While these EXPLANATIONS were be-
ing shot forth from excited lips there
was steady sound of kissing meant
for the officer who was taking Sher-
brooke's hero to Jail. just as Thaw
was about to step into carriage after
an ovation. a young woman wriggled
her way out OF the mob and patted
the prisoner. on the back. I'm sorry
for you. Harry" she said, and that
was all.
w. Shurtlen, of Coaticook, and
Colonel II. r. Frazier, of Sherbrooke,
were straightway retained by Thaw.
This morning Charles ID. White, OF
this place, was retained by telegraph
sent by George Lauder Carnegie.
Thaw's brother-inlaw. from New
York. White superseded Shurtleff
and Frazier
Before noon today counsel had
called On Thaw in the Sherbrooke
jail and a line OF defense was mapped
out
Claim Complaint Invalid.
The complaint on which Thaw is
being held is what the attorneys for
Thaw are going to base the first part
of their fight. They say and will so
say tomorrow morning In court that
THIS document is Invalid because of
its many errors and that Thaw can
not be legally held on it. There are
three flaws in the complaint. SO At
torney White says, They are:
First, Thaw has committed No Of
Tense against the laws of Canada.
second, that the officer who made
the charge and arrest also swore out
the commitment papers and executed
the warrant. 1t Is contrary to Cana
dian law to have one officer to do all
OF these things
is being held bSfore he had hearing,
another point contrary to the laws OF
this country.
Attorneys Cause Delay.
Attorney Shurtlcff had intended to
sue for writ of habeas corpus the
first thing this morning before Justice
eff the Superior Court Arthur Glob-
ensky. who has this sign on the glass
door OF his chambers; IN. lie Juge
Arthur Globensky." Mr. Carnegie's
telegram changed his mind and short
ly after 10 o'clock, the hour set for
the application. 1t became evident that
| Thaw's attorneys were scheming for
delay. They sent around word to jus
1 tice Globensky that they were having
4 trouble with deposition for Thaw to
sign.
The Justice did not care and said
+ so. little after noon all three at
d torneys went to the Jail and were

contents were not made public,
Briefly. 1t is known, they set forth
about the same three points that the
defense had picked against the com

] Apply for Habeas Corpus.
, 1t was nearly 2 O'Clock, while an
l excited crowd was still hanging about
the courthouse because of the Thomp-
son arrest that the three attorneys
went before Judge Globensky and
sued for their writ of habeas corpus.
1t was granted Immediately and made
returnable tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock.
Should Thaw not be released by his
habeas corpus proceedings extradition
$ papers will be applied for. Z. A. Con-
q ger, district attorney OF Duchess
r county, thinks that Thaw will be re-

Thaw's chances of staying in this

/ Deportation Seems Cerctain.
If Thaw Is released they viii

s. lock him up again in the Sherbrooke
/ Jail.
Z There is little doubt here as ia
a whether or not Thaw will have any
chance of appeal. The concensus OF
/, opinion seems TO be that he viii moi

Is shire.
District Attorney Conger had talk

u today, but they wouldn't say where
II they will send Thaw until instruc,

y Attorney Conger intends to leave
Sherbrooke for Matteawan tom row
to get warrant charging Thaw with

morrow there Will be an attempt made
by the New York State officials to Sc
cure delay and debate on the validity
of the warrant charging conspirac,
that they may be ready when the time
comes with the warrant charging bri

dian authorities will deliver Thaw
