This is the effect Of writ of habeas

is new condition. There are no prece-
dents for it. to point out just what the
effect will be-"
Thaw himself, who. despite his insanity
seems to have as clear conception OF
what Canadian law really means as any
one, was resting in his cell to-day, com
pletely satisfied there is no danger OF his
being turned loose next Tuesday.
They can't force me out of Jail" he
said. Justice Globensky ruled on my

myself has any interest In the matter OF

that Boudreau is liable for damages for

Thaw's Foes Chances.

II the writ fails in its effect, as far as
can he seen now, there are only two
courses open TO Thaw's foes to get him
out. One is that the Attorney General
OF the province at Quebec may yet be per-
suaded TO duash the charge against
Thaw. The other is that Justice Dupuis,
the committing officer. may order hear
ing and allow the charge TO be dropped.
However. there seems to be little likeli-
hood of this. When Dupuis was seen to-
day at Coaticook by Tribune reporter
his mind was still uncertain on what he
would do. His wife, however was still
outspoken In her advocacy Of Thaw and
her opposition TO any move that might
hurt his interests.

Try Telegraph 70 The Tribune. J

Sherbrooke, Que, Aug 3l.-It was prac-
tically admitted to-day by Hector Yer
ret. the Canadian lawyer who is asso-
ciated with the forces against Thaw,
that the effort to force him out OF jail
and into the hands OF the immigration
officials by -aaans OF the writ OF habeas
corpus applied for yesterday in the name
OF John Boudreau. the complainant
against him, is a blank cartridge and
what little effect it will have can be
easily defeated by Thaw's lawyers. IL
this IS so. the great coup by which
William Travers Jerome sought to solve
the situation will come to nothing.
An appeal can be taken TO the higher
courts from the action OF any lower
court" said Mr. Verret to-day IF JUS
tice Hutchinson should sustain the writ
next Tuesday, | suppose a notice OF
appeal will be hlcd at once by Thaw 5
attorneys, which would at once stay the
execution of the writ. In that case. il
will be A long time before the case
would come up Cor final settlement be-
fore the Court Of Appeals, longer than
October, anyway"
Somewhat the same opinion was eX-
pressed by Jacob Nicholl, crown prose
cutor, who is also associated with the
forces against Thaw. His attitude, how
ever. indicated that the ant-Thaw side
was In A complete state OF confusion as
TO Just what effect their great coup would
have.
1T is true" he said. that there might
be an appeal. but | think Thaw will be
liberated. anyway. and become freed
man, pending the decision on the appeal.
The question then arises as to just what
his status will be. VIII he still be clothed
by the protection OF the court under the
writ of habeas corpus. and will he enjoy
his freedom and still be free from the
liability of arrest on any new charge?
