Thaw enjoyed the first outing of its kind
he has had in nearly seven years.
In the asylum at Matteawan from which
he escaped Thaw had to take his air in
courtyard, but when he asked for an
airing today his guards led him up the
hill to the west of the village and for
nearly half an hour they stumbled
through the tangled grass and weeds
Thaw's checks were glowing and he was
laughing when at dusk he ascended the
stairs to the immigration prison over the
railway station.
Reports reached Coaticook tonight from
Montreal that Thaw's lawyers might de-
sire his presence there on Thursday, four
days before he is to be brought before
the kings bench on the writ of habeas
corpus. Thaw said he knew nothing of
their plans and was waiting for the next
move of the immigration officials. He
aGded that he had received a telephone
message from his mother, Mrs. Mary
La uder Carnegie, now in Montreal They
had told him, he said, that they purposed
giving out a statement there tonight

"A fight for the people and for free

a steadfastness in counsel has been

at time when such things could happen
and to have worked In association with
men who could 40 them.
There is every reason to believe that
currency reform will be carried through
with equal energy, directness and loyalty
to the general Interest. When that is
done. this first session Of the Sixty-third

the report said:
