slayer OF Stanford White, was sub
nitted this afternoon to Judge
GloDensky in the superior court at
sherbrook by Charles D. White, a
lawyer retained by telegraph over
night by the Thaw family.
This move, regarded at first as a
forma1ity to bring Thaw into court
after his arrest yesterday as a fugi-
tive from Matteawan, was subse-
quently explained by his counsel as
being more significant. They con
tend that he has been detained ille-
gally and that through habeas cor
pus he should be set free at once.
The court announced that 1t would
take the matter under consideration
ut 2:3O O'Clock. Should it grant the
APPLICATION, arguments to sustain the
writ could be heard later, probably
tomorrow, possibly not until next
week. Meanwhile, Thaw remained
a secluded prisoner in the sherbrookc
all. Cautioned by his family not 70
discuss his case, only his lawyers
saw him.
Writ is Granted.
From the hospital ward OF the
prison with two guards Watching
him, Thaw sent out for cigars, fresh
linen and delicacies but he refused
steadfastIy to receive interviewers
even. barring old friends" who had
reported his murder trials and sub
sequent court battles.

SHERBROOKE Quebec, Aug. 20
Harry X. Thaw fugitive slayer of
Stanford White, caught by New
Hampshire sheriff after his sensa-
tional escape from Matteawan, spent
the night in the hospital ward of the
Jail of this little border town and this
morning at the urgent Geographic
demands of his family retained new
counsel to fight deportation to the
United States.
George Lauder Carnegie, his
brother-in-Iaw, wired last night that
he was hurrying here with Thaw's
sister Margaret, and cautioned Thaw
to delay all proceedings if possible
pending his arrival
Meantime Charles d. White recon-
mended to the Thaw family as Sher-
brooke's most astute lawyer took
charge OF the case and at Thaw's
arraignment before a commissioner
this forenoon planned to ask for an
adjournment of the proceedings.
An army of old acquaintance as
it were. newspapermen who reported
the Thaw murder trials in New York,
or followed the recurring sanity pro-
ceedings, clamored around Thaw's
prison cell today One glance was
enough 1t was Harry Thaw. Thaw-
like he had demanded special bedding
on his cot. Thaw-like he talked OF
statements he proposed to issue
though for the time he declined to be
interviewed. He said briefly that he
had slept well.
No Question of Insanity.
The question of insanity was not
embodied in the commitment which
brought Thaw before the immigration
authorities here. He is held merely
as a fugitive from the peniten tiary
at Matteawan." where he was con,
fined ON criminal charge for life
Thaw himself was quick to see the
chances for fighting deportation OF
