Sheriff Drew Of Coos county. New
Hampshire. and former County So
licitor Jacobs finally arrested the
fugitive and put him in the Colebrook

THAW sURRENDERs TAMELY
When Sheriff Drew and Bernard
Jacob. an attorney representing New
York state, caught UP with Thaw the
sheriff approached the fugitive and
said:
4 am the sheriff Of Coos county"
Very well, Mr. sheriq." replied
Fhaw. coolly Il am very hungry;
where can get something to eat?"
The sheriff and Jacobs thought
Thaw, would put up a terrific battle
against arrest and then decided to
keep him under surveillance until the
arrival of William Travers Jerome.
Accordingly, while Thaw was eating
his way through an enormous steak.
Sherin. Drew sat at the sane table
and never let his eyes wander from
The prisoner.
After his luncheon Thaw repaired
10 the lobby of the Monadnock house,
where he had eaten, and ordered a
cigar
Jerome was expected to arrive here
some time in the afternoon and Inn
mediately begin his fight on United
States soil to have Thaw extradited
into New York state on the conspir-
aey warrant sworn out in sDutchess
county. New York.
Big hunting in the north woods"
is Jerome's characterization of the
whole proceeding.
Thew lost complete control of him
self as he was whirled through the
streets OF Coaticook from the immi-
grafton building. He shouted and
waved his arms until he was exhaust
ed. The authorities had purposefy
Shosen an early hour, when few per-
Kons were about.
Mr.. Robertson had TO hold Thaw in
the automobile, the the fugitive
strained with all his might to leap to
the ground. Thaw implored the hand
ful of persons who were attracted by
his screams to help him, but they did
not attempt. to interfere.
This is entirely regular" was Rob-
ertson.s answer to Thaw's protesta~
tinos.
NEWSPAPER MEN WAITING
At Norton's Mills. which is near the
border, number of newspaper CORE
sp6ndents have been stationed for
several. days, awaiting developments
IN the Thaw case.
> The correspondents were upon the
FIELD when q dust covered automobile
stopped and three men leaped from
the car. half carrying another man.
The exhausted man was Harry Ken
dali Thaw
Q Mr Robertson told Thaw that he
was at the gateway OF the United
States and that If he crossed he was
& freeman unless picked up by some
Of the watchful sleuths Of William T.
Jerome.
Thaw's clothing was disarranged
and his face showed streaks OF tear
mixed dust.
Several newspaper correspondents
and others ran toward the scene. One
recognized Thew. Thaw saw a motor
car and explained:
4 will give you any sum in reason
If you VIII take me as a passenger In
that car"
Tfiaw .was bundled into the auto
mobile without ceremony and the
sEsa gty started toward Averill, a few
miles eastward. Some one argued
that. there were a number of de-
ssectives in that part of the country,
$50 a dash was made back to Nortons
MiAs. From Nortons Mills it was de-
'cided TO go to Beecher Falls. where
g Tha.w thought he might attempt to
cross the border.
R0UT ECHANGED AGAIN
At Beecher Falls it was decided to
take another tack, and the automo-
tile sped on to Stewartstown
Not far from this place a stop was
made at a farmhouse. where they got
something TO eat Thaw was nervous
and apprehensive and kept assuring
the newspaper men that he was their
friend and would do anything for
them If they would only help him
cut"
IN the meantime Captain John Lam
yons private detectives, commissioned
by the state OF New York and Duchess
county. to take them back, got on
the trail
Thaw spoke with H. D. Spaulding,
proprietor Of the Lakeside inn at
Averill. The fugitive was diesatis-
fed with the speed of the car in
which he was travelling and asked
directions about hiring another
One that can go as fast as the
devil" was the way the speed low
ing fugitive put II.
Thaw was nervous and anxious to
be going.
The election proceedings were taken
in direct defiance of court proceedings
instituted In this city by Thaw's law
yers and in the face OF an Injunction
holding up the order of deportation
handed down by the immigration
board of inquiry last week.
LAWYERS IN CONSIDERATION
When word was received here from
Coaticook that Thaw had been deport-
ed it created CONSERVATION among
Thaw's lawyers. They had expected to
hold up deportation for six months at
least, possibly a year. and perhaps, II
an appeal were taken to the privy
council, for two years.
JEROME IN THE PLOT
BY the forcible election Of Thaw from
kCanada today the fight shifts to the
kUnited States. unless, by prearranged
plan Thaw is seized by private
! detectives employed by former Dis
Atrict Attorney William T. Jerome
of New York and taken back to Mat
steawan. That evidently was what
lThaw feared as he was being taken
, away from Coaticook He did not have
chance to warn his lawyers to meet
him al the United States line and fight
against his seizure there by repre-
thought that Jerome had gone to Yer
MONT on Monday night.
The virtual kidnapping of Thaw,
upon orders of the dominion govern

from the high court of the land, was
