Sympathy for Fugitive Great, and
He Is Elated as Court Delay
Aids His Fight.
Sheriff Who Took
Thaw Regrets He
Had to Hold Him
COLEBROOK, N. H.. Aug. 22 —
Deputy Sheriff J. H. Kelsea, who
is responsible for the capture of
Harry K. Thaw, is a nervous wreck
at his home here—remorseful for
the part he played. He said:
"I wish to heaven I had never
seen Thaw. I have regretted ever
since that I met him and had to ap
prehend him.
"I was between two fires. My
sympathies were all with Thaw,
but it was impressed upon me by
officers of the county that it was
my sworn duty as a New Hamp
shire Sheriff to arrest him. Three
times the reward that was offered
would not have Induced me to give
him up but for the fact that I was
an officer of the law. I will never
cease to regret it."
Continued From Page 1.
Thaw delightedly, when shown a copy
of the paper. "I know I will get fair
play here, and that is something I
never got in New York. Never was
mortal man treated worse than I was.
They conspired against me to keep
me in an asylum which was worse
than being in priwn. I know that
the people of Canada have only kind
ly feelings for me; in fact, 1 am
tempted to become a resident of this
country if I can establish my civic
rights here.”
The fugitive was angered by the
presence of armed guards about the
jail.
“Do you think I am going to batter
my way through those thick walls?”
demanded the prisoner, of Governor
H. La Force, of the St. Francis jail.
’They are also mistaken if they think
I am going to harm myself. Do peo
ple think 1 would be fighting so hard
for my just freedom if I were think
ing of suicide?”
Alienists Say He Is Sane.
Dr. W. A. Sterling;, Dr. G. L. Hume
and Dr. J. O. Ledoux, who examined
Thaw at the request of Dr. Britton
Evans a N§w York City alienist, have
made c affidavit to the effect that
Thaw is rational and sane.
These are the various lines along
which Thaw now is fighting:
Delaying arguments on his ha
beas corpus fight that he will
have to be kept in jail and can
not fall Into the hands of the Im
migration Department.
Having his sanity established
by Canadian specialists in order
to prove to the Government he is
not an undesirable.
Appealing to the American
State Department and the Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania to assist
him as a resident of the United
States and property holder in
Pennsylvania.
Preparing to ask for an in
junction to prevent extradition or
deportation if turned over to the
officials of the Immigration De
partment by the court.
Still Clever, He Tells Mother.
Securing the court’s permission
to get his temporary freedom on
bail, os that he might leave the
country and forfeit it.
Resist the service of the Dutch
ess County, N. Y.. warrant charg
ing him with conspiracy in his
.escape from Matteawan.
Thaw to-day wrote a long letter to
his mother, in which he said he hoped
soon to meet her in Cresson, Pa.
HE TO CITT TO
T
Actor, Arrested for Staring at
Women, Says He Was Looking
for His Sweetheart.
A wonderful tale of having come
to Atlanta to get married and for
getting the address of his bride was
told at police headquarters Friday by
Edward Hogan, an actor from New
Orleans, who was arrested at Five
Points by Detective Harper late
Thursday.
Harper arrested Hogan because, he
says, the actor was staring rudely
and offensively at women. Hogan in
sists he was looking for his sweet
heart, hoping to see her in the pass
ing throng.
“I came to Atlanta to marry Miss
Marie Byrd," Hogan declared, “and
when I got here I could not remem
ber her address. I haven’t seen her
in some time, but I’d know her in a
minute. I was standing there wait
ing to see if she wouldn't pass ’’
Hogan insists also that he was lock
ed up five days ago instead of yes
terday.
The actor's arrest was the climax
of a number of sensational incidents.
After he had stared at women passing
Five Points for more than an hour,
citizens who noticed him told Detec
tive Harper, and the officer watched
him. Hogan went into a soda foun
tain and asked the soda clerk for the
loan of a nickel. The clerk said he
didn’t have a nickel. Hogan gazed
at him sadly.
“Poor fellow,” he *aid. “If you
haven’t any money, I’ll give you
some! ”
He took 90 cents from his pocket
and threw it on the counter. Then
he began pulling greenbacks from his
pockets. He had placed several dol
lars on the counter when he was
arrested.
The police have wired to Hogan’s
relatives and the police in New Or
leans, and are awaiting an answer.
Trophy Rifle Match
At Savannah Off
“My cleverness is not exhausted
yet," he told her.
When the prisoner looked through
the barred window of his cell and
saw a crowd of several hundred peo
ple in the streets about the jail, he
showed his elation. The people )f
this part of Quebec are still mak
ing a gala occasion of Thaw’s en
forced stay here. There are so many
visiting lawyers, newspaper men and
tourists that hotel accommodations
are becoming scarce.
