be Sits With Lawyers.
Sherbrooke, Quebec, Aug. 27.-Ihe
most remarkable demonstration ever
Witnessed in the court of justice in
Canada took place today when Judge
Giobensky refused to- hear the attor-
neys for the state of New York argue
the motion of Thaw's attorneys to
dismiss their writ of habeas corpus.
lie said they had no standing in the
court and the big crowd cheered the
judge and Thaw for five minutes.
Thaw's lawyers moved to dismiss the
writ of habeas corpus and the judge
said he would take the matter under
Amusement at three o'clock. 'a.'...
Harry K Thaw in charge of the
prison guards and chief constable
was taken into court at ten o'clock
today. He was in fine fettle and
shook hands with his attorneys. Ca
madam precedents we're set aside
when he was permitted to sit with
his attorneys instead of being placed
in the prison dock.
The trip from the Jail was made in
a closed car. Thaw was not hand
cuffed After he was settled into his
seat Thaw looked around over the
big audience which damned the court
room to suffocation.
Attorneys Greenshield and McEwan,
now in complete charge of Thaw's
case, held an extended conference
with Judge Globensky in his cham
bers prior to the opening of court.
They we're understood to have re-
quested that Thaw be not brought into
@ court today.
Meanwhile Jerome and Crown
Prosecutor Nicol conferred on plans
TO force the Thaw extradition plans.
Following the conference Judge
Globensky directed the sheriff to
bring Thaw to the court house. He
directed that he be held in a private
Office until it was decided whether
arguments in the various phases
would take place in open court.
Judge Globensky refused to hear
the New York state lawyers in oppo-,
sition to Thaw's application for dis
continuance of his application for
writ of habeas corpus. He then an
nounced the entire proceedings ad-
journed until three o'clock, when he
will decide whether to permit the
Thaw lawyers to withdraw.
Thaw Gives Up Fight.
Sherbrooke, Que, Aug. T.-There
was sudden and surprising shift in
the case Of Harry X. Thaw when the
attorneys for the Matteawan fugitive
withdrew the writ of habeas curpus
which was to be acted upon by Justice
Arthur Globensky of the superior
court today.
This action brings to head at once
the conflict between the immigration
officials and Thaw's lawyers as to
whether the former have the right to
deport the prisoner as an undesirable
alien. SRI
The same characters that figured in
Thsw's insanity trials in the United
States will take part In his coming
conflict with the immigration authori-
ties DR.. Britton d. Evans, who has
maintained that Thaw is sane, will be
the chief alienist for the prisoner. DR..
Austin Flint, who has as persistently
maintained that Thaw Is mad, win be
called by Thaws opponents.
William Travers Jerome. former dis
trict attorney of New York, will again
be a prominent figure in opposing the
claims of the prisoner that he is sane.
He declared that he had no doubt that
Thaw would be returned to Mattea-
wan. This brought forth a burst of
anger on Thaw's part when he was In
formed of the statement. He de-
nounced Jerome as "the attorney for
the chicken trust"
Sherbrooke, Que. Aug. 27.-Upon
the advice OF William T. Jerome. for
mer district attorney OF New York.

resenting the state of New York, or
ders were issued to H. La Force. gov
ernor OF the st. Francis Jail, to hold
Thaw incommunicado. Only a few
designated lawyers and alienists may
see Thaw. but the newspaper report
ers may send notes to him. Thaw
ragged at this order and made bitter
verbal attack against Jerome. who
prosecuted the fugitive for the muir
der OF Stanford White.
Bitterly Assaiis Jerome.
Thaw had scarcely finished his
breakfast when he began debating
a story In which he bitterly arraigned
Jerome for shielding the identity OF
vicious rich men during the prison
er's trials In New York for the MUIR
der of Stanford White.
81 am not worrying over Thaw's
threat to test the constitutionality
of the immigration laws and attack
the United States treaty governing
aliens and deportation" said Mr..
Jerome. Speed and economy are
the watchwords of the Canadian
courts. They deal out Justice that is
NOT impeded and tangled with tech
nicalities and complications Ex-Gov-
etnor william Stone is mighty poor

Thaw would be on Canadian soil
