The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-08-19

son lived with his mother, an eIedrIy woman employed in department store. The housekeeper, today, said Roger left home on Friday morning, last, telling his mother that he would be gone for two or three days. He was expected home last night, she added, but he did not return.
 About two months ago, Thompson left the city temporarily, saying he was going to Boston. Thompson is but a daredevil as a chauffeur.
 A third member of the party was Thomas Flood, chauffeur, who own ed his own car, Iandaulet. He live ed at 544 10th avenue, New York. Ap- parently Flood received Thaw at the of a hill where Thompson, with 8 heavy 60 horsepower touring car, was waiting
 This car Is said to have belonged to a saloonkeeper named Carroll whose place is at the corner of 43rd street and Broadway, New York.
 Evidently Thompson started on the road to DRnbury, but at RidgeheId, Conn.,, missed his way and got on the road to Norwalk. At Wilton he and the driver of the other mcahine asked for directions to go to Stam- ford via New Canaan. Apparently Butler was heading for Long Island Sound, He is supposed to have sep arated from the company and crossed to his place at Oyster Bay whence he came into New York and mailed a letter from Harry Thaw to his moth CT.
 James Collins said, today, that But Ter rented his big Packard car, on Thursday night, telling him that he would be out of town for a few days with his family. Butler did not re- turn the car on Sunday night as he iE7 61 I called up Collins, Sunday night, from some place out of town and told Col lins not to worry, that the car was safe and would be brought back in a few days.
 Sheriff Hornbeck, of Duchess coun- ty, who left Matteawan at midnight on a secret mission with three deputies and two detectives, was supposed to be in New York, today, working quiet ly on the trial of at least one of the quintet of alleged conspirators
 Under blanket warrant the au- thorities were searching for Richard J. Butler, Michael O'Keefe, Eugene Duffy and Thomas Flood, who regis tered at a hotel in 1eacon, near the insane hospital just before the Thaw escape, appearing there in cars like those in which Fhaw was whfsked away.
 No definite trace of Thaw had been found, however, since he and his friends sped through Stormville, 1a miles east of Matteawan, a few min utes after the escape on Sunday morn ing. If Thaw is found in this coun- try the authorities have hope that he may be dragged back to New York state on extradition proceedings, al- though he is, in the eyes of the law, ma iman here and not guilty of mur- der for the killing of White.
 A warrant charging him with con- spiracy in connection with his escape is now outstanding against him and 1t is claimed this would constitute basis fer extradition proceedings. Some laws CTS, on the other hand, affirm that T1aw is safe in other states regarduess of what charges may be preferred against him here as his status in New York is that of a madman who could rot be held accountable Tor his acts.
 Mrs. Mary Copely Thaw, the fugi- t.ve's mother, who received a letter from Thaw, yesterday, intimating that he would appear soon at her summer home, E1mhurst, near Cresson, Pa, ar ranged, today, to leave at once for her summer place to be ready to welcome him if he dared to appear there to fight against extradition.
