I. Remote-Jurors Worn Out and Ono
on ths Verge Of Collapse - Thaw

Case Who is Standing Strain.

{ lists. The jury also asked permission
/ to have some portions of Delmas' sum-
ming-up address, read to them, but
Fitzgerald would not permit 1t. saving
!, it was not evidence. The Jury again
retired at 1929. Jerome and attorneys
for the defense were of the opinion af-
ter the jury retired the second time.
that a verdict of some sort might be
expected within short while.
New York, April 11.-After deliber-
ating for more than eighteen hours
without being able to reach an agree
ment, the jury into whose hands the
tate Of Harry K. Thaw was given at
b:17 yesterday afternoon, reported be-
fore Justice Fitzgerald at IL o'clock
5 today. and asked permission to exam
inc the large numbers of exhibits In
troduced during the trial. They also
asked to have read to them the testi-
mony of several eye witnesses to the
tragedy ..
The action Of the Jury in asking for
the particular exhibits and testimony
indicated, led to much speculation as
to what the trend Of their long discus
!. sion had been. One of the widely dis
cussed theories was that the jurors
either wanted to refresh their memor-
les as to the testimony, tending to
show either deliberation or premedita-
ton on the part of Thaw or else they
wanted to have the story of Thaw's
actions the night of the tragedy re-
hearsed once more, in order that they
might Judge as to his nationality. The
suggestion of the latter purpose
seemed to be given weight by the fact
that they desired to examine the let
ters and the will and codicil brought
forward by the defense in support OF
it's claim Of insanity.
1t was generally conceded that seri-
Gus differences of opinion had devel-
oped among the jurors as to evidence,
and that verdict of any sort is still
remote. The examination of the Thaw
letters and other documents called for
will require much time.
Thaw faced his judges today with
every indication of confidence. He, of
all the members of his counsel and his
family, are still hopeful of favorable
outcome The best his counsel expect
is disagreement of the jury. They
have feared from the time the Jurors
retired that there might be a COM
promise among them on some lesser
degree of guilt than murder in the first
degree. The action of the jury today
in calling for testimony did not inspire
the attorneys to any new hope.
After being locked in their consul
tation room at II last night, with Moth
ing but hard chairs and a table to rest
upon. the jurors argued increasingly
among themselves. The few ballots
taken indicated. it is said, wide di-
vergence of views. When they went to
breakfast at this morning they
looked pale but upon their return two
hours later. their dropping of spirits
