Shepbrooke, Que, Aug. 27.-Harry K. ThaW won three victories from the New York state authorities today and was locked today in the Sherbrooke jail. immune for the time being from the Dominion immigration authorities, after having received an ovation from the townspeople of Sherbrooke that would have done honor to a prince of the royal blood So riotous was the scene in the superior court when, at the morning session, Judge Arthur Globensky refused to allow counsel representing New York state to be party to the proceedings, that the court subsequently warned spectators that repetition of the cheering, chair climbing. handkerchief waving and general hysteria would mean jail sen tences for the demonstrants.
 Well Give You Justice, Harry"
 Speaking from the bench at the af- ternoon session he said that never in his experience as a member of the witness to such a diSgraceful scene It was carried out in the presence of court attendants and four armed Do- minfon police, who stood immobile while emotional women rushed toward Stanford Whites slayer crying: Three cheers for Thaw!'
 Three cheers. for the British flag! We will give you justice, Harry"
 Officials Leave Sherprooke.
 Tonight with Thaw's term of con- f1nement indeterminate and the key to the riddle unfound, there was general exodus of those who rushed hIther after the fugitives sensational escape from Matteawan eleven days ago. William Travers Jerome, former prosecutor of Thaw, and specialist on matters appertaining to his life, left tonight for Quebec, accompanied by Franklin Kennedy, deputy attorney general of New Y York
 Either tonight or tomorrow will de- part District Attorney B. A. CongerA of Duchess county, Sheriff Frederick Hornbeck of that county, Superintend- ent Kieb of Matteawan, Jock E. Mack, former district attorney of Duchess county, and with him sheriffs and dep- tuty sheriffs of Vermont and New Hampshire, who are ready to string themselves along the border line and seize Thaw in the event of his de- portation.
 Messrs. Jerome and Kennedy will confer at Quebec with the attorney general of the province in the hope that he, as provinces chief officer of the crown, may be able to open the legal lock that holds Thaw in Jail.
 Three Points Scored by Thaw.
 The three points in which Thaw's lawyers were successful in their first legal sl1irmiSh were:
 1-NeW York state was denied the right to be party to the proceedings in court.
 2-Counse1 for the state failed in their efforts to have Thaw arraigned before a magistrate and the commit ment on which he is held quashed. This would have released him to the immigration officers.
 S-Judge Globenslzy granted the plea of Thaw's counsel for .. discontinuance of the writ of habeas corpus which might have brought about his release today This remedied a strategic blun- der made by Thaw's attorneys last week, who apparently did not realize then that in seeking their clients re- lease they were playing into the op- positions hands.
 Thaw Thanks Canadians.
 From his cell tonight Thaw issued the following statement:
 May I acknowledge the fair play accorded by everyone since my arrival in Canada, and express my gratitude for the sympathy shown me by Cana dian people in my present struggle to regain my liberty and to thank espe- cially the Canadians that l have come in contact with personally. It is much better than I deserve and entirely at variance with the malice shown In New York.
 Now York Juries for Fair Play.
 Tt is only fair to make clear that the people of New York are all right; no unfarness can be found in the peo- pie of New York. A proof of this was found in the vicious opposition to giv- ing me an honest jury trial shown by the undemocratic attorney-general. He an his pals know that New York jury would stand for fair play, toe.
 The unexpected. burst of sympathy in Thaw's behalf for until today residends of SherbroolSe had appeared apathet1c. came when Judge Globensky declined to allow Samuel Jacobs of Montreal, chief counsel for New York, to submit arguments against the discontinuance ef the habeas corpus writ,

 Jacobs had risen te address the court, after Fhaws' attorneys had be- gun their arguments to have the Wrlt abandoned, At this point J: N. Green shields, Thaw's leading defender, de- manded of Jaeebsi

 The words came sharply and then from the back Of the courtroom came the cry;
 A Woman Screams.

 ThaW responded to the demonstra- ton with profound bows. but retreated as the courtroom throng swept toward him swearing court attendants and rcisce aside in it's rush. The prisoner
