When Jerome left here, he ex-

Pittsburgh detective, any time to lead

O'Mara, for the better part Of his life.
has been retained by the Thaw family
to help Harry In his troubles.
Jerome's greatest value Is expected
to be when the matter of:,Thaw's ex-
tradition comes up in Vermont, should
he be deported there by the Canadian
authorities. Thaw spent q fairly rest
ful night. ThereWas a report shortly
before daylight; that there had been a
jail delivery. but this rumor was un-
founded.
Harry K. Thaw. reconciled with
his Canadian lawyers to the procedure
to lbs followed soR Wednesday next

on = writ@of nab "a CORPUS. spent &
restful Sunday in the Sherbrooke jai
and. announced that no matter Il
William .Travers Jerome did take
charge of New York states case, hi
(Thaw) was not fearful of the out

d faced the death chair twice,
said Thaw. why should worry
about going back to Matteawan."
Having found it useless to argue
about truce in the breach that fol
time threatened by agreeing to le,
Thaw manage the publicity end Of
his case"
May Make Statements.
To Thaw, this end has become pre-.
dominant. He has been told that
ne is- likely to be deported to Yer
mont after the immigration authori-
ties take him into custody. and last
night he made a request for a list
of the leading newspapers Of that
state.
II may have some very important
statements to give them" he said:
Thaw participated-were held by the
Thaw lawyers. The chief counsel,
Mr.. Greenshields, was absent. But
Chas. D: White, W. G. McKeown. Col.
a. Stone of Pennsylvania and w. A.
Blakely Of Pittsburg. district attorney
OF Allegheny county, spent a good
part of the day in going over the
ground
Mr.. Blakely was emphatic. in say
Ing he had not come here in the
capacity of lawyer opposing New
York states interests. but as q per-
sonal friend of the Thaw family. "I
have known Harry Thaw for years."
he said. land my coming should be
considered as personal visit. spent
a few minutes with him in his cell
and found him in good spirits. I
shall return to Pittsburg Immediately.
Possibly I shall return"
Make No Predictions.
None Of the Thaw lawyers cared
to make any predictions as to the
unwinding of the legal phases Of the
case. but 1t was understood that they
would come into court with their
habeas corpus writ granted last week.
on Wednesday as agreed, and begin
their real battle when the immigra-
ton authorities take up the question
OF deporting Thaw as an undesira BILE
alien. Should the hearing result in
Thaw's deportation the Canadian au-
thorities would then drop the case
and American lawyers begin an in.
volved fight against Thaw's extradi-
ton from whatever state to which
he may be sent. That this state will
undoubtedly be Vermont was still the
consensus Of opinion.
OF the conference. in which he par.
ticipated Thaw said:
Ny lawyers found me very rea-
sonable. but I am still in charge Of
my case. am letting them do the
legal work. though
I'VE thought O'Mara was to take
charge Of things" was suggested to
Thaw.
''Who said that" he demanded. 81
