At II o'clock, however, Mr.s Torrey returned to the court room in com pany with Dr. Kent and after a con ference between the court, counsel and physician, Judge Curtis announced the postponement to the jury and excused them until Wednesday. Judge Curtis admonished the jurors not to discuss the case with anyone and not to read anything printed about it in the pa perS Has Serious Heart Affection.
 Mrs. Lawson's condition was being watched with close interest during the afternoon of Thursday. A physician who is familiar with her case was quoted as saying Thursday that she form and Is apt to die during any of the attacks from which she suffers. This affiiction of Mrs. Lawson's has been known of since she first came into her husband. The collapse she suf fered soon after her husbands death delayed the action of the state against her and she was not arrested until September 29 of last year, more than six weeks after the commission of the crime with which she Is charged. There were times when her life was despaired of, So serious was her con- d1tion, but she rallied and eventually was taken into custody. Sheriff Pres ton B. Sfbley took special precautions to guard her health during the time she was being held at Brooklyn jail and expressed satisfaction that it did not again fail seriously during the time the prisoner was in his charge. Had Decided to Have Accused Testify.
 All actively interested in the trial of the case were deeply disappointed at Thursdays turn of events and none more so than Mrs. Lawson's counsel. It was apparent to all. however, that it would be a physical impoSsibi1ity for Mrs. Lawsen to be present in court and the trial could not go on unless she were.
 Mr Torrey had practically decided to have Mrs. Lawsen testify, as she is anxious to do, but was fearful that the excitement would break her down. Mrs. Lawson will be given every atten- tien during the next few days and it is hoped she will be able to come into court next Wednesday,
