New York, April l2.--After being
out thirty-eight hours, the twelve
men in whose hands rests the fate
Of Harry X. Thaw, went to breakfast
shortly after O'Clock this morning.
In spite of the long confinement the
jurors showed little evidence of the
strain they had been under. They re-
turned to the court building at 8
o'clock and resumed their delibera-
lions.
The feeling that the jury never will
reach an agreement is growing
stronger every hour the jury remains
out. Justice Fitzgerald announced
when he went home at 1l:40 last
night that he would not return until
1880 this morning unless sent for.
The jurors early today did not give
any sign of wanting him.
Statement for Publication.
ThaW this morning, through his at
torneys, gave out the following state
ment. Il wish the jury and everyone
else 10 understand that no one de-
Splses the person who carries con-
cealed weapons any more than I do.
II was only after my life had been
put in jeopardy, as l was informed
by several persons, and as was com
munlcated TO me by professional de-
tecuyes, did l protect myself. Then
l employed Pinkertons and they
could never prove these attempts so
l could invoke protection OF the law,
or disproye them, so / could safely
continue defenseleSs. Then, doubling
my judgment l consulted an ex-chief
OF poIce-a man respected in his
community-and he advised that my
duty was TO protect myself
In this trial | wish my case solely
and simply based upon the law OF
the state and upon the evidence
which had convinced not only me. as
a.n III
the district attorney that | am inno-
cent under the written law of the
state"
Must Eat Though Not Agreeing.
Up to noon no word had been re-
ceived from the jury. At 1880 the
Jury sent word to Captain Lynch that
they desired their luncheon ordered.
II will be served from a nearby res
taurant and i'm the jury room. This
indicates that the jury is no nearer
a verdict than at any time since their
deliberations began. At 1880 Justice
Fitzgerald ordered a recess until 2 D.
m. He has not yet indicated how
much longer he will hold the jury.
Jury Tries Hard to Agree.
Apparently as far away from a YER
dict as when they retired at 5:17 last
Wednesday evening, the Thaw jury
continued today the task of trying 10
reach some sort of agreement No
word whatever had come from the
Jury room up 10 1880, when Justice
Fitzgerald ordered recess until 2
o'clock this afternoon.
The Thaw jury is breaking all rec
rrds by its efforts TO agree on one of
he four yerdicts outlined by Fitz-
GERALD The most remarkable fea-
.ure Of the long consideration is the
not that not once during the forty
.Hree hours which have elapsed up TO
noon today, has the jury suggested
nat Il could not agree g.. thus as.

Mob in Streets Fought to-
Hear Findings of the
Twelve Men.
OUTCOME OF TRIAL
WAS NO SURPRISE.
Jurymen Worn Out by Forty Eight
Hours OF Constant
Strain.

New York April 12.-t:25 p m.--
The jury In the Thaw case reported
that il was unable to agree and was
discharged by Justice Fitzgerald. The
final vote, according to the meagrc
reports Obtainable by the Associated
Press at this hour. was seven for
murder in the first degree and five
for acquittal.
The little court chamber was pack
ed to snffOcation, but as the report of
the jury was made, the stiffness was
dcathlike.
Harry Thaw was visibly affected
when the news was communicated to
him. He gave evidence of the great
strain under which he has been Ia
boring, and all but collapsed. He
later expressed surprise that he did
not receive an acquittal.
L: is believed that the masterful
manner iR which Jerome summed up
the case was responsible for the fail
urc of the jury TO agree.
The action of the jury was not un-
expected, since il has been evident
Tor the past twenty-fOur hours that
the Jurymen were no nearer an agree
ment than the day the case was
placed in their hands.
The jurymen were almost worn out,
having been under a constant strain
for nearly forty-eight hours.
When the news that the jury was
about 10 report reached the street,
where several thousand people were
massed, n hush fell almost instantly.
\ low murmur ran through the
crowd and the people surged toward
the court room. Ii was all that the
policemen stationed about the build
ing could do to hold back the mob
that pressed about them. Then the
news of the disagreement of the jury
was reported. 1t was received with
cheers. misses and the widest con-
fusion

TRY TO KILL CABRERA.
President of Guatemala Narrowly
 Escapes Death.

GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala, May 1.-Presidcnt Estrada Cabrera of Guatemala narrowly escaped assassi- nation here when part of Seventh ave- nue was blown up as he passed in his carriage.
 He left his private residence at 7:30 for his customary drive, accompanied by his staff. On arriving in front of Eome houses on Seventh avenue, be- tween Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets. an explosion, at first supposed to have been caused by bomb, oc- cured. killing the horses attached to the presidential carriage, wounding the coachman and injuring several stan officers, including General 0rellana, the chief of staff.
 The president. who was not injured, displayed great presence of mind. Allghting from the carriage, he in- spected the surroundings and then re- turned on foot to his residence.
 An examination of the scene of the outrage showed that the explosion had not been caused by bomb, but by a mine. The conspirators dug a tunnel from one of the houses on Seventh avenue rented by man named Rafael Rodil, placed explosives under the roadway and connected them by a wire with a battery in Rodirs house and from there caused the explosion.
 Many suspects have been arrested. but 1t is not known whether the would be assassins have been taken into GUS tody.

SCULPTURE OF THE INDIAN.
Only TMse Specimens of Los Rock
 Carving Have Been Found.

One of the three known examples in the United States of the famous In- dian sculpture" on two of the i'm mense rocks which form the great falls" of the Connecticut river at Bel lows fal.A has been entirely obliterat- ed, not a trace of the marking which recorded some important event in the history of the aborigines being left. says the Boston Herald. The sculp- ture was a favorite subject of discus sion for antiquarians and developed much controversy as to the manner and time in which 1t was made. When first discovered 1t consisted of group of IS or IS variously ornamented heads plainly cut into the rocks. The main piece of work was shown on a fiat space about 15 feet wide and six feet high and consisted of four heads. each surmounted with pair of rays and numerous heads without any dec oration. On the other rock was one large head with at least eight rays. this head being IA inches across at the forehead. There may have been originally also an inscription, but if so 1t had become obliterated by the action of the water years ago. The markings were supposed to have rep resented a victory at or near Bellows falls by four bands and their chiefs under one principal chief. The fact that the action of the water has re- moved what was discovered on the rocks 100 years or so ago indicates to not . few that much more of the record must have disappeared pre- viousiv
