The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1913-08-26

Sherbrooke, que. Aug. 25. AL
told Franklin Kennedy. deputy at
torney general of New York. and E. A
Conger, district attorney Of Dutchess
county, n. Y, that Thaw will be turn
ed over to Vermont authorities, the
representatives of the state of New
York have discovered what they be-
lieve will be an attempt to smuggle
Thaw into Pennsylvania and there
have his sanity determined.
Thaw was downcast and spiritless
when he awoke and said that 1t might
have been better had he gone to the
electric chair, but when he heard that
he had been the subject of many SER
mons in the churches and several of
the pastors had asserted he was the
victim of persecution he frightened
up and declared he would go free even
If he is an aged man before the day
of liberty comes.
The Thaw family is leaving nothing
1ndone TO save Thaw from Matteawan.
MS reports received here state that
agents of the Thaw family are ac-
tive at Newport Vt, and other Yer
mont towns. What they are doing has
not been made known. save that pub
lie opinion is being appealed to to save
Thaw in the event of his being sent to
that state.
Another, Lawyer Arrives.
The arrival here of w. A. Blakely,
formerly district attorney of Pitts
burgh. to aid Thaw in his fight for
freedom. following closely w. A. Stone.
once governor of Pennsylvania, has
given rise to the belief that there is
something on foot to get Thaw into
Pennsylvania. Thaw expressed regret
that he had not proceeded to Penn
sylvania instead OF coming to Canada.
All Of the Thaw family seem to feel
confident that once they get Stanford
Whites slayer in that state he will
go free.
| The immigration agents reiterated
to the representatives Of New York
that they will turn Thaw over to Yer
mont as soon as they get possession
of him, which they believe will be on
Wednesday, but the additional coun-
sci Thaw has enlisted has made
Messrs. Kennedy and Conger wary of
any move that may be made by
Thaw's attorneys. He has no less than
eleven legal representatives here, and
none has yet been able to compel him
to follow their instructions. However.
they hope that Mr.. Stone may induce
him to see the folly of talking.
Passed SIeepess Night.
Thaw' passed a sleepless night and

the New Jersey alienist, before he left

Talking Too Much.
When Thaw's array of counsel read
the statements Thaw had made in
which he declared that Stanford
