SirERBROOKE, Que., Aug. 27.
The most sensational demonstration
ever seen in a Canadian courtroom
was enacted here today when score
of spectators tobo to their feet and
sheuted: "Hurrah for Judge Glob
ensky," and "Give Thaw fair play"
for five minutes, when the court
postponed action until 3 o'clock this
afternoon on an applicttioa by at
torneys for Harry K. Thaw, the Mat
teawan fugitive, to dismiss the ap
plication of Thaw for a writ of
habeas corpus.
This outburst in Thaw's 1mc tal
lowed another scene unparalleled in
Canadian court procedure.. It cane
when a battery of American photo
graphers mounted the platform to
the judge's bench and snapped Thaw,
his attorneys and spectators an they
filed into tho courtroom. The bail
iffs and other court attaches were
so astounded by this effrontery that
they did not interfere until the pho
tographers had secured photographs
of all the principals m the famous
case. Thaw grinned throughout the
procedure, seemingly appreciating
tho enterprise of his countrymen.
Thaw Waffs Atteadaat
When Thaw started to enter the
inclosure reserved for attorneys he
was stopped by a court attendant.
"This space," the attache said, "U
reserved for the lawyers."
"Somo of us here," quickly re
sponded Thaw, "are the greatest law
yers on tho continent."
The attendant gasped, muttered (o
himsolf, but allowed tho prisoner to
enter, and he sat throughout the pro
ceedings surrounded by his attor
neys. Attorney Shurtcliffe, representing
Thaw, then moved to dismiss the
habeas corpus application, saying he
acted under the civil code.
"Why net under tho civil codef'
asked Judge Globensky. "Such ac
tion is unprecedented."
The court refused to hear the law
yers representing Now York state in
opposition to Thaw'a application and
adjourned for the purpose of con
sidering whether to permit with
drawal of tho haboaa corpus appli
cation. Spectators Roar Approval r
Tho spectators roared their ap
proval of Judge Qlobensky's refusal
to hear tho New York attorneys.
"That's tho way to do it," thoy
shouted, and "Hurray for Globensky
nnd Thaw I"
Tho demonstration continued for
five minutes, neither Judge Glob
ensky .or the court attaches making
uny effort to curb the spectators.
