After his luncheon Thaw went to the lobby of the Mondanock House, where he had eaten, and ordered a cigar. Jeron.e on the Way. Jerome was* expected to arrive here some time in the afternoon and im mediately begin his fight on United States soil to have Thaw extradited into New York State on the con trary warrant «'worn out in Dutch cue County, New York, immediately after his escape from Matteawan Asylum. In the meantime Thaw was kept under the eye of the Sheriff. Thaw said he would make no objections to going to the combination Jail and courthouse, as he intended to tignt legally against his return to New York. “I can not talk about my trip here from the border." said Thaw. ‘‘Sont» friends tried to help me, but the roads up here must have been pattern^., after a cobw'eb. *‘I was so hungry and tired and cramped that I had to get out of the machine at Little Schoolhouse. I was going to ask some directions, for we had traveled n a circle part of the time this morning. Sheriff Drew spotted me while I was walking up and down stretching my leg*'. I kne.v it was useless to Make any fight against detention. It would only have made matters worse.’ From the moment that Deputy Su perintendent of Immigration K. Flake Robertson aroused Thaw in the im migration detention quarters in Coatlcook. Quebec, shortly after 7 o'clock more or less mystery sur rounded the movements and motives in the Might. Whether Thaw’ was in the hands of the New' York authorities after he was dumped in Vermont or whether he had cunningly devised a plan for his own escape was not known until hours afterward. Thaw Raves at Officer. When Immigration Officer Robert son showed Thaw a warrant for his immediate ejection from Canada the fugitive began to rave. *‘l wont go with you," screamed Thaw. "This is a case of kidnaping. This is outrageous. I want to talk with my counsel. You can’t plot with Jerome to get me back into Matte- wan." Thaw almost had to be forcibly dressed. He grabbed a bottle and hurled It through a window of the room. Fighting and screaming he was carried from the room and placed in a waiting high-powered touring car. The chauffeur turned on full power and the car shot forward headed t ward Vermont. It was only about 8 o’clock by this time and there were few r persons abroad. Thaw’s struggles were so frantic that it required the full ef- the Immigration Hoard of Inquiry! last week. Consequently the prisoner lost full control of himself and raged like a maniac. He wept and tore his hair and streamed and struggled until ail In the car were exhausted. Meanwhile the driver kept the au tomobile speeding toward Vermont. At Norton’s Mills, which is near the border, a number of newspaper cor respondents have been stationed for several days, patiently waiting for developments in the Thaw case. They realized that if the Canadian Govern ment should go above the courts and deport Thaw the Matteawan fugitive certainly would be taken to that point. Reporters There to Greet Him. The watchful correspondents, there fore. were upon the field when a dust- covered automobile, w'hich came from the direction of Coaticook, stopped at the imaginary line dividing the do minion of King George and Uncle Sam. Three persons leaped from the car, half carrying another man. The ex hausted man was Harry Kendall Thaw, slayer of Stanford White, and the most spectacular prisoner of mod ern times. • Mr. Robertson told Thaw that he was at the gateway of the United States and that if he crossed he was a free man unless picked up by some of the watchful sleuths of William T. Jerome. Thaw u’as almost a nervous wreck from his struggle and mental anguish. His clothing was disarranged and his mobile without ceremony, and the party started toward Averill, a few miles eastward. Someone argued that there were a number of detec tives In that part of the country, so a dash was made back to Norton’s Mills. From Nortons Mills it was de cided to go to Beecher Falls, where. Thaw thought, he might attempt to cross the border. At Beecher Falls it was decided to take another tack, and the automo bile sped on to Stewartstown. Not far from this place a stop was made at a farmhouse, where they got something to eat. Thaw was nervouR and apprehensive, and kept assuring j the newsjaper men that he "was their friend and would do anything j for them if they would only help him out.” In the meantime the news had spread over the countryside that Thaw was spinning over the north ern end of Vermont and New Hamp shire in an automobile. Captain John Canyon’s private detectives, commis sioned by the State of New York and Dutchess County, New York, to lake Thaw back, got on the trail. D.oubles on His Tracks. Then began one of the strangest chases in the annals of New England. Thaw thought by doubling on his trail he tnighi throw his pursuers off the track. He realized that Deputy At torney Generals Jerome and Franklin Kennedy, of New York State, might have privately secured the signatures of the Governors of Vermont and New Hampshire to extradition war rants, so he headed toward Maine. Thaw spoke with H. D. Spaulding, proprietor of the Lakeside Inn at A*verill. Tiie fugitive was dissatisfied with the speed of the car in which he was traveling, and asked directions about hiring another. “One that can go Cast as the devil.” was the way the fugitive put it.
