This purposely deferred visit or myself and younger son, J. C. ThaW, as we'll as the second visit of my daughter and her husband, MT. and Mrs. George L. Carnegie, are purely family matters, prompted by affec- tionate interest in the son and brother, H. K. Thaw.
 It is not the intention of any of us to interfere in the slightest degree with H. K. Thaw or his counsel in the management of his case. It has been demonstrated already that he is abu2dantly able to manage his own affairs

 The shift of his fortunes just at the time when he thought the ermine was thrown protectingly about him, so jared Thaw's plans that his at temps to escape the clutches of those looking for him were abortive. Even when he had an opportunity to board the train his joy riding esotism displayed itself in his desire to have his identity known every where he stopped. This made it comparativel simple for Sherlff Drewto follow his movements. Drew had been ordered to watch for ThaW by William Travers Jerome, who had flashed telegrams in all directions as soon as he learned of the action of the Canadian officials.

 After being shaved he went to Lawyer Johnson's office, where he put the latter through catechism.
 My deportation this morning and the manner in which it was accom- plished was one of the most out rageous things in the history of Ca nada," declared Thaw.
