THOUGHT THAT PARIS
BAKERS STRIKE OVER

Paris, April 12.-Everything in
5dicates that the strike of the bakers
is ended. No soldiers were patroll-
ing the streets last night. The bak-
ers held a second meeting in the
labor exchange at 10 o'clock, but
there were fewer men present than
at the morning meeting. This would
seem to indicate general resump-
tion of work. which is confirmed by
statement issued by the prefec-
ture OF police at II O'Clock last
night that only six hundred defec-
tions had been recorded in Paris
and the district. This number is
inconsiderable, as there are 1890
bakeries .in. Paris alone. Neverthe-
less, as measure of precaution the
bakeries were guarded last night for
fear that attempts might be made
to molest workers.
The bakers of Toulon have voted
to go on general strike today un-
less their demands are granted.

Mobridge, S. d., April 12.- (spe-.
cial to the American. Stanley Jen-
nick, a bridge worker on the tenn
porary bridge over the Missouri riv-
er at this point lost his life by
drowning yesterday.
Jennick was at work in a boat
in midstream, steadying piles for the
bridge while the pile driver drove
them into the river bed. He had
hold Ola rope and in some manner
lost his balance and fell headlong
into the icy stream.
The man at work on the pile driv-
er jumped down into the boat and
reached out a pike pole to the man
in the water which he grasped but
which he was unable to retain hold
of owing to the strong current.
Ropes were then thrown to him but
none fell within his reach and he
was rapidly carried down the stream.
A man with boat put out but
after nearing Jennick he rested on
his oars, SO eye witnesses state, fear
ing to pull up to within reach Of
the man lest he seize hold of the
boat and capsize it. Rather than
run this risk the man in the boat
let Jennick go to his death.
As he sank he was seen to raise
his hand and wave last farewell.
Jennick was a single man about
20 or 81 years of age. It is said
lhe had relatives in Chicago and in
Rockford, Ill, the latter place he
lclaimed as his home. 1t is said that
only the day before his death the
unfortunate young man sent $3.50 to
lhis parents in Russia to come to the
United States.
A number of men working on the
bridge left for Aberdeen last night.

man with the boat. to rescue Jen-
nick characte cterizing his action as

World Eagerly Awaits Decision Of Harry ThdV S Fate
Bought 5000 Acres

During his redirect examination,
Mr.. Hermann said he had acquired
three thousand acres OF land, in
stead of thirty thousand as was pre-
yiously stated, while he was receiv-
.er of the Roseburg land Office in
1872. For this land. he paid $1.25.
per acre, held it as sheep and cat
tie ranch for many years and then
sold it for two dollars an acre. Mr..
Worthington read the statute pro-
hibiting officers, clerks and employ
ees of the general land Office from
acquiring land from the government
and contended that this law did not
apply to employees in the govern
ment service outside the land office
such as Mr.. Hermann was at that
time.
Money Evidence
Charles Chaffee, president OF the
Wisconsin National Bank of Rhine
lander, Wis, and Henry Close, the
cashier of the Milwaukee National
bank Of Milwaukee, testified for the
defense regarding the payment in
1901 Of $4,000 to S. A. ID. Puter.
Mr.. Chaffee said his bank ordered
payment to Puter through the Mil
waukee bank and Cashier Close said
his bank paid the amount by draft
on the First National bank of Chi
cago, and that this draft was cashed
by the Continental National bank OF
Chicago. On cross examination MIR.
Chaffee said he paid $4,000 in cash
a few days before the $4,000 pay
ment was made. Puter had testified
that he got two $1,000 bills from
the Milwaukee bank, the money be-
ing a part of this $4,000 transac-
5tion.
The defense also examined w. p.
Mitchell Of New York City, who was
the coachman, butler and personal
servant OF Nathaniel Mckay. who
Robertson testified obtained large
package of $40 bills from Senator
Mitchell, supposed to be the change
from the $1,000 bills. The witness
said Mckay was a very feeble man
during the period of time in ques-
tion.

STILL NO VERDICT IN
BIG MURDER CASE

l
ner which has characterized Harry
Thaw since the jury retired at 7:17
O'Clock on Wednesday afternoon.
False Rumors in Air
There were all sorts of rumors and
guesses in the air yesterday as to
how the jury stood. There were more
reports as to the result of the bal
lots than there could have been test
votes taken. None of the reports
could have the least authenticity.
Occasionally these We're taken in
deadly earnest by persons who ov-
erheard them.
The action of the jury in twice
going before Justice Fitzgerald and
to have certain portions of the tes.
timony read to them was widely
commented upon and naturally caus-
ed much speculation. 1t seemed evil
dent that the jury's deliberations
were hinging upon the question of
the sanity or insanity of the defend
ant as shown by the defense. The
jury showed almost startling famil-
iarity with the evidence and the
testimony they desired to hear again
yesterday was given in part [by per-
sons who were not referred to in
the sumlming-up speeches of either
Delmas or District Attorney Jerome.
From the manner in which the
jurors wished to go over the evil
dence in all its detail, it was sur
missed that the verdict if reached at
all would be predicated entirely on
the evidence and not upon the ''un-
written law.
Justire Fitzgerald spent the en-
tire evening in his chambers await
ing the pleasure of the jurors.
At 11:40 o'clock last night the
jury was ordered locked up for the
second night at the criminal courts
building. The fact that they had
not been able to agree after devot-
ing so much time to the study and
discussion of the case has given rise
to the belief that the trial will end
in disagreement and the whole
affairs will have to be. gone over
again.
Do Not Give Up Hope
Although the twelve men have
l.
thus far failed to reach a common
opinion and to all appearances are
hopelessly at sea, Justice Fitzgerald
has not given up hope Of having a
1verdict rendered. AS yet Deming B.
Smith, foreman of the jury has not
complained to the court that the
jurors are unable to reach decision
and until he does SO it is. not like
lily that Justice Fitzgerald will dis
charge them.
1 The general impression prevails
that If the twelve men are unable to
agree at the expiration of 4S hours
they will he released from further
service. The very fact, however,
THAT no intimation has been received
from the jury room that the men are
unable to agree has been construed
by many who have followed the
proceedings closely as an indica-
ton that verdict win eventually
be reached.
The mother, wife and two sisters
and brothers of the defendant were
in the criminal courts building uI
4 to the last minute and when 1t was
finally announced that the jury had
been locked up over night and there
was no longer any prospect Of a yer.
dict before today, they returned Il
their hotel orest-fallen. They hat
hoped and looked for a decision yes,
terday and the news that they wolIli
have to pass another night in doubt
and anxiety was received with kee1
disapp ntment. rs

wanted to hear what DR.. Allan Nc

testify to as to Thaw's condition the
night of the tragedy and what Eve

finally they asked permission to take
possession of all writings of Thaw,
which had been introduced into the
trial as indicative of the defendants
state of mind when he heard the
story of Evelyn Nesbit's alleged
wrongs at the hands of the man
who was to become his victim.
Cannot Hear Speeches Again
All of these requests were glad
ly granted by the court but when
Foreman Deming B. Smith, on be-
half Of the jury, asked that certain
portions of the summing-up address
Of Delmas be read, Jlstiye Fitzger-
aid called a halt. He admonished
the jurors THAT they were to be

were not entitled to hear again the
