New York. Feb. Special -
The wife of Juror Bolton whose ILL

morning so that the juror might visit

result the famous case may be

Juror Bolton was back in his seat

Last night his wife became worse and
it was seen that she was rapidly sink
ing. He was allowed to 70 TO her
bedside and this morning about ten
o'clock she passed away.
On the reconvening of court this

Death Puts End
To Thaw Trial
Thaw Acted Like Madman When He
Learned That Owing to Death of
Jurors Wife That Court Had
Adjourned and the Jury
Was Dismissed.

New York, Feb. 14.-(Special.)- y
When il became known TO Harry
Thaw, that the wife of Juror Bolton
was dead and that the trial would
necessarily have 10 be postponed, he
began acting like madman. There
was no putting on about his acting,
1t was real and that of genuine
maniac.
1t is said that Thaw has brooded
over the insanity plea so long, when
he wanted the defense to be that of
the ''unwritten law and self defense
that it has really changed him into
almost raving maniac. He resisted
his keepers in the Tombs prison.
The court convened at two o'clock
this afternoon and Judge Fitzgerald
adjourned the trial Monday. He also
excused the other eleven jurors, be-
side Bolton and this presumes al
most that there will be new trial,
although such an announcement has
not been made.

ated by several other survivors. When
1t is considered that 20 per cent of
the ships crew were saved while less
than per cent of the passengers
were saved 1t looks as IL the boys
story is true.
1t is declared that women fell on
their knees before the men and pray
cd them to help them to safety but
they were brushed aside and the 10
known survivors of the i'll fated
steamer only one or two of whom are
women.
Captain McVey makes a complete
denial.
1t is positively known that 1913 liv-
es were lost and nearly one hundred
people are still missing. Seventy-one
bodies have been recovered.
Harry HALEY. a member of the
crew of the schooner. Knowlton

for aid but that the strange boat sud
