his way to Concord TO see Governor
Feiker We have been assured 10y the
governor that he has already studied
the case, and Is prepared 10 issue the
necessary warrant for Thaw's removal
to New York without delay That
means that our man Will be back
In Matteawan in two or three days.
Thaw's counsel have a plan of CAM
paign mapped out by which II Ia
New York for SIX months. f-nd pos
s3bly a year Mr., GTossman out
lined the possibilities Of the case in
this way tonight:
I'VE are told that Governor Felker
will grant a hearing to MS before he
signs the executive warrant for Tha~ s
extraditlon. That hearing viii he held
at Concord on Monday. Tuesday or
"Wednesday. We hope, of course, that
Governor Felker, after the hearing.
will decide that Thaw should be given
his liberty In this State. should he
not decide so. however. we have been
assured by him that before he issues
the executive warrant he VIII give
us time 10 sue out a writ of habeas
corpus, and thus throw the mater
into the courts Of New Hampshire.
Plan Year Ahead.
III the first court Of this state
does not sustain our writ. we shall
appeal TO the Supreme court, and
thus keep Thaw nut Of Matteawan for
al least six months II the Supreme
court OF New Hampshire fails us,
Ne shall he able 10 force the mat
ter before the Federal courts, and
keep Thaw in our hands for a wear"

that any intention had been harbored
by them TO spirit Thaw out OF New

tate 10 accuse Jerome of having
planned to kidnap Thaw II he had
the chance.
And in that connection" said

a riot. We are perfectly prepared to
resist any such move"
