George Lauder Carnegie, his brother-in-Iaw, wired during the night that he was hurrying here with Thaw's sister Mar garet, and cautioned Thaw's proceed tngs, if possible, pending his arrival Meantime, Charles D. White recom- mended to -Thaw's family as Sher- brooke's most astute lawyer, has talk en charge of the case and at Thaw's arraignment before a court, this fore noon, was expected to ask for an adjournment of the pEoceedings
