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 w’ould see an end of Ca nadian participation in Thaw’s fight against going back to Matteawan. Thaw r told reporters he had in structed his eight law yers to hire spe cial guards for him while he is out* side the jail and court house. “It has come to my cars that thp New’ York authorities will try to kid nap me if 1 am released on habeas corpus proceedings. a« I fully expect to be,’>" said Thaw “I understand they will try to seize me by force and carry me Into New York. Sjaya Kidnapjng It Planned. “Whether fhe'attempt will be made in Sherbro*oke or whether ‘ the kid napers will wait until we are on United States soil is a question, but they w’ould hardly affront the immi gration authorities by seizing me Tf 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 w’ill 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 l?e held. Thaw’ undoubtedly will 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. W r illiam A. Blakely, former District Attorney of Allegheny County, Penn sylvania, w'ho 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 w’rite interviews and specific articles for American and Canadian newspa pers. J. N. Greenshield, one of the leaders among Thaw’s counsel, returned to day from Montreal. District Attorney K. A. Conger, of Dutchess County, New York, admitted that John Mack, a former District Attorney for the same county, has been in Vymont 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 takes the Minister about 48 hours to act.

LONDON, Aug. 25.—British news papers to-day devoted much space to the sermon of Canon Nevvbolt In St. Paul's Cathedral yesterday afternoon when he bitterly attacked such dances as the turkey trot and the tango. In part ha said^ “Would Indecent dances, suggestive of evil and destructive of morals, dis grace our civilization if professed Christians were to say, ‘I will not allow m» daughter to turn Into Sa lome even If Herod were to give me half his kingdom and admit me to a high and much coveted society that has managed to persuade itself that immorality is artistic?’ This is an age which mocks at marriage and in sists upon sex topics for boys and girls.” Reuben R. Arnold at the conclusion of Solicitor Dor sey’s argument at 12 o’clock, arose and made a motion for a mistrial. Ataorney Arnold based his motion on the applause which at different times during the proceed ings has broken the order of the courtroom. Solicitor Dorsey finished his speech at twelve o’clock and Judge Roan prepared to charge the jury. A brief recess was taken. With frequent clashes over intimated reflections on the motives of the counsel for the defense in introducing certain witnesses, the trial of Leo M. Frank, accused of slaying Mary Phagan, drew to a close Monday as Solic itor Hugh M. Dorsey continued his arraignment of the prisoner. Mr. Dorsey was unsparing and vigorous as ever, although his voice showed traces of the terrific ordeal to which he put it in his sensational speech Saturday. It was problematical whether recess would be taken before Judge Roan's charge to the jury, but all the indications were that Frank’s fate would be in the hands of the “twelve good men and true" before mid-afternoon. The Solicitor made capital out of the prisoner’s persistent re fusal to face Jim Conley when he was in the Tower. He declared that it was the first time in history that a man with Anglo Saxon blood Mr. Dorsey said Anglo-Saxon) had failed to take an advan tage to nail a statement by a negro which he protested was a lie. Declares Nervousness Proof of Guilt. The claim was made again that Frank’s nervousness the morn ing of his arrest and the morning he saw Mary Phagan’s body at the morgue was an unfailing sign of his guilt. Mr. Dorsey de clared that Frank’s claim that it was due to the effect of the trag edy corresponded to that of Durant in the famous California mur der on which the State dwelt at length Saturday. Durant said ho had inhaled gas. Derision was Mr. Dorsey’s reply to Luther Rosser’s state ment that he did not seriously consider the evidence of the State’s medical experts on the time Mary Phagan died as indicated by the condition of the cabbage she ate. Mr. Dorsey said this assertion | was believed b~ the number of witnesses the defense had intyro- j duced in opposition. Discussing these witnesses he gave it as his opinion that some ! of them were introduede in the hope that they might be family physicians of some of the jurors. Mr. Arnold was on his feet with | an objection, declaring the remark an insult to the jury, but the Solicitor was upheld. There were other frequent clashes, the de fense claiming Dorsey was making remarks not warranted by the records of the case, but the Solicitor was generally upheld. Asks Why Defense Didn’t Prove Claim. Mr. Dorsey also laid particular stress on Frank’s claim that the haskoline which covered the alleged blood spots on the second floor would have been pink instead of white if the blood had been fresh. Mr. Dorsey asked why the defense had not brought in one reputable chemist to prove this assertion. Mr. Dorsey insisted that as a matter of fact the blood spots! were in the condition they were because the haskoline had been spread over them. Bitter ridicule was cast on the attempts of the defense to show that Jim Conley had committed the crime and thrown the body! through the scuttlehole on the first floor. Mr. Dorsey continued to hurl his accusations directly at Frank. The prisoner was as emotional on the surface as ever. Before court opened he chatted apparently cheerfully with his wife and mother. Mr. Dorsey received another ovation just before court opened Monday morning. A hugs crowd gathered out side the courthouse doors and cheered as the Solicitor entered. Even within the court room the applause burst out spontaneously, and Judge Roan, hear ing as it died out under the rapping of the deputies, announced, that he would clear the courtroom if it waa repeated. .
