MYSTERY IN Film RAIL Instructs Lawyers to Have Special Guard—Expects To Be Back in I United States This Week. SHERBROOKE, QUE.. Aug. 25.— “Harry K. Thaw will be back upon ■United States soil before the week is out.” This declaration was made here to-day by E. Blake Robinson, Assist ant Superintendent of Immigration in Canada, who is in charge of the im migration activities in the Thaw case. Lawyers on both sides agreed this week likely would see an end of Ca nadian participation in Thaw's fight against going back to Matteawan. Thaw told reporters he had In structed his eight lawyers to hire spe cial guards for him while he is out side the jail and court house. ‘‘It has come to my ears that the New York authorities will try to kid nap me if I am released on habeas corpus proceedings, as I fully expect to be,”, said Thaw. ‘‘I understand they will try to seize me by force and carry me into New York. Says Kidnaping Is Planned. "Whether th e attempt will be made in Sherbrooke or whether the kid napers will wait until we are on United States soil is a question, but they would hardly affront the Immi gration authorities by seizing me if I am in the hands of Dominion Govern ment representatives.” Thaw decided to fight his habeas corpus proceedings to a finish after his lawyers had put the question of dropping them up to their client. New York State representatives are making elaborate precautions to combat any attempt by Thaw’s friends to carry him off. , It is expected Thaw will be released Wednesday morning by Judge Glo- bensky in the Superior Court. He will be arrested by the immigration authorities and taken to Coaticook, the nearest post of entry to the point where Thaw entered Canada, where a court of inquiry will be held. Thaw undoubtedly will be deported into the little Vermont village of Nor ton Mills, which immediately will be come the scene of a big legal fight. Thaw Gives Interviews. William A. Blakely, former District Attorney of Allegheny County. Penn sylvania, who arrived here with for mer Governor William Stone, of Pennsylvania, to help Thaw in his fight, counseled the fugitive not to talk any more to the newspapers. In stead of complying Thaw started to write interviews and specific articles for American and Canadian newspa pers. J, N. Greenshild, one of the leaders among Thaw’s counsel, returned to day from Montreal. District Attorney \ Conger, of Dutchess County, New York, admitted that John Mack, a former District Attorney for the same county, has been in Vermont several days preparing to resist Thaw's efforts there. Thaw's appeal from the decision of the Immigration Court of Inquiry (which will be against him), must be in the hands of Acting Minister of Justice Doherty within 48 hours after a verdict is reached. According to the Dominion law the Ministry of Justice must affirm or overrule the verdict of the court of inquiry with out unreasonable delay. It usually lakes the Minister about 48 hours to Alcohol Baths for Roche Dance Guests NEWPORT, Aug. 25.—A dance giv en by Francis Roche at the Golf Club ended at 5 in the morning.

The negress had been separated from her husband, who also was a witness in the Grace trial. The crime is a com plete mystery to the police. Alex Smith, a negro, is being hunted. The murder was committed in the regular ‘‘Jack the Ripper” way and is the twenty first slaying of this kind in the last th*ee years. The exact cause of the wreck on the Georgia Railroad near Decatur early Sunday morning in which one negro was killed, two white women were seriously injured and a score or more passengers were shaken up, was gtlll a mystery Monday.

C., who were seriously i injured, are resting well and will re- ! cover. Mrs. Cresse is a daughter-in- law of Coleman E. Cresse. of 103 I Piedmont avenue. The dead negro is Max Smith, of Lithonia. Smith’s death is perplex ing to the authorities, as he was a passenger in the first coach of the train and was the only one injured in this car. The wreck occurred just as the passenger train was jmlling .out of Alta Loma, where the regular stop had been made. The cars had scarce ly gone a hundred yards when the through freight swept around the curve just beyond the station and smashed into the rear end of the Pullman car. The impact of the freight train, twenty heavily loaded cars, resulted in the demolition of the Pullman, the engine plowing itself in under the roof of the car. Mrs. Mathieson and Mrs. Cresse w r ere the only ones found with seri ous injuries. A relief train brought the injured passengers to Atlanta, where they were rushed to St. Joseph’s Hospital. Engineer Joe Guinn, of the freight train, claims, it is said, that his watch was ten minutes ahead of time and that he w r as under the Impression that h e had a clear track to Decatur.

The King now is so nervous that j he has abandoned hunting for this year. . ' k Refreshed by the week-end recess, Solicitor General Dorsey returned Monday to the State's closing argument. By the force of logic and denunciation of his Anal words to the jury the Solicitor hopes to obtain a verdict of guilty against Leo M. Frank, charged with the murder of Mary Phagan. The day and a half intermission furnished a breathing spell for the State's prosecutor. He came back to the battle with new spirit and with an absence of the fatigue that compelled him to stop his stirring argument Saturday and ask Judge Roan for a re cess. Knowing that it was the closing day of the Frank trial and that a fiery conclusion might be expected to the Solicitor's argu ment, hundreds were about the court room hoping that they might be among the fortunate to be granted admission to the small room. Frank was at the court house some time before Dorsey re sumed his address. His mother and wife came in an automobile shortly before ^ourt opened. The prisoner bore his usual unruffled and calm air. Interest probably was at its greatest height sincej the trial began. Within a few hours the Solic itor General would be finished with his masterly and unsparing address. The twelve jurors would receive the judge's charge and their final instructions. Then they would file from the room, probably for the last time, to return only to say ‘'guilty” or "not guilty,” or, possibly, to re port to the judge their inability to come to an agreement. Solicitor Dorsey was viciferously cheered as he entered the court house by a crowd waiting: for the trial to open, and in the courtroom there was applause as he went to the State’s table wdhtin the railing. Judge Roan entered the room as the applause died down while the deputies were rapping for order. He announced that if there wras any sem blance of a repetition he would clear the courtroom. The judge declared that a similar occurrence might de stroy the work of four long weeks and warned the audience to keep strict order. Mr. Dorsey began his speech in a low. hoarse voice. "Your honor and gentlemen of the jury,” he said, ”1 regret the necessity for having to carry this case over into another week and through another Sunday. If a recess had been de clared Saturday. I might have been able to have finished my speech and his honor have delivered his charge and turned the case over to you. The circumstances made the present course wiser. Begins to Riddle Frank’s Statement. 1 “When we closed proceedings Sat urday, I was giving you a brief analy sis of the statement of the defendant. I am not going into an exhaustive study of that statement. It is un- necssary to further burden you with it. But there are certain language and statements which merit some consideration. “The defendant stated, after his honor had excluded our evidence, an-; excluded it properly, that his wife visited him at the police station. He slated that she was there with his father-in-law and his two brothers- in-law. He said Rabbi David Marx was with him and that he consultei Dr Marx on the advisability of hav ing her to come up to the top floor and see him surrounded by policemen, reporters and snapshotters. lie doesn’t prove by a living soul that this statement is true. You must rely on hi* own lips for its value “If they cou'd have proved it by Dr. Marx, why didn't they it? You tell me a loving wife lives who. con scious of a husband’s innocence amid such circumstances wouldn't hare braved policemen, snapshotters to have seen him? Arnold jumped irp. “1 object." he said, “to those out rageous references to his wife. I Ue;e in gjlsam ■ California Player Looked Upon as Certain Victor in National Championship Match. NEWPORT, R.