Gives Sheriff the Laugh.
Sheriff Hombeck, of Dutchess
County, New York, who came here
with District Attorney Conger, of
the same county, to take Thaw on a
conspiracy warrant and land him back
in Matteawan, planned to leave for
home this afternoon.
“I can not do any good here with
my hands tied,” said Hornbeck. “It
is a certainty that Thaw will be de
ported."
When Hornbeck went in to say
[ good-bye to Thaw, the fugitive’s face
was wreathed in smiles.
“This is the time I beat you, Sher
iff." cried Thaw, delightedly.
Grlynn Asks Vermont
To Apprehend Thaw.
ALBANY, N. Y., Aug. 22.—Martin
H. Glynn to-day sent a telegram to
Governbr Allen M. Fletcher at Mont
pelier, Vt.. asking him to have Harry
Thaw apprehended If he is deported
into that State next week.
Glynn stated in the telegram that
he was informed the Canadian Immi
gration authorities will deport Thaw
into Vermont on or about Wednesday,
August 27, that being the State from
which he entered Canada.
Sherbrooke Would
Give Thaw Chance to Flee.
SHERBROOKE. QUEBEC, Aug. 22.
The Sherbrooke Record publishes the
following:
"If the illegality of the arrest of
Thaw at St. Hermenegilde de Bar-
ford Is established, there are some
good Britishers who believe the fair
thing to do Is to take Thaw back to
the 'little hotel at St. Hermenegilde
and there set him free.
"Reset the stage exactly as it was
when he was illegally apprehended.
Let the sleuths upon the track be set
back a certain distance and a fair
start given the fugitive.
“If Thaw is to be finally disposed
of according to law’ he should not be
handicapped in his defense by illegal
acta against him in the name of the
law, Is the contention.
"He is on Canadian soil, and what
ever may be the public opinion with
regard to the merits of his contention i
that he deserves liberty, it will be i
unanimous that he should have Brit- I
lsh fair play.”
SAVANNAH, Aug. 22.—Because
two of the military organizations
eligible to the contest have found that
they will be unable to enter a rifle
team the Derenne trophy rifle match
which was to have been held on La
bor Day will not take place.
The First Regiment was the only
eligible contestant ready for the
match, and as it would be awarded
the trophies by forfeit under the cir
cumstances. it, too, will withdraw and
allow the Guards, now holding the
trophies, to hold them for another
year.

parison were no less enthusiastic
than the ovations accorded all along
the route between the two Southern
cities.
Beginning at Austell last Monday
and continuing at Douglasville, Tal
lapoosa, Heflin, Anniston, Aahville
and finally St. Clair, receptions and
good roads celebrations were the rule
without a single exception. At An
niston. where the party stopped over
Tuesday night, interest was so keen
between rival delegations from River
side and Aahville that Mr. Ferguson
had some difficulty In selecting the
route.
Leaving Anniston Wednesday
morning the Ferguson party, includ
ing a representative of The Birming
ham News, who relieved The Sunday
American representative, set out for
Ohatchee, where a hearty welcome
was given and much enthusiasm
manifested. The leading citizens of
Ohatchee are taking much interest in
the project and declared they would
not atop until the Ashvllle-Spring-
ville routes haR been selected for the
trans-continental highway.
At Greensport the party crossed the
river on a ferry and here encountered
some rough roads for about two
miles. Before reaching Aahville how
ever, the party found the roads in
excellent condition. Reaching Ash-
vllle, the tourists were given a rous
ing reception by a large delegation
of citizens, including Probate Judge
Herring. Judge John lnser and other
Influential citizen* The Aahville
boosters showed the keenest Interest
in the project.
Finds Excsilsnt Roads.
Mr. Ferguson found such an excel
lent road from a point near Ashville
to Birmingham that It is believed he
will select this route for the official
trans-continental route, although the
Riverside and Pell City boosters are
making a vigorous fight for their
highway.
Throughout the trip Mr. Ferguson.
assisted by Mrs. Ferguson, is making
the closest sort of check on all the
roads traversed. This data will be
collected when the tour has been com
pleted and printed for the informa
tion of tourists who desire to make
the trip to San Francisco. The rec
ords will be turned over to Good
Roads Associations as a part of the
general plan to perfect a model high
way from coast to coast.
Advance reports from Montgomery,
which Mr. Ferguson will reach Sat
urday at noon, Mobile and New Or
leans. tell of elaborate preparations
for the reception of the tourists. City
officials and other prominent citizens
in each city will meet the party and
act as escorts. Governor O’Neal, of
Alabama probably will take a part in
the reception in Montgomery Satur
day.
