THAW'S HOPES |
GIVEN A Blow
Secret Indictment Has Been
Returned in New York.
JEROME CHARGES, BRIBERY

Assistant Attorney General Says That
Duchess County Grand Jury VIII
Reveal Names Connected with
Thaws' Escape That Will Startle
Country.
Concord, N. H., Sept. 24.-Harry X.
Thaw and his legal staff were dis
agreeably surprised when William
Travers Jerome, deputy attorney gen. |
eral for New York state, appeared at !
the extradition hearing before Gov
ernor Felker and announced that the !
Duchess county grand jury had re-l
turned secret indictment against
Thaw charging him with conspiracy
in connection with his escape from.
Matteawan asylum.
He declared bribery had also besn
committed. "A man vastly more i'm
portant than any yet mentioned has
been drawn into the net which New |
York has spread to catch the persons !
who helped Harry X. Thaw escape !
from Matteawan asylum, according to I
sensational statement made by
Jerome during his plea before Govern
or FeIker.
In making the announcement Jer-
ONE said that he is endeavoring to Sc
cure an indictment against the man
who conceived the plan for Thaw's es-
cape, and for this reason had asked
that the indictment against Thaw be-
kept secret as long as possible.
The knowledge that an indictment
had been returned against Thaw was
regarded as something of setback
in his case for his attorneys based
their argument at the morning session
before Gocernor Felker upon the be-
lief that the Duchess county grand
jury had failed to return an indict-
ment.
Decision on Monday
After hearing the arguments Of
counsel for both sides, Governor Felix
er reserved judgment and announced
cision until next Monday at least.
In opening the argument Jerome
said that the duty of Governor Felker
to grant the petition of New York for
the extradition of Thaw was plain. He
then made his announcement concern
ing the conspiracy indictment.
During the cours eof his argument
against extradition former Governor
Stone of Pennsylvania, chief counsel
for Thaw, accused Jerome of deceit
and trickery in the conduct of the
case.
jerome Traps Stone.
81 as special district attorney for
New York have a right to make
known what do of the transactions of
the grand jury at Poughkeepsie and I
say that an indictment was found"
said Jerome j reply to Governor
Stone THE investigation of the
grand jury was held up until | could
return from New Hampshire.
Myself and member Of the
grand jury were made a special com
mittee to investigate the conspiracy
and bribery charges, with the result
that the name OF a man vastly more
important than any yet mentioned mad
been drawn in"
UphoIds Thaw's Deportation.
Montreal, Sept. 24-The court Of
appeals upheld Charles Doherty, min
lister of justice, in having seized Har-
ry K. Thaw at Coaticook and deported
him. Mr.. Doherty, the court held,
was entitled to ignore the writ OF
habeas corpus obtained by Thaw's
counsel to prevent Thaw's deporta-
ton
In its decision the court announced
that the writ had been irregularly
served. He granted the application OF
the government authorities to have it
quashed.

Harbor Commissioners Points
Out Advantages of Unity IN
Planning important
Public Work

important public work. vital to the
progress of the entire territory, will
be aided materially by amalgamation
Of the local commercial bodies, and
the organization of the proposed
Greater Chamber Of Commerce, is the
belief of James Wakefield, member Of
the merchants association and harbof
commissioned.
Il am very heartily in favor Of the
plan CT organization as outlined. said
Mr.. Wakefield this morning ITO my
mind it is absolutely essential that the
commercial bodies join hands.
AT the present time there Is pull
ing and hauling needlessly, and the
force of unity is lost There is SO
much for Honolulu to do in which
the commercial organizations play q
leading part, that they should be ab-
solutely a unit and they cannot be
with the present different bodies each
working for itself,
AS q member of the hafbor COM
mission, can realize what benefit
to our work It would be to have a
Slnele large body TO- which. we could
present our plans as they affect the
business interest The hdrbor has IN
dertaken q tremendous amount OF
work to set Honolulu ready for large
" Increased commerce We need the
united support Of the business inter-
ests, and these interests should be or
ganized for speedy action.
1T is not only IN. harbor develop
fnent work, but IN all public work
that the Greater chamber Of Com
merce would be the most effective
body.
Il cannot too strongly indofse the
general plan Of amalgamation. and I
hope that the Merchants Associations
will agree to it.
