Lawyers Anxious Over
Proceedings Set for
Hearing Tomorrow.
APPLICATION ATTACKED
Fugitive SWearS He Is in No
Way DESTROYS of Leaving
Jail at This Time.

6nerbrooke, Que, Sept, Harry
Thaw's lawyers showed plainly today
the nervousness and anxiety with
which they look forward to tomorrow's
proceedings in the superior court Of
st. Francois county.
If Judge Hutchinson sustains the
writ OF habeas corpus obtained for
Chief Of Police Boundreau by counsel
acting for New York state, Thaw may
be Immediately turned over to the
immigration authorities for deporta-
tion. Against this contingency his law
yers laid plan for a bitter fight.
Boundreau contends Thaw is held H.
legally, not being charged with any
crime. THERE'S the added clause that
Boundreau is conscious of the illegal
fly OF holding the prisoner and is appre-
hensive lest he be liable to damages.
In preparation for fighting the case
In its present status Thaw's lawyers
have caused him to swear before no
tary public that he contemplates no
damage suits, in fact, releases Bounc-
reau for any responsibility in the mat
ter In this they hope to show Bound
reau Is a distinterested party in the
proceedings and has no right to ask
for Thaw's liberty. They have gone a
step further in having Thaw, swear
he is in no way desirous of being set
free at this time, and that the pro-
ceedings are contrary to the basic
principles of habeas corpus. Should
these arguments fail and a writ bs
granted, they hope to appeal to hIghsE,
court to stay the pfoceedfngs-
IF the writ is sustained said w. f.
McKeown Of the Thaw 4orcer, there
is always recourse to appeal, and l
am inclined to think that appeal TO
the court of reviews or to the court of
appeals would act as stay and hold
our client in jail, safe from deporta-
ton. In the face of such circum-
stances, do not see how New York
state can make any move until the
kings bench convenes in October"
Thaw spent the day in his cell writ
ing letters and debating to his steno-
graIler. AS was the case last Sun
day, there was no religious service in
the prison. Several women called and
gave the fugitive flowers. In fact, his
cell has been banked with them ever
since his confinement
w. l.. Shurtleff of Coaticook, the
first attorney who was retained for
-Thaw after his arrest, said yesterday
he had heard that BoudreaU told a
number OF friends that he had signed
the petition for the writ of habeas
corpus in the Thaw case through g
mistake.
Some one had told Boudreau, so the
story run. that he was affixing his sig,
nature to document which would in,
demnify him should Thaw decide 10
sue for false arrest He was Thaw's
captor at Coaticook, and in his peti
tion for the writ set forth that he
feared he might be liable for dam
ages.
Boudreau denied, however, that he
had signed the application without
knowing what he was doing. Friends
might criucise his act, he added, but
he had acted with his eyes open.

Mute Evidence of
Another Il ragedy
at Sea Is Found

PHILADELPHIA, April 2s.-Mute
evidence of another tragedy of the
sea was discovered by the officers and
crew Of the German steamship
Euphemis, which arrived in port last
night. Captain Jordt reported today
that on April 18th he had sighted in
latitude 1922, longitude 74.2l an
empty raft, and the following day
the body of drowned seaman.
That the raft had been improvised
by the crew that had persisted was
evidence from the fact that it bore a
stake ten feet high, which had been
used to attract the attention OF pass
ing vessels.
Other articles of ships furniture
and woodwork were scattered about
for quite a distance, and the Euphe-
mis- crew are of the opinion that the
disaster was probably that of a
schooner that had been run down by
a larger vessel, or else had lost it's
way in some of the recent storms
that have been raging across the At
lantic.
The body of the seaman was
wrapped in a shroud and given a
sailors burial.
