Meanwhile the dwlver 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 walling for
developments in the Thaw case. They
realised 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

half carrying another man. The ex>
hausted man was Hairy Kendall
Thaw, slayer of Stanford White, and
the most spectacular prisoner of mod
em 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 was almost a nervous wreck
from his struggle and mental anguish.
His clothing was disarranged and his
face showed streaks of tear-mixed
dust.
Several newspaper correspondents
and others ran toward the scene. One
recognised Thaw. Thaw saw a motor
car and exclaimed: “I will give you
any sum in reason If you will take
me as a passenger In that car.”
Dodging of Sleuths Begins.
Thaw was bundled into the auto
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 fttewartstown.
Not far from this place a stop was
made at a farmhouse, where they got
something to eat. Thaw was nervous

a waiting high-powered touring car.
The chauffeur turned on full power
and the car shot forward headed to
ward Vermont.
It was only about 8 o’clock by thU
time and there were few persona
abroad. Thaw’s struggles Were
frantic that It required the full e
forts of Robertson find two compan
ions to hold him while the chauffeur
guided the car.
“I am being kidnaped,” shouted the
fugitive at the top of his lungs.
Deputy Superintendent of Immigra
tion Robertson was not kidnaping
Thaw, for he bore in his pocket u
warrant, signed by Minister of Jus
tice Doherty, also Acting Minister of
Interior, who had ordered Thaw's
ejection forthwith.
Wseps and Tears Hair.
Thaw thought that he could not be
deported because of the writ of pro
hibition granted in the Court of Ap
peals at Montreal, which held up the
order of deportation handed down by
the Immigration Board of Inquiry
last week.
Consequently the prisoner lost full j
control of himself and raged like ji
maniac. He wept and tore his hair
and screamed and struggled until all
in the car were exhausted.
their friend and would do anything:
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
Lanyon’s private detectives, commis
sioned by the State of New York and
Dutchess County, New York, to take
Thaw back, got on the trail.
Doubles on His Track*.
Then began one of the strangest
chases in the annals of New England.
Thaw thought by doubling on his trail
he might 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
Averill. The fugitive was dissatisfied
uith the speed of the car in which he
was traveling, and asked directions
about hiring another.
‘‘One that can go fast as the devil,”
was the way the fugitive put it.
How Thaw Was Put
Over Border Into Vermont.
COATIOOOK. QUEBEC. Sept. 10.—
Harry K. Thaw was taken from the
immigration station to the Vermont
border at 8 o’clock this morning. A3
Thaw left the station he yelled that It
was kidnaping, and as he was carried
attracted a number of persons.
‘ This is entirely regular,” was Rob
ertson s response to the fugitive's
protestations.
Robertson produced a warrant sign
ed by Minister of Justice Doherty,
who also is Acting Minister of the
Interior, ordering the ejection of
Thaw.
These proceedings were taken in
direct defiance of court proceedings
instituted in this city by Thaw’s law
yers, and in the face of an injunc
tion holding up the order of deporta
tion hapded down by the Immigra-f
tion Board of Inquiry last week.
When word was received in Mon
treal from Coaticook that Thaw had
been deported, it created consterna
tion among Thaw’s lawyers. They
had expected to hold up deportation
for six months, at least, possibly a
year, and, perhaps, if an appeal was
taken to the Privy Council, for two
years.
Thaw lost complete control of him
self as he was whirled through the
streets of Coaticook from the Immi
gration Building. Ho shouted and
waved his arms until he was ex
hausted. The authorities had pur
posely chosen an early hour when
few persons were about.
Robertson had to hold Thaw in the
automobile, as the fugitive struggled
with all his might to leap to the
ground. Thaw implored the hand
ful of persons who were attracted by
his screams to help him, but they did
not attempt to interfere.
By the forcible ejection of Thaw
from Canada to-day the fight shifts
to the United States, unless, by a pre
arranged plan, Thaw is seized in Ver
mont by private detectives employed
by former District Attorney William
T. Jerome, of New York, and taken
back to Matteawan.
That was evidently what Thaw
feared as he was being taken away
from Coaticook. He did not have a
chance to warn his lawyers to meet
him at the United States line and
fight against his .seizure there by rep
resentatives of New York. He also
thought that Jerome had gone to Ver
mont on Monday night.
The virtual kidnaping of Thaw,
upon orders of the Dominion Gov
ernment and in actual defiance of
orders from the high courts of the
land, was a dramatic climax to the
fight that Thaw has made against
ejection. No moving picture drama
could have been staged with such
spectacular details.
When N. K. La Flam me and Barris
ter Greenshield, who were instrumen
tal in holding up the Board of In
quiry’s order of deportation in the
Court of Appeals there, heard of the
ejection of their client they were
thunderstruck. At first they would
not believe It.
When the news got about in Coat
icook that Thaw- had been taken to
the line public feeling was aroused.
A crowd surrounded the immigration
building and there were demonstra
tions against the Government and in
favor of Thaw. Many women were
in the crowd.
“An outrage! An injustice!”
screamed the crowds.
In the meantime news had gone to
Sherbrooke. Attorney W. L. Shurt-
leff, counselor of record for Thaw,
immediately got into action, but could
do nothing to check the arrow-like
flight of the immigration authorities’
auto, which was speeding toward
Norton’s Mills, Vt., with Thaw hys
terically denouncing the immigration
departmtnt from the tonneau.
Persons living along the highway
traversed by the automobile said that
the car flashed by in a cloud of dust,
but above the humming of the motor
could be heard the protestations of
the prisoner.
