TO-DAY WITH
THAW JURY
NrW YnR1l 49, hi

NEW YORK. April is.
When the jurors. pale and haggard.
filed out Of the Criminal Courts build
ing to breakfast after O'Clock to-day,
after having been shut up for SS hour s
in celebrating, there was no indica-
ton Of a verdict.
The jurors debated until early this
morning before the lights in the jury
room were turned OUT. The impress
sion in the morning about the court
house is that there can be but one OUT
come-a disagreement
Some of the jurors were still arguing
with each other as they entered the
courtroom. The door had not closed
behind them after their exit before the
argument was on with renewed earn
estness. Up to the hour % being lock-
ed up at 1i.4O last night not a word Of
complaint had come from one OF the
Jurors, nor had a man shown a dis
position TO abandon the task Of trying
to reach a verdict. Justice Fitsgerald's
messenger. who inquired IL there was
a possibility of a verdict within an
hour. carried back simple negative
answer.
Guesses on How They Stand
All kinds Of rumors as to how the
jury stands were ahoat last night ana
quickly renewed to-day They varied
from a report that they stood n for
conviction OF a minor degree crime TO
one for acquittal to the rumor that
nine were standing out for acquittal
and three for a manslaughter decree.
AS all approach TO the juryrOom was
barred. however, no one Offering the
rumors could furnish a good basis for
It,
Thaw passed another comparatively
sleepiess night IN the Tombs. He read
a book for two hours after the jury was
locked up. When urged by the jail
keepers to retire he did so. but ne
tossed and tumbled on his bed. He
was up shortly after daylight to-day.
His relatives. confined almost as
closely in the Lorraine Hotel as he is in
the Tombs. Jared little better. Evelyi,
Thaw has scarcely closed her eyes
since the case went to the Jury.
The jury returned to the Criminal
Courts building at 9.15, and at once re-
sumed the consideration Of the ver-
dict
Mob Storms Thaw Party
The police were forced to beat back wo-
men. children and men in a tremendous
mob that blocked White street, Centre

wagons. carriages and blocked street cars
and from these points OF vantage waved
their hats and oheered frantically as a

turned upon the crowd and the men and

effort to show how they had acted before
the little automobile carrying Evelyn dis
appeared.
Justice Fitzgerald was also given rous
ling cheer as he left the court house for
lunch. The members OF the mob both wo
men and men seemed to have lost their ap
potites. and stayed thronged in the streets
about the court house awaiting the op'
lportunity to repeat the scene upon the re-
turn OF the Thaw party.
Jerome Would Retry the Case
