Associated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, April 13.-Absolute in
action in the Thaw case today, follow
ing the intense strain and feverish in
terest of many weeks that the trial
was under way. None of the lawyers
in the proceedings was at his office
during the early hours of the morn
ing, all of them having been complete
ly exhausted by the long wait for the
jury to bring in it's report. There was
some confusion also, today, as to Just
what the attorneys will do, talking
for the Thaw side, in future.
Harry Thaw, spent a restless night
tendants, slept three or four hours in
early and after breakfast spent con-
siderable time looking through news
papers Reporters were on hand early
aud sent up u noss'to M INN, only to re-
ceive the reply that he had nothing
to say just at this time"
The first question to be decided by
the Thaw side is that of applying for
release of the defendant on bail. Dis
trict Attorney Jerome has said that
the second trial can hardly be reached
before October or November, and that
he will oppose an application for bail,
as he regards it only right that Thaw
should be treated as any other pris-
oner similarly. charged.
A Strange Letter.
A letter written by Howard Nesbit,
brother of Mrs. Evelyn Thaw, to Har-
ry Thaw, was made public today, it Is
said, by some of the Thaw counsel.
In 1t the young man wrote that when
White was shot, he thought it would

memory to me was SO precious" !"
When District Attorney Jerome took
his statement, Howard Nesbit wrote:
II told him what Florence told me,
or at least was supposed to have told
me. l will put it more strongly and
say she never told me anything against
you that would tend to hurt you in
any way. l lied, thinking 1t would
help the man thought was so good" !"
AS to his subsequent attitude toward
his sister and Thaw, he wrote:
after Florence told her story on
the stand, believe me, was with her
from that time on. heart and soul.
never intended to say one word
against her, and If put on the stand, I
would have forgotten everything I
knew; would have perjured myself
out and out, syou wish to call it per-
jury.
81 am not, and was not afraid Of
Jerome. Another thing wish you to
bear in mind, and that is that I was
influenced by artful and designing
persons who urged me on to take the
stand that 1 did,
Jurors Nearly Fought.
One of the jurors is quoted as say
ing that when the jury was return
ing to the criminal court building af-
ter breakfast Thursday, policeman
approached them and spoke to three
of the jurors.
II thought l would let you know
confidentially," the policeman is al
legged to have said. that the defend
ants father was a member of a GER
tain secret order. 1 understand that
YOU are members of it."

first open break among the twelve
men who had Thaw's fate in their
