the jury which since January 70 last
had been trying Harry X. Thaw report
ed on Friday, after forty-seven hours
and eight minutes of deliberauoh'
that it could not possibly agree on
verdict. The twelve men were
promptly discharged by Justice Fltz-
gerald. who declared that he, too, be-
lieyed their task was hopeless. Thaw
was remanded to the Tombs without
hail to await a second trial on the
charge of having murdered Stanford
White.
When this new trial would take
place no one connected with the case
could express an opinion. District
Attorney Jerome declared there were
many other persons accused OF homi-
eide awaiting trial, and Thaw would
have to take his turn with the rest.
AS to a possible change OF venue,
both the district attorney and coun-
sci for Thaw declared they would
make no such move
Thaw, when he had returned to the
Tombs, gave out the following state
ment:
Il believe that every man In the
Jury possessing average intelligence,
excepting possibly Mr.. Bolton, com
pretended the weight of evidence and
balanced it for acquittal All my fam.

life and beyond that, for his activi
ties carried him into the leading cit

once the despair and the admiration
of those who were thrown into con
