D t j IS I R I DOITNOW Subscribe for THIS PAPE D THAW SAYS HE'S VITKOUT FEAR iaifeawan Holds No T rurs For Pittsta .13 MAPPED OUT LEGAL FLAN Possible That Prisoner Will Be Fight Ing For Freedom in Canada Foi Long Time Vermont May Get Him. Behind an iron grilled window o: the Sherbrooke (Quebec) jail Hyry Thaw fretted and fumed and talked er ratically. He Is still confident in him self and exeluimed more than once: "I am not afraid of Matteawan. I have braved the death chair twice. There is nothing to fear." Thaw Is absolutely certain of his sanity. He remembered the word "reasonable" and used it a hundred times. It was reasonable, be thought, to map out a campaign of publicity. In doing so he spent several hours. There remains now no doubt as to the lpgal course that Thaw is going to follow. The habeas corpus writ will be argued Wednesday and ac cording to opinion he will be delivered over to the Canadian immigration authorities. An inquiry board of the immigration department will decide whether he is guilty of the charge that he is an escaped lunatic and entered Canada by stealth. Should that board decide to keep him his attorneys will appeal to the minister of the Interior. This appeal would probably result In a prolonged investigation into the claims of free dom in Canada. In the end if lie is put across the border in any state outside of New York there will follow the fight against extradition to New York. But the immigration inquiry will probably take time. There Is enly the remotest chance that Thaw will bo shipped to Vermont on short notice, it is to prevent Just this that some of the best lawyers in Canada have been retained for him. Thaw has outlined his case and has a very clear grip of it. He lias in structed his lawyers to keep him in Canada as long as possible and to ob tain freedom for him here if they can. He is convinced that public opinion is going to be a powerful factor in ills fate whether In Vermont or Canada and hns set out to create sympathy for himself and convey the impression that he has been the victim of his enemies. He was much concerned lest the people should think he Is not person ally in charge of his case. "It must be made clear," he asserted, "that I have been In charge of it all along. It must be understood as well that my lawyers are In accord with me." George Lauder Carnegie, Thaw's brother-in-law, explained in a lengthy Interview just what the family attitude toward Harry Is. The family is going to stick by him. "My brother-in-law escaped from Matteawan so that he could get back to Pittsburg, not Soutli America or iiny place outside the United States," Bald Mr. Carnegie. He declared that Harry could not get a square deal in New York. "We are all delighted," he con tinued, "that he made his escape. A break for liberty was the only re source left to him. He knew it; we knew it; everybody knew it." Someone asked: "Will Thaw stick by the five men who escaped?" "Yes," and be spoke emphatically. "What Is more the ramlly will stick by them In so far as possible. We don't consider that they did anything wrong in giving liberty to a man who has every right to It. "But you must remember that Harry, If his sanity Is proved, will have plenty of money. It won't be necessary for his family to give aid. We are ready to, however, and I don't hesitate to say it. "There is one thing I want thorough ly understood. Harry Thaw's family was not cognizant of his Intention to escape. Perhaps some of us had come to hope that he would engineer the thing. I won't say that is not true, but I shall say that no one ever talked about such a mutter with him." "Docs the Thaw family really think that Thaw is sane?" "That question is absurd, sir. Don't you know that wo would be the last people to want him to get out of Mat teawan or any other asylum It we thought him insane? Do you think Unit we would take the chance ol Harry doing nn act of violence and causing the family to go through an other seven years like tlio last havo been? Let the public think of that. "I'm going back to New York and Mrs. Carnegie Is going with mo. Harry Is to tnke entire charge of Ills own case here In Canada. Isn't that a proof of his family's belief In Ills sanity?" It leaked out that Thaw's coining to Canada was all a trick of fate ami not at all according to the planned flight. By some underground channel Thaw had been In secret communica tion with the leader of tho men who aided li i in in bis escape for months ac cording to ono of Thaw's attorneys. Shortly beforo the date set for the dash and b. ore the route to bo fol lowed had teen clearly detennlm-d Uien that it was to end at Pittsburg Thaw't, rni, el of communication was shut oif. So the day came last Sun- Harry Thaw and Map Showing Where Ha Was Caught V s y vt f c .COMjCORD J ALBANY ) v I Hi W0lt by American Press AHHOclatlon. The fugitive from Matteawan, N. Y., is making a determined fight to be re leased from the clutches of the Ca nndian nutli iritips. T!:e