MADISON SQUARE.

Confident of AcquittaI at His COM
ing Second Arraignment.

New York, June 26.-It was a veal
ago last night since Harry Kendall
Thaw shot and instantly killed Stan
ford White, the architect, on the Mad
ison Square roof garden during the
initial performance of the musical
comedy, 'Mamselie Champagne"
Before the Public.
Since the tragic night Thaw has
been the central figure in one of the
most absorbing trials in the criminal
annals of this or any other country;
his mental state has been made the
theme of innumerable opinions, lay
and expert, and it has been passed
upon by a legally constituted commits
sion; his own, his wife's and his fam
ily's acts, positive or negative, have
been related even to the most ordinary
details; his wife has been the object
OF a prodigious amount of newspaper
reporting and illustration; the pro-
cedure of his trial has been made a
subject of international comment; and,
finally, twelve men, picked with ex-
traordinary care, have disagreed in
his case, after probably the most pop
ularly exciting deliberations in the his
tory of any trial for murder in the
United States.
Still In the Tombs.
Thaw has many more days in the
Iombs ahead of him, for it is certain
that he will not be tried the second
time until late in the fall, and there is
even a possibility that he may not be
tried again this year. But he seems
%sanguine and cheerful Notwithstanding
the confinement and scenes of depres.
sion he is obliged to undergo. He is
in good health, also, although pale from
his prison life.
