governors of Vermont and New Hamp-
shire asking that Thaw be arrested and
held pending action by the New York
authorities. Attorney General Carmody
sent similar message to the governor
of Maine and the Massachusetts authori-
ties probably will be notified. The New
York city police have been asked to
send out general alarm for Thaw's ap-
prehension.
A requisition upon the Governor Of
Vermont for the return to New York
state of Thaw was signed by Acting
Gov. Glynn recently and sent on for use
in the event of Thaw being returned to
the Vermont border by the immigration
officials of Canada
Glynn Makes No Comment.
Mr.. Glynn was advised today of the
latest move in the Thaw case. but de-
clined to comment on it. Supt. John
b. Riley of the state prison department
expressed surprise when informed that
Thaw was within the boundaries of
Vermont. Il hope he will be in Mat
teawan by night" he remarked
A representative of the attorney
generals Office succeeded in locating
Attorney General Franklin Kennedy at
Manchester, VT, and he was informed
that the move of the immigration Off
Gals today was a surprise to both
Kennedy and William Z. Jerome. They
had expected that nothing more would
be done in the matter until Septem-
Der 10.
Denounce Proceedings.
Jerome and Kennedy denounce these
proceedings as the most contemplate
trick in the history of civilized gov
eminent" said Attorney General Gar
mody. arrangements had been made
RI n "a in y
was done in the Thaw case. Contrary
to these arrangements. he was appar-
emily turned loose by the immigration
authorities as soon as Jerome and
Kennedy left Canada
when we left Canada" said Mr.. Ken
nedy, I'VE We're advised by the immigra-
ton authorities that nothing would be
done in the case until September II and
that If anything developed we would be
notified through s. w. Jacobs, our
Canadian representative. Suddenly they
apparently determined to deport Thaw
without any notification whatsoever"
Family Is Dumfounded.
MONTREAL, September 1O.-The men,
bers of Thaw's family and his lawyers
here were dumfounded when they learn
ed that the fugitive had been deported.
Il am simply paralyzed,' said j. n.
Greenshields, h. c., the leader of Thaw's
board Of lawyers. Il cannot understand
it. With writ of prohibition and habeas
corpus out, it seems to me to be utterly
impossible TO believe 1t is all beyond me.
1t certainly is a disgrace to the country
and our administration of law. All We
can do, il Thaw has been forced across
the line, is to bring Robertson, the assist
ant superintendent of the immigration de-
partment, before the court of king s
bench; but what good will that do us?''
Mr.. Greenshields received a telegram
from Thaw's secretary, notifying him
that Thaw had been taken to Norton
Mills, VT.
w h McKeown, another of the Thaw
counsel. said: Deportation of Thaw in
the face of the writ of habeas corpus
certainly looks like contempt of the court
OF appeals"

deported Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw issued
