Second Trial Of I haw
Not Until November
DeImas VIII Remain in Charges Of
the Case and jerome Will OPP
pose Bail for Thaw.
rRy Associated Press

NEW YORK, April 1S-Absolute
inaction ensured in the Harry X
Thaw case today. None of the law
yers in the proceedings was at his
Office during the early hours of the
morning, all having been completely
exhausted by the long wait for the
jury to bring in its report
There is some confusion also as to
just what the attorneys will do in
talking for each side in the future
Harry Thaw spent restless night
in the Tombs hut he slept three or
four hours.
To the question this morning as
to what lawyers should be seen 10
obtain information regarding the
second trial, Thaw replied that he
did not care to say until he consult
ed with his family. His mother ana
wife are expected at the Tomhs dur
Ing the day.
Dolphin NJ. Delmas. however. stat
ed that he had not withdrawn rrou
the case or would he be superseded
He was the first caller Thaw had al
the Tombs today.
The first question that will be de.
cided by the Thaw side is that OF
applying for the release of the de-
fendant on bail.
District Attorney Jerome says a
second trial can hardly be reached
before October or November In
the meantime he will strongly op-
pose any application for the release
OF the prisoner on bail. Jerome
will also oppose any motion by the
defense for a removal of the case to
another county.
A letter written by Howard Neshit.
brother of Mrs. Evelyn Thaw to
Harry Thaw was made public today
1t is said by some of Thaw's counsel |
that in it the young man wrote Thaw
when Stanford White was shor that
he thought 1t heroic stand ~ the
man whose memory to me is 50 prec-
ious."
When District Attorney Jerome
took his statement. Howard Nesbit
wrote that he told untruths when he
said his sister told him things AGAINST
Thaw. He said his sister never told
him anything against Thaw He lied
TO help man he though vas so
good. After Florence told her story
on the stand he wrote thar he with
her heart should rather have pictured
himself than say anything against
Thaw on the stand.
Howard Nesbit declared h. wrote
TO Evelyn that he was sorry and ask
her for 500. She answered that she
did not have any money He then
asked Thaw for this sum
Mrs. Evelyn Thaw reached the
Tombs while Lawyer Delmas was
there in consultation with her hus-
band. The three talked together for
more than half an hour IN reply to
a reporters questions as he left the
building, Delmas said Everything
is in statu quo" Mrs Thaw looked
very pale and worn.
The application for bail viii be
based on the division of ,he iury.
which stood seven for conviction and
five for acquittal.
