a sing liar dearth of Tumors about how the
jury stood. Nobody seemed to have he
nerve 10 hazard guess. but all agreed
that the jurors had tough job on their
hands
At Ii O'Clock there was n stir at the back
of the court room a. Court Captain Lynch
and his assistants prepared for tho entrance
of the Jury \ moment later they filed in

SAT NJ al night They looked it. The
MARKS cr WEAKNESS and anxiety and sleep
leSsrcss were all over them. But they
didn't look like men who were ready to quit
They looked like men Who knew he gravity
Of their task and who wc"" determined
TO discharge it properly ii there was any
way of doing il.
Justice EtlGerad came in a moment

Clerk Penney advance to The rail and said
in quite the manner he might Use in asking
for glass Of water.
Harry Il rhaw to the bar
There WIS a brief delay, then the pen
door opened and Thaw came in ahead Of a
prison keeper As usual, he carried his
overcoat slung over his arm and under
the other arm he had a big bunch Of news
papers All the members Of the Ihaw
family party were already in their places,
but Thaw did not look at them as Inc passed
close by them. waiting for that until he
rea ched his chair. He seemed nervous.
but il was plain that both he and his reN-
atives had been informed that the jury
had not come into court to announce any
verdict Considering what an anxious
night he must have spent, the defendant
looked well But his hands shook ~ he
raised them TO his forehead. and 1t was
seen N he same time that those hands
were as white as paper
Thaw's relatives had been in the building
an hour or 40. before the jury came in.
They all bore themselves in the same i'm
passive manner. Grave they we're. but
none Of them appeared TO be in the least
excited EVELYN Thaw herself looked as
if she had passed n wretched night She
was paler than usual. and her eyes looked
as il she might have been weeping.
District Attorney Jerome and Assistant
District Attorney Garvan were in their
usual pla cas as were also all OF the prisoner 9
counsel
Jury wanted Several Exhibits.
AS soon as the jurors had answered 10
their names, Justice FitzGerald consulted
a memorandum, and said that the jury
had informed him that they wished 20
have the will and codicil OF Thaw, together
with the letter he wrote TO Anthony Com
stock and the various letters be wrote to
Lawyer Longtellow and others, all Of
which were read al the trial. The jury
further desired to inspect the District
Attorneys diagram Of the roof OF Mad-
son Square Garden and to have read TO
them the testimony OF certain witnesses.
Neither the pro scout ion nor the defence
had any objection to make TO the grant
ing Of these requests.
I'VE do not need to have the originals OF
these various documents your Honor"
said Foreman Smith, provided We can
have copies that are faithful
Typewrtten copies were duly produced
il being conceded that these would perhaps
he better on account OF the illegihility of
Thaw's handwriting Then Foreman Smith
spoke TO Court Captain Lynch. chief OF the
squad that guards the jury, and he Whispered
something in Justice FitzGerald's ear.
The Judge at once said that he was informed
that the jury wished to have the testimony
of Never Cohen read to their.
Cohen was one Of the prosecutions wit
nesses who described the shooting Of White
by Thaw.
/ is there any Objection?" asked the Court.
I Thaw turned 10 Mr.. Delmas. who was
sitting close by him and whispered ner-
} vouslv: 1--WE no objection certainly not
! l. The ha Mhia-
/ perei the same thing to Lawyer Peabody,
who sat ON the other side of him. Lawyer
: O'Reilly had already told the Court that
! there was no objection to having the testi-
/ mony read to the jury. II was accordingly
read bv Mr. Moynihan, the court stenog-
/ rapher. Mr. Moynhan possesses a voice
invaluable for this particular purpose. It's
what the music critics would call a strong
! clear organ, and if it lacks sympathetic
/ quality all the better for the purposes OF
/ justice.
! Thaw Gets busy Waking Stateme nts.
While the reading was going on ThaV
! borrowed a pencil from Lawyer Peabody
/ and scribbled this sentence on a piece ol
/ paper, which he had Lawyer O'Reilly pass
! around among the reporters.
| "I wish they had Sxty-four other letter.
/ Of the deceased
! This evidently referred 10 the Letter
| from Stanford White 20 some person hC
addressed as May dear" a letter which
was printed yesterday at the instance
| of the Thaw counsel. Mr.. jerome having
! in his address 70 the jury made point o.
! the fact that the defence had not read tC
the Jury any OF the White letters in their
| possession. Later on the defendant gave
| out this written statement:
Il am told il is impossible to tell Wha
any jury will do. 80 am attending to my
ordinary affairs but preparing for the
best as it is simpler to unpack my thingi
| if necessary than il would be to return
here for them II the verdict is favorable.
Il had a very good cold bath. The bath
