bate. in fact. scarcely any. IL was
touched upon and quickly dropped.
The question which was considered at
unusual length was whether Thaw was

lions"

Mr. Fecke said 1T was after Mr..

ters that the latter decided that there
was a reasonable doubt as to Thaw's
sanity. Dennee then joined the four
men who stood for acquital on the
grounds of insanity"
Mrs. William Thaw, mother Of the
prisoner. sent out the following mes
sage In response to the requests for a
statement: Mrs. Thaw has nothing to
say. She has made no statement since
she has been in New York; neither
will she make any"
Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw said Il
can't understand II. ] don't see why
they couldn't come to an agreement"
A reporter said to YRS. Thaw: The
Jury stood seven to fire for cOnyic-
ton"
Il don't believe IT," she cried en-
phatically. They ought to have ac-
quilted him on the evidence.
When the disagreement of the jury
was announced in court Thaw turned
even paler than he has been for the
past several days and when he was
remanded back to the city prison at
the suggestion Of District Attorney Je-
rome he hung his head deiectedly
I'd to the very last Thaw had hoped
that the II men would firmly agree
upon a verdict OF not guilty.
When the foreman OF the jury an
nounced that they could not agree on
a verdict, Mrs. Evelyn Thaw reached
up and grasped her husbands hand.
Thaw sat down Imply beside her. She
whispered comforting words In his ear
and told him she believed from what
counsel had said that there was a good
chance OF his being liberated on bail.
Justice Fitzgerald, turning TO the
jurors. said:
Gentlemen OF the jury have
deemed il my duty to keep you here as
long as there was possibility OF your
reaching a verdict. | have arrived at
the conclusion that 1t will be impos-
sibe for you to do so. have consulted
with counsel for the defendant and the
learned district attorney. and am go
ing to discharge YOU from further con-
sideration OF the case, the public pros
ecutor and counsel for the defendant
consenting to such discharge"
Justice Fitzgerald called upon Cliff
ford IIartridge, of Thaw's counsel. TO
arise and formally enter their con.
sent.
Then Mr.. Jerome spoke: Il will
ask" he said, that the defendant be
remanded in custody as before
"The de PENDANT will be so remand
cd" ordered Justice Fitzgerald. and
Thaw arose and made his way out OF
the court room.

OUR PRESTIGE SUFFERS
London Papers Say Thaw Case Shows
Our Defective Legal System.

Our Defective Legal System.
London. April 13.-The conduct OF
the trial Of Harry X. Thaw for the
murder of Stanford White, as com
pared with the rapldity and exactness
Of English justice. as illustrated In the
case OF Rayner, the murderer OF Will
liam whitley. form the basis of the
comment in the newspapers. All the
papers publish long editorial articles
on the Thaw case, and most OF them
review the various stages OF the trial.
II Is declared that American prestige
has suffered severely. and the case Is
called a signal proof OF the utter In
efficacy OF American craftsmanship TO
evolve a practical legal system"
One paper says: Law. dignity, COM
mon sense and order. all have been
wanting" while other declares: "A
strong English judge would have made
short work OF the trial. reducing to a
minimum its degrading sensation
alism."
Surprise is expressed that Justice
Fitzgerald did not dominate the pro
ceedings. as would an English Judge,
and prevent the defense from getting
up gush and greasy sentiment about a
girl wife" and the prosecution from
such a fragrant abuse OF justice by
the questions Mr.. Jerome was allowed
10 nut TO Thaw's wife. The methods or
counsel generally are condemned.
The editorial articles practically ig-
more the tremendous interest this trial
awakened in England. A majority OF
the newspapers here have devoted
much space to pictures and news OF
and the comment on the trial. breaking
the record in this respect OF all other
foreign criminal cases.

he. too. believed their task was hope
less. Thaw was remanded To the
Tombs without bail to await a second
trial on the charge of having murdered
Stanford White, the noted architect.
When this new trial would take
place no one connected with the case
could express an opinion. District Al
torney Jerome declared that there
we're many other persons accused OF
homicide awaiting trial. and that Thaw
would have to take his turn with the
rest AS to a possible change OF venue
both the district attorney and counsel
for Thaw declared they would make
no such move. Thaw's attorneys will
have a conference with the prisoner
10 decide upon their next step. They
NAV make an early application for
bail. Mr.. Jerome said he would strenu
ously oppose IT, He added that the be
lief as seven of the jurors had voted
for guilty" his opposition probably
would be successful. In that event
Thaw has another long summer before
him in the city prison. for his case on
the already crowded criminal calendar
cannot possibly be reached until some
time next fall
The scenes attending the announce
ment by the jury of its inability to
agree upon any sort of verdict were
robbed of any theatricalism by the
general belief that after their long de
liberation and the reports of a wide
division of sentiment, the jurors could
have no other report than one OF dis
agreement.
Thaw, surrounded by the members
of his family - the devoted aged
mother. the pale young wife. the titled
sister. Countess of Yarmouth; Mrs.
George Carnegie and Edwar1 and Jo-
siah Thaw, the brothers-receiyed the
news In absolute silence.
Called Evelyn to His Side.
When it became known that the
fury was about to make its report and
that the case would be disposed of,
Thaw called his wife to a seat by his
side and sat with his right arm thrown
about her until he was commanded to
stand up and face the jurors. Smiling
and confident as he entered the court
room, he sank Imply into his chair
when Foreman Deming b. Smith, in
response to a question by Clerk Penny
as to whether a verdict had been
agreed upon, said: 1--WE have not"

she had felt severely the strain and
stress of the long hours of anxious
waiting. The wife, by her husbands
side, gripped his hand tightly as the
Jury foreman spoke, and then, when he
sunk down by her side, she tried to
cheer him as best she could by saying
that she believed he would now be adj
mitted 10 bail and that a 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,
smiled wanly at Thaw as he was led
away again to the TOmbs. They were
permitted to speak with him for few
