ing delibcratcd for more than four
hours. the jury in the case OF Harry

failed late tonight TO reach verdict.

locked up for the night and recess Of
court was declared until 10 O'Clock
tomorrow morning.
The Jurors, 1t was apparent from
questions asked when its foreman
came in for instructions. seemed to
be divided on the question as 10 what
Thaw's legal status was at the time
of his escape and what part his belief
that he had a right TO flee should play
In the determination OF verdict.
The case went to the: jury late to-
day after completion of the cross ex-
animation of Thaw and the delivery of
closing addresses to the jury by attor-
neys for all the interests concerned.
In his charge to the jury. the presid-
ing Justice said that the question OF
Thaw's sanity should enter into the
case only insofar as he might be
shown to have the mental capacity
to enter into q criminal act and In
tended to do so.
