ser jurymen and by two court old
GERS. The law which was invoked
at the beginning Of the trial to keep
the jury together provides that no
one juror shall at, any time be
separated from the others.
Mrs. Bolton rallied Wednesday
afternoon, and he husband returned
to his place and the trial went on.
When court convened at 1880 yes
terday morning Bolton was again In
seat No. ID, but 1t was stated that
his wife's condition was critical and
he might be called away at any time.
Evans on the Stand
DIR. Britton D. Evans, superintend-
ent CT the New Jersey State Hospi-
tai for Insane, was recalled as an
alienist to continue his direct ex-
animation. The witness was asked
to detail the conversation he had had
on vanicus occasions with Thaw In
the Tombs. He had already declared
these conversations to be essential
features in his conclusion that Thaw
was of unsound mind at the time of
the Doctors first three visits to him,
the last being en- September 22d. Jer-
ONE had withdrawn his objections
to the statements by Thaw, going
into the evidence and Evans was
about to detail the events Of his first
visit on August 4th when the sum
mons for Juror Bolton came. Cap
tain Ricketts, Of the court police
squad, was seen to whisper to JUS
tice Fitzgerald. Bolton seemed to
divine his mission and he moved un-
easily in his chair.
"A recess was taken until 2 p. M,
and the juror, still accompanied by
two Of his associates and two court
officers hurried to his little home In
the Bronx where Mrs. Bolton was
being kept alive only by the use
of oxygen. She died soon after her
husbands arrival.
Jurors Released
Juror Bolton is 81 years Of age
and a clerk. When court again con-
vened at 2:25 p. M, there had been
La conference OF the attorneys with
Justice Fitzgerald and an agreement
had been reached to release the
remaining jurors from further con-
fnement. In taking this action JUS
:sso.s : !.s 10 tate
that the rule keeping them together
had not been adopted upon separate
RECOMMENDATION Of either side, but
was the resultso an agreement based
upon reasons which appeared excel
lent alike to the interests OF the
defendant and Of the people. There
was intended not the slightest re-
Election upon the jury in any way.
1t would have been well, I" Justice
Fitzgerald remarked, HIf the rule
could have been adhered to until
the close Of the trial, but the sad
occurrence had brought about a con-
dition which must be confronted. =
1t would be manifestly unfair 2
the court said, to keep the Jurors
further from their homes during the
delay.
In announcing the adjournment
until Monday, Justice Fitzgerald ex-
pressed the hope that the trial might
then proceed. 1t IS realized, how
ever. that this will depend largely
upon the condition in which Juror
Bolton may be at that time. If he
feels that he can put aside all per.
sonal consid derations and continue t<
act as juror the trial will be re.
Isumed. Il he feels that his condi.
tion Of mind is such, or. that Ill.
personal affairs are such as to pre-
vent his giving his whole attention
to the case during the remaining
days OF the trial some other solutior
OF the dificulty must be looked for
