 Thursday Morning.

New York, April Lit is proba- ble tbat on Thursday morning the lunacy commission will report its findings in the case of Harry K. Thaw. When the jury was called before Justice Fitzgerald to-day ad- journment was taken until Thurs day morning. Should the commis- sion find that Thaw is legally insane the trial will be stopped, but if the reverse judgment is given the trial will go on at once. When Mrs Thaw made her daily visit to the Tombs this morning to see her husband she was served with subpoena to ap- pear before the lunacy commission tomorrow. She appeared very much disturbed. The members of the jury have petitioned Justice Fitzgerald to allow them $5 day instead of $2.
 It was reported to-day that when the lunacy commission renews the hearing tomorrow, District Attorney Jerome will call Doctors Pilgrim ard Gregory, two of the alienists engaged by the defense, in an endeavOr to show that Thaw is now insane
 The announcement was made to- day by counsel for the prisoner that the Thaw side rests, so far as further testimony by their service is con cerned before the lunacy commission. The defense believes this will help to bring this particular hearing to close by Tuesday night, so that the trial, delayed for more than week by the movement to determine Thaw's sanity at the present time, can be immediately resumed. The defense assumes, of course, that the commission will find that Tbaw is now sane. In fact they are supreme ly confident of such an outcome, bas- showing that Thaw Is said to have made when questioned by the com missioners.
 District Attorney Jerome does not share the opinion of the defense that the commission will conclude it's hear ing on Tuesday. He said the defense was assuming too much. and express ed the belief that several days would elapse before the commission report ed. Mir Jerome believes that the com mission will hear his alienists and he hopes besides. that the testimony of Dr Allan McLane Hamilton will be admitted.
 There is no doubt that the hearing will be prolonged if the states alien ists are allowed to testify as fully as Mir Jerome wishes them to do. but the defense's lawyers believes that they will only be permitted to tell what they think of Thaw's present condi- ton. and facts of the distant past. on which most of their conclusions are based. will be eliminated.
 Daniel O'Reilly. who since the com mission was appointed has taken an active part in the defense with Cliff ford w. Hartrldge made the annunce- ment that Thaw will stand on his tes- tlmony before the commission and that counsel will call no witnesses. He said:
 "The defense will offer no more witnesses. We will not call any alien ists. although we know that NIT Je- rome has the promise of the com mission to hear what his experts have to say on the writings of Thaw. on the evidence as adduced at the trial and on the observations they have made during the trial.'
 Mir OReiliy expressed the opinion that pr Hamilton would not he al- lowdd to testify and he added that he hoped inst the whole matter would be ended Tuesday night.
 T do not see why it should not bc. he concluded.
