Thaw's Money Is in
Hands OF Butler.

New York. Aug 24-Roger Thomp-
son. in jail at Sherhrooke, Que, for his
alleged part in the escape of Harry
Thaw from Matteawan, has written a
letter to friend in this city saying
that Ex-Assemblyman Richard j. But
Ter has vanished with all the dough
said to amount to $4,000.
Il want to be sure about getting my
money" writes Thompson. Il asked
Thaw for it and he told me Butler
would pay me. Thaw refers everybody
to Butter
Revelations are promised unless
those who helped Thaw get away are
paid their shares in the big Thaw fund
provided for financing the flight by
automobile and train.
Michael O'Keefe, Eugene Duffy and
Thomas Floyd. supposed to be hiding
near New York, also threaten to talk.
It had been supposed that Butler and
Duffy were together. This is denied
by friends of Duffy. They say that
Duffy and O'Keefe are together, hid
ing in a safe place in New Jersey, and
that neither has heard from Butler
Flood is somewhere in the vicinity
|of New York and had communicated
with his family. A friend took his
taxicab out of the international
garage. Friday night. and picked UP
some fares during the rainstorm.
Published announcements that But
Ter got $4,000 for freeing Thaw have
aroused the anger Of the men who
helped him. They think they ought
to get more than $1,000 apiece-only
half Of which has been paid.
While they have confidence in But
Ter, they would feel much safer if the,
had the money that is coming to them
and every hour of delay on the par
of Butler in coming across" adds t.
| their uneasiness.

appointed on learning that they could

When the prospective passengers
reached Fosters wharf they were in-
formed that the severe storm. yester-
day morning. which had kicked up
high sea, and the fog had prevented
the steamer from leaving the Maine
port for its trip to Boston.
All were informed that their money
would be refunded and some Immediate
ly accepted and then went to India
Wharf, where they took the steamer Bay
State for Portland. The others turned
in their tickets later and received their
refund.
Since fire put the steamer City of Ban

the City of Rockland has been doing
double service. maning regular sailngs
from here, Monday, Wednesday and FRI
day nights, and an extra salilng, Satur-

advisable to try to make the return trip
from Bath Immediately, and after wait
ing several hours for more favorable
weather II was decided to abandon the
