Guard Prisoner Closely.
reached Ottawa that an attempt might
be made TO rush Thaw away. If he
should be acquitted of the charge on
which he is held so quickly that the
immigration officers would not have
chance to rearrest him. orders were
sent 10 Governor La Force by tele-
graph from Ottawa 10 guard him close
~ until he was handed over into their
custody.
Thaw's lawyers said to-day they in
tended. unless something occurred TO
change their plans. 10 stick TO their
habeas corpus writ. by which they ex-
pect 10 get him free from the charge or
being a fugitive from justice. They will
do this even though II is known that a
warrant for his immediate arrest under
the immigration laws has been issued,
and they believe it has been decided TO
deport him into Vermont. They are
willing. however, TO go to trial on this
issue thinking they can win his case
before the immigration board which
will consider it,
In case they fail here their plan
then is to appeal to the Minister Of
the Interior, who can review the find
ings Of the board at Ottawa. II they
lose there and Thaw goes TO Vermont
they are already preparing for big
fight in that state to prevent his ex-
tradition 10 New York.
William A. Stone. former Governor
of Pennsylvania, who came 10 consult
with Thaw's lawyers, is working on
this end of the case. He was Joined
to-day by w. 4. Blakely, Of Pitts
burgh. District Attorney of Allegheny
County. Penn.
II am not member of Thaw's
counsel" Mr.. Blakely said. but | am
an old friend of his. | came at his
request and as a close friend of his
family. | saw him in his cell to-day
and found him in good spirits. | have
no opinion to express as 10 his case,
except that ! think he is talking too
much and will talk himself back into
Matteawan If he keeps 1t up"
Mr.. Bakely had a conference to-day
with Ex-Governor Stone. He said the
Thaw case was discussed and also a
civil matter that had nothing to do
with it, He left tonight for Pitts
burgh.
Has No Fear at Matteawan.
Thaw was visited in his cell this
morning by Or. q. l.. Hume. local
physician.
Il certainly think Thaw is sane"
said DR.. Hume. Il base this belief on
his wonderful memory and his ex-
traordinary knowledge of law and
medicine"
He said that although Thaw had
sent for him and asked him to adj
minister a sedative. so he could sleep
at night, any man under similar con-
ditions might do the same.
81 have no fear of going back to
Matteawan," Thaw said 10 a jail ply
stefan. Didn't face the electric chair
twice without fear? | had no fear
then. but | didn't deserve 10 go to 1t.
But at times think 1t might have been
best IL had. Then all my troubles
would have been over"
Thaw asked Governor La Force to-
day If there were going TO be services
held in the Jail If so he wanted 10
attend them. He expressed disap-
pointment when told there would be
none.
The Rev. George Mcintosh, pastor CT
the Court Street Methodist Church,
alluded TO the Thaw situation In his
sermon tonight. DR.. Mcintosh after
ward explained as his reason for dong
so that in talking TO members OF his
congregation he found the general hope
expressed that Thaw should not be
handed over TO the Americans, as he
had already had enough punishment.
The better informed members. how
ever. he said, expressed the wish that
Canadian law should take its course
regardless OF other issues. Mr.. Mcln-
tosh said he had heard OF the rumors
that improper influence was being used
in Thaw's behalf.
1T is to be hoped that our Cahsdi1h
courts will maintain their high repi-
tation." he said In his sermon. Pub
lie opinion will be in favor of our laws
taking their proper course without he
ing corrupted by any improper infiu-
ences. My idea is that public opinion
should be in favor of the courts being
absolutely fair and that they shall not
ne detected from the course Of justice
by sinister influence"
