THE THAW CASE ENDS
IN DISAGREEMENT - SEVEN TO
FIVE FOR GUILTY.
RELEASE OF PRISONER ON BAIL
viii Be StrenuousIy Opposed BY Js-
rome-Neither Side Favors
Change Of Venue.

New York, April 13.-Hopelessly di.
vided, seven for a verdict of guilty
Of murder In the first degree and five
for acquittal on the ground of insanity,
the jury which, since January % has
been trying Harry h. Thaw, reported,
after AZ hours and eight minutes OF
deliberation, that 1t could not possibly
agree.
The IL men were promptly dis
charged by Justice Fitzgerald, who
declared that he, too, believed their
task hopeless.
Thaw was remanded TO the Tombs
without bail to await second trial
on the charge Of having murdered
Stanford White, the architect
When this new trial will take place
no one connected with the case could
express an opinion.
District Attorney Jerome declared
that there were many other persons
accused Of homicide awaiting trial
and that Thaw would have to take his
turn.
AS to a possible change Of venue,
Dotu Iuc uiSlllII dJlolhCy anu NSuhoSi
for Thaw declared they would make no
such move
Thaw's attorneys will have a con-
ference with the prisoner to decide
upon their next step.
They may make an early application
for bail.
Mr.. Jerome said that he will siren
uously oppose 1t. He added the be-
lief that As seven Of the jurors had
voted for guilty" his opposition proba-
bly, would be successful.
In that event Thaw has another
long summer before him in the city
prteon, for his case ON the already
crowded criminal calendar can not
possibly be reached until fall.
The scenes attending the announce
ment by the Jury Of It's inability to
agree were robbed Of heatricalism by
the genral belief that after their long
deliberation and the reports of a wide
division Of sentiment, the jurors could
make no other report.
