his summing up for the people. For 2

over the evidence and prepared him

there is but little doubt. The case
he Is about to close. Is the longest ev-
or tried in New York and no other tri-
al In American criminal history has
attained the prominence that has been
given 10 this.
Mr.. Jerome will go before the jury
In an effort TO have inflicted upon
Harry Thaw the extreme penalty OF
the law. He has believed Thaw TO be
insane, but the commission legally ap-
pointed by the court under the law
has held that he was legally sane and
IL he Ia sane now, Mr. Jerome VIII ar

shots point blank into the body OF
Stanford White on the Madison
Square Roof Garden. on the night OF

the model young man who In burst
Of sane rage, believing himself TO be-
the agent Of providence. to put out OF
the world a man he believed was a
menace to society and who, he be-
lieved, had ruined the woman who af-
terward became Thaw's wife. Mr.. Je-
rome viii contend that Thaw's act
was premeditated murder and that 1t
was prompted lby more than jealousy.

ENGINE AND CARS IN RIVER
Passenger Coaches Stayed On Track
--latest Reports Say All OF injured
VIII Recover--Passengers Were Sha-
ken Up, Bruised And Cut A Little.

LA GRANDE, April 1o.-Four per-
sons were killed, four seriously injur-
ed and several silgntly hurt. today
When the o. r. & n, westbound,
through passenger train was wrecked
IA miles from here early today.
The train which was travelling about
fourteen miles an nour, struch the
bridge. which had been undermined by
the recent rains, at Cayuse. The en-
gine passed ova7 safely. but the bag
gage and mail cars following. sank
through and dragged engine after them
ani are now In the tImatilla River.
The list of dead and injured is as
follows:
Dead: Marvyn Thompson, logger;
Mike Dunno, logger; George McPart-
ridge, fireman; unknown Greek labor
er. The two loggers were riding on
the blind baggage.
Injured: Engineer Fred G. Schilke,
leg broken, internal injuries; James P,
Graham, mail-clerk arm broken; L.
w. Owen, mail-clerk, hand cut and
body injured; unknown Chinaman,
face crushed and hip broken.
None of the passenger coaches left
the track but the passengers were all
hurled from their seats. several sus-
taining painful bruises and cuts.
The injured were taken to Portland
on a special train, where they arrived
this afternoon Tonight it was stated
that all Of the injured will recover.
Passengers dragged the river for the
body Of Fireman McFatridge, but were
not successful in locating It.
How Engineer Schilke was injured
is not known, though 1t is supposed he
ieaped IRON the cab when the track
gave way, and that falling debris was
responsible for his injuries. Two
Italian passengers we're first reported
killed, but later adNces were to the
effect that they were among the slight
ly injured. The smoker was filled
with number of laborers and others
who could not get Accommodations In
the day coaches, owing to the heavy
travel from the East.
Officials of the line are in a quandry
as to the reason for the track being
undermined, for It has not rained dur
Ing the past day or two, and no rise
in the Umatilla was reported by agents
alon gthe line. II rained heavily
about the first of the week. and it is
the suppositicn that the water seeped
from he high land and broke through
beneath the ballast. thereby causing

NEW YORK April i0.--charged
with the responsibility OF deciding the
fate of Harry X. Thaw. the jury. which
since January 2Srd. has been sitting
In judgement on the young slayer Of
Stanford white. retired at SIT y. m.
today, to being consideration OF their
verdict. Six hours later they had
failed TO reach an agreement and short
ly after II p. m. they were locked up
for tho night In the jury room Of the
Scrminal Courts Building. Justice
Fitzgerald. who had been waiting for
some word from the jury room. became
convinced at that hour. that the chan
ces OF receiving a verdict, tonight,
were too remote. to warrant his re-
naming up any later. Justice Fftz-
zerald had earlier In the evening gone
to his club and held an auto In readl-
ness to make quick trip to tne court
house, should he be needed. His In
structions regarding the locking up Of
the jury were telepaoned.
II was said that when Justice Fitz-
gerald's message was received at the
courthouse the officer on duty there,
put the matter up to the Jurors them
selves, asking II theie was any possI-
bility OF verdict within the next few
hours.
The reply was strongly In the mega
tive. TIE jury was said to be almost
hopelessly divided and nobody con-
nected with the case tonighS would
venture hope of anything better than
disagreement as the climax of the
long drawn out trial.
Harry Tnaw sat in the prisoners
pen, adjoining the deserted court
room, during the long hours Of the
jury's deliberations. BY his side, was
his wife and his counsel. who remained
with MIN until all hope of verdict
tonight was abandoned. During the
early evening all of the Thaw family
were with the prisoner but before ten
o'clock, they made tkeir way up town
to their hotel.
Thaw, who was much depressed at
the close OF District Attorney Jerome's
impassioned attack on him as a "cow-
ardly, brutal, muderel, q rich illterate
who. always had, had nls own way,
until he fell into the clutches OF the
law" He revived in spirits as the ev-
enlng wore on and the chances of an
unfavorable verdict seemed to him to
become more and more remote He
was reluctant to wend his way back,
over the dimly lighted Bridge Of signs,
to his cell In the Tombs, to say good
night to his wife.
A disagreement Of the jury is pos
sible outcome which Thaw has not at
any time anticipated, during the pro-
gress of the trial. His family and
counsel were much alarmed tais ar
ternoon, however, lest the jury under
Justice Fitxgeralds charge, might find
! verdict Of some less crime than
murder in tho first degree. The pris-
'ner, tonight did not share this gloomy
outlook and laughed and 1oked to dis
