who yesterday succeeded in securing
from Justices Cross and Gervais a
writ of habeas corpus. returnable in
Montreal on September 13 and an
order preventing the immigration Of
! fcials from deporting Thaw.
The legal contingent from Montreal
handling Thaw's case, accompanied
by Gentleman" Roger Thompson, the
chauffeur who drove the rescue car
from Matteawan. returned on a
special train this morning.
While the Thaw lawyers declined TO
commit themselves, it is thought that
they will quietly appear in the Court
of Kings Bench either today or Mon
day and make their appeal for bail.
Case Starts ON Way TO Privy Council.
In legal circles here the belief is
held that the Thaw case is now safely
launched on its long trip to the privy
council. E. Blake Robertson, assist
ant superintendent of the Dominion
immigration department, who passed
through Montreal on his way home to
Ottawa. said: -Thaw will be deported;
be sure of that"
Pressed for a statement, Mr.. La
famine. of the Thaw counsel, said:
I'VE licked Jerome, and there will be
no deportation. That's enough for the
present"
COATICOOK. Quebec. Sept. g.
KN;Ilfa M Tra Jerome arraGtpd n
Coaticook yesterday on a charge of
gambling. was bitterly denounced by
Justice of the Peace James Nick 9e
in his courtroom today.
The gray bearded magistrate was
very indignant when Jerome's coun-
sci announced that the New York
lawyer could not be present today
and asked an adjournment of the
hearing of his gambling case.
"I want to say" cried Mckee, bang
ing the table with his fist, that we
intend to prosecute Mr.. Jerome to the
full extent of the law. He can't come
here and play his card games before
our children. This may be a suburb
/ town. but we intend to enforce ou;
laws. Our relations with the Ameri.
can bar are cordial, but justice must
be meted out in this case.
Wants to Forfeit Bail.
The court then suggested that
Jerome's bail be forfeited.
That would only hit two of our
citizens who went on it." said Mr.
Hanson. the prosecutor. The justice
then allowed" that he would let the
bail stand. He put over the case un-
til September H.
There was a crowd of about sixty
/ idlers in the courtroom to listen to

stamped their feet and applauded vo-
ciferously.

such the superior of joint Prosecution

! for the defense.
In Sherbrooke he aided counsel fol-
New York in their successful fight tc
get Thaw out of jail. Arriving here
] last night he characterized Jerome
arrest as an outrage.

go on with the Jerome case. The
complainant, Milford Aldrich. a mil

meantime was at Norton Mills. vi.
