by Wait for Report of Jury-Pris-

Wife Pale and Worn. n r.
New York, April 15.-Absolute mac.
ton so far as any court proceedings
we're concerned, ensued in the Harry
X. Thaw case Saturday, following the
intense strain and feverish interest of
many weeks that the trial was under
way to disagreement of the jury.
None of the lawyers Of the proceed
ings was in his Office during the
early hours of the morning, all of
them having been completely exhaust
ed by the long wait for the jury to
bring in it's report. There was some
confusion also as to just what attor-
neys will do the talking for the Thaw
side in the future.
| Thaw Has Restless Night.
Harry Thaw passed restless night
in the Tombs, but, according to the
attendants, slept three or four hours
in the course of the night He was
up early and, after breakfast, passed
considerable time looking through
the newspapers. ~.
The reporters were on hand early,
and sent up note to him, only to re-
ceive the reply that he had nothing
to say just at this time" -
TO question from one of the news
paper men, asking what lawyer they
should see to obtain information re-
garding a second trial, he replied that
he did not care to say until he had
consulted with his family. His
mother and wife are expected at the
tombs during the day.
Fight Over Bail Certain.
The first question to be decided by
the Thaw side is that of applying for
the release of the defendant on bail
District Attorney Jerome has said
that second trial can hardly be
and it will be urged that it will be a
great hardship to keep Thaw in prison
during the months of waiting, when
| his family stands ready to furnish
surety in ample sum to insure his
presence whenever the second trial
is to be called.
If this application is made, however.
it will be strongly opposed by Mr.. Jer-
ONE, who holds that the prisoners
wealth should make no difference with
the treatment to be accorded him,
and that he should remain in the
Tombs just as any other person would
be obliged to do
To Again Press for Murder.
The district attorney feels that he
would not be warranted, as "a public
officer, in taking any more lenient at,
titude, in view of the fact that seven
men voted for conviction of murder
in the first degree. That seven men
OF what is generally regarded as a
high-class jury, looked upon Thaw as
sane, and believed that his act was
one of deliberation and generalization,
in spite Of the testimony of the ex-
perts, Mr. Jerome takes as holding
him strictly to the duty of pressing
again for a conviction of murder in
the first degree. Mr.. Jerome also will
oppose any motion by the defense for
the removal Of the case to another
county.
DeInas Calls on Thaw.
Various rumOrs were in circulation
that there was to be new alignment
of counsel for Thaw, and that there
might be a reengagement of former
Judge w. H. K. Olcott, who was orig
inally retained and who withdrew
rather than agree to submit to any
defense except that Of insanity. Del
phin NJ. Delmas, however, denied that
he had withdrawn from the case or
had been superseded. He was the
first caller Thaw had at the Tombs
Saturday.
Il want to say to the newspaper
men, said he, that I am still Harry
ThaW's counsel. l am going to see
him now, and may have statement
to make later"
NIL DelnaS decllned to say Wheth-
err Thaw summoned him or if he had
come at the request of Mrs. William
Thaw.
Evelyn Thaw Pale and Worn.
Mrs. Evelyn Thaw reached the
Tombs while Lawyer Delmas was
there in consultation with her hus-
band. The three talked together for
more than half an hour, and then Del
mas left the building. A crowd of
newspaper men who had been waiting
in the corridor pressed around the at
torney as he passed through the hall,
but he stopped only a moment.
. "Yeu may quote me to the effect
that everything is in statu quo" he
said to his questioners. Asked if
they might expect formal statement
of any kind from him later in the
day, he replied that he would have
nothing more to say.
Mrs. Thaw looked pale and worn.
She said she intended to remain with
