village two miles south of this place
and Thaw was brought here. Though
he had already admitted his identity
to Sheriff Kelsea. he at first denisd
that he was the man who escaped
from Matteawan
Later he freely admitted the facts
of which the police were already
convinced. He said, however, that
he would fight any effort to extradite

his client before he was arraigned at
Sherbrooke this afternoon. Thaw

grazing, and dark staring eyes. His
figure is erect. These are marked
characteristics of Harry Thaw. He
shut up like IL clam after he had seen
