Return to Court This Morning
After All Night Session
Charge of Judge Fitzgerald To Jury
Weakens Position of Defense
In Case.
INSANITY PLEA GETS BLOW

New York, April 11l-Justice FYtz-
gerald arrived at the court house at
1921 o'clock. Mrs. William Thaw,
Evelyn Thaw, the Countess of var
mouth, Mrs George Carnegie. and
Edward Thaw arrived earlier and
were ushered into Justice Fitzgerald's
chamber to await the report of the
Jury. A feverish crowd gathered
about the court building early and
was increasing momentarilly. Police
had It well in hand Every precau-
ton was taken to prevent demon
Istration. Saloons IN the vicinity of
the court house were packed and. did
ia land Office business.
The jury entered the court room
when Judge Fitzgerald assembled the
bench. Attorneys for the defense
were sent for, Jerome being in the
court room. The jury requested six
exhibits used in the trial, namely:
Plans of the Madison Square roof
garden, Longfellow letters, Thaw's
viii and codicil, Comstock letters
and Jerome and Delmas hypothetical
questions.
The jury had read to them the
testimony of Myra Cohen, a witness
for the state who testified to hearing
shooting. and as to Thaw's changing
his course while leaving the roof gar
den. so as to walk past White. The
testimony of Paul Brady, a fireman
Who took the revolver away from
Thaw, was also read to the jury.
Upon request of the jury a vast
amount of testimony was read by the
clerk OF the court. This consisted OF
the Longfellow letters, Thaw's will
and codicil the Comstocl1 letters and
the hypothetical questions. When
these were read statements of other
witnesses were read, including that
Of Cinch Smith, brother-in-,aw of
White, with whom Thaw
talked just before firing the fatal
shots
While some OF his own letters were
being read to the jury, Thaw handed
a note to the reporters, which read:
wish they had GA other original
letters deceased"
Hope of a verdict increased this
afternoon and the impression early
this morning that an agreement is
impossible diminished hourly as the
men who will decide the fate OF
Thaw requested additional light on
the case.
After hearing the review of evil
dence, including that of Evelyn for
two hours and half, the jury retired
to its room at 1880 o'clock for lunch-
con and further balloting.
The attorneys for the defense be-
lieve the nature Of the jurors In
quiry indicated doubt in their
minds as to Thaw's sanity. Jerome
the questioning as indi.
eating they are unable to determine
the degree of murder.
The general opinion is the verdict
of some sort will be returned today
Evelyn Thaw was almost mobbed by
the crowd outside the court room al
she left to go to lunch with Attorney
O'Reilly.

JUDGE TRULY TO BECOME CAPT.
tai CITY RESIDENT.
Has the Natter Under Consideration
and It Is Believed That He VIII
Locate There Jan. I for Practice
Of His Profession.

Daily News Special.
Jackson, September cit is proba-
BILE that Judge Jeff Truly, formerly Of
the supreme bench, and recently a
candidate for Governor, will remove
from his home at Fayette to jackson
and actively take up the practice of
his profession in this city.
Judge Truly has the matter under
serious consideration, and it is ex-
pected that he will change his place
OF residence about the first Of the new
year. He will be valuable addition
to the ranks of the legal profession
In Jackson, for 1t is universally con-
coded among members of the Missis-
sippi bar that no man ever occupied a
seat on the supreme bench who filled
the place with more credit and dis
tinguished ability than the. gentleman
from Jefferson.
Judge Truly has been very busily
engaged with business. and personal
matters since the recent election. Dur
ing the past three weeks he has been
almost constantly at the bedside of
his son, Emerett Truly, who was
seized with an attack of appendicitis,
and is now convalescent in the Tou-
70 infirmary at New Orleans.
Regarding future political plans, and
the probability of making another race
for governor four years hence, Judge
Truly says "Never again. which may
be taken to mean that he is out of
politics for good, and will in the future
devote his time strictly to his pro
fession.
