The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-08-23

sherbrooke, Que, Aug. 28.-Harry K. nearly all of whom were retained by telegraph. found themselves today con- fronting three questions.
 First, who was in charge of his case?
 Second, from whom were they to re- ceive their tees?
 Third, with whom were they to con- fer pending the arraignment in court on Wednesday next on a writ of ha- beas corpus?
 When MT. and Mrs. George Lauder Carnegie arrived here Wednesday night after Thaw's arrest at Coaticook as fugitive from Matteawan, 1t was un- derstood that they would take charge of his case and that from them coun- eeI would receive instructions as to the desires of the Thaw family. Thaw at that time had been warned by re1a- lives in lengthy messages not to in- sist on personal instructions to coun- seI and it was understood that his lawyers were to ignore him in their efforts to thwart deportation to the state of New York. When MT and Mrs Carnegie left Sherbrooke, Thaw resumed his oId tactics and his eight lawyers were in a Quandary today as to who was his chief counsel.
 Ostensib1y J. N. Greenshields of Mon trea1 had precedence in Fhaw's legal forces, but he had nothing in writing 
 ing tendency to take matters into his own hands, as was the case with all his habeas corpus hearings In New or9z, his lawyers were puzzled as to the outcome Thaw money, reported to be flowing toward Sherbrooke, had not arrived in the concrete today and his lawyers were endeavorfng to ob- tain a statement from some one iden- titled with Thaw interests to show just who was responsible for any ex- penses ffgureed. 51
 We are falling over ourselves" sa1d one of the lawyers. Flight men can- not handle one mans case without a definite agreement as to who is the boss. Thaw would like to conduct matters himself but because of tele- grams from his relatives we do not feel justified in acceding to his de- Ynands. On the other hand there is no representative of the family here whom we can rely upon. As far as know, Thaw will be released on the present commitment when arratgned, next Wednesday, and then turned over to the immigration authorities. They will deport him to Vermont, we have been led to believe or to New Hampshire. While we understand that the New York state officials here have tried to grease the ways of extradition in both of the states we are willing to put up a. fight and trust to fair play
 Thaw, when asked, this morning, if his counsel did not know who was among them, grinned and replied:
 'I understand we have hired the best in the Dominion. It's Hp to them."
 what are you going to do about Roger Thornpson?" he was asked. ..Roger who?'' asked Thaw, biting his lips. "Gentleman Roger" said his interviewer, s'you know-the chauf- feur who drove you from Matteawon. .I can't talk about that" said Thaw. See my lawyers"
 (Which lawyer % Thaw paused. 'There are a lot of them,' he admit ted, sI don't know just who is in charge today
 District Attorney Conger, of Dutch ess County, N. Y., his sheriff. Fred erick Hornback, and Franklin Ken nedy, representing the New York at torney generals office, said this after noon, that they could only wait the outcome of the habeas corpus pro- ceedings on Wednesday.
 we feel Eure the immigration au= thorstfes will get him then, said the district attorney, f.and that they will promptly deport him. As to the point of deportation I can't say and don't believe anybody caE say. We hope to get Thaw back to Matteawan. If they send him to Vermont, or if they sond him to New Hampshire, we are ready
