The Likelihood of a Verdict Is Yei Anticipated But No Word oi How the Twelve Men Stand Has
 Yet Leaked Out.

 after ii o'clock last night indicated that he would not be at the criminal courts building until 1O:3O a. m. It was generally believed that if the fury had reached verdict during the night and he had been so informed, he would have made an earlier trip down town. It was said he had re- ceived no summons this morning.
 If the jury should come into court to-day and report their disagreement there is little doubt but that Justice Fitzgerald will send the F men back to their cheerless room tc continue their deliberations.
 On the other hand, he may be con vinced that if the jury was unable to reach conclusion after last nights long session the matter is hopeless and realizing the hardships through which the jurors already have gone, he may decide to release them from further consideration of the case be- fore the day is done and declare mistrial
 In that event Thaw would be re- manded to the tombs to await sec ond trial. whici, could not take place until late in the coming fall.
 When the newspaper men called at the tombs this morning and sent message to Harry Thaw's cell asking how he felt. he said he was still con fident and hopeful of favorable cut come. IL was said Thaw had a good nights rest after returning to his cell shortly before midnight.
 This morning the guards at the tombs said Thaw was packing up his effects. ready to' leave the prison at a moments notice should the hoped for acquIttal become a fact.
 1t was 9t2 o'clock when the jury returned to determine at courts build ing after breakfast. The meal seem cd to have cheered the jurors up for they were apparently in much better spirits than when they went out at. [ o'clock. They were laughing and talking among themselves and seemed to have thrown off the depression of the earlier hours. The twelve men went at once to the jury room where they spent the night and again took up their deliberations.
 Members of the T'haw family began t0 arrive at the criminal courts build ing shortly after 10 o'clock. In one automobile were Mrs William Thaw. the countess of Yarmouth. Mrs George l.. Carnegie and Edward Thaw. They went at once to the witness room. ad- Joining Justice Fitzgerald's chambers. The judge had not arrived when they reached the building but he came in . few minutes later.
 When Justice Fitzgerald went to his chambers the court officers told him no word had come from the jury room. The Jurors had not then asked for any of the exhibits.
 Evelyn Nesbit Thaw made her ap- pearance at the court house within 15 minutes after the other members of the family had arrived. Through the heavy black veil she wore it could be plainly seen she was unusually pale. She walked slowly as though much fatigued.
 Thaw Makes Statement.
 After reading the newspapers. and just before coming over to the court. Harry Thaw sent a note to the news paper men. Thaw said there were co many misstatements in the papers that he would like to give out one that would he ofYicial. The state ment follows:
 'rI am told that it is impossible to tell what any jury will do. SO 1 am attending to my ordinary affairs, but preparing for the best. as 1t is sim pier to unpack my things if neces- sary than it would be to return here for them if the verdict is favorable.
 ''I had very good cold bath. The bath room always is filled with fresh air in the early mornings. The same temperafure as out doors. Next I had weak coffee and rolls. as usual. These details must have interest plus as they are often mistold.
