THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT> NEWS. iS*Rerv •' 3 DELAY IN CANADA COATICOOK, QUEBEC, Sept 0.— One year’s time may elapse before it la legally determined whether Harry K. Thaw, the fugitive from the Mat- teawan (N. T.) Asylum for the Crim inal Insane, is to be deported from Canada or is to receive the protec tion of its laws. Assurance to this effect was given to Thaw to-day by his counsel. Thaw is certain that he has won a long delay and immediately after breakfast began packing for the Jour ney to Montreal, where he must be produced in the Supreme Court on September 15, when arguments will be delivered on the writ of habeas corpus secured by J. N. Greenshlelds and N. K. LaFlamm© from Justices Coras and Gervais tn the Court of Appeals. Minister of Justice Doherty, who is also acting Minister of the Interior, is reported to have said to-day at Ottawa that any appeal from the de cision of the Immigration Board in Coatlcook ordering the deportation of Harry. K. Thaw will not be acted on until the proceedings instituted by Thaw’s lawyers yesterday are dis posed of. It was reported that Thaw ^ould be taken to Montreal tolday. His lawyer will immediately file applica tion for Thaw's liberation on bail. Coup a Legal Masterpiece. It had been supposed that Green- shields and LaFlamme had withdrawn from the case, seeing nothing but de feat, but their retreat was only a masterly piece of strategy by which the doors may have been opened for a test of the constitutionality of the immigration law governing deporta tion. here. Crowds surround his quarters in the immigration detention room all the time. So high has feeling been running that a force of uni formed Montreal police was sent here to-day to remain as long as Thaw does. Officials realize the pro-Thaw peo ple only need a leader to "start some thing. 1 ’* Worked up to the proper pitch, they undoubtedly would at tempt to storm the immigration bulld- irfg and release Thaw. Jerome Hearing Postponed. Complications have been t added to the general aspect of the Thaw case by the events subsequent to the ar rest of William Travers Jerome, ex- District Attorney of New York, on a charge of gambling. Mr. Jerome was to have been arraigned before Mag istrate McKee at 9:30 this morning, but Hector Verrett, acting for the New York lawyer, had the hearing postponed for a week. Meantime Mr. Jerome left Canada, goihg to Nortons Mills, Vt. In a sense, Mr. Jerome thus made of him self a fugitive from Justice, reversing the position of Thaw, -who is a fugi tive in Canada. Influence has been brought to bear upon Crown Prosecutor A. C. Hanson to have the charge against Mr. Je rome, who is at liberty on bond, dropped. The crown prosecutor refused to do this. Says Jerome Set Bad Example. "I have received many complaints about the open gambling of Mr. Je rome and I consider It my duty to push this case against him,” said the prosecutor. "He was setting a bad example. Every one could see him and his companions playing.” This is a sort of puritanical com munity and gambling 1b looked upon as a serious offense. Thaw had double cause for elation. He showed by act and utterance that he is enjoying the discomfiture of the prosecutor. In the first place he has gained a notable point in obtaining a writ of habeas corpus returnable in Montreal, and in the second place his Nemesis, Mr. Jerome, 1s In trouble, facing a possible sentence of a year. Thaw’s Lawyers Well Armed. “I have been assured to-day by W. L. Shurtleff, my attorney of record, that I probably will be able to fight my case out indefinitely in order to establish my civic status in Canada,” Thaw said. Thaw's lawyers here are well armed. In addition to the writ of habeas corpus they have two other instruments which open flghtingchan- nels. These aro an injunction re straining the Immigration Board of Inquiry from enforcing any decision in the matter of the ejection of Thaw as an undesirable alien, and they also have papers in an appeal from the decision of Judge Matthew Hutchin son. The Court of Appeals will hear arguments upon the appeal from Judge Hutchinson’s decision In the Boudreau habeas corpus case later. Complications Arising. Complications seem sure to become more tangled as the case proceeds. Interest from the points of law is being raised. Of these the appeal from Judge Hutchinson’s decision probably will attract most attention. In these proceedings Constable John Boudreau was placed In the position of trying to free a man he had ar rested. It was rumored that a warrant charging Mr. Jerome with being a fugitive from Justice would be issued. It is believed by many that the Je rome case will go to the grand Jury and that Mr. Jerome wifi have to stand trial in the October term of the King’s bench. Another Thaw Outburst. Captain John Lanyon, who has been Jerome’s inseparable companion, scoffed at the idea that the New York lawyer would forfeit his bail by remaining in the United States. Captain Lanyon bears credentials as a deputy keeper at the Mattea- wan Asylum for the Criminal Insane and has a warrant for Thaw charg ing conspiracy. There was another pro-Thaw dem onstration here, much to the annoy ance of E. Blake Robertson and other representatives of the Canadian Im migration Department. Holds Inquiry Is Illegal. A development occurred in Thaw’s favor which is regarded by the fugi tive’s counselors as a big step to ward victory. Thomas R. E. Mc- Innes, who drew up the immigration act under which Thaw's case comes, has sworn to a deposition in which he alleges that the Inquiry of the board of immigration officials was il legal. This deposition will be pre sented to the Supreme Court when arguments are made on the appeal from Judge Hutchinson's decision in the Boudreau habeas corpus proceed ings. Mclnnes asserts that the immigra tion authorities are proceeding with out the Minister of the Interior hav ing received any complaint as pro vided for by the law.

"I am relieved now that the long strain is over,” said Caminetti. "I am glad the Jury did not disagree and that the mesa is not to be gone over again. I am found guilty of violating the lyfiite slave law in taking Lola Norris to Reno, hut I am not guilty of persuading or enticing her away. I am not guilty of anything in con nection with the part Marsha War rington played in the trip to Reno. I hope they will drop the charges of conspiracy against me.” Caminetti. free under a $10,000 bond pending sentence by Federal Judge Van Fleet, was cheerful to day. The verdict of the Jury made possible a sentence of five years and a fine of $5,000. Maurv I. Diggs, con victed on the same charge, may be sentenced to twenty years and a $20,- 000 fine. The conviction of Caminetti, which followed that of Maury I. Diggs, his accomplice, gave the Mann white slave act a most thorough test and provided a sweeping victory for the Government.
