Directly after Harry Thaw left the
courtroom knowing that twelve men
at least believed him sane he de
scended the steps of the Courthouse
on the Chambers Street side, on his
way to the Sherif's Office, across the
street. As he came down the steps
he was given an ovation, and it took
six deputies to clear the way for HIM.
When he finally reached the Sheriff S
rooms he was happy annd perspiring'
Then he removed his coat and lit a
cigar preparatory to answering news

Thaw was first asked as to his plans
for the future. "Are you going to

TRUST BUSTERS
CAN'T FIND WORK
Big Combines on Good
Behavior-U. S. Steel
Decision i'm Fall.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, July lave haven't
busted a trust for quite q SPELL" de-
clared Attorney General Gregory to-
day. THE big combines are being
good. Their behavior does not merit
our bringing any more suits right
now"
Mr.. Gregory indicated that many
complaints which formerly might have
brought on suits under the antitrust
laws were now referred to the Federal
Trade Commission.
In the suits against the United
States Steel Corporation and the In
ternationa Harvester Company the
Department of Justice is very anxious
tc obtain a decision from the United
States Supreme Court aside from any
attitude on trust prosecution The
Circuit Court of Appeals at ST. Paul,
Mimi, decided against the Harvester
Company, while the Circuit Court OF
Appeals at Philadelphia decided
against the government in the Steel
Corporation case. In both cases, the
department claims, virtually the same
arguments were put to the courts. The
fact that the courts decided differently
makes it almost imperative that some
authoritative decision be obtained
which would settle the law in the case,
and for that reason an opinion by tho
Supreme Court is urgently desired.
It was a bitter disappointment to
the officials of the department when
the Supreme Court failed TO decide the
Harvester case at the close of the re-
cent term. 1t is generally believed
that the court stood four to four, with
Justice McReynolds taking no part be-
cause as Attorney General he had
argued the Harvester case before the
! St. Paul court and won it. If the de-
partment's belief is correct, one Of the
! justices must be convinced there are
POINTS sufficient to make him reverse
lis previous decision or there can be
10 final opinion from the court.
Attorney General Gregory has an
nounced that the governments appeal
to the Supreme Court in the suit
against the United States Steel Cor
poration will be taken in time for ar
eument at the fall term.

Charles A. Basil, juror No. II, living at
202 West 148th Street. Mr.. Basil mas
tened TO explain that he cast that pal
lot in no spirit Of captlous dlherlng.
His only idea was to delay the hnal
verdict while the jury INDUCED IN some
calm, dispassionate discussion OF lhe
case.
So thew began to discuss. They de-
cided first of all 10 disregard entirely
the alienists in the trial. They even
went further and talked Of the adylsa-
biljtv of issuing a manifesto that IN
their belief there should be Iiml-
tations placed on expert testimony.
They finally decided that they would be
performing a sufficiently great public
duty BY declaring Thaw sane, so thew
proceeded to cast the formal ballot to
that effect.
Tense Moment in Court.
The tensitv in the courtroom after
the Jury had returned doors had
been locked and a delay ensued before
Justice Hendrick took his seat to re-
ceive the verdict-was as great as
though a mans life depended upon the
fateful words on the rolled sheet OF
paper the diminutive foreman. David
A. Robinson, held to his breast like a
statesman holding his speech manu-
script.
As Justice Hendrick took the bench
he scnsed the high pitch Of feeling to
which the emotions of the silent court
room crowd had risen. Outside the
room and around the building there
were thousands more. for the war Dul-
oltin boards of Park Row had been de
serted to build up the momentariIy
more important Thaw crowds.
There must not be any demonstra-
ton of any sort whatsoever in this
courtroom, whether the verdict is for
or against Mr.. Thaw," Justice Hen
drick said as he took his seat.
First the roll Of the twelve men was
called to settle any legal doubts as TO
whether they were there. Then the
voice Of the court clerk, Frank Nc
Gurk, rang out again with the dramatic
question Gentlemen Of the jury, have
YOU reached a verdictY
The climax was slowly building up
and the tension increased. Mr.. ROBIN
son silently handed his rolled sheet
of paper TO Mr.. McGurk, who showed
it to the justice, anG then Clerk Nc
Gurk said:
"Gentlemen of the jury, hearken to
YOUR verdict. The question has been
asked you, rs Harry K. Thaw now
