Leo Rr,lles. partner OF Moses II. Cross
man. started YESTERDAY for pittsburg
bearing With him Mr.. Cheeseman's plan in
detail for continuance OF the fight to
keep Harry X. Thaw from going back to
Matteawan. This plan will he laid before
ex-senator Thiander c. Knox and ex-
Gov. Stone, senior counsel In the case, for
their approval
Mr.. Cirossman would not discuss the
plan yesterday. except to say that II con-
templates primary action in New IIamp-
shire. Whether II also involves a further
fisht in New York In case they lose there
he would not say
There Is no particular hurry" Ia said.
I'VE have at least thirty DAYS and nothing
tine other side can do will hasten the time.
We will be In readiness when the mandate
Of the United States Supreme Court IL
acted upon by Judge Aldrch."
1T is no use for the other side to
devise WAYS and means. as Thaw is com
ing back to New York and ultimately will
torney General Franklin Kennedy yester-
day. The only chance he has to stay
away IL for him to escape to some foreign
country where he cannot he eNtrdditcd
But he Is pretty well watched by United
States officers and any move he may try
TO make Will be Checked.
"Or course Thaws attorneys can sue
out wrlts of habeas corpus, but that viii
mean only slight delay. II took the
United states supreme Court only ten
days to pass upon tho writ before It. and
that means the facts are undenable and
tho law clear Certainly the New liamp-
shire courts should have n. moro trouble.
/ do not believe Thaw's lawyers will ind
any announcement or support up there.
"Only ono other thing can save him
| and that would be for the Superintendent
/ Of Matteawan to mako return to the
court that Thaw Is now sane, but that
possibility Is very remote The Superin-

motion to the Supreme Court. (: Thaw Is
