 MT. o'Reilly. of Thaws counsel. to- night said:
 T confess that am disappointed. I really expected an acquittal. Perhaps now. in view of the disagreement, Mir. |. Delmas made a mistake in using tho term dementia Americana but he made an honest effort and 1t might have been s mistake of judgment"
 Attorney Gleason said:
 The disagreement of the jury was disappointing, of course. The insist ence upon the 'unwritten law charac- terized as 'dementia Americana was unfortunate. If. instead of this, coun- sel had dwelt upon the statutory insan !. fty of Thaw. which was plainly proven Thaw might have been acquitted"
 Mrs. William Thaw, mother of tho prisoner, sent out the following mes. sage in response to requests made for statement tonight:
 Mrs. Thaw has nothing to say. She has made no statement since she has been fin New York; neither will she make any"
 Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit rhaw said:
 T can't understand it. I don't see why they could not have come to some agl ment.'
 A reporter said to Mrs Thaw:

 T don't believe it." she cried emphat- ically They ought to have acquitted him on the evidence"
