'THAW JURY DISAGREED;
CALLS FOR EVIDENCE
Alter Deliberating All Night, Jurymen Ask
For Reading Of Much Of Testimony
introduced at the Trial

had somewhat revived. When the jury
men filed into court at II, the strain
under which they had labored was
plainly written upon their faces. Their
eyes were red, cheeks chalky white,
and the whole effect was one of hag-
gardness. 1t was evident that sleep
had been a stranger to their consuita-
tion room last night. Jurors Pink ana
fered in the long vigil. During the long
time which it required the court stem
ographer to read the testimony they de-
sired. the jurymen lounged back In their
chairs and appeared to keep awake
only with the greatest effort
When Thaw was called to the BAR he
entered the doom with quick stride
and bright eyes, carrying half dozen
morning papers. His manner and ap-
pearance bore out the statements of
his counsel earlier in the day that he
was apparently in better shape physi-
cally that any other person connected
with the long and tedious trial.
New York, April 11.-After what is
believed TO have been a fruitless night
of discussion and balloting, the Thaw
jury was liberated from the confer
ence room at o'clock this morning
and taken out to breakfast. Many of
the jurors showed plainly the strain
they had been subjected to in their pale
faces and reddened eyes. The jury re-
turned to the court building at 9
O'clock and appeared in much better
spirits.
Thaw had d good nights rest after
returning to his cell shortly before mid
night. He told the newspaper men this
morning he was confident and hopeful
of favorable outcome. The guards
al, the Tomb: said Thaw was packing
up his effects ready to leave the prison
in few moments should he be ac-
quilted.
Members ef the Thaw family began
to arrive at the court building shortly
after 10. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw wore a
heavy black veil but it could be plainly
seen she was unusually pale. She
walked as tho much fatigued. Justice
Fitzgerald arrived at 1921 a. m. The
court room doors were not opened and
the general public was not admitted
At 1O:30 all newspaper men were called
into the court room. Soon afterward
one of Jerome's assistants carried the
exhibits in The case into the room, AT
10:45 the jury sent for the exhibits.
The district attorneys messenger de-
livered to the officer in charge of jury
all the exhibits in the district attor-
ney's possession. including the large
photographer Evelyn Nesbit, which
she identified as having been taken
thesday shs. said White outraged her.
At 10:59 the judge took the bench
and the jury called into the court room.
A minute later, an officer was sent to
the tombs to bring Thaw to the court
room. Tie jury asked the Judge to
give them six exhibits in the case, in
Guiding plan of the roof garden. The
jury asked Judge Fitzgerald to be al
lowed to examine the following ex-
hibits: Elan of Madison Square roof
garden, the letters of Thaw to Attorney
Longfellow, Thaw will and codicil,
ll6 SOH1SlOCk lelleI, DcllIldSs uy pOluel-
ical question and Jeromes hypothetical
question.
The jury also asked to have the tes-
timony or the following witnesses who
testified for the people, read to them,
which request was granted by Fitzger-
aid: Meyer Cohen. Harry S. Blaise, an
eye witness to the tragedy; Paul
Brudy, the fireman who disarmed
Thaw; Gordon Paxton. engineer of the
roof garden; and James Clinch Smith
brother law of White.
Juror Pink Ill.,
As the jury's asked for the reading
of the testimony Of various witnesses
it seemed there could no longer be any
doubt but that the rational or irration=
al conduct of Thaw on the night OF
the homicide was playing a leading
part in the deliberation of the jurors.
Juror Pink, who undoubtedly was in
very bad shape, delayed the reading OF
the testimony to the jury by asking
permission to retire for a few minutes
He tottered from the room accompan-
4 led by an officer, and seemed near
collapse After an absence of five
minutes he resumed his place in the
jury box, looking very pale and tired
