LONG FIGHT FOR
FREEDOM LOST
by THAW
New Hampshire Governor Honors
New York Requisition-Ha-
beas Corpus Pending.

CONCORD, y. H., Nov. 8.-Gov-
ernor Samuel D. FellQer to-day or
dered the eXtradition Of Harry K.
Thaw to New York in response TO
requisition papers charging him with
the crime Of conspiracy.
The decision of the Governor was
announced at 1905 a. m. 1t was
written, and copies were handed to
the Thaw lawyers, to Bernard L. ia
cobs, representing W. T. Jerome, ami
to the newspa per men.
Governor Felker refused to COM
ment on his action beyond referring
lnquirers to the written decision. This
decision designates Sheriff Hornbeck,
OF Duchess County. to take Thaw
back to New York. Sheriff Horn
beck was named in the requisition
pa pers filed by William T. Jerome.
The decision handed down to-day
by Governor Felker does not mean
that Thaw will be returned immedi-
ately to Matteawan. from which ne
escaped on August II. He has pend
ing In the United States District
Court a petition for writ OF habeas
corpus 1t is improbable that hear
ing will be held for at least three
weeks
The extradition order was granted
in response to requisition papers from
Governor Glynn of New York filed
by Jerome.
Ignores Merits of Case.
Governor Felker in his decision
ten opinion from Attorney General
futile. The Governors decision is
strictly in accord with interstate
comfy. Governor Felker ignored all
questions Of New York's good faith
which had been attacked by the Thaw
counsel He discussed simply the
question Of the form OF the papers
and their validity.
Thaw was apparently not disturbed
BY the blow to his chances. He is
sued the following statement:
1T has been my opinion that Gov
ernor Felker would order the extra
dition. The people Of Concord thought
so. and I was naturally moved by
their belief.
ut Is also my impression that Gov
ernor Felker did what he believed 20
be right. / think he merely consid-
cred whether the documents were
technically correct and that he di3
not inquire into the motive when in
spires the persecution Of me,
Il am not disheartened. My strong
est homes lie now in the Federal
courts"
Await Jerome's Moves.
The Thaw lawyers will wait now
for Jerome to make the next move.
Jerome is to ask that the writ of
habeas corpus which brings Thaw
into the Federal courts be dismissed.
The Thaw counsel will Immediately
file new or amended habeas corpus
petition. This petition may come up
for hearing probably the latter part
OF next week in Portsmouth. n. H.,
where the Federal Court Is now sit
ting, probably before Judge Aldrich.
Both sides have agreed that there
shall be no unreasonable delay in the
hearing. Both sides have likewise
agreed that the United States Circuit
Court OF Appeals has no jurisdiction
in the case.
After agreement between counsel.
Governor Felker ordered Sheriff Hol-
man A. Drew not to seize Thaw until
November Il. This gives the lawyers
on both side until then to prepare
| their cases for the Federal Court.
