Appeal to Highest Bench.
CONCORD, N. H„ Sept. 13.—Asking
a writ of habeas corpus In the United
States District Court this afternoon,
counsel for Harry K. Thaw have
headed off extradition and paved the
way for a possible appeal to the Unit
ed State Supreme Court.
Judge Aldrich, who granted the ap
plication for the writ, to-day made It
returnable at Littleton Tuesday morn
ing at 11 o’clock. Thaw’s attorneys
were Nathaniel E. Martin, of Con
cord, and Merrill Shurtleff, of Lan
caster.
New Tork State was ndt represent
ed by counsel at the hearing. Pro
ceedings were in chambers, none ex
cept the judge, his clerk and counsel
being admitted.
Besides granting the application for
the writ, Judge Aldrich also issued an
injunction restraining all .lartieo from
interfering In any way with Thaw or
with the service from the writ pend
ing the hearing next Tuesday. Copies
of the writ were served later In the
day at Colebrook on Sheriff Drew,
Attorney General Tuttle and William
Travers Jerome.
Sheriff Hornbeck, of Dutchess
County, New York, who arrived hero
last night with extradition papers
and a warrant for the arrest of Thaw,

Jerome Furious as
He Hears of Writ.
COLEBROOK, N. H., Sept.
William Travers Jerome and his co
terie were furious this afternoon
when informed of the issuance of the
writ of habeas corpus by Judge Aid-
rich, of the United States District
Court at Concord, restraining Sheriff
Drew from turning Harry K. Thaw
over to the New York authorities.
“The obtaining of this writ is an
absolute violation of a gentleman’s
agreement between Moses I. Gross-
man and myself,” said Jerome an
grily. “Furthermore, it is absolute
ly irregular. Grossman and I agreed
that no legal action should be taken
until Governor Felker had an oppor
tunity to consider the matter.”
Grossman, who has been retained I
as an extradition expert to fight
against the return of Thaw to Mat-
teawan, smiled when Jerome's state
ment was repeated to him. He said: i
Exp ains Two Writs.
“I secured the writ in order to
have two strings to our bow. The
way is noV open to a test of Thaw’s
rights either in State or Federal
cour>s. Wo secured the writ to pre
vent New York officers from seizing
Thaw and rushing him away the mo
ment Governor Felker signed the
Executive warrant.”
All bets are off now, sal dJerome.
“I won’t say what fireworks may
be discharged to-night or to-morrow,”
he continued. “The Thaw people may
expect anything from us now. because
4>f the breaking of the agreement. It
\i not improbable that Grossman will
*e called up for contempt in seeking
io use the Federal courts a sa means
/O secure what is practically an in
junction against the New York offi
cers.”
At 6 o’clock to-night Fred A.
Hornbeck, Sheriff of Duchess Coun
ty, arrived here from Albany with
the requisition papers signed by Act
ing Governor Glynn, of New York,
end calling on Governor Felker to
send Thaw back to New York.
The requisition papers will be taken
to Concord Monday and will be pre
sented to Governor Felker on Tues
day.
if Governor Felker sets the date for
the hearing later in the week Thaw’s
presence in Colebrook will be as
sured for several days.
Petition Cheers Thaw.
Thaw was greatly cheered this eve
ning when he was shown a copy of
the petition, which Is signed by 2,000
citizens of Colebrook asking Governor
Felker not to extradite him.
Thaw gave to a representative of
the Hears t newspapers a copy of a
letter which was written by his
mother to Governor Felker. The let
ter reads as follows:
To His Excellency Governor
Felker:
I address your excellency in
the interest of my son, H. K.
Thaw, who after being deprived
of the liberty the average ac
quitted man would have Imme
diately received after a verdict of
not guilty upon the ground of the
defendant’s insanity at the time
of the commission of the act
charged under the indictment, has
for five and a half years endured
untold hardships and indignities
In one of New York’s worst penal *
institutions. Finally despairing of
securing fair treatment by habeas
corpus proceedings, he took the
only recourse left, a flight for the
freedom denied through malice.
May I beg that your excellency
may secure to him In whatever
way proper a fair and impartial
hearing during the
proceedings?

LOGANSPORT, IND„ Sept. 13.—
Mrs. Jessie James stood on a corner
in the business district to-day con
versing with her father. John Glnga-
man, and near by, gazing at her, were
grouped five mashers. Mrs. James
bade her father good-bye and started
away.