scene of the it ii. t b-.Ule is ct Sht.rbnoke, Que., short distance from Coatlcooke, where the fugitive was captured. day and Thaw was not even Bure then that an automobile would be ready for him. All the particulars have been told, but it has not been told yet that Thaw began to quarrel with his helpers from the start. They had selected a route which he thought was too far to the north and ho did not like that. It could not be helped at so late an hour, however, and the touring car kept on. The 111 feeling grew. It was furthered by the tact that Thaw did not have the promised cash to hand over Immediately. Finally at a point Rome place in Vermont Thaw washed his hands of the outfit, left th touring tar and took a train for Canada on a moment's inspiration. Two of the men stuck by him despite the fight. One of them is supposed to be "Edu cated" Roger Thompson. There is still doubt about the other. Dr. Joseph Km il N'oel. Sherbrooke Jail physician, made a forty-five- minute examination of Harry K. Thaw in the jail. At the conclusion he said that lie found the prisoner "perfectly sane." Dr. Noel acted at the request of the Immigration bureau. Dr. Noel, following his examination, said that he had prepared a report to be forwarded to Ottawa. "Mr. Thaw Is fully as sane as you or 1," said the physician. "I have been carefully examining him since his arrival here. I discussed ills ca.ie with li I in. lie knows more about !t than his lawyers. There was not an intricate point that we did not cover. He has a wonderful analytical mind and there was not a single second that he did not know what lie was talking about." The Thaw lawyers were jubilant when they learned of Dr. Noel's state ment. They professed to believe that It would convince the dominion an thoritics that Thaw had been badly used In New York. Dr. G. I Hume. Dr. J. O. I.edoux and Dr. Stirling, who examined Thaw tit tlm request of I)r. Uritton Kvans, a Now York alienist, have made an nllldavit to the effect that Thaw is rational and cane. W. A. Illakeley, district uttorney of l'iltsburg. In Khertirooke at the re quest of Thaw and tin Intimate friend If the family, said that if Thaw doei hot stop talking ho will "talk himself back to Matteawan." "I'm not up here as Thaw's at torney," said lilakeley. "I have known him for many years and I have known his family as well. It is purely a per Honal visit. 1 saw Thaw and found him In good spirits." Although Bliiki'ley did not come here as an attorney for Thaw he wa In conference for two hours with W. K. McKeoii, Colonel II. A. I'lnzer ami ex -Governor William Stone of 1'eiiii sylvania. After the conference all five men called on Thaw in the hospital ward and remained with him for about an hour. Governor Mtonn dpi lined to say what he thought of Thaw's case. It is known he Is here to make himself ac qiiaintcil Willi the Canadian end of the I'mlit pre paratory to extradition proceedings in Newport. Vt., tho place where Thaw will probably be sunt if dtp'irted. FAIL TO BLOW UP MAYOR GAYNOR Four Sticks of Dynamite Under Executive's Window ENOUGH TO DESTROY BUILDING How Explosive Was Placed at Spot Where Found a Mystery Police Be lieve an Italian Could Explain It. Four sticks of dynamite, enough to destroy the foundation walls of the city hall and bring down the super structure, were found bundled to gether and set with a fuse beneath one of the windows of Mayor Gaynor's ollice in New York. The discovery set going the machin ery of the fire department. Commis sioner Johnson was in the mayor's ollice at the time and he gave orders with a dispatch that landed the Bavage looking package In Owen Eagan's bombproof magazine very quickly. Nearly everybody that was in the neighborhood got excited except the mayor himself. The dynamite was discovered by J. J. Madden, an em ploy o of the depart ment of public buildings, while he was cleaning the windows ot the city hall. It lay directly in the moat on the westerly side of the building. Kxpert lCagan informed the report ers that the package contained four sticks of 40 per cent Dupont gelatine dynamite, with fuse and detonating cap attached; also a piece of chinz punk and three burned matches. The matches and punk were attached to the powder fuse. The punk was partly burned. How the dynamite could have been set where found Is a matter ot con jecture. It was too far from the rail ing to admit the suggestion that some one thrust it through with his hand then lighted the punk. To have thrown it over the railing would have been very dangerous for the person doing the throwing. The Italian cambric in which the dynamite sticks were found may be the means of apprehending the maker of the package or the person who left it there. Such packages are not un known in the Italian sections of the city and it is regarded as not unlike ly that some love lorn Italian swain, mourning the loss of a bride, decided to dynamite the building in order to get even with the marriage bureau.
