Tor any cards up their sleeves, they
gave no hint of 1t.
Thaw's last slender hope today was
that the board of inquiry might find
him sane, but his lawyers refused to
say that they subscribed to that for
lorn hope. The board Of inquiry met
again at $3.50 a. m.
L. T. Marechal, counsel for the

Thaw attorneys that any fight they
might make against the decision of
the board OF inquiry would probably
result in Thaw's deportation direct to
Matteawan instead Of into Vermont.
