Sherbrooke, Que, Aug 23.-The

Thaw appeared to have spent a rest
less night. His hair was disheveled

His breakfast, laid out on a table for
him, had not been touched.
He said again that he hoped soon to
be able to give an account of his es-

the incidents. He had been supplied
with the New York and Montreal pa.

his case.
The inside" motive for the immi-

Thompson case to be postponed lies
In the fact that the charge on which
he is held is punishable only with a
fine. He could pay this at once and
decamp for parts unknown. The war
rant from Duchess county, charging
him with conspiracy, is not regarded
as sufficient basis for extradition. To
patch up this loophole more time is
needed.
