Await New Trial.
After Long and Sensational Trial Of

Jurymen Favored Conviction,
While Five Were for
Acquittal.

seven for verdict of guilty of muir

| acquittal on the ground of insanity
the jury which since January 20 last
had been trying Harry X. Thaw report
ed on Friday, after forty-seven hours
and eight minutes of deliberation,
that it could not possibly agree on a
verdict. The twelve men were
promptly discharged by Justice Fitz-
gerald, who declared that he. too, be-
lieved their task was hopeless. Thaw
was remanded to the Tombs without
bail to await second trial on the
charge Of having murdered Stanford
White.
When this new trial would take
place no one connected with the case
could express an opinion. District
Attorney Jerome declared there were
many other persons accused of homi-
eide awaiting trial, and Thaw would
have to take his turn with the rest.
AS to a possible change of venue,
both the district attorney and coun-
sci for Thaw declared they would
make no such move.
Thaw, when he had returned to the
Tombs, gave out the following state
ment:
Il believe that every man in the
jury possessing average intelligence,
excepting possibly Mr. Bolton, COM
pretended the weight of evidence and
balanced 1t for acquittal. All my fam
lily bid me goodbye with courage. I
trust we may all keep we'll"
To his attorneys, Thaw said he was
deeply disappointed.

example, In mural painting and sculp-
ture-such as no other man in his day
had done in America. He was one
of the best known men in metropolitan
life and beyond that, for his activi-
ties carried him into the leading cit

friends and acquaintances by the hun.

once the despair and the admiration
of those who were thrown into con

Evelyn Hopes for Bail.

Thaw was beside her husband when
the jury reported disagreement.
The wife gripped her husbands hand
tightly as the jury foreman spoke,
and then when he sank down by her
side she tried to cheer him as best
she could by saying that she be-
lieved he would now be admitted to
bail and that second jury would
surely set him free. The mother,
the sisters and the brothers, pale and
well nigh exhausted by their tedious,
nerve-racking wait for verdict, were
permitted to speak with Thaw for a
few moments to bid him be of good
cheer, before he crossed the bridge

few minutes before he had hoped that
he was about to quit forever.
