That lot, and the old ready-to-fall-

Agnes Hotel, are a disgrace to Nor-

Police Inspector Harry Grioux of 4.

the morning he wa- deported were
those of a man mentally unbalanced.1
He told how Thaw cried: "They are;
kidnapping me," and threw a beer hot-'
tie through a jail window. "I though'
him a dangerous man then." testified
Grioux. "I had to grab him by the
shoulder to quiet him. I actually was;
afraid of him."
Frank McFadden, another Canadian
witness, corroborated Grioux'- story.
After the introduction of further
documentary evidence today the stats
