tant cases will probably be tried. Inc
case of -Olds VS.. Carpenter & Wisner IS
now being tried. This case involves
about $1,000. and very interesting le-
gal point. namely, whether the plaintiff
can recover from the defendants on
account of the alleged fraud Of the de-
PENDANTS agent in the sale OF defend
ants land to plaintiff. the fraudulent
representations of the agent being
made without the knowledge or con-
nivance of his principals. Another in
teresting case that may be tried is the
Timothy Clary, ST., will contest, and
the personal injury suit Of Brakeman

Railroad company. The Clary will
contest involves a large estate which
was devised to decedent's son, Timothy
Clary. Jr., to the substantial exclusion
of all the other heirs, brothers and
sisters Of the latter. 1t is possible that
the case may be continued on account
of the absence of the principal attor-
ney of the contestants, Honorable Tim

1HAN JURY IS
again EXCUSED
Allowed to Go Until Insanity
Commission Concludes Its
Work
------
DEFENDANT "spRucEs up
Prepared to Make Good Appearance in
Court, in Anticipation of Being
scrutinized by Members Of commis-
sion-Puzzled at Conflicting Reports
1 in the Newspapers.

New York. March 27.-F'or what may
be the last time, Harry K. Thaw> was in
court today to face the jury before
which he has been on trial. The jury
had been excused while the appoint
ment of a lunacy commission was un-
der consideration, the actual sessions
OF court being adjourned until today.
It was expected that, in view of the
appointment of a lunacy commission
yesterday, the court would today again
excuse the jury from further attend
ance until the commission has complet-
ed its work.
Thaw had prepared for the day with
more than his usual care, believing he
would be under the scrutiny of mem
bers of the commission at some time
during the day. After breakfast he
read over the newspapers, taking a
keen interest in the various reports of
the appointment of the commission. He
appeared puzzled at the different con-
fiicting stories told as to the method
of procedure, and asked Attorney Pea
body to explain the procedure pre-
scribed by law. Peabody remained for
an hour with Thaw. No other visitors
called.
AS Thaw appeared in the court
room from the Tombs, his wife mother
and sisters, entered the building to-
gether They went to the ante-room.
AS soon as the members of the lun-
acy commission reached the court they
went in conference with Justice yFitz-
gerald in the judges chambers. Fitz-
gerald, 1t was stated, went over all the
details Of the case with the commits
sioners, and also discussed Mith.~them
the scope of inquiry they are to un-
dertake. The jury reported promptly
at 1920, but were kept waiting for
more than an hour because of the con-
ference.
Following the consultation, all three
commissioners filed into the court
room and took places by the clerks
desk. The jury entered and Thaw
was called to the bar. The prisoner
looked better physically than for some
time past. All the members of his
FITZGERALD took his place on the bench,
he at once announced that the jury
would be excused until 10:30 Monday
morning. The jury withdrew and Thaw
was taken back to the Tombs. Justice
Fitzgerald then summoned the lawyers
to his desk, And consulted with them
for several minutes, after which he
ordered adjournment of the court. until
next Monday, thereby indicating that
he expects the inquiry by the commits
sion into Thaw's present mental state,
to be brief. Hartridge was fixed on
as the member of Thaw's numerous
/ counsel upon whom all, official notices
in the future should be served. Del
mas was not in court today. While
the conference at the judges desk was
In progress, Thaw's mother and wife
entered into lively conversation. .
The commission notified District
Attorney Jerome to appear before 1t at
IS o'clock this afternoon. The commits
sion will organize at that time and
arrange as to future hearings etc.
