RELEASE ON WRIT EXPECTED

Quebec.
Sherbrooke, Que, Aug. 21.-Harry
x. Thaw may be put across the Ameri.
can border in the state Of Vermont
Immediately, If events in the case of
the fugitive from Matteawan shape
themselves as Canadian officials an.
ticipate.
This was the semi-oficial intimation
as Thaw awaited a hearing on the
habeas corpus writ his counsel &c.
cured,
II Declared Free.
u was not denied that official opin.
lon tnclines to the belief that the
habeas corpus proceedings will result
In Thaw being declared free man.
What will follow. the plans of the
immigration authorities indicate, lies
In the hands Of Inspectors Reynolds
and Williams of Ottawa. These two
officials, Immediately after Thaw is
released by the court, will take him
into custody as an undesirable under
the immigration act and rush the flu.
gitive to Coatioook.
At the immigration office the for.
NAL deportation proceedings will be
conducted In the form Of an official in
Qutry into the manner of Thaw's en-,
trance into the country and his past
history, which debars him from re.
naming in Canada. These formalities
ended, he will be taken on board a
train and conveyed to the border,
where he will be handed over to the
American authorities.
Point Of Deportation.
The point of deportation indicated
will be Island Pond, VT, the nearest
border station, about 20 miles south
Of Coaticook.
A through ticket to Detroit, by
which Thaw, it is believed, hopes ia
evade the authorities, on his journey
through Quebec, to the state of Micht
gan, will not serve that purpose, II
the information of the immigration Of
hcials is correct. Though they have
not been shown the ticket by Thaw
they have learned that it was pur
chased in Coaticook and reads from
that point to Detroit. 1t is not, there
fore. a ticket from one American sta
ton. via Canada, to another foreig1
point. and does not quality a.
through" transportation.
The possible hitch in the deporta
ton plan would be further writ o.
habeas corpus calling upon the immi
grafton authorities to show cause VIII,
Thaw is not eligible to enter Canada
This would further delay action.
Suspect 10 Held.
One OF the five men who spirited
Thaw away is believed to be in iai,
IN sherbrooke. He gave the name O,
Mitchell Thompson" and insisted
that he was resident of Toronto
But both Sheriff Hornbeck and Dis.
trict Attorney Conger of Duchess
county, New YORK, who looked him
over, said he was none other thar
Gentleman Roger" Thompson, late
Of New York city, and reputed chaut
feur Of the black automobile that
whirled Thaw from Matteawan.
Thompson was idling In the supe
rior court room, waiting for the Thaw
case to come up, when the immigra
ton officers arrested him.
He was identified as one of the two
men with Thaw when he reached
Coaticook. He denied that he had
aided Thaw in crossing the border
and maintained that he had met the
fugitive by chance. Notwithstanding
his protestations Of innocence he was
held in $500 bail for a hearing. IN
able to furnish the bond, he was re-
manded to Jail.
Will Seek Extradltion.
Technically, he is charged with aid
ing and abetting lunatic 10 cross
the Canadian border, an offense pun
ishable with $500 fine. If the au
thorities fail to hold him on this
charge, District Attorney Conger will
seek his extradition on warrant
charging Roger Thompson with con
spring with others to defeat justice
IN Hberating Thaw.
II am here to get Thaw," said Mr.
Conger, land get him l will.
"Thaw will surely be returned to
New York state, probably by deporta
ton, as the Canadian government
does not want him on it's hands. II
not by deportation, then by extradi
ton"
Thew was busy man with his cor
respondence and callers yesterday
Most of the former was by telegraph
and he received frequent assurances
Of support from relatives and friends
