HIS FAMILY READY
WITH A VAST SUM
II IS Not Likely That the Court
viii Admit the Young Man
to Bail as 1t is Against all
Precedent In that State.
ThaW's Lawyers SquabbIe.


New York, April 49, The Thaw at
torneys today are preparing demand
for their clients release on bail pending
new trial, which will be made prob
ably next Monday. Thaw's family is
ready to offer a bond in any sum, and,
although the demand il almost unprece-
dented, it Is argued that the amount Of
the bond and the publicity given the
case will make it almost impossible for
the defendant to escape to any quarter
OF the globe. The district attorney will
vigorously oppose the application. and
the indications are tha1 Thaw win have
to stay in the Tombs until October,
when the case is finally decided.
While the Thaw attorneys deny that
they have been released, ii Is said that
Mrs. William Thaw has determined on
change, and that she may 90 back to

Now that the bitterness Of discussion
in the jury room has worn off, the jury

The scenes attending the announce.

upon any sort Of verdict were robbed
Of any theatricalism by the general be-
lief that after their long deiiberation
and the reports Of wide diversion Of
sentiment, the Jurors could make no
other report than one Of disagreement.
Ihaw, surrounded BY the members Of
his family-the devoted, aged mother,
the pale young wife, the titled sister,
Countess Of Yarmouth; Mrs. George Car
negie and Edward and Josiah Thaw. the
brothers-receiged the news in absolute
silence. When it became known that
the jury was about to make its report
and that the case would be disposed Of.
Thaw called his wife to seat by his
side and sat with his arm thrown about
her until he was commanded to stand
and face the Jurors.
Smiling and confident as he entered
Gle court room, Thaw sank Imply into
his chair when foreman Deming b.
