A knot of spectators gathered quickly outside the building and watched the struggle.' Except for the principals they were the only persons In Coatlcook who knew what was go ing on. None of the lawyers here rep resenting New York state were notified of thi jlan.todjOort Thaw, and none of Thaw's lawyers had an inkling nt what was in the air. They were dumb founded when they learned later what hnd happened. ' Townspeople unloosed their Indig nation when the news became general and sought Hecto Verrett, of counsel for New York Btate for an explana tion.. Mr. Verrett had none to offer. Nblther he nor Mr. Jerome, he said, had been told of the deportation plan. Neither had any part In It he declared.

Ottawa, Ont.,, Sept 10. C. J. Do herty, as acting minister of the Inte rior department, today said he had re jected Thaw's appeal from the decis ion of the immigration hoard of In quiry, .upholding the findings' of the board and ordering the deportation of Thaw forthwith, : This order was carried out this morning. The writ of habeas corpus or writ of prohibition issued at Mon treal, said Mr. Doherty, did not enjoin the immigration authorities from tak ing this' step. "I Issued the warrant for the depor. tation of . Thaw which has been acted upon this morning and I did it in pur suance of my duty aa acting minister of the interior," said Judge Doherty. "t assume full responsibility for the deportation. The action has been taken after careful consideration. What was done was merely to carry out the law." Judge Doherty , explained that the Canadian Immigration law directed the seizure of persons who were bub pected. of being undesirable, their ex amination by a board of inquiry and deportation. . i . 'Thaw was suspected, seized, exam Ined, condemned as an undesirable and now has been sent back whence he came and by the same route. added Judge Doherty. "What about the court orders, the writ of prohibition and the writ of habeas corpus?" ho was asked. "There was no writ of prohibition directed to the authorities who had Thaw in custody," replied the Judge. "As for the writ of habeas corpus, It was directed to. the officer who had Thaw in custody before the board of Inquiry took action. By the operation of .the Immigration law. Thaw passed from the possession of the officer to where the writ of habeas corpus had not been directed. "New, York asked that Thaw be sent back to that state instead of to some other point on the international boun dury. Was that point considered be fore action was taken," he was asked, "Yes," replied Judge Doherty. It was considered and we found the law directs that an undesirable be deport. ed by the route by which he entered the country. This, is what we have done." Attorneys here said that Thaw's counsel blundered in falling to have the writs directed to the Canadian minister of justice Instead of the minor officials. Cniiti-mntible THck.

' Ottawa dispatches report that Com missioner Perry in Regina has receiv ed definite Information of the murder of the two explorers about the fifth of June, 1912, while the men were en route to Fort McPherson, but since Eskimo advices are usually accepted with caution members of the Cana dian mounted police force have been sent oUt to ' Investigate the circum stances..
