Sherbrooke, Que, Sept. 2.-Harry K
 Thaw won more delay today in his fight against return to the MatteaWan asylum for the criminal insane, and to-
 night, is>back in his cell at the Sher- brooke jail, there to remain until Su-
 perior Judge Matthew Hutchinson
 renders his decision on the question of
 sustaining or dismissing the habeas corpus writ, arguments on which were heard today in chambers. The de- cision may come tomorrow, but more probably on Thursday.
 Attorney General Against Delay. It was a day of alternate joy and depression for the slayer of Stanford White At the opening of the hearing he faced a new and dangerous oppon- ent in Aime GeOfrion of Quebec, special emisSary from the attorney general and premier of the province St. Lomer Gouin; and from his lips Thaw heard the attorney general was insistent that there be no more delay in the case and that, the habeas corpus writ failing, other steps would be taken to insure Thaw's release and
 seizure by the immigration authorities This would mean the start of the re-
 turn trip to the asylum on the Hudson Crowd Cheers and Shout.
 From his counsel Thaw heard able dIS u1neIlIS dSdlJlSl SuSIdlilIIlS Ille WILL from them also he heard intellectual pleas for delay; from the crowd that packed the court house and streamed over the lawn he heard cheers anu shouts and words of encourag cement. He was calm but nervous throughout the ordeal but returned to his cell tired out with the excitement Counsel appearing for the state of New York argued briefly that the writ should be sustained, and ThaWs lawyers as bit terly opposed it. Shurtleff, White,
 Fraser and McKeown spoke in turn, all characterizing the proceedings by which John Boudreau, the chief of po- lice of CoaticoOk seeks to free the man he arrested two weeks ago, as smack ing of fraud and hypocrisy. Mir Me KeoWn spoke last.

 Lind's Return Reported.
 Unofficial reports reached Washing ton today that MT.

No confirmation of this could be procured at the state department Secretary of State Bry- an just before leaving for a lecture engagement tonight at York. Pa, said he knew nothing of such an intention on MT. Lind's part.
 Matters Look Encouraging"
 T had a message from MT. Lind today said the secretary, but it did not concern his movements. As to the Mexican situation it can be said that matters look encouraging"
 Bryan's Remark Significant.
 Since the departure of the president from Washington the daily character ization of the Mexican situation at the state department has been thar it was .'unchanged." The renewal of the word encouraging just as tOe pres ident Is returning to the capital, was regarded in official circles as slgnifi- cant of possible developments, MT. Bryan, however, had no exclamation for his statement except a smile, the first he has worn in discussing the tense diplomatic affair with Mexico for many days

New York Sept 2.-AIbert Green. one of the killed in the New maven wreck, was a member of the boy campers party and was 21 years old. the son of Asher Green. a Maiden Lane jeweler. He had been an instructor at the camp at Monmouth. N. H., dur ing he summer. This fall he would have been senior in the Columbia Law school.
 The heroic part many of the boy campers played in the wreck was told by II. K. Mooney. manager of the par ty tonight, The training they had feeeiVed in giving first aid to the in- 1ufed served them in good stead in the emergency,
 ''The way the boys jumped in after the first shock and helped in the res cue was wenderfuI," said MT. Mooney. AS We looked around We could see the bodies stretched cut.

corpus is known throughout the Brit ish empire, the United States; in fact, the whole world
 Although we have searched every record, we have failed to find an in stance where the writ was resorted to in a case like this. If it is decided against us and the writ sustained it will reVolutionize the whole basic prin- ciple of the habeaS corpus. Therefore more is involved in this decision than the mere concern of the present case" Hypocrisy of Boudreau.
 Here he emphasized that the use of the writ by Boudreau "in Thaw's be- half'' without Thaw's consent was, in his opinion, a fraud and subterfuge. Tt is being used," he continued, rais- ing his voice, ito hand Thaw from one
 jurisdiction to another" The hypoc- risy of Boudreaus attitude is apparent. There is no doubt of the attorney generals power, but if the attorney general himself could not/ get writ out of habeas in this case, I cannot see the justification of his intervening ar this time. If he could have been a petitioner it would have been the first action of it's kind in history
 Threatened to Carry Case to Throne.
 'As an alien under the British flag Thaw has his rights and is entitled to his full measure of time to prepare for
 
 to ask for a speedy trial, but the only
 just procedure is to let the matter come up before the grand jury of the kings bench in October We shall carry
 the case to the foot of the throne if necessary"
 M Geoffrion left Sherbrooke this afternoon for Quebec and did not an neunce whether he would return for the decision.
 The Next Possible Move.
 q do not know" he said in chambers, and again this afternoon, whether Thaw viii be deported CT not. I do not care. But eur provincial jailS can not be useG as a boarding house or as place to escape the immigration laws
 The belief prevailed in Sherbreene tonight that if the writ now before the court is thrown out, the attorney gen. eraI will take immediate steps to have
 the commitment quashed, Thaw will
 then be free, that is for the brief in- stant before he is taken in tow py the
