At firet Thompeon denied his ideatity, declaring indignantly that he wae an innocent visitor to the town and hed nothing to do with Thaw. At last, however, as he began apparently to have fears for himself, he confessed that he had driven the car in which Thaw escaped and offered in pleading excuse the fact that he was “only # poor chauffeur who had to obey orders.” Thompson had been traced from here to Ben Cadieux’s Hotel in At. Edward's, thirty-five miles away, and officials had gone in search of him Jast night. They learned that after spending the aight there he ha! returned to Sherbrooke and they followed. They were on his trail when hs ‘was recognized and arrested. Judge Malone held him in $600 for a hearing Friéay, and ae he could not provide bond he was taken to the county jail, where Thaw is lodged. The penalty for the crime of which he is ac- cused is @ fine of from $60 to $600 or three months in jail. Thaw is comfortably situated in the county jail and he probably would be content to remain there seven days, if by eo doing he can gain time mecessary to arrange his case er perhaps to bring other attorneys into it, THAW MILLIONS ENLISTED IN FIGHT. ‘The Thaw millions are already at work in Bherbrooke, Three lawyers have already been retained by Thaw, allenists have been consulted and more money is on the way.

White, King’s Counsellor, @ leading lawyer of this place, to assist W. L. Shurtleff, King’s Counsellor, and Col. Fraser of Montreal, whom Thaw already had retained. Carnegie is on ais way here with his wife, Thaw's sister Marguerite, ‘Thaw has tickets for Detroit and if his lawyers can obtain his release “long enough for him to reach a train he will be on bis way to the Michigan city. Even Thaw has little hope of this. The presence of Mr. White in the case is taken to indicate that the fight will be made against deporta- tion by the immigration officials. Thaw is almost eure to be released and hen taken in charge by the immigration officials, and Mr. White te recog- nised as a master of every phase of the law on deportation. “I am sure I will be freed,” eald Thaw while awaiting a call to court. “1 cannot be extradited or deported, for I have committed no crime and &m not an undesirable, 1 was trying to get to Detroit and have a ticket to show that. I shall go to Detroit when I am free * “1 think that Dr. Shurtleff, my attorney, will be given all the time he asks for to make my fight. I am eatisfied with my counsel, Dr. Shurtleff Col, Fraser.
