move to have Thaw brought to Pitts
burgh from Gorham, n. H., where he
now is, in custody of United States
marshal, but it might be up, because he
has other attorneys. 1 am acting
under Thaw's directions and am trying
to have him released on bail. / will not
he satisfied with anything else"
Should Stone stick to this, some other
plan will have to be formulated, for
both Jerome and Shurtleff made it clear
yesterday that before they take the
matter to a justice Of the United States
Supreme Court they will seek Stones
sanction. They anticipated no opposi-
ton to this programme from Mr.. Stone,
although Mr.. Jerome said that the
agreement between him and Mr.. Shurt-
left was tentative and depended on the
outcome of the talk with former Gov
ernor Stone to-day.

order to the federal officer in charge OF
Thaw to take Thaw to Pittsburgh and
return him to New Hampshire. In ad-
dltion to Mr.. Stone, the Supreme Court
