VOL. LV.—NO. 20 \ e HABEAS CORPUS WRIT WITHDRAWN ’ Latest Move by Thaw’s Lawyers Presents a Puzzling Problem for the Opposition Atterneys JEROME ADMITS SITUATION IS COMPLICATED Hopes to Eventually Get the Prisoner, But Says There is'a Tangle to Straighten Out—Says People of Canada Mis- takenly Regard Thaw as a Martyr—New York Doesn’t Want Thaw, But It Is Her Duty to Get Him Back Sherbrooké, Que., Aug. 26.—Harry K. Thaw’s Canadian attorneys withdrew the writ of habeas corpus obtsined last week in his behalf and the fugitive from Matteawan will not be arraigned in the superior court tomorrow morn- ing as has been expected. The- with- drawal of the writ may prolong the proceedings indefinitély. May Remain in Jail Indefinitely. Rumors had been bandied about all day that the writ might be withdrawn, but it was not until this evening that the notice was filed with the clerk of the court. Af the same time a tele- gram was sent to Judge Arthur Glo- bensky at Montreal, who granted the writ, that such was counsel's desire. He was due here tomorrow to hear arguments on the application. The next move in the Thaw case is now distinctly up to those desiring his deportation. Under the present com- mitment he might remain in the Sher- brooke jail indefinitely, electing to have hearing before a district mammrate{r demanding a jury trial before ¢the king’s bench, criminal side, which does not sit until October. Briefly, Thaw’s lawyers have decided to let him pace his cell, meanwhile perfecting plans to defeat attempts to put him across the Canadian border. Jerome is Puzzled. “It is beyond me,” said William Travers Jerome. “The fine points of Canadian law involved are such that I would not feel justified in even guess- ing at the outcome. We hope to get him in the end, but this tangle must be straightened out first.” District Attorney Conger of Dutchess County, N. Y., was equally puzzled and reticent. “If Mr. Jerome can’t solve the muddle, certainly I can't,” he said. Further to complicate matters, coun- sel representing the state of New York are not sure that the commitment un- der which Thaw has chosen to remain in jail contains a charge of violating any of the dominion’s laws. It is that of being a “fugitive from the Mattea- ‘wan petitentiary, where he was con- fined on a criminal charge for life.” Regard Withdrawal as Weakness. _Hector Everett, K. C., representing New York state, said tonight that he regarded the withdrawal of the writ on Thaw's behalf as tacit admission by his lawyers that the commitment was legal and did contain a charge on which Thaw could be brought into court. “Then we might get out an- other commitment charging some other offense,” he added. “We could bring him into court on that surety. There would remain, however, Thew's right to choose trial either at once or before the king’s bench in October.” Mr. Jerome and District Attorney Conger were at dinner when Thaw's counsel made known their decision. They had been hoping, like others drawn hither by duty, that tomorrow would see a sweepino away of some of the legal cobwebs and the beginning of a fight in the open, prefacing a hearing before the Iimmigration au- thorities and Thaw’s probable deporta- ‘ion to Vermont. X Sheriff Hornbeck Disgusted. The news spread quickly _through the hotel corridoi Sheriff Hornbeck of Dutchess county, who is particularly anxious to get home, expressed _his great disgust. The handcuffs and leg- irong he brought with him have proved only a burden and he has been roam- ing about town for a week, waiting for something to turn up. Thaw’s lawyers, headed by J. N. Greenfields, K. C., of Montreal, were grimly jubilant. They had conferred all afternoon before reaching a de- cision, and they were mightily pleased at the apparent enigma they have cre- ®ted for the opposition. Thaw himself @8uld not be seen, in view of a new rule of the sheriff barring interviewers except when accompanied by some one of his counsel: but that he was consulted before any action was taken wae attested by the fact that his sig- nature, with that of his attorney of | record, W. L. Shurtleff, was signed to the application. It was a mere for- mality ~ with Thaw. though, for the greater part of his day he spent in working out more details of his pub- licity campaign. His ambitions may be nipped to some extent by the cur- tallment of interviews, but he can still zend out statements. No One Persecuting Thaw. Though declining to express an opin- fon as to what will happen in the Thaw case next, Mr. Jerome took the hitch in the proceedings philosophical- Iy and, after finishing his eveging meal, leisurely went out and toasted his shins with a group of men in front of the big open fireplace at the Magog house. Most of the afternoon he had spent tinkering with the automokile in which he made the trip up here, talk= ing as he worked. He was asked If he had anything of particular interest to say to Americans with reference to the Thaw case, now that he had learned some of the Canadian attitude toward White's slayer. “No, but 1 have something T'd like to say to the people of Canada,” he exclaimed. “They seem to regard this man as a martyr. No one is-persecut- ing him: no one wants him. Thaw Free Would Be a Menace. “New York state is trving to_get Thaw back, not because New York wants Thaw, but because of the bad effect his freedom would have on the people. If Thaw were allowed to re- main free, everybody would say: ‘Ha, the Thaw millions freed him.’ Already they are saying the Thaw millions got him out of Matteawan and generally we kear the remark: ‘A rich man can do anything, but what chance has a poor man got? “Thaw’'s being allowed to go free would have a demoralizing effect on the whole country. Thaw free would be a menace. That is why New York state wants Thaw. New York's Duty to Get Him Back. “‘Canada might ki him and be welcome were it not for the fact that It Is New York’s duty to get him back, The doors of Matteawan wouléd have been thrown open to Thaw I since had New York the ethical right to do #0. There would have been no pursuit of him. But he must be taken back.” | life of $1,000 monthly and $15,000 | Pond. 7 Thaw be deported faded into the background when the news went abroad that tomorrow’s court hearing was off. However, no matter when the case does come into court, the prediction still is that should the im- migration authorities deport Thaw, Vermont will be the state and Norton Mills the point at which he will be sent across the border. There would then remain to be fought out the question of extradition from Vermont to New York. Must Have Court’s Permission. Sherbrooke, Que., Aug. 2 The New York state forces and associated coun- sel fighting for the return of Harry K. Thaw to Matteawan announced early today that, in their opinion, the move of the defense to abandon the writ of habeas corpus could not be done without formal permission of the court, and, that in any event, Thaw would be forced into court even if the commitment on which he is held had to be quashed. VERMONT READY FOR THAW. Will Arrest Him and Hold Him When He Arrives. ¢ Springfield, Mass, Aug. cial report —A spe- to the Springfield Repub- lican from Brattleboro, Vt., sa: R “Attorney General Rufus . of Burlington, Vt, said here today: “‘Harry K. Thaw will be arrested and held for extradition by the New Brown | York stake authorities if he steps foot within the borders of Vermont.

Declares Husband’s Mother Was to Pay Her $1,000 a Month. New York, Aug. 26.—Evelyn Thaw, be- fore a referee in bankruptcy, swore to- day that Harry Thaw's mother had contracted to pay her $15,000 cash and $1,000 a month so long as she (Evelyn) should live, to enter into an action for the annulment of her marriage to Harry Thaw. This contract, Evelyn testified, was made some time in 1907 or 1908, after now in the possession of her law- John Reilly, of this city. Mr. Reilly also had checks for $15,000—one of them for $5.000, bearing Mrs. Mary Thaw's signature—none of which had been honored, the witness added. These ecks, she said, were the first pay- ment on the ntract. She appeared before the referee in proceedings instituted her creditors to determine if she had any She recently filed a voluntary on in bankruptey. “Harry provided for me till he went to Matfeawan,” she testified. ‘“After that I received remittances from the Thaw family until last summer, when they were cut off. “In_1907 or 1908—I cannot exactly tell—I "entered into a contract with Harry’s mother which made provision or me for the rest of my life. This contract provided for an income for in cash, provided I sued for an annulment of my marriage to Harry.” Mrs. Thaw added thaf she had the original contract in her possession. At the time it was executed, she contin- ued, Colonel Bartlett, representing the Thaw family, turned over to her three checks for $5,000 each. Two of these checks she 'thought were cashier’s checks on Pittsburg banks. /The third, which she said was signed by Mrs, Mary Copley Thaw, was pavable to A. Russell Peabody and Daniel O'Reilly. O'Reilly_was at that time counsel for Evelyn Thaw. Just before sailing for Eu-spe a few months ago, the show girl continued, she had given those checks to her lawyer, John Reilly. The check made pavable to Mr. Pea- body and O'Reilly, the witness explain- ed, had been endorsed by O'Reilly. Mr. Peabody died before his signature could be obtained. She was not sure, but she thought that this check had been sold to someone. Anyhow, she added. she had not got any of the money for it. Attempts to have the other two checks honored, she sald, had been futile. “What became of the money realized for this check?” asked counsel. “Ask Reilly,” she replied, The checks were not included in the schedule of assets filed with the bank- ruptcy petition. Counsel wanted to know wl “T @idn’t think it worth whiie,” Mrs. Thaw amswered. “I can’t do anything with them.” “Why not be sensible?” shouted the witness at the lawyer who was firing questions at her. “Why ask me all these silly questions when Mr. Reilly, who is here, s willing and able to an- swer all of them? You are so peev- sh!” “Did you ever bring suit for annul- ment?” persisted. the lawyer. Mrs. Thaw leaned forward and had just said “I did” when Mr. Reilly, who represents her in the bankruptcy mat- ter, entered an objection to the ques- tion on the ground that the answer might incriminate the witness. The | objection resuited in considerable ar- gument, and the hearing was adjourn- ed until next week. Chauffeur Charged With Theft. New Haven, Conn. Aug. 26.—David Johnson of Norfolk, Va, a chauffeur, was tonight arrested charged with the theft of a diamond brooch valued at 3400 from the family of his employer, who is summering here.

