excitement prevailed about the court
house this morning when 1t became
known that the lanacy commission
was closeted with Justice Fitzgerald
since tt O'Clock, and that the com.

had been unable to reach a decision.
Hope was written on the faces OF

Thaw and Countess Yarmouth, when
they arrived in the court room. Thaw's
lawyers were also early arrivals, ex.

dragged along with no word from the
commissioners, they showed nervous.
ness. Thaw in the ante room was Wis.
IDLY worried, not knowing the reason
for the long delay. The Thaw jury
came into court at eleyen.thirty and
. was Immediately excused until two
o'clock this afternoon, owing to the
fact that the insanity commission had
not yet completed It's report.
