BITTER Al.TERCATlONS
Man Who Stuck From the First For Conviction of Murder in the First Degree.--Talk of Change of
 Lawyers.

New York, April 13.-Absolute in'
 action ensued in the Thaw case to'
 day, following the intense strain and
 feyerish interest of the many weeks
 that the trial has been under way.
 None of the lawyers interested ill the
 proceedings was at his office during
 the early hours of the morning. all or
 them having been completely exhaust
 ed by the long wait for the jury to
 bring in it's report There was some
 confusion also, to-day as to just what
 attorneys will do the talking for the
 Thaw side in the future.
 Harry Thaw spent restless night
 in the tombs, but according to the at
 tendants, slept three or four hours III
 the course of the night. He was up
 early and after breakfast spent con
 siderable time looking through the
 newspapers.
 The reporters were on hand early
 and sent up note after note to nm
 only to receive the reply that he had
 "nothing to say just at this time.' To
 the question from one of the newspa-
 permen asking what lawyers 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 moth CT and wife are expected at the tombs during the day.
 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 a second trial can hardly be reached before October or November and It will be urged that it will be a great hardship to keep Thaw in pIls- on during the months of waiting when his family stands ready to fur nish surety in ample sum to insure his presence whenever the second trial Is to be called If this applica- ti0n is made, however. 1t will be strongly opposed by Mir Jerome. who holds that the prisoners wealth should make no difference in the treatment to he accorded him and that he should remain In the tombs just as any other person would be obliged to do The district attorney feels that he would not be warranted, as public officer, in taking any more lenient attitude in view of the fact that seven men voted for conviction of murder in the first degree. That seven men. of what is generally re- garded as very high class jury look cd upon Thaw as sane and believed that his act was one of deliberation and reconciliation. in spite of the testimony of the experts. Mir Jerome takes as practically a victory for the prosecution and as holding him strictly to the duty of pressing again for conviction of murder in the first degree. Mir Jerome also will op- pose any motion by the defense for the removal of the case to another country.
 Various rumors were in circulation last night and today that there was to he a new alignment of counsel for Thaw and that there might be a re- engagement of former Judge w. w. K. Olcott who was originally retain cd and who withdrew rather than agree to submit any defense except that of insanity. Dolphin M. Delmas,
  drawn from the case or had been su- perceded. He was the first caller Thaw had at the tombs today T want to say to the newspapers" said be. that I am still Harry Thaw's counsel am going to sec him now and may have statement to make later"
 Mr Delmas declined to say whether Thaw had summoned him or If he had come at the request of Mrs William Thaw.
 "You will have to restrain your- | selves" said Mr Delmas when pressed | as to the reports that another firm of | lawyers was to be retained.
 X unique feature of the case and | one which has caused considerable discussion in legal circles today, is the publication of signed article by | one of the jurors giving complete story of the deliberation in the jury room. This Is said to be the first time such thing has ever occurred in this jurisdiction. As rule the juries in great criminal eases have considered their deliberations as se- cret and confidential. The story written by one of the jurors throws some interesting sidelights on the jury room procedure According to this account when they retired after the judges charge they gathered sIout the big table in the center of The room and engaged in prayer With the foreman in the chair parliament ary rules were then adopted and these were adhered to throughout. The dis was largely in the nature of formal debate and each speake- af- ler securing recognition. was permit led to proceed with his remarks uifh- put Interruption
