Will Attack Two-Cent Fare.
.cial Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
LINCOLN, Neb., April 11.-That the Ne
braska railroads intend to attack the two
cent fare law in Nebraska seems apparent
from the annual report of the Nebraska
lines of Great Northern railroad, which has
just been filed with the state board Of
equalization and which shows loss of
s., 565 mile over the 100 miles of road. 1t
has leaked from railroad circles that the
fight would be made with that road on a
basis, and if the railroads can show that
the two-cent law cannot be put in effect on
the Great Northern without practical con-
fiscation the law will be declared by the
courts void for all roads.

DEFENDANT IS VERY CHEERFUL
Jury.

After celebrating for many hours
without being able to reach an
agreement, the jury into whose
hands the tate OF Harry X. lhaw
was given at SLY O'Clock yesterday
afternoon reported before Justice
Fitzgerald at II am. today. and
asked permission to examine large
number OF the exhibits introduced
during the trial. and also asked to
have read to it the testimony OF
several OF the eyewitness to the
tragedy. The reading OF this evil
dence took several hours.
The strain under which the jurors
had labored since their retirement
Yesterday afternoon was plainly
written upon their faces. Their eyes
were red. their cheeks Chalky
white. and the whole effect one OF
hapcardness. 1t was evident that
sleep had been a stranger to their
consultation room last night. Jurors
Pink and Steele seemed especially
to have suffered in the long vigil.
During the long time it required the
court stcnographer to read the testi-
monv they desired the jurymen
loungcd back in their chairs and ap-
pcarcd to keep awake only with the
greatest effort.
When Harry Thaw was called to
the bar he entered the room with a
quick stride and bright eyes, and
carving half a dozen morning news
papers. His manner and appearance
bore out the statements OF his cOun-
sci earlier in the day that he appar-
emily was in better shape physically
than any other person connected
with the long and tedious trial.
The jury retired again to resume
its deliberations at l 80 pm, after
having listened to the reading OF
testimony for two hours and half.

Had a Hard Night.

One thing, however, was apparent when
the jurors left the room at O'Clock this
morning and went to the Broadway Central
for breakfast. The jury ha,. had a hard
night of it. Some of the jurors looked as if
they might have slept little and others Is
if they had had no sleep at all and lot of
| worrying during the night hours. This was
| said TO indicate that one or two of the
| jurors were hanging out against the others.
Usually when this happens in the case of
| a jury the majority divides itself into shifts.
| some O whom argue With the men who dis
agree while the others sleep. This, it was
said, would account for the fact that some
of the twel men looked more tired than
others.
At $40 o'clock the jury finished breakfast
and walked back from the Broadway Cen
trail to the criminal courts building. escort
ed by the officers sworn in especially for
that purpose. 1t came down to Lafay-
cite street, crossed through to the criminal
courts building and went directly back to
thu jury room. The jurors were apparently
in a happy mood, for they laughed and
chatted together as they walked down in
the sunshine.
There were those who took this as an
omen that they had reached an agreement.
The only incident that happened on the way
was when a newsboy held up paper with
disagreement" smeared all over its first
page for them to see. Capt. Lynch pushed
the how out of the way, but did not arrest
him.

Thaw prepared statement this morning
to be given to the public. He wrote it HIM

Deputy Warden John Hanley, with in
structions that it might be copied, but
should not leave Mr.. Hanley's hands. The
exact wording of the statement was as fol-
lows: Il am told it is impossible to tell
what any jury will do. SO 1 am attending
to my ordinary affairs, but preparing for
the best, as it is simpler to unpack my
things, if necessary, than it would be to re-
turn here for them if the verdict is favor

While the testimony as to the events on
the garden roof was being read Thaw's
eyes wandered to the faces of the jury as
II he were trying to read their minds.
The jurors never glanced at him. Most

to the reading. They were much more

box.

When Justice Fitzgerald made It known
that the jury wanted to hear the testi-
mony of James Barrett, doorman in the
West 3Oth street police station, about
Thaw's hearing voices of girls while he
was in his cell in the station house after
the shooting, Thaw leaned far forward
and became more interested than ever.
