A New Charge
 Against ThaW
A WARRANT ISSUED ALLEGING
 CONSPIRACY.
EXTRADITABLE CRIME

New York Authorities Will Resort to Technicaiity in Effort to Hold Fuai- tive In She Event of Apprehension. New York Aug. 18-Sundown to- | night marked the thirty sixth hour of Harry K. Thaw's freedom, and the po- lice of the United States and Canada | had not picked up his trail They seek ! him not as the slayer of Stanford White or as an escaped lunatie but on
 a warrant issued at Poughkeepsie to- | day charging him with conspiring with ] the aged keeper, Howard Barnunn, and l the i've men who managed the asylum I delivery On such a technicaIity does New York state base it's hope of bring | ing about the fugitive's return. Both factions or the double barreied govern
 ment at Albany have promised rigid investigations and the exertion of ev- 1 cry effort to bring about his capture. Thaw Writes His Mother. l Thaws secfusion today and tonight was aboslute Out of the cloud of dust l which swirled in the wake of the black
 automobile bearing him and his lib- 1 orators from Matteawan Sunday morn | ing nothing tangible had come except
 a laconic letter from Thaw him1e as- 1 surfing his aged mother in New York | that he desired rest and would in due
 time join her at the Thaw country
 place, Elmhurst, at lCresson, Pa. In ] obedience to this plan Mrs. Thaw pur- poses to start for Cresson tomorrow | morning.
 Preparing for Fight in Courts.
 Happy girlish almost in her joy. Mrs. Thaw exhibited the hastily IcsfeV fad l capades have cost the family a million and added that whatever Harry did 1 would meet with her approval. This. ! in view of his announced intention of
 entering Pennsylvania, gave basis to I the belief that ThaW was preparing to
 take his case before the courts of that state, and, relying on the kink in Amer
 ican laws relative to the insane charg- | ed with crime, will oppose extradition and deuplicate in Pennsylvania, if
 possible, the course of John Armstrong 1 Chaloner in Virginia.
 Conspiracy is ExtraditabIe. | It was in anticipation of such move that the New York authorities caused | the warrant to be sworn out at Pough-
 keapsie. Conspiracy. according to the | district attorney of Duchess county, 1 constitutes an extaditable offense,
 Close associates of the family indi-
 eated tonight thaE tiss greundwork Of a legal fight in Pennsylvania had already | been laid. Rnitton D Evans, the alienist who testified in Tha.w's behalf at the murder trials, held a telephone 1 conference with Mrs, Thaw this aft | ernoon, and it was said that he would ] accompany her to Pennsylvania, tomor- 1 row. There are to be conferences with | counsel, and meantime it is understood l ThaW is to remain in hiding.
 l Many Rumors Afloat.
 F'iguratively as well as literally Thaw 1 left behind him only cloud of Duch-
 ess county dust. Runners of his pass
 age, descriptions of black automobiles
 tales of yacht boardings in Long Island | Sound, speckled the days news. The
 yacht Endynion of George Lauder, Jr. | a. distant relative of the ThaWs, by l marriage, found mention in the crop of
 ruInors. After having left Vineyard
 Haven, Mass. the craft was reported as
 cruising somewhere in the Sound pos | sfbly not far from South Norwa1k, l Conn, repeatedly mentioned as an ob- 1 jective point for Thaw had he cared l to take to sea. Inquiry at the New
 York Yacht club disclosed that the 1 Endyrnion %Was @ slow boat, and att | taches there secuted the idea that l Thaw would have gone aboard.
 1 Would Be Safe in the Sound
 WhiIeAthere was nothing to support 1 the theOry that Thaw hand taken to the
 sea, this seemed to those who have fol- 1 lowed the case to be the lkelfest l course. Leaving Matteawan, only two l routes which did not double back into | New York state lay open to him. One I lay north by land to Canada. thence l southwest along the border of the Great
 Lakes and across Lake Erie to north l jutting nubbin of Pennsylvania. The l other is the water route. Aboard ship 1 in the Sound, Thaw could bide his time | in a fiUa SafQfU rnQ1x6 his | way to Philadelphia via Delaware bay
 and the Delaware river
 Might Encounter Trouble in Canada.
 In view of the fact that entrance in l to Canada might mean a clash with i the immigration authorities there, the | theory was advanced that Thaw's ad- l vtsers would not have him take any | such risk.
 Despatches from Ottawa. though
 quoting no official, said that if Thaw halted within the Dominion he might l be deported as an undesirable alien, all ] though if he had through ticket to l Europe there would be no halting him. l The state authorities at Harrisburg, l Pa, indicated that if he came within 1 that state his case would be referred to 1 the attorney generals office, provided 1 New York authorities asked for his ex- tradition. The Philadelphia police said they would deiain him if New York I I0QuSSlGu IL. 0OuuCCLICQL IOOh Luc Nl0W that he could be held there as an in sane fugitive, but Massachusetts off,

 The description of Butler tallies

 man of the same name from New York
