COATTCOQK, QUE. Sept. 3.-The
events of the day were but imperfectly
forecasted at f-o-efock. Shortly be-
fore that hour Magistrate Hutchinson
sent word to the Thaw attorneys and
to the New York State officers that
he might render Judgment this after
noon, but that, on the other hand, he
might be unprepared TO decide as much
of Thaw's fate as was in his hands
until tomorrow morning.
Scarcely. however. had this an
nouncement been made when Hutchin-
son sent out a second message. This
one was a call to all the Canadian at
torneys connected with the case to
come to the magistrates chambers.
As the case yesterday. the New York
attorneys were left out in the cold.
There vas no excitement. Every
thing had been planned by Hutchin-
son with such complete secrecy that
the lawyers themselves were not
definitely told that the Judgment was
to be delivered forthwith. Thaw. pac-
ing the floor OF the hospital ward in
s~herbrooke's Jail. was left completely
in the dark.
When the lawyers for New York
State. as well as those for Thaw. had
arrived at Hutchison's chambers and
found uneasy seats for themselves.
the court drew a bulky package of
fools cap from a table drawer and said
that the judgment was prepared.
There was a restless stir among those
present.
Counsel Denied Hearing.
Charles u. White. X. c., of counsel
for Thaw, sprang 10 his feet. but be-
fore he could speak he was denied
the floor.
THE sheriff will pleasce send direct
" for Harry X. Thaw, and have him
brought to this place"
Half an hour elapsed before Thaw
arrived, Governor LaForce, of the
Jail, was instructed by telephone to
bring the prisoner forthwith. La
Force found Thaw in a nervous state
Of mind.
You're to sc to court immediately"
said ne,
What, to courts r rant Thaw
banged his right fist into the palm
of his left as he spoke. VIVA dc
you mean. l've got to go to court?
/ didn't expect to go until tomorrow"
1t was ten minutes before L4aForce
could convince .Thaw that. he, meant
what he said. hen Thaw. seized by
a foreboding that was to prove corr
rect, insisted on packing his few
clothes in a steamer trunk which he
had purchased. and had sent to the
Jail. At last the prisoner left the

horses. Two husky policemen sat
opposite the jailer and Thaw. A.
third policeman was on the box with
the driver. Thaw, himself, sat a.
straight as a stick.
All Kept Secret.
The entire maneuver had been kept
so completely in the dark that not
of Sherbrooke's citizens knew
what was on loot. Consequently the
half mile of road along which Thaw
was driven afforded n pretty sleepy
stretch of travelling. A few idiers
standing outside the courthouse had
breathed the air OF excitment. and
guessed that something was In tho
wind. When they saw the prisoner
arrive. however. they made no at

luted each group that his carriage

they found him so tonight he prob

two attorneys representing Thaw
pleaded adjournment till $50 tomor

The government has a number OF
