Thaw spent restless night In his
cell in the Tombs but according to
his attendants slept three or four
hours. He was up early and spent
considerable time looking through the
newspapers. To the reporters who
sent up notes he replied that he had
nothing to say just at this time
Will Apply for Bail.
The first question to be decided by
the Thaw counsel is that of applying
for bail. 1t is known that District At
torney Jerome will strongly oppose
admitting Thaw to bail, holding that
he should be treated like any other
person in similar circumstances.
No Change in Counsel Vet.
TO various rumors that there will
be new alignment of counsel for
Thaw, Attorney Delmas said that he
had not withdrawn from the case or
been superseded. He was the first
caller that Thaw had today. He re-
fused to say whether Thaw sum
moned him or if he had called at the
request of Mrs. William Thaw.
Thaw Bitterly Disappointed.
Although bitterly disappointed over
the mistrial In his case and especial
ly since he believed up to the last min
ute that he would be acquitted Thaw
is bearing up bravely.
How He Received Verdict.
So certain was he of his freedom
that shortly before the jury came In
for the last time, he wrapped up a
number of letters and papers which
he meant to take with him and when
he was told by Messrs. Peabody and
O'Rielly, of his counsel, that the jury
could not agree, he dropped the pa.
pers to the floor speechless and dis.
heartened, but presently he recovered
his courage.
Chance in Counsel ikeIv
1t is persistently rumored that ow.
ing to various disagreeme that all
of Thaw's present counsel, except pos.
sibly Daniel O'Reilly, will be dis.
missed. 1t Is also reported that the
Thaw family may go back to their
original counsel, the firm of Black,
Olcott. Gruber and Bonynge.

Estimates made of the total cost OF
the trial places it at about 100000
OF which 100000 falls on the Thaws
Unnatural Brothers Letter.
The letter written by Howard Mes

was made public today by some OF
Thaw's counsel, it is said In it the
young man wrote that when White
was shot he thought it would be heroic
to stand by man whose memory
was so precious to him.
Sought to Protect White.
When District Attorney Jerome took
his statement, Howard Nesbit wrote:
Il told him what Florence told me
or at least what she was supposed to
have told me. | will put it more
strongly and will say that she never
told me anything against you that
would tend to hurt you in any way
lied, thinking it would help the mar
thought was so good"
Influenced by Designing Persons.
AS to his subsequent attitude to
wards his sister and Thaw, Nesbit
wrote that after Evelyn told her story
on the witness stand that he was with
her from that time forward and he
adds that he had been influenced by
designing persons and says:
II believe you were right and justi
fled in doing what you did and yor
are now my friend more than her.
Asked Evelyn for Money.

he was sorry and asked her for $10(
to pay some debts which he had con

write home for money and says he ha
felt like ending 1t all"
