THAW WILL APPEAR
IN COURT AGAIN
On TUESDAY
BoUDREAU ASKED WRIT ON THE
GROUND THAT HE WAS LIABLE
FOR DAMAGES SHOULD THAW,s
ARREST PROVE TO BE ILLEGAL.

Sherbrooke. Quebec, Aug. 30.- Har.
ry K. Thaw, Matteawan fugitive will
be produced in court here again on
Tuesday morning next on . writ of
habeas corpus obtained today in be
half of Chieg Police Boudreau. of
Noaticook. who arrested him after
his flight from New York state.
Superior Judge Hutchinson granted
the writ on the application of Samuel
Jacobs, chief of counsel for the New
YORK stato interests. 1t vas an elev-
enth hour move taken to defeat the
Thaw lawyers, who have succeeded
n keeping him in jail safe from the
immigratioT authorities.
Those OF the Thaw lawyers who
We're i'll town, Charles d. White and
Harry FAIR, bitterly opposed the APP
plication, but Judge Hutchinson said
he would thresh the matter out in
open court Tuesday.
Thaw was 'gnorant of today's de-
velopments. His lawyers even did
not learn of it until report of the
contemplated move sent out last night
was telegraphed back from Montreal.
His chief lawyer, r. N. Greenshields.
Immediately chartered a special train
at Montreal in the hope of checking
the proceedings. The writ had been
issued however, before the arrival.
Boudreau asked for the writ on the
ground that, as the original captor
Of Thaw he might be liable to dam
ages should Thaw's arrest prove IL
legal, w. T. Jerome, New York state
special representative, who worked
out this latest attack was jubilant.
He hopes that the writ will be sus-
tanned and that on Tuesday Thaw will
be in the hands of the department of
immigration for deportation to yer-
mont.
Boudreau's petition as made public
this afternoon recites that the petit
TONER arrested Thaw on warrant
issued by Justice of the Peace Du-
puis, of Coaticook. that Thaw was
enormously committed to Jail at
Sherbrooke without any form of pre-
liminary inquiry, and that as the pe-
titioner has great interest" in the
matter he prays that Thaw be set
at liberty in order any wrong that
your petitioner" has done said Harry
X. Thaw."
He therefore asks that Thaw be
produced in court and freed, unless
cause can be shown for his deten-
ton.

Two very smooth negroes have
been working confidence game on
innocent and unsuspecting old col

Their method has been to watch
the bank until they see some old
negro draw money when one of them
will engage him in conversation and
on the way down the street they
see another negro (the partner in the
game) find a pocket book in which
is discovered a $500 bill. The negro
who finds the money offers to divide
if they won't say anything about the
find In the meantime he goes to
get the $500 bill changed and comes
bacH with the story that a white
man will change 1t but must have
SIS or 500 for doing it. They get
the old negro to put in all his money
toward this amount and disappear
and be can't say much because he
has been party to keeping money

AS Is well known, when the Clyde
Steamship Company withdrew from
Brunswick some time ago and the
Mallory line entered, passenger SER
vice was dincontinued and since that
time Brunswick has been without any
passenger line to New York and the
large business which had feen estab-

According to the prevailing rumor
one of the two lines will put on a
passenger service the latter part ef

again be given passenger service,
