noon.
Lawyers for Harry K. Thaw, fencing
for position in his fight to resist de-
portation to the United States after
his flight from Matteawan, won an
Advantage in Sherbrooke today by de-
laying his appearance in the superior
court on writ Of habeas corpus.
Dominion immigration officials, and
with them the district attorney and
sheriff Of Duchess county, New YolE,
had hoped that Thaw would be pro
duced at 10 a. M, discharged on the
present defective commitment and
thus allowed to fall into their hands
for deportation at point on the bor-
der as yet undecided.
Thaws lawyers hoxRee e
in the advantages Of delay declined
to serve their writ on the jailor, or
as he is locally known, 'the governor
of the prison." and Thaw remained IN
his hospital ward cell chatting with
his brother-in-law and sister, Mr., and
Mrs. George Lauder Carnegie. super.

was hailed as victory by Thaws
counsel. who have been fighting fol
time all along. Thaw, in his hilltoI
cell half mile from the court house
knew nothing Of what had transpired
Today the case had reached a stag

TO have him set free, safe in the o
lief that the immigration official
would seize him and force him acros
