HEAR ST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, QA., SUNDAY, KEPTEMRER 14, 1913. 9 A Fugitive’s Counsel Head Off Ex tradition, and Open Avenue for Appeal to Highest Bench, CONCORD, N. H„ Sept. 13.—Asking h 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 Sliurtleff, of Lan caster. New York State was not 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 parties 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, could not see Governor Felker to-day. Jerome Furious as He Hears of Writ. COLEBROOK, N. H., Sept. 13.— 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,” safcl 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 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: Explains Two Writs. “I secured the writ in order to have two strings to our bow. The way is now open to a test of Thaw’s rights either in State or Federal courts. We 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, sai 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 of the breaking of the agreement. It is not improbable that Grossman will be called up for contempt in seeking to use the Federal courts a sa means to secure what is practically an in junction against the New York ofll- 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, and callings on Governor F'elker 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 bf 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 Hearst newspapers a copy of a letter which was written by hi3 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 impending proceedings? Yours sincerely, MARY C. THAW. H ARRY THAW is shown being: escorted by the Sheriff at Colebrook, N. II.. after his forced entrance in the coun try from which he fled.

SAVANNAH, Sept. 13.—While at work on a smokestack 100 feet in the air at the Atlantic Coast Line docks, Vangaather Cooley, a Hindu, lost his footing and plunged to the ground below.

SUES PULLMAN COMPANY FOR $10,000 DAMAGES 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 jnashers. 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 anJ asked: “Where you going?” Mrs. 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 I did not have it to-day. Hereafter I will carry it, and if 1 am addressed as I was to-day I’ll kill the man who does It.” JACKSONVILLE, Sept. 13.- cause those in change of the Be- car would not assist her into an upper berth or give her a lower one and would not look after her baggage, which was lost, Mrs. G. C. Mattox, of Kissimmee, has entered suit in Fed eral Court against the Pullman Com pany for $10,000. Gl LS!

Additional proof of the collapse of the “open' town” ticket f4>r Council was given Saturday afternoon in an absolutely reliable report that Dan S. Walraven would withdraw 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 Com- missdoner from the Seventh Ward, according to authentic gossip. His plans failed for this coup, and when he put up the necessary $95 entrance fee it was thought he was in the fight to the finish. Mr. Walraven never had announced a platform, but the active efforts in his behulf 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 Aldermanlc seat now will go to Jesse Armistead without a Contest. Strange to say, he had the support of Mayor Woodward and the anti-Wood ward faction in Council. He was chairman of the Seventh Ward campaign committee of Aldine Chambers in the la?*t 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 Marcellus 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 he was for Councilman Thomson 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 Councilmanic contests are, they will be set aside until after September 24 for the new charter fight. With an assurance of 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.
