'The official dodged and the tum- bler crashed through a window and was smashed to bits on the station platform below. Five minutes later Thaw was half carried, half dragged down the sta,in:.! forced into a waiting automobile, | wedged between the bulk of two Do- minion policemen and whirled toward Norton M#ls, Vt., nine miles away. He protested throughout the trip, but his guards ignored him. At 8.55 he was whisked past a gray stone slab mark- ing the houndary and like a rabbit be- ing released, was set gently down on a bit of open ground. He whimpered in bewilderment. He looked north, south, east and west, as if trying to decide which way to go. Half a dozen idlers stepped toward him timidly, but none tried to lay hands on him. “Take Me to New Hampshire.” For perhaps half a minute Thaw stood there, his straw hat pulled over | his eyes, his hair awry, his face um- shaven, his clothes rumpled, Then, as there was nothing else tc do, he climb- ed into the automobila of a newspaper correspondent and asked to be driven | away. i i “Take me to the New Hampshire | line,” he implored. “Jerome has got the attorney general of Vermont fixed. In New Hampshire I believe I would have a fighting chance against extra- | daition. Maybe we can reach a ail- | road somewhere and I can buy a through ticket to Detroit.” Talking incoherently of Detroit, his awyers, his mother, and of writs of | habeas corpus, he was driven east over a windng road a stone’s .throw from the boundary, At Averili, Vt.,five mole: on, the car stopped he Lakeside Inn, a small summer hotel overiook- ing Lake Averill. Thaw had not breakfasted. He ordcred bread and milk, and gulped it Fdown while he tried to get Montreal over the long distance telephone to inform his Ca- nadian counsel and his mother of his predicament. Box of Cigars His Only Baggage... But wires were bad and Thaw was excited, and he could make no connec- tion. He strode out on the porch, only to learn that the chauffeur of the car had deserted. This man was Thomas Trihey, a substantial business man of Coaticook, and he had volunteered to assist the newspaper men, but had not counted on aiding Harry K. Thaw. Be- sides, he had not reported his car on crossing the boundary, as required by customs regulations, and he was afraid of the consequences. Reluctantly he turned back, leaving Thaw fuming on Then came up Frank Cantine, a lean French-Canadian. Ho was driving a small four-seated car and he was ready to travel anywhere for money. “Sure, I will drive you to hell and back,” he assured the fugitive. Thaw got in, and so did two news- paper correspondents. Thaw sat on the back seat, clinging tightly to a box of cigars. is was all the baggage he carried.

Harris of Sacra- ed another part to the dismember- ed body of the young woman found in the Hudson river last week. The lat- est find was forwarded to the morgue at Hoboken and will be examined there to learn if it fits other parts of the torso. The undershirt of a woman, stained at the neck and waist with blood, was found today in the river near where the first parts of the body were picked up. This garment is con- sidered by the New Jersey officlals as the most important clue yet developed in_the case. ‘While the discovery of the leg dld not help materially in solving the mys- tery of the girl’s murder, the New Jersey authorities became convinced that the other limbs and head were also consigned to the river and would be found and thereby clear up the identity of the victim. Peter H, Sternemann, the eccentric millinery peddier, was taken to- the to recognize anything about the torse of the body that might lead to its identification as that of his daughter, Sternemann has maintained in several incoherent letters to the authorities that he believed the murdered girl was his daughter, from whom he has heard nothing for several months, Coincident with Sternemann’s visit te morgue, a statement was issued by the detective bureau in this city that Hila Bternemann was alive and working as a domestic, A detective, it was said, had taken the young wom- an te the home of her aunt, Mrs, John Ruthman, at Fresh Pond, L, I, where it was said the girl was identified. The detective burezu refused to dis- close the address of her place of em- ployment. Miss Sternemann left homs, according to the atement, because her father took from her too much of the money she earned. That part of the body found today is a thigh about fourteen inches long. The leg had been severed below the hip and a second amputation was at the knee. ¥Keansburg, where the leg was found, is about twenty miles be- Jow the poiats where other parts of the PERSONALITY PERSISTS AFTER BODILY DEATH. Sir Oliver Lodge’s Startling Assertion in Address to Scientists. Birmingham, Eng., Sept. 10.— Speaking on the subject of *Continu- ity” tonight before the British Asso- ciation for the Advancement of Sci- ence, Sir Oliver Lodge, president of the association, touched upon the question of life after death. Published fore- casts of the address intimating start- ling statements had caused the occa- sion to be anticipated with lively in- terest and gained for the speaker pro- found attention. He declared his conviction that oc- currences now regarded so occult can be examined and reduced to order by the methods of science carefully and | persistently applied, and that “already the facts so examined have convinced me that memory and affection are not limited to that association with mat- ter b ywhich alone they can manifest themselves here and now and that personality persists beyond bodily death.” Sir Oliver further reclared the *“evi- dence to my mind goes to prove that discarnate intelligence, under certain may interact with us on the material side,” and that “we may hope to attain some understanding of the nature of a larger, perhaps ethe- real, existence, and of the conditions regulating intercourse across the chasm.” Perjury Charge Against Diggs.

Aims and Purposes of A. F. of L. Mr. Gompers questioned by his ai torney, Jackson H. Ralston, gave the committes a detalled statement of the aims and purposes of the American Federation of Labor, frankly told of its efforts through a legislative com- mittee to influence congress toward the enactment of legislation favorable to the workers, and declared that In this effort opposition of the National Asso- ciation of Manufacturers always had been epcountered. “The only evidence that I and my colleagues ever have had as to the existence of the National Asgsociation of Manufacturers.” he add- ed, “was vindictive antagonism to everything we advocated, no matter how humane.” To Better Condition of Toilers. At the outset of his testimony Mr. Gompers was asked to state the aims of the American Federation of Labor. “It aims,” he said, “to relieve the working people from burdensome long hours of teil; to protect them in their work, protect their lives and health; to improve their material, moral, social and political standing; to bring about a better condition for the toilers of our country as a reward for services they render to society.” Claime Credit for Labor Legisiation. Tracing the history of legislation for the benefit of labor, Mr. Gompers claimed credit on behalf of the federa- tion for the work of legislative com- mittees in Washington and in many states of the union, asserting that all labor legislation was constantly being urged upon legislative bodies through argument by representatives of the working people. The witness said the American Man- ufacturers association had not always been an anti-union or anti-labor organization, Knights of Labor a Corpse. Representative Willis asked Mr. Gompers what relation the American Federation of Labor bore to the Knights of Labor. “The relation,” Mr. Gompers replied, “between a Jliving human organization and a corpse.
