Sherbrook, Aug. 23---Harry X.
Thaw, squabbling with the Domin-
ions leading lawyers, retained to
prevent his return to Mattewan
state hospital for the insane from
when he escaped last Sunday, was
tonight apparently as much in ig-
norance Of the next move of his case
as the casual idIer around the jail
For two hours his counsel conferr-
cd debating whether they would
produce Thaw In court on a writ or
habeas corpus next Wednesday or
abandon the writ and surrender him
to the immigration authorities and
countenance his deportation to Yer
mont, a procedure to which it was
said here immigration officials have
agreed.
Thaw was conferred with as to
his preference but 1t resulted in no
decision. Thaw was loquactous, er-
ratio, and domineering and it was
decided to wait the arrival of Roger
O'Mara, his detective body guard.

His mail was censored. The Off
cials shook their heads knowingly
at one line in a letter from his
mother. 1t read:
! Ny cleverness is not exhausted
yet
The sudden departure from Sher-
brooke of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Lauder Carnegie, Thaw's brnther-in-
law and sister. added to the sus-
picons of the officials.
, Meanwhile Thaw protested Wig
orously against his isolation and
the guards about his jail and denied
any plans for his escape.
DO you think | am going to bat
ter my way through these thick
walls?' demanded the prisoner of
Governor Laforce "They are also
mistaken if they think / am going
| to harm myself. DO people think |
| would be fighting so hard for my
just freedom if / was thinking of
suicide?"
Col. II. r. Fraser, c. d. White,
w. II. McKeon N. X Laflamme and
J. N. Greenshield, all lawyers for
Thaw, said that they would hold a
consultation some time today and
canvas the case from every angle.
"The further we go with the case
the more certain we become that
Thaw viii never go back to Mattea-
wan" said Colonel Frazer.
The officials OF the Department
If immigration are marking their
ime and doing nothing. There was
apparently nothing for them to do
with Thaw in Jail and his custody
entirely in the hands of the court.
Doctors Call Thaw Sane.
Dr. W. A. Sterling, DR., G. l..
Hume and Dr. J. 0. Ledoux, who
examined Thaw at the request OF

to the effect that Thaw is rational
and sane.
THE doctors put Thaw through
all the regulation medical tests and
he fulfilled the requirements in
each one, said DIR. Evans. "Of
course, he is little apprehensive
over the outcome of his fight and
consequently nervous, but any man
would be affected in that way in
| Thaw's position. | -helieve we will
have no trouble at all in convincing
/ the government of Thaww's sanity"
Before leaving Mrs. George Lau-

THIRD TO DIE THAT WAY

By coming into contact with

wire of the Traction Company. jess
Fagin, lineman employed by the
former, was electrocuted yesterday
afternoon while at work on pole
in the Drainage District near the
office of the Indian Refining Com
.pany.
It is thought the accident occurred
about 3 O'Clock Fagan and another
lineman. win Wood had gone into
the District to repair lines that had
been down since the storm of several
evenings ago. Wood left his part
ner to go in another direction, on the
Sycamore road.
When he came back to the yicin-
ity of the Indian Refining Compahy's
office and drew nearer to the pole
whore Fagin had been working, he
noticed his fellow workman's body
dangling from it's position AS he
came near he realized Fagin was
dead. He called to Manager E. r
Aisthorpe who was over on the syc-
amore road in his machine and they
succeeded in getting the body down
from the pole by rope He had
been dead at least half an hour.
Fagen's safety belt had caught on
one Of the brackets on the pole thus
holding his body there. without
this he would have fallen to tn,

Pittsburgh, Pa, Aug. 23.--
} 1t became known here today
} that the Orphans Court Of
, Allegheny county is to decide
, during the September term
, whether Harry Thaw will
, receive the income from his
} fathers estate, which since
1908 has been acumulating in
the vaults of the Fidelity
Trust company,
In the first disposition of
the estate the executors gave
him $l44,625. The accumu-
} lated income now amounts 10
i 160,780, and the remainder
of his estate now amounts to
$443, ,342.71, making a total
} of $604,122.
Thaw recently demanded
$4,000 from the trust COM
pany and Judge Miller has
ordered the company to show
cause why the money should
not be paid.
The Cairo bulletin., 1913-08-24

'estigatiOns are completed.
What the next move of the Cana
liam authorities will be is uncer-
ain. Just before the examination
was ordered attorneys for the gov
ernment had announced that they
planned to prove Thaw insane and
ieport him as un undesirable alien.
Cable to Kings Uncle.
Thaw's lawyers also made another
important move They cabled to
the Duke of Connaugh, uncle OF
King George Of England and Cover
nor General of Canada The Duke
5 now visiting in England.
The cablegram urged him to ex-
ercise his royal prerogative to pre-
vent Thaw being turned over to the
New York authorities.
A later appeal may be made to
King George himself as under the
Canadian law, it has been found
that in such cases as Thaw, a man
has the right to carry his plea to
The very foot of the throne of Eng
land.
The lawyers also suggested to
Thaw that he buy property in Can
ada and take steps to become nat
uralized as a British subject. This,
they told him, would prevent his de-
portation.
Twelve heavily armed men paced
back and forth today before the
walls of the stone prison, in which
Thaw is confined.
Although the Jail is a massive
structure, with great iron bars in
the windows and cumbersome oaken
doris, the officials took the extra
precaution for three reasons.
First-They feared an attempt by
Thaw to escape from Jail.
Second They were aroused by
rumors that people interested in
returning Thaw to the asylum at
Matteawan would try to kidnap
him
Third They freely admitted
fear that the citizens of Sherbrooke
and the surrounding country who
are making holiday of Thaw's S
presence here, might organize a
mob, attack the Jail and free Thaw.
There was considerable talk of such
a plan here today among the
crowds. which still linger about the
jail. The people were aroused also
by an editorial in the Sherbrooke
Record, captioned British Fair
Play"
Governor Laforce also ordered
Thaw isolated and no one except his
attorneys were permitted to see him
today.

Health Officer Clarke makes COM
plant that some few grocers are in
the habit of displaying watermelons
outside their places Of business on
the walks where they are too easily
gotten at by friendly CANNES. He
also claims that several have disre-
garded his orders in regard to keep
ing cats out of the stores,
1t is said that Dr. Clarke will
make at the next council meeting
somo startling disclosures in regard
to the ice cream samples (which
he secured a short time ago and
subjected to chemical analysis
and microscopical examination IN
order TO determine what they were
manufactured from.
Dr Clarke refused to make any
comment upon this, sying that the
subject would be fully covered in
his report at Mondays council
meeting without any attempt to
conceal anything relevant to the
matter.
