Former Governor Stone, of Penusyl-
vana, Of counsel for Harry X. Thaw,
arrived here today and Immediately
went into conference with the other
'rhaw lawyers and with William
Travers j c-omc. representing New
York State. and r. r. E Mclnnes, OF
Ottawa, who is watching the proceed
ings for the Canadian government.
In the meantime. the justice court
hearing, set for 10 a. m.. was held
Both the Thaw lawyers and Jerome
are apprehensive that Justice of the
Peace Carr may discharge Thaw on
the fugitive from Justice complaint
and turn him loose here. This might
precipitate an attempt al rescue by
the lumberiacks. or a wild automo-
bile dash by Thaw. resulting in
physical contest for him.
Thaw's counsel proposed to Jerome
that New York State allow Thaw a
fair hearing before Governor Felker.
