It was explained that he was then approaching the Canadian border and that the Grand Trunk line lay about fifteen miles west ‘of the Maine Central. If he wished to reach the Grand Trunk be would have to drive by team or automobile. Thaw inquired the best place to leave the train and finally decided to get off at Hereford. ’ ‘Thaw got off at Hereford, just over the Canadian line, and, not find- ing his companion, started out to look up a conveyance for himself. He finally reached a farmhouse and induced the head of the house to drive iim to Coatcook. For this he promised to give the man $9. They made their way rather slowly by team, and by the time they reached Hermenotilde-Garford, two miles south of this place, Sheriff Kelsea car had overtaken them. Kelsea told Thaw's driver who bis fare was, and then hunted up a constable, who arrested Thaw as a ve from justice ané took him to Coaticook. ‘Thaw wae arraigned before Justice of Peace Dupey this afterncon and was remanded to Sherbrooke Jail. He will appear before Judge Mulvena, Extradition Commissioner, probably to-morrow. PRISONER TELEGRAPHS TO MRS. WILLIAM 1HAW. Daring the afternoon’ Thaw sent several telegrams to relatives and friends apprising them of his whereabouts and of his going to Sherbrooke. One of the telegrams was addressed to his mother, Mrs. William Thaw, at Pittedurgh, while another was despatched to Roger O'Mara, the detective, {a Pittsburgh, who has for many years looked after Thaw's interests. One of the telegrams sent by Thaw was @ request that « large sum of meney be cent to him here.
