Colebrook. n. H., Sept. 1.-THE case
Of Harry K. Thaw, fugitive from Mat
teawan, free agent for three hours yes
terday and prisoner today Of Sheriff
Drew, Of Coos county. New Hampshire
assumed this afternoon the familiar
aspect of uncertainty and delay. Coun-
sci working for and against his return
to the asylum agreed not to arraign him
before police magistrate until 4 p
m. and then to adjourn the case until
tomorrow. He Is charged with con-
spring with others to bring about his
escape. and 1t Is on this charge that
William T. Jerome will seek extradition.
Failing in this Jerome Will contend
that Thaw is insane and should be
turned over to an attendant from Mat
teawan.
John Lanyon. private detective who
raced from Sherbrooke to Quebec with
Jerome, arrived here today To meet
emergencies he has been made a special
attendant from Matteawan. and is
waiting an opportunity to get his hands
on Thaw and start with him direct for
the New York line.
Followed by crowds Thaw went about
the village today accompanied by Sher-
If Drew. Legal counsel yesterday
made plans for his release on writ OF
habeas corpus but decided today to
liberate him with Jerome around was
a dangerous move and held the matter
in allegiance.

rested near here after q ifty-mile

In another part Of .ne hotel William

Mr.. Jerome. accompanied by Deputy
Attorney Gernal Kennedy. OF New

special train. He had had no supper

Charged With Conspiracy.
At first merely detained. Thaw was
later arrested on a complaint charging
him with conspiracy, and it was on
this charge that he was to be ar
raisned today before Justice James L
Carr in police court. New York was
prepared to demand that he be re-
manded pending the receipt Of re-
QUESTION warrant.
Thaw's lawyers took measures 20
swear out a writ OF habeas corpus. 1,

this, further and that. like the Cana
dian counsel who tried hard to keep
Thaw in tho Sherbrooke Jail. they con-
sidered their client safer as a prisoner
than at large. If freed again Thaw

the New York state line as a iunatic
Lanyon was due to arrive here TO-DAY.
Jerome Indignant At Canada.
Both Jerome and Kennedy were In
dienant at the action OF the Canadian
authorities.
I'VE had no inkling OF It, said Je-
rome today. ITO say the least 1t was
high-handed piece Of work. 1t was
neither fair to Thaw. a lunatic. nor
to the state Of New York. Moreover
it upsets the principles Of justice
based on the habeas corpus act, and
I DO not doubt it will result in more
or less Of scandal in Canada"
Mr.. Kennedy was more emphatic.
ut was contemplate and cowardly.
he said. "If those who put Thaw across
the line thought they were given him
an even break by setting him down
with no American officers in sight.
they failed to look at the other side OF
the case"
rhaw in Terror Of jerome.
Thaw retired at midnight and far
from objecting to the presence of Dep
uty sherifs Burley Kelsea. insisted that
other guards, too, sit near the door.
