Attorney-General assures this The de-
lay of Justice Hutchinson makes no
difference in tho final outcome. 1t

Thaw's lawyers admitted that tho
situation left them no great hope. but
said that in the time before the deci-

be able to evolve n new plan.
Their client didn't profess to have
even as much hope as his lawyers
about being chased out of the Do
min!on, but declared that he would be
able to make a new fight in Vermont
Well, 1t does look rather gloomy"
said Thaw. but | am not going to
make any complaint. no matter what
the outcome. They'll never get me
back IN Matteawan. I'll fight 'em to
finish in Vermont
Police Are Alert.
While the red tape maze looks to
be nearing It's finish. the work and
worry OF the Dominion police are re-
doubling. The authorities are anxious
lest an attempt shall be made to res

a good start over his pursuers.
There Is no doubt that the public

towns In this vicinity. In thig connec-
ton 1t is noted that when Thaw first
heard he was going to Vermont he
asked the names of the newspapers
there. so that he might start cam

From his counsel Thaw heard argu-

from them also he heard Intellectual
pleas for delay: from the crowd that
packed the courthouse and streRmed
over the lawn he heard cheers and
shouts an'l words of encouragement.
He WAS nervous throughout the or
deal and returned TO his cell tired out
with the excitement.
Counsel for New York State argued
that the writ should he sustained. and
Thaw's lawyers opposed It. Shurtleff
