Iic Is to be produced then before Judge Globensky Of the superior court on d writ of habeas corpus obtained oy ms counsel this afternoon
 Canadian Authorities to DePort Him. Il the writ is sustained he will be free man. But for how long he Will De fvec is problematical Dominion nm filCra ton authorities. watching every move in tne case, announced tonight that they stand ready to detain him should he be released and then take steps to thrust him back across the border as an undesirable alien either at the New Hampshire line where he entered the dominion or at some point in New York state.
 Tha~ is Close Mouthed.
 Facing such a situation. Stanford Whites cratic slayer. ordinarily To- uuacious has shut his lips tight and for once in his life has refused to be interviewed. He has talked vaguely of matters not appertaining to his es- cape. but not one word has come from him regarding his flight from Mattea- wan or Of the inception of the plot that led to his delivery or of the five men who spirited him away
 Alleged Confederate Arrested.
 Of these five. one is believed to be in i4ii in SherbroOke. He gave the name of Mitchell Thompson and insisted ftaI he was a resident of Toronto. But both Sheriff HoTnbeck and District At torney Conger of Duchess county, N. Y. who looked him over today. said he was none other than Gentleman Roger Thompson, late of New York clv and reputed chauffeur of the black automobile that whirled Thaw from Natteawan at more than SO miles an hour
 Arrested in Courtroom.
 Thompson was i6ling in the superior courtroom waiting for the Thaw case CO como up when~the immigration of= rrers arrested him. He was quickly identified as one Of the two men with Thsw when he was arrested near Coslticook yesterday He denied that hc had aided Thaw in crossing the border and maintained that he had met the fugitive by chance. Notwith- standing his protestatiOns of innocence he was held in $500 bail for a hearing Friday Unable to furnish the bond he was remanded to jail
 Probable Violation of Canadian Law, Technically he is charged with aid- ing and abetting a lunatic to cross the Canadian border, an offense punishable with a $500 fine. If the authorities fa1l 10 hold him on this charge. District Attorney Conger will seek his extradi- ton on a warrant charging Roger Thompson with conspiring with others to defeat the ends of justice in hber- atfng Thaw. The warrant is here and ready. but will not be pressed until the immigration law violation has been tested.
 Question of Tha~'s Insanity Involved ThompsOn's defense, it is understood VIII emphasize (provided he admits coming across the border with ThaW) the contention that Thaw has not been found insane in Canada and that as- sisting him to enter was, therefore. not a violation Of the law In this way the question of Thaw's sanity will be in- volved in the procedure separate from his own case.
 Dodsed Camera Men.
 Thompson's arrest in the courtroom to-day was unnoticed by the casual spectators. The, prisoner dodged the camera squad while being removed to jail Shielding his face with 8 hand lyerchief. he broke into a run, greatly 10 the alarm of the aged deputy who had him in charge. and stopped only when bystanders began a hue and cry Then. still holding his handkerchief oNe or his face. he went quietly to jail and was lodged in a cell not far from Thsw-
 The court where Thaw will appear tomorrow is a roomy. well lighted modern structure. It is far superior srchitecturslly 10 the criminal courts building in New York where the Thaw murder trials were staged
 Thaw Remained in Jail All Day.
 Those who expected picturesque French Cana dian scenes were sadly |fszrpoiuted The learned judge did uf a 10 a m cation for the writ of hsbess corpus I'm private. Thaw remained throughout fAr day in the jail on the crest of 3 hin half 2 mile away. Openly parti- san 10 the fugitive in their gossip the tnEnEpeople evertheless showed their comparative lack of interest by theiI absence from the courthouse. Though there are 10000 persons in Sherbrooke less than 300 came 10 court OI these -1 were women.
 Messrs. Conger and Hornbeck waited hEe the others for the disposition ot the Thsw case and departed with the immigration authorities when it was announced that the application for the writ of hsbsas corpus had been grant ed and would come up for argument in the morning.
 Confident of Extradition.
 T am here to get Thaw." said MT. ConEer. Get him l will.'
 Thaw will be surely returned to New York state continued the dis trict attorney. probably by deporta.- ton. as the Canadian government does not want him on it's hands
 If by chance our plans to secure Thzw by depOrtatlo fall through (and can barely imagine such q contin- reDcy) you may be sure there will be a strong ease against him to bring ex- tradition. It would not be proper at fAls time Ia sag upon l1st what grounds se shah move
 Thas Receives Many Tslssran1s.
 AIT ConEer carries with him a war rant charging Thaw and his i've de- nwerers with conspiracy but he admit ted that it's efficacy was uncertain. s-Thax is the least of my worries though" he added.
 Thaw was a busy man with his cor r~<pendence and callers today. Most cf the former was hy telegraph and he rcceiN ed frequent assurance of support from relatives and from friends. His
