FOR September % This delay was op.

After hearing argument the court

Court Has Doubt on Extradition.
In an open discussion with Mr.
Jerome after announcing the suspen-
sion OF the hearing, Judge Aldrich
said that search OF the statutes had
failed to reveal to him any law un-
Ger which man in Thaw's position. a
lunatic charged with no crime, could
be extradited.
This decision means that Thaw will
have federal writ to check his i'm
mediate return to New York state in
the event Governor Felker orders his
extradition
Marshal Mute announced this after
noon that he would keep Thaw here
overnight, Thereafter his plans for
the prisoner were undecided.
Attorney Shurtleff, for Thaw, point
ing out that the extradition hearing
in the Thaw case was to be held in
the near future, asked that the habeas
corpus hearing be postponed Jerome
objected
Here he introduced an atidayit by
Lindsay Dennison, newspaper writ
~er, setting forth that Thaw's counsel
had told him that the writ had been
obtained, not to bring about the fugi-
tive's freedom now, but to safeguard
him in the future against sudden re-
moyal should extradition be granted.
George f. Morris, one of Thaw's
New Hampshire lawyers, answered
Jerome. The application. for the writ
was entirely regular, he, said, while
the warrant on which New York
sought TO get Thaw was "a mere sub
terfuge. 80 i j-g,.e .! ssoa $