No Concessions iammany_ Also Made by Huerta MEXICAN MESSAGE LIKELY TO BE READ TODAY THE READING DELAYED Postponed for 24 Hours at Request of Mexican Foreign Minister—Effort to Have It Deferred Indefinitely. ‘Washington, Aug. 26.—The- dilatory attitude of the Huerta government to- day gave administration officials hope that some concessions might be made to the American proposals for peace in Mexico, but indications pointed to a final ending of the megotiations to- morrow, when President Wilson is scheduled to read his message to both houses of congress defining the policy which he thinks the United States should pursue toward its southern neighbor, Delayed at Request of ‘Mexico. A twenty-four hour postponement of the presentation of the message which was to have been read today, was I‘agreed to after @ joint request from Frederico Gamboa, Mexican_foreign minister, and John Lind, President Wilson’s personal representative in Mexico. Wanted Indefinite Postponement. It followed repeated efforts on the part of the Huerta officials to have the reading of the document deferred indefinitely. Mr, Lind left the Mex- lcan capital early today for Vera Cruz, however, with the understanding that the United States would announce its policy tomorrow unless the Huerta government receded. Lind’'s Supplementary Proposals. Mr, Lind had made certain supple- mentary suggestions to Senor Gamboa, which administration officials declare constituted no departure from the fyndamentals of the American note. The original proposale were officially announeed as follows: 1—Cessation of hostilities and a defi: nite armistice, 2—An early and free election. 3—Huerta to bind himself not to be & candidate. 4_Agreement by all parties to ablde by the results of the election. Mr, Lind informed Senor Gamboa that he would stop In Vera Cruz and could be reached there in case there should be any reply to his last sug- zestions. i Could Not Demand Huerta’s Retire- ment. Officials _disclaimed that Mr. Lind hed gone to Vera-Cruz to avoid any embarrassment in'the Mexican capital following the publication there of President Wilson's message. It was said that Mr. Lind, having practically concluded his mission, went to Vera Crliz chiefly to impress upon the Mexican administration that tomorrow noon was positively the latest moment the United States would wait before proclaiming to the world the position it has taken toward the Huerta gov- ernment. The absence of any demand in the proposals for the immediate retire- ment of Huerta, which it had general- ly been supposed was part of the American note, caused some discussion. It was suggested by officials, however, that this government could not logical- ly_cpll upon Huerta to resign a post which it never recognized him as le- gally holding. Huerta Promised Not to Be Candidate The government’s insistence that Huerts. eliminate himself from _the presidential race if an election is held is based upon his promise contained in official reports that he would not be a candidate. Officials_were not sanguine tonight that the Huerta government would withdraw its rejection of the Ameri- can note, and preparations were being made for the delivery of the special message by the president. Both houses here passed a resolution to meet in Joint session at 1 o'clock tomorrow. PREPARING FOR BATTLE. Federal Garrison at Mexicali to Fellow 3 Up Rebels. Calexico, Calif,, Aug. 26.—Governor Gomez of Lower California arrived at Mexicali today and took charge of the situation.

J. C. Allison, chief engineer of the California_Development company, re- ported today to Receiver Kolabird at Los Angeles that he had been assured there was no danger to the big irriga- tion system of the Imperial Valley. Allison and his men were not molested by either side. AMERICAN ARRESTED. Ranchman Held for Buying Livestock in Forbidden Quarter. Douglas, Ariz, Aug. 26.—Stewart Hunt, the American rancher arrested by Senora constitutionalists, at Fron- teras, was still in detention today. Hunt was arrested as an enemy to the state because he purchased live- stock from an interdicted cattleman. Members of the Mexican junta here sald that Hunt could not be liberated except on the authority of Maytorena, c?finfilutionafis( governor at Hermo- sillo, P, ASKS FURTHER DELAY. Probable Purpose of Exchange of Notes Yesterday. Mexico City, Aug. 26.—President Wilson’s personal representative, John Lind, and Frederico Gamboa, the Mexican minister of foreign affairs, are again exchanging notes on the subject of the relations between the respective governments, notwithstand- ing that Mr. Lind has already left the capital and that President Wilson’s other agent, William Bayard Hale, has planned to leave tomorrow. Senor Gamboa’s note, which he says is in reply to one he received from the American envoy, was sent to Mr. Lind at Vera Cruz tonight. The Mex- ican foreign minister is reticent as to the character of the exchanges, but unofficially it is said that they will not alter the situation. It is belfeved that they have had to do merely with the request on the part of Mexico that President Wilson delay the reading of his message to congress in order that the Mexijcan-government might pre- pare for simultaneous pubiication of a portion or all the documents in the cage. The following statement was issued at_the foreign office tonight: “In order to calm the natural anxiety - for Whitman PLACES DISTRICT ATTORNEY ON TIGER TICKET WHITMAN IS UNDECIDED Has Not Yet Made Up His Mind Whether or Not He Will Accept— Urged to Decline It by Seth Low.

It can only be called serious and for this reason it is desirable that the public should be discreet and re- served, since this is the best manner in which they can aid the government.” LIND AT VERA CRUZ.
