Preparations Under Way to Speed Extradition From New Hamp shire to Matteawan—Array of Counsel Retained for Struggle. COLEEROOK, N. H„ Sept. 13 Harry Thaw, far from maintaining the cool, masterful pom* that he af fected when he began him 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. He had no means of making good the escape for which his freedom gave him oppor tunity. And the panic seems 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 fills him with 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 Acting Governor Glynn, of New York, at the request of the authorities of Dutchess County. The papers were directed to Governor Felker, of New Hampshire, who has announced that he recognizes Mr. Glynn's right to Issue them. However, there come moments of calm, in which he plans to continue his fight against return to New York soil. He announced to-day that he has employed a retinue of lawyer# to conduct his fight here, and that he! keep# In touch with his advocates In Canada, who are endeavoring to ob tain his legal return to Canadian soil Scores Immigration Offioers. 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 would heed his 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 te-dav. In talking of his plana to fight 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 Imml gratlon authorities. Jerome and his allies who have been pursuing Thaw are not yet over the fright they re reived when they found the fugitive had been released. For three hours they scoured the countryside, ob- nensed by the fear that they would lose their quarry. And now they are Indignantly talking of the high-hand ed action of the immigration official!*.

The fight, transferred from Canad a 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 eyes of New York authorities, could j not conspire, in the sense of the law. i Jeromv Grows Impatient. The fight probably will consume several days or ft week, that even If the fugitive loses he will not be taken to Matteawan before late this week. Jerome is growing impatient over thv. rt\ bbcrnnerj of Thaw’s fight. anJ Immediately upon his ar rival he sought audiences with Gov ernor Felker and Attorney General 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 liimsvlf 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 1* significant in this matter, but that opinion has been a spectacular factor In the case so far, and probably will continue so The Monadnock House, the hotel where he is held, baa be come a public debating field, its lobby- being crowded with men fur Thaw and against Thaw. / L^-~ otF»oeTiro A*y> NEW YORK, Sept. 13.—"There are many ways In which I could help Har- ry, Just aj* I have done before. Some day he will realize that and come to me asking for help." The above statement was made to day by Evelyn Nshit 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 hls 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. ‘Tie realizes that I have sacrificed every thing In the past for hls 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 In any material way In hls fight for freedom?" "Yes, Harry realizes that. But I will never give any assistance to Har ry- until he sends for me as hls wife.** Depends on His Lawyers. "There are a hundred w-ays 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 hls fight?" Mrs. Thaw was asked. V * s "In what way could you help your husband ?” "I will not discuss that with any one,” was Mrs. Thaw’s answer. I will say that I stand ready to help him in a way he knows. But he re fuses to ask me. But let Harry send me the proper message and I will show the world that I stand ready to again make every sacrifice and do everything In my power to make Har ry a free man." “Why don’t you communicate with Harry Thaw’s mother?” was asked.

N H.. Sept. IS.—I For the first time in nearly a week, the special correspondent of The Georgian was able to-day to obtain iin interview with Thaw. The ques tions and answers were all written by i Thaw himself. Q. Why do you suppose such un usual methods, special trains, etc. j are used In pursuit of you?—A. We supiHJsed It was part of the tender care with which a few New York offi- ! rials have been shielding the names of Messrs. Blank and Blank Q. But in Canada you published a statement that you and your friends were forced to declare that you bad r.o 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 may be a desire to keep hidden a curious relation between a lawyer who 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 nothing unprofessional in this, but we are told that this secret has done us much barm. Q. Mr. Gerry is not concerned In this?—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. Nicholl was counsel for Mr. White's associates, as well as for Mr White. Q. That he was counsel for Messrs. Blank and Blank?—A. Yes. and hls 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 bo com pletely concealed like the names of Messrs. Blank and Blank. Q. Didn't 5 our lawyer speak of this last summer?—A. Yes; he explained that influenzal gentlemen f«um 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 sa.d, “Is there any thing strange that these people should wish that these things should not come out?” Q. It has been said that you as saulted a man named Robinson when, in defiance of the writ of the court of Kinas bench, you were carried out of that i ourt's Jurisdiction?—A. That was an error Q.

When General Sherman arrived in Columbia, he set fire t- the convent, and the nuns, fearing that the \alu- ables would be forever destroyed, re vealed their hiding place. General Sherman took charge of the property, It is said, and sent It to the Treasury, making afull report to the War Department. Yesterday’s visitors saw Byrom Newton, private secretary to Secre tary Mc.Adoo, and told him the story. Mr. Newton, on investigation, found that during the war a great deal of Jewelry and silver plate had been turned over to the Treasury for safe keeping. This was kept there, he said, until about ten years ago, when It was sent to the War Department. The visitors were sent to that department. On arrival there they met John C. Scofield, assistant and chief clerk, who referred them to Colonel H. O. S. Helstand, Acting Adjutant General. They told Colonel Helstand the same story, asking him to let them look at the report made by General Sherman.
