cision in this matter rested with Su-
perior Judge Glohensky, sent down here
from Montreal to preside during the
so-called "long vacation" of the court.
He Is due to return to Montreal to-
night and should he grant adjourn

week.
This jockeying of procedure related
solely to the present charge against
Thaw. that Of being a fugitive from
Matteawan. Other proceedings Of the
immigration authorities were held. in
allegiance pending the outcome.
Sheriff Hornbeck, of Dutchess coun-
ty. New York, where Matteawan Is .lo-
Gated, reached here this afternoon
armed with the warrant issued at
Poughkeepsie. charging Thaw with
conspiring with Keeper Barnum and
five other men to obtain Thaw's re-
lease. The sheriff said he would bide
his time until the superior court had
taken action.
Sherbrooke, Quebec. Aug. 2O.-Harry
X. Thaw, fugitive slayer of Stanford
White, caught by a New Hampshire
sheriff after his sensational escape
from Matteawan. spent the night IN
the hospital ward in the Jail of this

fight deportation to the United States.

White, recommended to the Thaw fam

:sioner this forenoon planned to ask for
adjournment of the proceedings.
An army Of old acquaintances as it
were-newspaper men who reported the
Thsw murder trials in New York or
followed the recurrence of sanity pro-
ceedings, clamored about Thaw's prison
cell today. One glance was enough.
1t was Harry Thaw.
Thaw-like. he had demanded special
bedding on his cot; Thaw-like. he
talked of statements he purposed to
ISSUE though for the time he declined
to be interviewed. He said briefly that
he had slept well.
The question of insanity was not en-
bodied in the commitment which brings
Thaw before the immigration author
1ties here. He is held merely as fugi-
tive from the "peHitentiary at Mattea-
wan" where he was confined on a
'crlminal charge" fer life. Thaw him

for at Matteawan he was charged with
nothing. being held as a lunatic ac-
quilted Of the White murder. Along
such lines it was expected his lawyers
would seek to bar deportation to New
York state.
The immigration officials 1t was
said, were aware of this loophole in
the commitment and were considering
the advisability of changing the
charge. However, should they deport
him simply as an undesirable alien
lunatic-it might mean his entering
the United States via some state other
than New York, and this would invoke
protracted extradition proceedings
within that state, the outcome OF which
would be doubtful.
Since his arrival here Thaw money
has poured into Sherbrooke. An alien
list has already been tentatively en-
gagged. Thaw would welcome any test
last night in his statement quoting
William Travers Jerome, former dis
trict attorney of New York, to the ef-
feet that he (Thaw) was sane man.
The hospital cell in which Thaw is
confined is roomy apartment within
the Jail building. It is carefully pro-
ected by barred windows and iron
doors and is 30 fact from the ground.
Two guards remained with him all
night.
Thaw had only few cents in his
pocket when arrested yesterday. and
was without funds when he wanted to
purchase fresh linen this morning. He
was finicky about his personal appear
ance. and after q barber had shaved
off four days growth of beard, he said
he would like to have a new necKtie.
He was given money to supply his
needs. and after brushing I'd Rsdsast N
at least four states and Of Canada
from his clothes, he said he was ready
to appear in court at any time
Rochester, N. H.. Aug. Ex-Governor
Felber said that he believed that Thaw
could be extradited on the charge of
conspiracy made by the authorities of
the Matteawan insane hospital. The
governor made 1t plain that there
would be no legal quibbling if he could
prevent it.
sherbrooke. Aug. 2o.-sentiment in
Sherbrooke is distinctly in Thaw's ia :

at the station when he arrived from
