YEAR DELAY IN CANADA
LILY FOR THAW; MAY
TEST DEPORTATION LAW
COATICOOK, QUEBEC, Sept. 6>-
One year’s time may elapse before it
is legally determined whether Harry
K. Thaw, the fugitive from the Mat-
teawan (N. Y.) 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
breakfaM 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. LaFlamme from Justices
Corss and Gervals in the Court of
Appeals.
Minister of Justice I>oherty, 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
Coaticook 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 would
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shields and I^aFlamme had withdrawn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.’’ Worked up to the proper
pitch, they undoubtedly would at
tempt to stcfrm the immigration build
ing and release Thaw.
Jerome Hearing Postponed.
Complications have been 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,
going#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 Is 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, is In trouble,
facing a possible sentence of a year.
Thaw's Lawyers Well Armed.
‘T 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 fighting chan
nels. These are 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 will have to
stand trial In the Qctober 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 w f as 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.

'T am relieved now that the long
strain is over,” said Caminetti. “I
am glad the Jury did not disagree and
that the mess is not to be gone over
again. I am found guilty of violating
the white slave law In taking Lola
Norris to Reno, but I am not guilty
of persuading or enticing her away.
I am not guilty of anything in con

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. Maury 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,
Judge Van Fleet will pronounce sen
tence on both young men September
10.
Ten of the jury in Caminetti’s case
were for conviction on all four counts,
but two of the jurors held out against
this steadfastly, favoring an acquit
tal. After three hours of balloting, a
compromise was reached by the two
agreeing to vote for a conviction on
only one of the couvits.
The victory of the Government Is
made more spectacular from the
prominence of the men involved.
Caminetti Is from a well-known and
respected family. DlggH formerly
was the architect for the State of
California. The case was fought witlr
all the wealth at the command of
the affected families.
The flight of Caminetti and Diggs
from Sacramento, Cal., to Reno, Nev.,
with Marsha Warrington and LoU
Norris was made the basis for the
Government’s prosecution. The twi
men were indicted Jointly on six
Counts. The Government elected to
press only four In the case of Cami

appeared to be the self-constituted
manager of the party and Caminetti
