New York. April f3.=Absoiute lnaction ensued in the ThaW case today, following the intense strain and feverish interest of many weeks that the trial was under way. None ol the lawyers in the procecdncs were at their offices during the early hours of thc morning, all of them being completely exhausted by the long wait for the jury to bring Ill the report. There was con- fusion also as to just what attor- neys will do the talking for Thaw side in the future
 Harry Thaw spent restless night ino the Tombs, but according
 to attendants, slept three or four
 hours in the course of the night.
 He was up early and after breakfast, spent considerable time looking through the papers Reporters were on hand early and sent up Q
 note to him. only to receive a reply that he had nothing to say just at this time. In answer to a uu,s- tion from the newspaper men, ask ing what lawyer they should see about the information regardin" the second trial, he replied that he did
 not "are to say until he bad con- sultel With his family. His mothes. and wife were expected at the Tombs during the day. The first quest; ;on tc he decided by the Thaw side $ that of applying for re- lease Of tha defendant on bail D's- trict .,tt0irey Jerome has said second trial can hardly be expected before October or November. and it will be urged that ii will be great hardship to keep Thaw in prison during the months of waiting when the family stands ready to furnish surety in ample sum to insure his presence whenever the second trial is to be called. If this application is made, however, it will be strong ly opposed by Jerome, who holds the prisoners wealth should make no difference in the treatment to he accorded him, and that he should remain in the Tombs just as any other person would he obliged to do. The district attorney feels he would not be warranted. as a public officer. in taking any more lenient an attitude in view of the fact that seven men voted for conviction of murder in the first degree, and that seven of what is generally re- garded as very highclass jury looked on Thaw as sane and believe that his act was one of deliberatiOn and reconciliation in spite of the testimony of experts. Jerome takes this as holding him strictly to the duty of pressing again for cOnyic- tion of murder in the first degree. Nr. Jerome also will oppose any motion by the defense for a remov- al of the case to another county. Various rumors were in circulation last night and today that there is to be a new alignment of counsel for Thaw and that there might be reengagement of former Judge w. K. Olcott, who was originally retained, and who withdrew rather than agree to submit to any defense except that of insanity. Dolphin M. Delmas, however. has denied that he has withdrawn from the case or been superseded. He was the first caller Thaw had at the Tombs to- day. "I want to say to the news paper men," said he, "that am still Harry Thaw's counsel. I am going to see him now and I may have a statement to make later.''
 Delmas declined to say whether Thaw had summoned him or if he had come at the request of Mrs. William Thaw.
