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

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

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.
