Death Hats the Trial.
New York, Feb. 15.-Owing to the
death of the wife of Joseph H. Bolton,
one of the Jurors, the trial of Harry K.
Thaw was Thursday afternoon post
poned until next Monday morning.
Mrs. Bolton had been i'll for several
days with double pneumonia. Her
husband, juror No. II, who had been
locked up with the II other jurors for
more than three weeks. was allowed
to visit his home twice Wednesday
and again early Thursday. He was ac-
companied on each occasion by two
other jurymen and two court officers.
Mr. Bolton was in his place in the
jury box when court convened in the
irn I,,+
: Wife's condition was so critical that
he might be called away at any mo-
ment. The session had been in prog
ress less than Is minutes with Dr. B.
d. Evans, the alienist, continuing his
direct testimony, when the summons
n to the juror came. His home is far
up in the Bronx, and when Mr. Bolton
got there he found his wife all but
dead. She had been kept alive by
oxygen until he arrived, but expired
within an hour after he reached her
bedside.
Other Jurors Released.
1t was agreed on motion of District
Attorney Jerome, ThaW's attorney con-
curing, that the other II jurors in the
case should not be kept under lock
and key longer, but should be allowed
to return to their homes, pending the
resumption of the trial Monday.
Mr.. Jerome, in moving for the ad.
journment, declared that to keep the
other jurymen away from their homes
during the delay would be more of
hardship than had been contemplated
when the rule of the beginning of the
trial was invoked. He said it was
with the consent of the defendants
counsel that he asked that they be al
!. lowed to return to their home life
Mr.. Hartridge formally entered the
consent of the defense.
Justice Fitzgerald then addressed
the jurors, explaining to them that
!, the rule keeping them together had
not been adopted with the idea of
casting the slightest reflection upon
them in any way
Asks Jurors Not to Read Papers,
"The action was not taken,' he con-
tinued, upon the seperate recon-
mendation of either side, but upon the
agreement of both sides, and for reas-
ons which appeared to be sufficient
and excellent alike to the interests
to the defense and the people. It
would have been we'll if the rule could
have been adhered to until the end
of the trial, but this unfortunate oc-
currence has prevented it. You will
be allowed to return to your homes
now; but let me appeal to your honor
not to read any newspaper stories of
the case; not to speak to anyone
about the case, and not allow anyone
to speak to you. I trust you may not
be submitted to any annoyance. Guide
yourselves according to- the dictates
= OF your honor and your oaths You
