far front maintaining
the cool, masterful pose that he af
fected when he began hi*-* 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 neems to have
remained with him.
Here in the hotel where he remains
under guard. Thaw insets that the
officers Rleep 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
ha* employed a retinue of lawyers to
conduct his fight 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 Officers.
Also, in these momenta of logical
behavior, Thaw is loudly indignant in
his attack on Canadian authorities
for arbitrarily hustling him over
border. He and hla 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 n better variety of
juJtlce under the Stars and Stripes,”
he said to-day. in talking of his plans
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 imtnl
gration authorities. Jerome and his
all es 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-
Mes>ed hv 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
were bitter In their attack on tho
who sent Thaw across the border free
The fight, 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.
Jerome Grows Impatient.
The fight probably will consume
several days o’.* a week. **o that even
If the fugitive loses he will not be
taken to Matteawan before late this j
week. Jerome is growing Impatient j
over tbs. eti bbernnea^ 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 himsvlf among a
people who are not nearly so uni
versal in their admiration of him as
were the Canadians. There are ele
ments nmong the populace who are
emphatically favorable toward his
suit, it Is true, but there are many
New Hampshire men who stoutly
maintain that lie has no right to re
main in New Hampshire.
Not that the opinion of the public l«
significant in this matter, but thn;
opinion hap been a spectacular fact< t
in the case so far. and probably will
continue so. The Monadnock Hous»

Thaw Evolves Another
Handmade Interview
COLEBROOK, N. H. Sept. 13.—
For the first lime 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 all written by
Thaw himself.
Q. Why do you suppose such un
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 vour friends
were forced to declare that you had
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 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-

this?—A. Not tho least, tho 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.
Nieholl 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 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 Blunk and Blank
Q. E>idn’t your law’yer speak of this

that infiueiv al gentlemen fiom the

insane to keep these facts from com

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
; wish that these things should not
come out?”

i tary McAdoo, 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.
chief clerk,
who referred them to Colonel H. O.
S. Heistand, Acting Adjutant General.
They told Colonel Heistand the same
story, asking him to V>t them look at
the report made by General Sherman.
Lady Banff explained that her
mother had placed some of the fam
ily jewels in the lot, and that she now
wanted to recover them.
Unable to Find Report.
Colonel Heistand made an exam
ination, but failed to find any report
made by General Sherman. He called
n some of the oldest clerks of the
department, but they, too, were un
able to remember anything of the
Kind. Lady Banff insisted that it
was there, declaring that when she
v.as a girl she had visited the War
Department and had seen it.
Colonel Heistand said that he
w r ould make a further investigation,
and that he would notify the visitors,
who are living In Washington, in
Sixth street northtfest.

Washington for some time and has
on several occasions been prominent
