| for you here"
Thaw in his petition for a writ of
habeas corpus set forth first that he
preliminary examination whatever
| and without any opportunity having
been given him to make protest. He
alleged further that he is not charged
with "any offense against the crimi-
| nal laws of Canada or any other
| country and because the offense
| charged against him is not offense
under Canadian law" he therefore
cannot be tried
A Fugitive from Justice.
The alleged offense with which
Thaw is charged is briefly that he is
Fugitive from Matteawan peniten-
tiary, where he was serving a life
sentence for criminal charge of
| which he was convicted"
1t is upon the wording to this COM
plaint that Thaw's attorneys hope to
carry them successfully through to-
morrOw's skirmish without endan-
gering their principal defense.
Thaw also complains in his petition
that he never was confined at Mat
teawan on a criminal charge and
that it is untrue that he ever was
convicted Of any crime or that he
was confined for life.
Agents Of the Dominion immigra-
tiOn department seriously have con-
sidcred the probability that Thaw
will be released. They do not plan
to give him more than moments
freedom. To sustain their case they
have half dozen clauses in the i'm
migration act which they say are APP
plicable.
Among these is one which places
in the "prohibted class" any "in-
sane person or persons who have
been insane within five years" An
other clause provides for the dcporta-
ton Of any persons who enters Can
ada "by force or misrepresentation
or stealth"
Where Did He Enter?
Caverdish, Vermont, Aug. 21.-lt
appears to-day that Harry Thaw en-
tered Canada from Vermont and not
from New Hampshire, as supposed.
The village of Boecher Falls, where
he left the train, is just on the Ver-
mont side between the States. This
is thought to be the basis for the re-
port that Thaw would probably be
turned over to Vermont authorities.
Habeas Corpus Proceedings.
Sherbrooke, Que, Aug. 21.-
Harry Thaw will not be produced in
ecort to-day on the wrir Of hn6cas
! coruDs obtained yesterday. Counsel
decided, after an ali-night confcr-
| ence, that the writ is returnable at
any time, and they are marking
time, mainly due to the arrival of
Thaw's brother-in-law, Geo. l.. Car
negie, and his wife, who are anxious
that no steps be taken until the de-
Tense is strengthened. immigration
authorities anticipated that Thaw
would be arraigned to-day, released
on the present commitment and
quickly deported as an "undesira-
BILE "
No Reconciliation Wanted.
New York, Aug. 22.-Evelyn Nes-
bit Thaw doesn't want reconciliation
with her husband and doesn't believe
reports from Sherbrooke that he
wants reconciliation with her.
The last reports Of Harry are
simply frightful," she said to-day.
They are the worst yet. What shall
I do If that man gets back to New
York? He wants to get free in or
der that he may take his vengeance
and kill me-
Postponed for u Week.
Sherbrooke, Que, Aug. ga
Harry K. Thaw, Matteawan fugitive,
will be arraigned in the Superior
Court here on a writ Of habeas cor
pus at 10 o'clock on Wednesday
morning next. His counsel agreed
to this this afternoon.
New York State representatives
and Dominion immigration officers
protested at the delay, but Judge
Globensky announced that as a Cir
cult Judge he would not return here
from Montreal until next week.
The seven-day delay in proceed
ings was hailed as victory by
Thaw's counsel, who have been fight
ing for time. Thaw, in his cell half
a mile from the court, knew nothing
of what had transpired.
