depression for Thaw. AT the OPEN
ing OF the hearing he faced a new
ana dangerous opponent in Aims
HGeonrlon of Quebec, special emissary
from the attorney general and premier
OF the province, Sir Lomer Gouin;
and from his lips, Thaw heard that
the attorney general was insistent
that there be no more delay in the
case and that the habeas corpus writ
falling, other steps would be taken
to insure Thaw's release and seizure
BY the immigration authorities. This
would mean the start of the return
trip to the asylum on the Hudson.
Thaw 10 Nervous.
From the counsel Thaw heard able
arguments against sustaining the
writ. from them he also heard in
aehectual pleas for delay, from the
crowd that packed the courthouse
and streamed over the lawn he heard
cheers and shouts and words of en-
couragement.
He was nervous throughout the or.
deal and returned to his cell tired
out with excitement.
Counsel for the state Of New York
argued briefly that the writ should
be sustained and Thaw's lawyers al
bitterly opposed it. Shurt1eff, White,
Fraser and McKeown spoke in turn,
all characterizing the proceedings by
which John Boudreau, chief of police
Of Coaticook, seeks to release the
man he arrested two weeks ago as
smacking Of fraud and hypocrisy. Mr..
McKeown spoke last.
Thaws Lawyer Pleads.
"This case" he said, 'sby reason Of
wide publicity, has assumed a posi-
ton of international importance. The
eyes OF the world are conferred here.
The writ Of habeas corpus is known
throughout the world.
Although we have searched every
record we have failed to find an In
stance where the writ was resorted to
in case like this. If it is sustained
it will revolutionize the whole basic
principle Of habeas corpus
Here he emphasized that the use Of
the writ by Boudreau in "Thaw's be-
half without sThaw's consent, was,
in his opinion, a fraud and subter-
fuge. TT is being used,' he said.
raising his voice, Ito hand Thaw from
one jurisdiction to another The
hypocrisy Of Boudreau's action is ap-
parent. .1
AS an alien under the British nag,
Thaw has his rights and is entitled to
his full measure of time to prepare
for trial. We shall carry the case to
the foot, OF the throne il necessary
M. Geohrion left Sherbrooke for
Quebec and did not announce wheth-
er he would return.
Il do not know" he said, "wheth-
er Thaw will be deportsd. I do not
carr. But our provincial jails cannot
be used as q boarding house or as .
place to escape the Immigration laws"
The belief prevailed in Sherbrooko
that 4 the writ is thrown out the at
tornsy general Will take immediate
steps to have the commitment
