AND WILL SOON ARREST THEM,

NEW YORK. Aug. e9.-qhers
seems little doubt that the conspira-
tors who effected the escape OF Thaw
from the Matteawan asylum for the
criminal insane have been fully iden-
tiHed. All indications are that the
leader OF the company was Ricllarl
J. Butler. an intimate friend of cx-
Folice Chief Devery, and former
member OF the State Legislature.
Buffers chief assistant seems to
nave been Roger Thompson. a New
York chauffeur. Thompson, some
three or four years ago. was engaged
in demonstrating and selling Packard
automomifes. He is described rs a
mild-mannercd fellow, but a dare
devil as chauffeur. a third men,

chauffer. who owns his own car, Il

Apparently Flood received Thaw
nj the asylum gate and took him to
the fot Of hill where Thompson,
with Packard. 6O-horse power tour
Ing car. was waiting. This car is
said to have belonged to Broadway
saloon keeper named Carroll.
Evidently Thompson started on the
road to Danbury, but at Ridgeneld,
Conn. missed his way and got on the
road to Norwalk. At Wilton he and
the other machine asked for dfrec-
tions. Meanwhile Butler was head
Ing for Long Island sound, and is
supposed to have separated from the
company and crossed to his place at
Oyster Bay. where he came into New
York and mailed a letter from Harry
Thaw to his mother. Butler lived in

office. from which the letter was
mailed.
