THAW PLANS TO SEE

Reporters.
fFrom siar Correspondent o. The Tribunsl

fFrom a star Correspondent o. The Tribunsl
Manchester, n. H., Jan. 2l.-Sherlf
Holman Drew, Harry Thaw's custodian,
received instructions to-day from
Burns L. Hodgman, clerk OF the United
States District Court, at Concord, TO
produce Thaw there before Judge
Aldrich on Saturday morning at ii
o'clock. These instructions followed a
conference Mr.. Hodgman had with Ber-
nard Jacobs, local counsel for New
York State, in the extraction proceed
ings.
Mr.. Jacobs said that il was the plan
to take Thaw out of Concord on sat
urday afternoon, going TO New YORK
by way of Boston on a time schedule
that would put him back in the Tombs
about 1890 Saturday night. But IT is
not the intention of Thaw's army OF
lawyers that he shall be kept away
from the lights of Broadway that
night. They will apply at once for
bail, and a new and expensive member
will be added TO his staff to engineer
this part of the fight. He is d New
York City criminal lawyer whose mini
mum rate for an appearance in court
is said TO be $1,000.
A rather weird entertainment was
given this afternoon at Thaw's tenn
porary home here. The master OF
ceremonies was Harry Rice, Thaw's
private secretary. The guests were
newspaper men, photographers and
moving picture men, about fifteen
I'm all. Thaw sent out word that he
wanted to see the reporters at his
home. lie said he had something to
say. When his invited guests arrived
darkness had fallen, but there was
plenty of light from the house TO
promise hospitality within.
Mr.. Rice met the visitors with smiles
and handshakes of welcome. Sheriff
Drew sat in comfort in the living room
Of the house.

He insisted. without a word of ex-
