I 1) TTEAKST'S SUNDAY AMERICAN. ATLANTA. OA., SUNDAY. AUGUST 24. 1012. Photos of Harry Thaw at Crises in His Life and Map of His Flight From Matteawan From left to right the photographs in the upper picture show Harry K. Thaw as he appeared after the murder of Stanford White; while on trial for his life; at the time of his marriage to Evelyn Nesbit, and as he appears to day while fighting the attempts to return him to Matteawan from his refuge in Canada. The lower picture is a map showing the route taken by Thaw in his flight from Matteawan to Hereford, N. H., and from there across the Canadian border to St. Hermenigilde de Garford. Just before the train in which Thaw was speeding to liberty reached Colebrook, N. H., he was recognized by Sheriff Kelsea. Kelsea dropped off at Colebrook, secured an auto and raced to Hereford, where Thaw and his compan ions had alighted. They had hired a liveryman to drive them across country to Coaticook to strike the Grand Trunk Railway. Deep in the woods their driver deserted them, and they groped their way to a lone ly farmhouse and paid the tenants $9 to drive them to St. Hermenigilde. There Thaw was found by Sheriff Kelsea, who secured a constable at Coaticook, detained Thaw, had him arraigned in Coaticook as a fugitive from justice, and secured his commitment to jail in Sherbrooke. Mail-Wooed Bride On Journey to Coast Millionaire Ranchman Is Given Fine Recommendation by Pastors of His Neighbor. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23.—Mrs. Theresa Patterson, a handsome wid ow, aged 30, of Allentown, Pa., is nearing Los Molinas to-day, a jour ney of 3,000 miles across the conti nent, to become the bride of Charles H. Smart, a wealthy rancher, after a romantic courtship by mail. Clergymen in Los Molinas and Al lentown gave each a clean bill, the former stating that while Smart Is not a millionaire, he is worth nearly that sum and would make a home happy for any woman of his choice. The marriage is to take place im mediately upon Mrs. Patterson’s ar rival. ^Z'ZrCQNT Continued F<*om Page 1 United States Government were both represented by able counsel who re sisted Thaw's efforts to gain his lib erty on a writ of nabeas corpus. They contended that the law governing Thaw’s case is very plain and they pointed to precedents. In fact, It was reported that Act ing Superintendent of Immigration Blair in Ottawa had been counseled by the Ministry of Justice that Thaw should be deported at once. When Thaw heard this report he trembled end became pale. He was unnerved by the news anil showed it. The presence In Sherbrooke of the most spectacular and sensational prisoner in the world made a gala oc casion. Not one of the Provincial fairs which are being held throughout Eastern Canada at this time could vie with Thaw as an attraction. Great crowds came into Sherbrooke from the surrouncWng country. Families gathered aboift the Jail, hoping to get a glimpse of the well- known prisoner if he was taken to the courthouse. Some came a dis tance of 10ft miles to see Thaw. The street on which the jail is located was jammed. Glad to Please Curious, This curiosity tickled Thaw im mensely. He said he did not want to disappoint anyone who really wanted to see what he looked like. Mr. Shurtleff was resentful against Justice of the Peace Dupuis, of Coat icook. who held Thaw on the charge of being a fugitive and sent him here for further examination. “We contend that Justice of the Peace Dupuis acted illegally/* de clared ShurtlefT. “He exceeded his authority. He had no right to hold Thaw.** Colonel Fraser assured Thaw that conspiracy is not an extraditable of fense and that he need not feel any I great alarm over the fact that a war rant charging Thaw with conspiring to gain his liberty Is on its way here from Dutchess County. He did not do not seek vengeance. My wife. Kvelyn Nesbit Thaw, need not fear me Nor need anyone else fear me. ‘All 1 want is peaceful and legal liberty. 1 feel that I am perfectly safe. I have studied law ever since I was admitted to Matteawan, and I believe that I am qualified to speak in this matter. “Statements to the effect that 1 only sought itberty to kill are senseless They are so ridiculous that I won’t talk of them. I have the kindest feel ings toward the people of Canada, and will retain such feelings, no matter what action the Dominion Govern ment takes, but 1 hope that they do not deport me. Detention in un in sane asylum is a living death It is enough to make a maniac out of a perfectly sane man.” Refuses to Betray Friend*. Aeked for a detailed story of his flight, he refused. “Yes, I was the man they spotted In T^enox, Mass., said he. “But from that point on I mu»t say nothing. I won’t betray my friends." Mrs. George Lauder Carnegie, sister of Thaw’, arrived soon after his arrest and immediately sought her brother. Thaw wnt word to Roger O'Mara, the Pittsburg (Pa.) private detective, who has been his counsellor since youth, to rush here on the first train. He said that he wanted to get the fight over with.
