Further on other officers were Waiting, while notice had been sent to a big summer hotel in the Noteh | that Thaw Was heading in that direction. During his few minutes’ sojourn Bt the Appleton house, Thaw asked for the name of a lawyer in Colebrook. While he readily admitted his identity, he urged Mrs. Appleton not to say anything regard! his visit and he did not Introduce his companions. When he found that he could not telephone to Montreal, he rushod out of the house, jumped into the automobile and dashed off down the road. ‘The Beaver Brook road is a straight cut from West Stewartstown to Disville, and, at best, is @ rather rough highway. It was while Thaw's Gutomobile was dashing toward Maine that Sheriff Drew suddenly appeared and held up his hand. Diaville Notch was about five miles, and tho Maine border twenty-five files ahead, when the Sheriff took Thaw in charge and headed back to Colebrook. ‘Thaw travelled fully seventy-five miles over the hilin of lower Canada, Vermoat and New Hampshire, and was considerably played out. Comment- fag on his removal from Coaticook, he said: “They don’t seem to give a damn for the law. Five Judges were to have heard argumefits on my writ of habeas corpus in Montreal on Monday. This move is beyond me. It seems that there fs no law in Canada.” Mr. Jacobs, who was with Deputy Sheriff Drew when Thaw was ar- Tested, gave the following account of the occurrence: “I was looking out for the interests of New York State and when we heard that Thaw was in New Hampshire, the Sheriff and I took an auto and left here at 10.45. We figured just about how ho would come along by Stewartstown. “We were about seven miles out of Stewartstown, when we stopped at @ echoo! house to ask if anyone had seen anything of Thaw’s car. While ‘We were standing there, Thaw’s car came down the road. We saw him @oming and signalled for him to stop.

F. Johnson, whom he engaged as his attorney. He immediately went into conference with Mr. Johnson and arranged to have his relatives and friends notified ef his arrest.” ALBANY, Sept. 10—Attorney-General Carmody this afternoon sent {Ols telegram to Sheriff Drew at Colebrook: “Understand you have Harry K.

SE Hurls Bottle at t Chief of Imamigra of Immigration Men Who, Force Him, Fighting and Shrieking, Into Auto for Rush Across U. S. Border. (Special to The Hvening World.) COATICOOK, Quebec, Sept. 10—Harry K. Thaw was kidnapped by Acting Superintendent of Immigration EB. Blake Robc:tson and four as- sistants at 8 o'clock to-day, hustied, fighting and protesting, into an auto- mobile and carried across the border into Vermont, where he was turned loose at Norton Mills, The immigration men, on their return here, said they didn’t know what Thaw was going to do. He told them he had no plans. The kidnapping of Thaw—for that ie what it amounts to—was never- theless a legal process, warrarted by the authority of Minister of Justice C, J. Doherty. The Minister of Justice ordered the immigration officials here to take Thaw into the United States and leave him there. Armed with written orders to deport Thaw, issued by Acting Minister Doherty, Mr. Roberteon came unheralded to Coaticook last night. He told no one of his plans, except the subordinates necessary to ald in executing them and two Dominion policemen. Accompanied by his subordinates and the two policemen, Robertson weat to Thaw’s quarters im the detention pen today. They found Thaw fed and dressed and about to start on whit he calle his “day's work.” Rob- ertson told Thaw that he had orders to deport him to Vermont. Thaw could not have been more surprised had he been told that he was scot free. Before Thaw could reply Robertson ordered him to get ready at once for the trip, adding that an automobile was waiting for the dash to the border. THAW, IN FURY, HURLED BOTTLE AT ROBERTSON. Thaw's surprise changed to fury in a moment. He refused to go, and, picking up @ bottle, hurled it at Robertson. The missile went wide of its mark, crashed through a window and broke on the roadway outside. Rob ertson and his men seized the prisoner and forcibly ejected him from the foom. As Thaw was unceremoniously carried down the stairs to the auto- mobile, he kicked and fought his captors, shouting that he was being kid- napped. Robertson sought to quiet him with assurances that the pro- ceeding was entirely regular and that Bis cries were futile. Two Domin- fon policemen aided in placing Thaw in the automobile. With the pris- oner safe, the entire party, policemen and all, entered the car and were whirled away to the border. A crowd of spectators gathered quickly outside the building and watched the struggle. Except for the principals, they were the only per-| sons in Coaticook who knew what was going on.

When 9 arrived that Thaw was again in the hands of the authori- ties at Colebrook, N. H., Mrs. Thaw became unconscious and a doctor was hastily summoned. When she recovered consciousness her condition was no grave that a trained nurse was employed to watch her constantly, “I am simply paralyzed,” sald J. N. Greenshields, the leader of Thaw’s jawyers. “I cannot understand it. With a writ of prohibition and habeas corpus out, it seems to me to be utterly impossible to believe. It cer- tainly {s a disgrace to the country and to our administration of law. All we can do, if Thaw has been forced across the line, is to bring Robertson, the As nt Superintendent of the Immigration Department, before the, Court of King’s Bench; but what good will that do us?” Mr. Greenshields received a telegram from Thaw’s secretary, notifying him that Thaw had been taken to Norton Mille, Vt. W. K. McKeown, another of Thaw's counsel, sald: “The deportation of Thaw, in the face of the writ of habeas corpus, certainly looks like con- tempt of the Court of Appeals.” OTTAWA, Ontario, Sept. 10.—Hon. C. J. Doherty, Minister of Justice, who is acting Minieter of the Interior, was in conference for several hours yesterday afternoon with E. L. Newcombe, Deputy Minister of Justice, and Hon. Arthur Meighen, Bolicitor-eneral, on the legal aspect of the Thaw case, It is believed that the result of that conference had a direct bearing on Thaw's unexpected deportation this morning. “{ issued the warrant for the deportation of Thaw which has been acted upon, I did it in pursuance of my duty as acting Minister of In- terior,” said Judge Doherty to-day. “I assume full responsibility for the deportation. The action was taken after careful consideration, What was done was merely to carry out the law.” Judge Doherty explained that the Canadian immigration law directed the selsure of persons who were suspected of being undesirable, their ex- amination by a board of inquiry and their deportation. “Thaw was sus- pected, seized, examined, condemned as an undesirable, and now has been sent back whence he came and by the same route,” added Judge Doherty, “What about the court orders, the writ of prohibition and the writ of habeas corpus?” he was asked. “There has been a good deal of misunderstanding on those point: replied Judge Doherty, “There was no writ of prohibition directed to the! authorities who had Thaw in custody. As for the writ of habeas corpus, it was directed to the officer who had Thaw in custody before the board of | inquiry took action. It directed him to produce Thaw on Monday. By the operation of the Immigration law Thaw passed from the possession of | the officer to whom the writ of habeas corpus had been directed. He came, by operation of the law, into possession of other officials, There was no court order restricting them and nothing to prevent them executing the warrant for deportation.” fice obtained only a rambling and semi- coherent statement from Sternemann, VICTIM Totally at a lose for definite olues elther to the identity of ¢ the fiendish mur or murderers, Headquarters and the men worki under him in co-operation with the Hudson County authorities eagerly the earmarks of a Samuel mond, has effect that the meagre mi of pow sible identification avout the body and its wrappings tally exactly with those which might be found on his misal wife, who ran away from him on Aug, 26, bound for New York. “The mark shaped like o trisagie om the left shoulder-biade of the dody might be an ‘L’ which was tat- toced om that spot on my wife's ody when she was # young girl,” road Altman's mesage. “er maiden Bame was Lillian Carpenter.