“Oh, you chicken! Busy?” cried
one of the group.
Wheeling around, Mrs. James step
ped back to the group, and smilingly
inquired, “Who spoke?”
One of the crowd stepped out and
asked: “Where you going?”
Airs. James slammed her fist against
his face and he staggered. Before he
could recover she struck again, a fair,
straight blow, which put him to the
sidewalk.
Then she rushed upon the other
four, who crowded against a building.
Her attack was so unexpected and
forceful that the quartet had felt
the effects of her fists before one of
them fought back and knocked Mrs.
James across the sidewalk and
against a mail box.
She stooped, grabbed a loose pav
ing brick and let it fly. It landed
on the head of the man she had
knocked down, and who had risen
and was running away. The others
followed and boarded an outgoing
interurban car.
From the corner to the place where
they took the car a trail of blood
marked the passing of the one against
whose head Mrs. James' brick collid
ed.
“Sometimes I carry a gun,” said
Mrs. James to the crowd that gath
ered about her. “I am glad
Additional proof of the collapse of
the “open town” ticket for Council
was given Saturday afternoon in an
absolutely reliable report that Dan S.
Walraven would withdraw 7 as a can
didate for Alderman from the Sev
enth Ward.
Mr. Walraven wanted to withdraw
several days ago in exchange for
pledges of support for Police. Coin-
misirfioner from the Seventh Ward,
according to authentic gossip. His
plans failed for this coup, and when
he put up the necessary $115 entrance
fee it was thought he was in the fight
to the finish.
Mr. Walraven never had announced
a platform, hut the active efforts in
his behalf of T. M. Webb, proprietor
of two downtown locker clubs, and
the efforts of his friends to get the
support of Mayor Woodward and
other advocates of a more liberal po
lice policy stamped him as an “open
town” man.
Armistead to Get Place.
The Seventh Ward Aldermanic
seat now will go to Jesse Armistead
without a contest. Strange to say, he
had the support of Mayor Woodward
and the antl-Woodw 7 ard faction in
Council. He w r as chairman of the
Seventh Ward campaign committee
of Aldine Chambers in the last may
oralty election; but also he is presi
dent of the Typographical Union,
Mayor Woodward's own union. This
latter affiliation of Mr. Armistead Is
said to be the cause of Mayor Wood
ward’s support of him.
Friends of Mr. Walraven had de
clared that both Mr. Walraven and
Mr. Armistead would withdraw from
the race in favor of MarceHus Ander
son. Mr. Anderson was said to have
pledged his support to Mr. Walraven
for Police Commissioner. Mr. Arm
istead kicked out of the game and
was conceded to be to a supporter of
Fred Lester for Police Commissioner
before the Walraven-Anderson sup
porters realized what was up.
Only a remnant of the “open town”
advocates remain In the field. Amos
Braselton Is making the Issue between
him and Albert D. Thomson for Al
derman from the Fourth Ward a more
liberal police policy.
Braselton More Liberal.
“I have no idea of trying to bring
back the ‘houses In our midst,’ ” said
Mr. Braselton, “but I’ll guarantee to
support a far more liberal policy than
my opponent has.”
Mr. Thomson has not taken up the
challenge as yet, but he declares he
will put plenty of ginger Into the race
before it Is over.
Alderman J. B. Everett, for whose
seat they are fighting, declared that I
he was for Councilman Thomsen for
the Aldermanic place Saturday after
noon.
“I want to thank my friends for
efforts to have me re-elected,” he
said. “City Attorney James L. May-
son advises me that the charter time
limit prevents me running again.
“I will take pleasure in casting my
vote for Councilman Albert Thom
son.”
Fight Bitter on Charter.
Interesting as the Councllmanic
contests are, they will be set aside
until after September 24 for the. new
charter fight. With an assurance 6f
remaining firmly in the saddle for an
other year, the old crowd of city Of
ficials have started a determined fight
to get the new charter adopted.
Mayor Woodward has started out
with even more spirit to kill the char
ter. He declares that it Is a “fraud
In the name of reform, and that It
will Intrench the ’ring’ more strongly.”
On account of his aggressive atti
tude, the issue has become more or
less a Woodward Issue. The anti-
Woodward element hopes to repudiate
the administration of the Mayor by
passing this charter over his oppo
sition.
