the O'Hara commission as catspaw
to gain an end of his own:
1t showed that Williams had gone
before the O'Hara commission, told
the commission he knew of a case
that would prove interesting to the
commission, and thus induced the
commission to give him the John Doe
warrants.
That, armed with these warrants,
Williams went to the Woman's private

So far as known no lives were lost.

The fire started on Church street
near the government reservation and

Then came the writ Of habeas cor

the restraining order was issued prior

was returned and it is question
whether this does not invalidate the
findings. In any event Thaw will have
his court hearing and the matter of
his deportation, thought practically
to have been settled, is now so conf
pick as to make forecasts out of the
question.
The arrival of the writ here on a
special train was greeted with wild
cheering by the crowd around the
railway station. Thaw himself thought
it was returnable at once and had
prepared to 60 to Montreal on a spe-
cial train. For an hour the crowd
waited, then the special whirled away,
but Thaw was not on it. 1t had only

that they would not attempt to move
