Bradley, of Hwainsboro, Ga.. In ^behalf of the State Thursday when J. E. Thompson, a business partner of the dead man appeared as a witness. Thompson’s testimony was in di rect contradiction of that of W. J. Taylor, a clothier, and A. J Stana- land, county surveyor of Thomas County, both of Thomasville, who swore that Flanders while in their city tr>ok great quantities of drugs and declared while stirring a glass of liquid: “This is going to kill me some day.” Thompson declared that he and his brother, R.

With Him All the Time. “My brother and I were with Fland ers looking over some timber land,” said Thompson. “We were with him almost hourly during the three days that he was there. “At no time did he complain of serious illness. Once he said he had a slight headache and took some capudine, I think. Another time he had indigestion, and secured some medicine from a drug store for that, which he took. Flanders was always In a good humor, and seemed to he further from death than any of us. If he feared anything of the kind, I am certain that he would have mentioned it to me.

Thompson, which was read to the Prison Commission by Attorney Bradley, follows in part: “That Fred Flanders and affiant and J. E. Thompson formed a co partnership for purpose of operating a lumber business near Thomasville That they went to Thomasville about April 10. arriving there Saturday morning, after leaving Covena to gether.

Sept. 4.— At 4 o’c’ock this afternoon it announced that the inquiry board had thrown out Harry K. Thaw’s contention that he was entitled to pass through Canada as a tourist. It was stated that the board would take up the question of Thaw’s sanity. Thaw’, lawyers objected to this, and demanded that they be al lowed to have alienists of their own present at the hearing. The board took the demand of the attorneys under considera tion, and the inquiry wa, held up awaiting their decision. Late in the afternoon it was reported that Attorney Marechal for the board had atated the Thaw forces would be given the privilege to appeal to Ottawa from the deoiscon of the board. This appeal will take 48 hours after the present inquiry is end ed. lx.«nCOOK, QUEBEC, Sept. 4 — Raising the point that he la merely a traveler passing through Canada. Harry K. Thaw, fugitive from Mattea- wan, who i» fighting deportation, took the stand before the Immigration De partment board of inquiry to-day and promised the Canadian government that he would go straight to Detroit. Mich., and take his chances of extra dition in the United States if turned loose here. Thaw testified he was ef» route for Pittsburg by a roundabout course when arrested. He made an excel lent impression as a witness. W. L. Phurtleff, attorney of record for Thaw, was pessimistic, saying he believed that the Dominion govern ment at Ottawa had given orders for Thaw to be railroaded, and he could not save him. At noon the inquiry adjourned until 2 o’clock Called "Travesty of Justice.” Attorneys for Thaw branded the mom ng proceedlng* before the board as a “travesty on justice.” Although Thaw had been warned by Attorney W K. McKeown that the decision of the board probably would be against him, he was more cheerful than he had been several hours ear- immigration building, declaring that representatives of the Immigration Department and William T. Jerome, former District Attorney of New York, were in league to “railroad” him back to Matteawan. Shortly before 7 o'clock Thaw re ceived a message from his mother Mrs. William Thaw, which read: “Keep a brave heart. I am coming to help you.” Thaw is only nine miles from the United States border. An official ap proved order for his deportation would probably find him on United States soil in less than twenty min utes. Thaw Fears Kidnaping Plot. The program of the immigration authorities is to rush Thaw over the line as quickly as a touring ur can carry him. He will be deltv• F\.o up to the Sheriff of the county in which he finds himself. In the meantime, F’ormer District Attorney Jerome and Captain John Layton, a private de tective who carries a warrant for Thaw's arrest on a charge of conspir acy, together with half a dozen other J private detectives and representatives of New York State, will keep pace with the automobile in which Thaw is deported. Thaw fears that Jerome’s men wfii kidnap him. Evelyn Now Hopes Thaw Will Go Free NEW YORK, Sept 4.—"If ever a mean deserved freedom, it is Harry K. Thaw. I have heartfelt sorrow for him. After all, he is my husband." Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw made this statement to-day. “It is true I have suffered a change of heart,” she went no. “Two weeks ago I was praying that Harry might be deported and turned over to the New York authorities. Now I want him free. Harry would be a free man to-day. safe in his home In Pittsburg, or on ills way to Europe, if it were r ot for nis bitterest enettij « and the advice of high-priced lawyers. No one in the world wishes Harry better luck than I do I was afraid but 1 am not now. Why should I be? Those who have followed the proceed ings since Harry got out of Mattea wan must be convinced he is Harm less. If I could help him I would no» hesitate a minute in rushing to his side.” ^ Score by Innings. GULLS 0 0 0 - . CRACKERS . . 01--. By (>. B. Keeler.
