New York. Feb. 16. The trial OF
Harry X. Thaw will be resumed before
Justice Fitzgerald Monday morning at
1880 o'clock. Funeral services were

readiness to resume his place in the
Thaw panel Mr.. Bolton feels that Il
is conscientious duty for him to hear
the case to the end. If he had
dropped out it would have meant the
loss of many thousands of dollars to
the state and to the Thaw family. A
misuial would have been declared,
and four weeks of the courts time
would have been wasted.
