Sc OF ASSISTANT
Cones Up in Court But is
Postponed to Strengthen
the Charges.

sIIERBROOKE, Quebec. Aug. 22.-
The hearing in the case OF the self
styled ''Mltchell-Thompson" arrested
by the immigration authorities
charged with aiding lunatic, Harry
K. Thaw, in crossing the Canadian
frontier, was postponed today until
Friday
Thompson was arraigned before
Police Judge Mulvena, shortly after
10 o'clock o'clock. F. Campbell act
ing Jointly for the Dominion Depart
ment of Immigration and the Duchess
county authorities asked that the
case be put over on the ground that
documents from Matteawan showing
that Thaw had been confined there
and is insane have not arrived here
Thompson came into court disguised
by a pair of smoked glasses. Pictures
of Gentleman Roger" had arrived in
the night and Sheriff Hornbeck, of
Duchess county, holding one OF these
and. gazing at the prisoner. said;
who could miss it; it certainly is
Roger" Thompson said not a word.
The little court room on the floor
below the superior court where
Thaw's habeas corpus hearing is to
come up was packed to the doors.
The judge listened patiently while
counsel wrangled over the date for
the hearing. All of Thaw's lawyers
were present.
Thaw has been advised by certain
of his counsel, 1t was learned today,
to buy property in Canada and take
steps to become naturalized as a
British subject. This, it was held,
would prevent his deportation.
Thaw appeared this morning to
have spent restless night. His hair
was desheveled. his collar awry ard
his eyes staring. His breakfast, laid
out on a bench for him had not been
touched. He said again today that
he hoped soon to ne able to give an
account of his escape. Today he was
jotting down notes on the incident.
He had been supplied with the New
York and Montreal newspapers and
read every word bearing on his case.
The inside" motive for the immi-
grafton authorities causing the
Thompson case to be postponed lies
in the fact that the charge on which
he is held is punishable only with a
fine. He could pay this at once and
decamp for parts unknown. The
warrant from Duchess county charg-
ing him with conspiracy is not re-
garded as sufficient basis for extfadi-
ton. To patch up this loop hole more
time is needed.
The governor" of the Sherbrooke
jail laughed today when asked if
special guards had been detained to
watch Thaw He denied that this
was true, but it is understood that
precaution measures have been taken
at the request of District Attorney
Conger, OF Duchess county, and his
allies. the immigration authorities.

Studying Disguised Handwriting.
When reached Detroit, I called up
on one Of the telegraph companies;
and at this point il may be noted how
necessary it is to appear confident in
order to succeed in securing the infOr-
nation one is after. When I presented
a portion of the letter to the chief
operator of the telegraph company, in
stead Of asking him whether or not he
could tell who the writer was from
an examination Of the handwriting, !
made the bold statement that the
writer Of the letter was at that time
in his employ. This at once had the
effect Of stimulating the chief operator
in his endeavor to find out who The
writer was.
After making a careful examination
of the letter he admitted that there
was a certain familiarity about the
writing, but said he was sure the
writer was not then employed by his
company. I assured him, however, that

while being Intercepted by Francis
J. Heney. who was at that time assist
ant to the United States attorney
general, and who was conducting the
investigation before the grand jury,
stated that there was q partnership
agreement, drawn up at the time or
the formation of the partnership be-
tween senator Mitchell and himself,
which contained a stipulation whereby
all moneys received by the firm for
Washington were to go to judge Tan
merit being. of course, a violation
of the federal statutes for senator
Mitchell to accept money earned in this
way.
Here was the trac6-wide, broad, and
deep-and yet those two clever law
yers entirely overlooked ii. Why the
necessity Of such clause! This sug-
gested suspicious circumstances, and
therefore, led me to make a close scru-
tiny Of the contract. which was pro
duced by judge Tanner and was turned
over to me by Mr.. Heney.
On investigation, / found a water
mark in the paper. and two misspelled
words in the document; L also noted
that a dark ribbon had been used in
its typewriting. And how simple was
the procedure that led to the undOtnS
OF these meni Ny investigation dis
paper had not been manufactured IN
til 1903, while the date Of the con-
tract between senator Mitchell and
judge Tanner written on this paper
was dated 1901. 1t was, therefore, a
physical impossibility for this particu-
lar contract to have been written at
the time stated by them.
Watermark Helps.
Further investigation disclosed the
fact that judge Tanners son was. at
the time Of the Investigation, acting
as the stenographer of the law firm.
Therefore it was fair to assume that
if this contract was written as a de
fence this young man had done the
typewriting He was Immediately
called before the grand jury, He de-
MED typewriting a partnership agree
ment between his father and senator
Mitchell
He was asked then and there to write
a letter. dictated by Mr.. Heney, in
which Mr.. Heney used the two mis-
PEELED words found in the partnership
agreement-the word salary was
spelled .saIery." and the word con
stituent' was spelled constituent"
Judge Tanners son misspelled these
two words Just as he had written them
in the partnership agreement
When judge Tanner was confronted
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1913-05-10

by this situation he came into open
court and confessed to perjury.
Again interested in the psychology
OF such a situation, I asked the judge
How in the world is IT possible that
YOU walked into such a trap-men as
learned in the law as you and senator
AIitchelI-especia in view OF the TACT
OF the high place you have held In this
community, having been a judge on

I remember, when we were aLter
Brockway, DR.. Bradford, Jimmy Court

Three or four days before we arrested
BrOckway. a. L. DrummOud, for a short
time chief of the Secret service, came
out in a newspaper article in which
he said that BrOckWay was then lead

some time
When we made the raid on the en-
