New York, April 12.-Scven for
tnurdcr in the first degree and five for
acuuittal on HE ground OF insanity.
The jury which since the 2Srd OF
It January. had been trying Harry
h.cntEan T1iaN. reported disagreement
TO-DAY. after fOrty-scycn hours and
eight minutes Of dcliberatiOn that 1t
could not possibly agree pon IL YER
,iict. The twelve me were promptly
Discharged by Justice Fitzgerald, who
declared thai he, too, believed their
task Nas hopeless. Thaw was re-
handed to the Tombs without bail TO
await a sccond trial on the charge of
having murdered Stanford White. In"
noted architect.
When this new trial would take
rlacc no one connected with the case
could tonight express an opinion. Dis
trict Attorney Jerome declared that
there were many other persons
accused of homicide awaiting trial
and ThaW would have to TAX his turn
with Inc rest. AS to 4 possible
change Of venu, both the district at
torney and counsel for ThaW declared
they would make no such move.
Thaw's attorneys will have q confer
encc tomorrow with the prisoner to
decide upon their next step. They
may make an early application for
bail. Mr.. Jerome said he would
s~trenuously oppose it. He added the
belief that as seven of the jurors
had voted for guilty his objection
probably would be successful. In
hat 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.
