Harry Thaw had been waiting Tor
the summons to face the Jurors ever
since shortly after ~ o CLOCK thls
morning. lie felt that to-day would
bring q crisis, and that either a rer-
3 DICT would be reached or Justice l'ita-
gerald would discharge the jurors from
1ny further consideration of the case.
This was the general belief, and tho
only remarkable feature of the case
was the logged manner in which the
jurors continued at their task and de-
clined to ask 70 be excused. Justice
Fitzgerald lad been determined to let
them fight it out among themselves
until they should call for assistance.
This appeal came at 4;15 o'clock. and
then followed a hunt for counsel, both
tcrncys for the defendant having tenn
porarily left the building. When they
arrived Jfstice Fitzgerald notified
them of the jury's communication that
a disagreement seemed Inevitable.
Every one connected with the case
seemed willing to accept the situation
as Offering no hope. and then followed
the brief courtroom proceedings. at
