.M|STR|AL ORDERED IN IHAW CASE,
AFTER BEING OUT OVER Al HOURS JURY
ANNOUNCED INABILITY TO AGREE.

New York, April 12.-The Thaw iury
reported failure to agree to verdict at
4,S0 this afternoon, having been out
forty-seven hours and eight minutes, and
Justice Fitzgerald then discharged them.
After Foreman Smith announced the
result Thaw turned pale and when re-
manded to prison under the formal sug-
gestion of District Attorney Jerome, his
head hung dejeotedly.
His wife, who sat beside him as the
jury reported, and all other members of
the family in court showed little emo
tion.
Jerome believes new trial will not be
reached before autumn, remarking that
several others are awaiting trial for
murder.
Juror Ping confirmed the report that
the jury was divided seven for murder in
the first degree and five for acquittal.
He stated that the deliberations of the
jury were amicable and that there was
no ill feeling or any harsh language used.
District Attorney Jerome is reported
to have said that he would oppose mo-
tion for change of venue for Thaw's
second trial and that in the event a
change was granted to some other iuris-
diction that the trial might be reached
before fall.
Eight ballots were taken. The first
was eight for murder in the first degree
and four for acquittal, on the ground of
insanity. One of the eight later Joined
the other four. In spirit of compro-
mise seven first degree jurors gave one
ballot for manslanghter in the first de-
gree, but, proving ineffective with others,
returned to original position.
The subject Of wronged womanhood
was but slightly considered. Whether
or not Thaw was insane at the moment
he shot White received paramount con.
sideration. Many stormy arguments
occurred in the jury room according to
juror Harvey, and charges of breaking
faith with orders of the court were made,
but at no time did Foreman Smith lose
control of the situation.
