CAPITAL OF VERMONT
LIKELY TO GET THAW
Now Believed Dominion Will Set Him Down at
Montpelier, Capital of State He
Last Passed Through

I
were confident the government would
welcome such Il solution OF the problem.
NO ono contends that Thaw has violated
single law of the Dominion. unless
1t be that law which provides that no
alien may enter Canada without special
permit within five years after he has
been an Inmate of any asylum for tho
| insane.
Enters Near Vermont.
In the event that such an alien has
entered by railroad, the law, 1t is I'M
derstood, provides .hat he shall be
transported to the capital of the State
through which he last passed prior to
the crossing of the frontier. But Thaw
did not enter by train. He came be-
hind u wind blown horse. and when
captured he WAS nearer Vermont than
any other State of the Union. Already
the immiEration authorities have ar
ranged tc hold n hearing at Coaticook,
the nearest point TO the Vermont Dor
der. whenever Thaw may fall into their
hands.
The plan of Thaw's lawyers-and
there is reason 10 believe that they
have had assurances of its SUGGESTS
to have Thaw examined before that
board and ordered deported to Mont
pclier. Thaw would prefer Vermont to
amy other State, as a refugee. Inves
tigation may be made before he Is
tercst that Vermont would afford the
most involved eXtradition proceed
inSs.
The New York authorities, while ex-
erting pressure at Ottawa TO bring
about Thaws deportation to tho New
York border If possible or to have him
transferred 10 Montreal as n prisoner
of the immigration Department, never
theless, have anticipated the Vermont
a. al I N ar1lsp md
l.. Mack. former district attorney OF
Duchess County, to arrange for nos
siblc hearings.
Details Of Thaw's trip on the night
before ha was arrested near Coaticook
were obtained to-day by immigration
officials who went over the ground In
search of witnesses to use against
Mitchell Thompson" under arrest on a
charge OF aiding ana abetting Thaw, a
lunatic TO enter Canada.
According to these officials, Thaw,
when he left the train at Beecher's
Falls. VT. had supper with his two
companions, one OF whom was Thomp-
son. After supper they hired rig
and drove to Canaan, VT. They then
doubled back and crossed the frontier
into Canada. Tho roads were Of the
old corduroy variety and the i.orse was
exhausted
When two miles from Canaan. on
VIZ Nh''tui'tiI siNc, lnc purity WAS com
PEELED to forsake the rig and hire an
other from an old French Canadian
! farmer. Octave Ncdeau The best that
Nedeau could give them was one horse
and rickety buggy. In this way
they made slow progress over the bad
roads till St Hermenguild -Garford was
reached, when Thaw was arrested
Mrs. Thnw VIII Not Co
Mr.. and Mrs. George Lauder Carne-
gle, Thaw's brother-in-law and sister
left town to-day. Mrs Thaw. the
mother, would not come here, they
said
we shall retain the best avalla BILE
counsel for Harry" said Mr.. Carnegie
And we are we'll pleased with the
progress of the case to date or course
1t would have been very fine il Harry
could have secured his freedom with
out all this trouble. but feel certain
that his days of confinement now are
very few. / am leaving here because
my wife and l feel that we can be of
no more help at present. l have tele-
sraphed to Harrys mother that there
is no need OF her coming here"
Asked pontblank just before he
stepped on the train if the Thaw fam
lily would support the five men who
managed Thaws escape by automobile
Carnegie shrugged his shoulders and
said:
Well, of course. we expect to do the
proper thing"
