wanted a picture. Again Thaw balked. He
could not consent to it-could not even
consider it--unti he put on a clean shirt
and collar He explained that he had
| had no opportunity to change his clothes
since leaving Matteawan.
! Thaws two companions surpassed hsn
/ in reticenee All the newspapers could

them is five feet, eight or nine incfss

| II. X. Thaw, whose spectacular flight
from the Mattewan asylum ended today
with his arrest at Coatcook may be sent
hack to New York on either of two
grounds, namely:
/ Fftst-Throu2h deporta ton proceedings
under the dominion law which provides.
| mo immigrant shall be permitted to
| land in Canada who Is feeble minded, aa
idiot or epileptic or who is insane or who
has had an attack of insanity within five
years; nor shall any immigrant be so
landed who is deaf and dumb or blind or
| il firm unless he belongs to a family ac-
companying him already in Canada
which gives security satisfactory to the
minister and in conformity with the reg
rlations in that behalf for his permanent
support if admitted to Canada"
Second-Through extradition proceed
'ngs, instituted by the state of New York
and conducted by the proper federal au-
thcrities oil a warrant for Thaws arrest
charging him of bribery. He cannot be
cxsradited on the warrant already issued
in New York charging conspiracy, in the
opinion of the authorities, because exist
ent treaties deal only with the brand
of conspiracy relating to revolt against
the master of a ship on the high seas A
rev warrant charging bribery, the au-
thor1ties believe, would have to be sworn
out.
May Not Deport Him
lhere Is, OF course, a possibility that
canada will not deport him and will de-
cline to honor an extradition requisitIon
issued by the United States. To these
possibilities the wealthy slayer of Stan
Iord White addressed his attention ana
that OF his counsel tonight, preparatory
TO al hearing in his case set for two.
After his first flush of excitement Thaw
mas been quiet This has been due almost
wholly to his counsel, w. L. Shurtleff,
hurriedly retained, after Thaw had been
arrested by the village constable Shu,t-
ien edmonton not to talk checked the
prisoners speech as effectually as a gag
beiore Shurtleff was retained however
ihdW see-sawed with declarations that
| ne was Thaw and he was not Thaw. He
frankly admitted his identity when first
uetected vet offered to bet the constable
Si0 tnat he wasn't Thaw when arrested
tie tod the deputy sheriff who caused
| his arrest that he was T,haw. hut Stub
bornlv resisted the suggestion as to his
ioentity while in the Jail at Coaticook
Only 10 break down in the end, acknowl-
edge his name and send dispatches which
fivetted the already certain identification.
These kilograms We're ADDRESSED to Mrs
wary nav MS mothr to Roger O'Mara,
tne lhaw FAMILY detective, and others
who have played leading roles in his at
tempts TO obtain liberty by legal means
The keen wit and eye of a rural deputy
sheriff enmeshed Thaw once more in the
processes of the law, and while the crack
detectives of eastern cities were seeking
him the village constable here took him
into custody.
Heard Conversations
Burleigh H. kelsea, deputv sheriff of
koos county,. N. H., boarded n Maine
Central train at Lancaster last night and
sat down in the smoker to read his paper
| He was we'll on his way to Colebroolx his
home, when he heard the conversation of
men in the seat behind him. They We're
asking one another the name of the coun-
ty seat of the county through which they
We're passing. None of them knew.
A well built man of erect figure. whose
dark hair was slightly sprinkled with grav
and into whose eyes there was stamped
an unusual stare, arose and came to Kel-
seas seat. The stranger wanted to know
the name of the county seat. Something
In his manner, or it may have been the
strange light in his eyes-Kelsea doesn't
recall which-caused the deputy to study
the face before him. He had seen it be-
fore somewhere, he thought AS he CROPPED
back into his recollection for the answer
his eyes fell to the open newspaper in
his lap.
Kelsea started. On the page before him
was the picture of the man whoxwas
speaking. 1t was labelled in faring type,
with the name Harry K. Thaw'
There was no installing it. The man
and the picture were one. Kelsey looked
at his questioner silently.
You don't know who am, do your
asked the stranger quickly.
II think / could give good guess
Kelsey replied.
