Justice Fitzgerald left the court house

jury started for the Broadway Cen

their long confinement they looked
fresh and were laughing and talking
together when they left the building.
Juror Pink, who was i'll during the

Don't Know How Jury Stands.
There are all sorts OF rumors and

None of the reports had an de.

NEW YORK, April 11.-At Il
O'Clock the jury In the Thaw case
had not reported an agreement and
II was said In the court room that no
verdict was in sight.
Twice during the day the Jury came
into court to ask for certain exhibits
and the reading of portions of the
testimony and extracts of Justice
Fitzgerald's charge. One of these re-
quests related to the testimony of
Drs, Evans and Wagner. Justice
Fitzgerald said these men were com.
petent to give testimony as to Thaw s
mental condition because of their per-
sonal examinations.
Foreman Smith started in to dis
cuss certain other phases of the
charge with Justice Fitzgerald but
was stopped short. II can't discuss
the matter with you. Be careful
about that Mr. Foreman" exclaimed
the Judge.
Foreman Smith wrote note and
: passed it UP to Justice Fitzgerald
who then directed that that portion OF
his charge relating to the hypotheti-
cal questions put to the experts for
both the prosecution and the defense
be read.
The charge stated that the jurors
were not bound to accept nor allowed
10 accept opinions based on hypoth-
ottcal questions as they would acce

court declared, it is always of first

believe now that that is all. gen.
tlemen," said Justice Fitzgerald.
No sir" interposed Foreman
smith, there was one more request.
That request said Justice FitZ-
gerald. "is that certain portions @;
the summing up address by Mr.. Del.
mas shall be read to you. I canno.
grant 1t. 1t is not evidence and you
must remember that you can have
nothing but the evidence given 70
you"
The jury then retired again and
continued deliberations.
The second request for information
from the jury was taken as positive
Indication that verdict, If rendered,
Will be based on the sanity or IN
sanity of the defendant and that the
nnwritten law will have no part in
it. Tho request for the reading of
portion of Mr.. Delmas' speech, was
taken as favorable indication for
the defense. despite the fact that Jus
tice Fitzgerald would not allow the
request.
Soon after tho jury retired EVELYN
Thaw, accompanied by Mr.. O'Reilly.
OF Thaw's counsel, left the court
house for lunch. The crowd in the
street was SO anxious to get a close
look at her that she was almost
swept off her feet and Mr.. O'Reilly
was forced to fight way through the
crowd for her.

Local TOnsOFiaIIsts Make Horrible

mate and Much Hated Device.

a has the safety razor" Is running
neck and neck with the slogan "Rause
nit EN-" for position. top Of column,
next to reading matter. as the war cry
Of the journeymen BARRIERS union OF
America.
The whole trouble originated with the
convention Of the master BARRIERS. now
on in New York, and it was the near
unanimous opinion Of the members as
sembled. that he who shaves himself
must trim his own hair.
DO we approve-wen. I guess" said
a member OF the Washington union yes
terday afternoon.
81 don't know what a oss means, ex-
actly but so far as ''Rause nit EN-" is
concerned, that's us every turn of the
wheel
Gee! a man that shaves himself must
have a stinky disposition 10 hate 10 give
the money TO a barber. II he shaves
himself. he sure ought 10 do his own
scalpin and if the master BARRIERS say
the word, I'll refuse an offer to cut the
hair OF a man whose face looks like he
had been IN close communion with a meat
axe.
ANY time you see a face that looks
like a relief map Of Casa Blanca. you can
bet the owner was too stingy 70 sep
arate himself from the price Of a shave,
and We BARRIERS must 1--we, you know"
Summed up. il seems that in the future
when Washington takes its head to a
barber shop. K must provide a clean bill
Of health for its face. II the barber asks
where the slashes came from. and Wash
ington cannot prove they were trade
marks from a fellow-craftsman. the artist
Of the cutlass viii kindly, but firmly. in
vite evacuation. and Washington will go
home TO try its luck with the lawn mower
As usual, John D. Rockefeller VIII get
the best Of such a move, because he
hasn't any hair to need trimming and.
anyhow, his shears are said to have be-
come dulled from long clipping Of
coupons
According to the local members of the
union that organization IS opposed TO the
safety razor principally because It be-
longs to no union, and everybody knows
well-regulated safety razor can't talk:
so what's the use?
As one member here put Il yesterday:
Safety Tazors are all right in their place.
but the place is not where most OF them
are kent. They belong TO an age to come,
when boards begin to appear on the faces
of women. because we'll all be dead then
and won't have to make living for the
rest Of the family.
As an afterthought, however. he solilo-
quized thusly: Well, there are women
BARRIERS now, to shave men, so why not
women BARRIERS to shave women"
This particular member Of the trade be-
lieves the only way 10 eliminate the
safety razor is TO convince the owners
that the visit to the barber is a daily
necessity, and not a monthly convenience.
