dali Thaw regrets that william Travers

nies that he or his lawyers instigated

today,
A statement made by Thaw today
was given out by Andre Rosseau, the

good Joke, but a mistake" said Ros-

chance I lost anything as bondsman he
would make it good to me- OF course,
I did not accept the offer because l
don It believe the bail will be forfeited,
although I understand Mr.. Jerome has
gone to Montreal"

from Jail on a writ OF habeas corpus,
only to meet with reverses here when

grafton people are making an effort to
have arguments on the writ Of habeas

Thaw S release on bail, at any rate not
unless the habeas corpus proceedings
are postponed September 10.
