The Thaw Trial.

New York, March 26.-With the
trial of Harry K. Thaw for the killing
OF Stanford White. now in Its tenth
week, and with the jurors for over six
weeks being allowed to sepsrste With no
suspicion Of attempts being made to in
fiuence their verdict, there Is q posi-
bility today of mistrial resulting be-
cause of the remark attributed to one OF
the Jurors declaring that not one Of the
panel has any doubt but Thaw Is sane
today.
When District Attorney Jerme today
received the report that one OF the jurors
had made such remark to number Of
friends in the progress Of card game
In the Sycamore Club In west One Hun
dred and Twenty fifth street, he at once
instituted an investigation. II he Is con-
WINGED there was any serious violation Of
Justice Fitzgerald's oft repeated instruc'
tions to the jury not to discuss The case
while out OF court OF even to talk about
it among themselves, it Is reported he
will move, even at this late day, for the
dismi.sal of the jury and insist that the
case shall be tried over, II the insanity
proceedings now pending do not end the
hearing through The sending of Thaw to
Mattea1an.
According to the story told, the re-
mark was made whilethe juror was play
ing pinochls last Saturday night. Dur
Ing the game the Thaw trial came up
casually for discussion. One player
said to the juror: IL suppose you are
tired Of your job?"
"Yes, am tired OF IT," vas the re-
ply. al will be glad when the whole
thing Is over. | have not been able to
do any business since that trial began. z"

asked another club member. "a CON-
mission 10 lunacy may be appointed now,
1t seems, which would take the matter
of your hands,"
81 don't think 60. There Is no man
on the jury who does not think Thaw Is
sane ct present."
LUG JuAOA huCu WOW WI W obaeO Nh"s
during the trial Ths1 has been carefully
watched and studied by the juror. This
study o: the defendant has led 10 the
conclusion as to his present sanity. No
hint was given by the juror as to the
view the jurors might hold on the all
important point Of Thsw's mental con-
dtion at the time Of the killing.
1t /, pointed out that the juror quoted
could not have learned the opinion Of
bis fellows unless Thaw's condition has
been discussed by them. This Ia 10 d.
rect violation Of the judges instructions.
That the juror should have told how the
Jury stands il an even more serious yio-
lstion OF instructions. II the remark
can be traced home to 3 particular juror
sud proof given Justice Fitzgerald thai
he really said the words attributed tC
him, it is believed the Judge Will order
the Jurors dismissed without further
question.

The Tell Tale Voice.

"Tf you want to tell whether or not
the man you are talking to is telling
the truth don't look him in the eyes"
said a Denver bank teller to some
friends 1T is the voice when you
don't look at the eyes, that tells you
whether the other fellow is lying. We
use the system frequently in the bank.
A man will come in to tell US some
business tale. We look at his feet or
his hands or his knees, but never in
his eyes, If he's telling the truth his
voice will be firm and straightforward,
and the absence of your gaze in his
eyes will not affect it. But If he's
lying he'll be confused by your ac-
ton and his voice will tremble; he'll
hem and haw, and clear his throat.
You may rest assured then that he's
stringiug you"
