Jury Has Case Since
Wednesday Evening

The testimony of other witnesses,
among them other eye witnesses to
the tragedy were also read to the
jury at their request.
1T is conjectured that the jury in
asking for the
Testimony of Eye Witnesses
was that they wanted to fix in its
mind either the question of delibera-
tIen and premeditation on Thaw's
part or else the nationality or IRA
tionality of his acts.
Wide Difference of Views.
From the time the jurors looked
into the consulting room at 1900
otlock last night until they went to
breakfast this morning they argued
increasingly among themselves.
A few ballots taken indicate, ii is
said, there is wide difference Of
views.
Thaw faced his judges with every
Indication of confidence. He of all
the members of his counsel and
family is hopeful of favorable out
come. The hest his counsel expect
ed was a disagreement of the jury.
The action of the jury today in call
ing for the testimony did not inspire
his attorneys to any new hope.
AT 1:15 o'clock this afternoon
Evelyn Thaw's testimony was being
read to the jury.
Part of Charge Re.read.
That portion of the judges charge
relating to insanity was read to the
jury.
At 1890 o'clock the jury retired TO
