Extradition From New Hamp
shire to Matteawan—Array of
Counsel Retained for Struggle.!
OOLKBROOK, N H.. Sept 13.—
Harry Thaw, far from maintaining
the cool, masterful p'»®e that he af
fected when he began hln fight against
returning to Matteawan, is living In
a state of terror. The unexpected
freedom given him when the Cana
dian authorities without notice hus
tled him over the border has unset
tled him.
Free for a few hours. Thaw was
thrown Into a panic of indecision. His
plans were disarranged lie had no
means of making good the escape for
which his freedom gave him oppor
tunity. And the panic Heems to have
remained with him.
Here in the hotel where he remains
under guard. Thaw insists that the
officers sleep Just outside the door
The presence of Jerome tills him with j
terror.
Added reason was given to his fear
when requisition papers calling for
his extradition from New Hampshire |
to New York State were approved by 1
Acting Governor Glynn, of New York, j
at the request of the authorities of j
Dutchess County. The papers were I
directed to Governor Felker, of New |
Hampshire, who has announced that j
he recognizes Mr. Glynn's right to
Issue them.
However, there come moments of j
calm, In which he plans to continue
his flght against return to New York i
soil. He announced to-day that he j
ha** employed a retinue of lawyers to
conduct his flght here, and that he
keeps in touch with his advocates In
Canada, who are endeavoring to ob
tain his legal return to Canadian soil
Scores Immigration Officors.
Also. In these moments of logical
behavior, Thaw Is loudly Indignant In
his attack on Canadian authorities
for arbitrarily hustling him over the
border. He and his lawyers charge
that the action was without legal
basis. His hopes were that the courts
of the Dominion wguld heed Ms plea
and prevent extradition. In Canada
he was glowing In his praise of Can
ada and Its people, declaring his be
lief that he would obtain Justice. Now
he Is disgruntled.
"I hope to get a better variety of
justice under the Stars and Stripes.”
he said to-day. In talking of his plans-
to flght against returning to New
York.
Oddly enough. Thaw and his ene
mies are of a single mind in denounc
ing the action of the Canadian lmml
gratlon authorities. Jerome and his
allies who have been pursuing Thaw
are not yet over the fright they re
ceived when they found the fugitive
had been released. For three hours
they scoured the countryside, ob-
wcised by the fear that they would
lose their quarry. And now they are
indignantly talking of the high-hand
ed action of the immigration officials
Jerome and Deputy Attorney Gen
eral Kennedy, of New York, bo*
w'ere bitter In their attack on thop
who sent Thaw across the border free
The flght, transferred from Canada
to New Hampshire, will take on a
slightly different aspect. Jerome and
his allies will attempt to obtain
Thaw’s return to New York on a
warrant charging him with conspir
ing to escape from the asylum, a
criminal charge. Thaw’s lawyers will
attempt to offset this with the argu
ment that Thaw being Insane In the
eves of New York authorities, could
not conspire. In the sense of the law.
Jcrom« Grows Impatient.
The flght probably will consume
several days or a week, mo that even
If the fugitive loses he will not be
taken to Matteawan before late this
week. Jerome Is growing Impatient
over tlu r11 bbcrnnaaa of Thaw's
flght. anJ Immediately upon his ar
rival he sought audiences with Gov
ernor Felker and Attorney Genera]
Tuttle, of New Hampshire, to obtain
from them the promise of no delay In
the hearing
With the time for the hearing at
hand. Thaw finds hirmvlf among a
people who are not nearly so uni
versal In their admiration of him as
were the Canadians. There are ele
ments among the populace who are
emphatically favorable toward his
suit. It is true, but there are many
New Hampshire men who stoutly
maintain that he has no right to re
main in New Hampshire
Not that the opinion of the public l-
significant In this matter, but tha;
opinion ha.M been a spectacular factor
in the case so far, and probably will
continue so. The Monadnock House,
the hotel where he Is held, has be
come a public debating Held, its lobby
bring crowded with men for Thaw
and against Thaw.
CO DEBROOK. N. H.. Sept. 13 — I
For the first time in nearly a week,
the special correspondent of The
Georgian was able to-day to obtain
an interview with Thaw. The ques
tions and answers were ail written by
Thaw himself.
Q Why do you suppose* such un- i
usual methods, special trains, etc.
are used In pursuit of you?—A We
supposed It was part of the tender
care with which a few New York offi
cials have been shielding the names
of Messrs. Blank and Blank
Q. But in Canada you published a
statement that you and your friends
w’ere forced to declare that you bad
no Intention of uncovering those
names?—A Yes. and now we are
bound not to.
Q. Then why this persistent chase
at the cost of the taxpayers of New
York?—A It has been suggested that
one reason i my be a desire to keep
hidden a curious relation between a
lawyer w ho acted as counsel for the
late Mr. White and the Gerry So
ciety.
Q. Do you mean the New York So-
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children?—A. Yes, there was nothin*
unprofessional in this, but we are
told that /his secret has done us much
harm.
Mr. Gerry is not concerned in
title?—A. Not the least; the control
of that society was taken from the
excellent Commodore long ago.
Q. Did Judge Olcott testify some
thing about this last summer?—A.
Yes. Judge Olcott testified that Mr.
Nlcholi was counsel for Mr. White’s
associates, ns well as for Mr White
Q. That he was counsel for Messrs
Blank and Blank?—A. Yes; and his
firm also is counsel for the children's
society.
Q How many people know’ this?—
A. That is the trouble. A great many
people know it. so it can’t be com
pletely concealed like the names of
Messrs. Blank and Blank.
Q. Didn’t y our lawyer speak of this
last summer?—A Yes; he explaineo
that influential gentlemen fiom the
beginning wanted to pretend 1 was
Insane to keep these facts from com
ing out.
Q Didn't Jerome himself say the
same thing to the jury that acquitted
you?—A. Jerome said, “Is there any
thing strange that these people should
i wish that these things should not
come out V*
Q It has been said that you as
saulted a man named Robinson when.
In defiance of the writ of the court
of Kings bench, you were carried out
of that court’s Jurisdiction?—A. That

The above statement was mad© to
day by Evelyn Nsbit Thaw aftr she
was asked what she would do If the
attorneys for Harry Thaw should call
her to appear as a witness for him In
his efforts to obtain his freedom.
"There is nothing In all this world
that I would not do to help Harry
If he would come to me and make a
request,” continued Mrs. Thaw. “He
realizes that I have sacrificed every
thing In the past for his happiness
and that any one who has gone as far
as I have gone would not ‘quit’ until
they had won a complete victory.”
"Do you believe you could help
Harry iri any material way in his
flght for freedom?”
"Yes, Harry realizes that. But I
will never give /my assistance to Har
ry until he sends for me as his wife.”
Depends on His Lawyers.
"There are a hundred ways in which
Harry could communicate with me. I
realize that he can not come to me.
But he doesn’t communicate with me;
he depends upon his high-priced law-
yers.”
"Could a friend transmit a message
to you from him that would act the
same as a personal message, so that
you would hasten to his side and aid
In his flght?” Mrs. Thaw was asked.
