Coaticook, Quebec, Sept. 8.-—Har
ry K. Thaw was temporarily forgot
ten by the Coaticook townspeople
today, and all paths lead to the court
house where William Travers Jerome
promised to appear this afternoon
for his preliminary hearing on the
charge of gambling.
James McKee, the aged justice of
the peace, who signed the warrant
for Jerome, had no part in today’s
hearing, which was supersided by
District Magistrate H. W. Mulvena.
A. C. Hanson, joint crown prose
cutor for the district, is in chargo
of *he prosecution. Attorney Nico!,
cro * n prosecution for the. district,
had charge of the defense. This
state of affairs developed out of
Nichoi’s aiding the New York forces
in getting Thaw out of the Sher
brooke jail.
William A. Aldrich, the mill hand
who swore out the warrant, said
this morning that he had no sym
pathy for Thaw but that he acted
because he thought It his duty.
Jerome arrived from Montreal at
noon. A small crowd at the station
In silence.
It is predicted that the charge
will be dismissed on a technicality,
since the warrant sreciSed-that he
played cards "in the railroad sta
tion.” when he was more than thirty
feet from the station.
