DEFENSE WILL BE THAT CON-
SPIRACY CHARGE Is A
BASE SUBTERFUGE
And That Thaw Will Never Be
Tried on That Charge-Kid-
mapping RumOrs Afloat.

CoLEBRoOK. n. H. Sept. IA
The protracted court battle denied
Harry n. Thaw in Canada by his sud
den deportation on "Wednesday prom
ises TO be- waged in New Hampshire.
His newly retained counsel hopes to
have personal hearing before Cover
nor Felker on the matter of extradi-
ton and should extradition be grant
ed To carry the matter TO the state
supreme court on writ OF habeas
corpus. Three of these attorneys-N.
+; Martin. of Concord; Willard II.
Shurtleff Of Colebrook-hurried to
the capital to-day.
Sheriff Hornbeck. OF Duchess
county. y. Y. wherein is located the
Matteawan asylum from which Thaw
escaped. was enroute here tonight
with the requisition warrant signed
by Acting Governor Glynn.
As the document must first be laid
before Governor Felker. the New
York lawyers were Chagrined at the
sheriff's mistake in heading for Cole
brook. Upon his arrival he or some
other representative of the state in
tercsts will be turned back TO Con-
cord. Why Hornbeck started for
this place was mystery to William
Traysrs Jerome. who has for three
weeks been trying TO get Thaw back
TO the asylum.
Wednesday next. according TO
Thaw's lawyers. they expect TO have
their hearing before Cove NOR Felker
They estimate that three days Will
elapse before he can render a de-
cisiOn. II this is adverse they will
apply at once for writ OF habeas
corpus. Argument on this would
likely be postponed for another week.
This would mean days of weary
waiting unless Jerome could engineer
some coup. He has in mind now a
plan instantly TO siezo the fugitive in
case his deportation is ordered. thus
blocking efficiency Of the habeas COR
pus writ by concealing from the
Thaw counsel the identity OF the In
diviual TO whom Thay would be given
in charge. The writ would have to
be directed against the prisoners
custodian at the time and II Jerome
could work quickly enough and with
sufficient secrecy his plan might be
successful.
Estradition a Subterfuge.
In view of the intention of fighting
the case out al Concord. Thaw was
not brought into court in Colebrook
to-day. and II Is probable that his
hearing will be postponed again to-
morrow and on Monday he will be
taken to the capital preparatory to
the arguments for and against sur
rendering him TO New York. The
chief argument ~ his lawyers Will be
that New York seeks his extradition
on charge OF conspiracy-a charge
which they contend New York never
purposes 10 try him on. They will
contend that eXtradition in such cir
cumstances IS subterfuge and that
there are precedents 10 sustain them
in This
Thaw left his hotel room for out

barber shop. The sheriff and ten
special guards accompanied him. Ru-
