Again at 2 O’clock ‘
NEW YORK, April 12.~«Appnrently
as far froth ii verdict as when they re-
tired at 5:17 last Wednesday afternoon
the jury in the Thaw case continued
today the task of trying to reach some
sort of agreement. No word whatev-
or had come froiu the jury room up In
12:30 p. m., when JIIslItice FitzGerald
ordered a luncheon recess of court un-
til 2 p. In.
The Thaw jury is breaking all rec»
ords by its stubborn determination to
agree on one of thtI four verdicts out-
lined by Justice FltzGIIrald on his
charge.
The most. remarkable feature of the
rust! is the fact that. not only dur-
ing the iorty~tbrcc hours which has
elapsed up to noon today had the jury
suggested that it could not agree and
thus ask for a discharge from further
service. The. twelve men appamntly
feel that their conscience compels
ll't‘I'll to do their utmost. in making
some definite disposition of the case.
Great crowds gathered about. the
('II kninal Courts Building at the
Tombs today, fully 5,000 persons block
ing the streets by 12 o'clock.
When Mrs. Evelyn Thaw left the
building to go to luncheon she was all
but mobbed, and several scores of po
licemen had to make a way for her
, through the throngs.
Mrs, William Thaw and her sons.
Edward and Josiah. today visited the
defendant in the prisoner's pen. They
found him cheerful as usual, absolutely
refusing to feel depressed over the
outlook. A disagreement of the jury.
lmWevor, means another long period of
confinement for the young man until
his second trial could be reached on
the calendar
To the pIiaoner's mother and wife
the strain of the long wait is proving a
far greater hardship than to the man
whose life is suppose ed to be hanging
in the balance. The long delay Iff the
jury' a deliberation is also proving very
hard upon counsel connected with the
case. Tension is at a high pitch ai-
wnys and today shortly after noon
when one of Thaw's counsel in a, spir
it. of jocularity suddenly threw up his
arms while standing in the court house
corridor and whispered in a perfect
audible and serious tone. “The jury
is coming in." there was a wild rush
for the court room doors.
The “news" believed. to be genuine
by those who had not been prepared
for the joke was flushed uptown and
downtown- in all directions. it was
even flashed over the country at large.
Tho jurors spent a quiet night. ac
cording to' the court officers who have
them in charge". but continued the ar-
gument and balloting until breakfast
time. Still there is no sign of an ag-
reement and feeling that a verdict will
never be reached is growing stronger
every hour that the jury remains out.
Justice FitzGerald announced last
evening when he went to his home at
11:40 o’clock. that he would not re
turn until 10:30 a. m., unless he was
sent for. The jurors early today gave
no sign of wanting to see him.
Crowds began to assemble in the
streets about the Criminal Court
building as early as 8:30 o'clock to-
day. District Attomey Jerome said
that the longest period of confinement
be had ever known a jury to endure
in this jurisdiction was forty-eight
hours. The Court of Appeals approv-
ed the cortrse of the court, do that in-
stance because there was no attempt
to coerce the jury.
it was persistently reported this
morning that the members of the jury
are divided 9 to 3, but just what
grounds the division Is based upon
cbuld not. be'detcrmlned. Some sald'l .
wore for conviction for manslaughter
with 3 for acquittal, while others do-
clared it was 3 for conviction and 9
for acquittal on the ground of insan~
lty.
This report as to the 9 to 3 division
was lent a certain degree of color by
the statements of persons who had
watched the jury room windows early
this morning. They said the jury was
arranged for discussion in three
groups with one man in the center of
each shaking his head and refusing to‘
concur In the expressed opinions of
the others
The statics even went so tat as to
name the three jurors who would not
be moved by the arguments of their
. fellows.
Justice FitnGei-ald, it developed to
day, had I1 long conference last Tues
day night with Messers David Mc-
Clure and Peter B.01ney, who were ‘
members of the commission in lunacy
which examined Thaw and declared
him sane. It was said the judge pro-
bably wanted to consult with the com-
missioners as to their views, as to
whether they would consider it wise ‘
to release Thaw in the event of a ver-
dict of acquittal on the ground of in
sanity.
Justice Fitz altl. u‘vcn he arrived
at his chambe found- no word nwult-
in: him from the jury. At l1 o'clock
they had not reached the point where
they felt; they were instilled in asking
for a discharge.

Business Men's Association. stated
last night. that h believed that Mr.
Smith had a mi aken impression of
the situation.
Mr. Smith took off the freight boat
service to Norwalk some .time ago.
instead of delivering Norwalk freight
at the upwwndeck it is drayed from

South Normllr. if they desire to use
the hosts as a carrier.
Chief among the complainants to
this conditiou is the St. Coot-go Plup

clpal inducements offered the company
to locate in Norwalk was the freight.
boat service which was within thirty
or 40 feet of the door of the shipping
department of the plant. Now the com-
Dany finds it necessary to track all
water shipments to South Not-walk.
After talking over the subject fm
some time, the Association appointed
President Lyrics a committee to wait
on Captain Smith and explain the alt-
uation to him.
Mr. Smith has desired for some time
to get a small boat to run between Nor

Editor of The Sentinel:
Dear Sir: in reply to your article

to say that Ralph Webb was very carc-
ful not to publish full contents of lat-
ter. 1 left home because i grew tired
of working and trying to earn enough
to lake care of the children. which he.
did not properly do. Yes he always was
sober and industrious. but what did
that amount to as long as he did not
seem to take any inieIIIal in his fain-
ll)?
()IIII Saturday night. on asking him
for a half dollar to buy some stockings
for the children. he handed me out
twenty-five pennies. and l have proof
of this.
Ask him why i luff home; because.
i was in danger of my life if 1 con-
tinued to live with Hill. and l have
lived with him for the past eight.
months to hide our family affairs. but
I could stand it no longer, and shall
now work and help take care of the
children and myself.
l deny most emphatically his accusa
tlou of the wonderfully exciting ex
portence he had on March 28. at 3 II.

out the night of March 25th. and had
to arouse the neighborth to get in

i would have taken the children with
me willingly but bu had told me that
I could not have them.

It took the jury in the Lockwood
appeal case six hours to arrive at a
verdict, which they did by upsetting
the will, and rendering a decision for
the appellants. The verdict was a
surprise to the defendants, and after
it was announced. Judge Light gave
noticeI of an appeal to the Supreme
court.
This case has not attracted much
local interest, but it has created much
general interest in New Canaan and
Stamford and more particularly in
New Canaan where the parties in in-
terest live and ate. so well known.
'1‘ chappeui of Ada Lockwood from
the probating of the will of her ino-
thI-re has been on trial lntsrruptedly
before a jury for two weeks. The ver-
dict of the jury does not affect . the
legacy to St. Mark‘s Church of $2,000
which was not claimed by the appel-
lants. The basis of the appeal was
that two daughters, Emily and ldu.
who' received more by the will than
the other children, had used undue in-
fluent-c.
it was a very closely tried tone. by
Messors i-‘essenden and Judson for the
appellants. and by Judge Light and
Attdrney Tammany for the defendants.
There were often clashes betwaen
counsel which helped enliven the pro-
ceedingu. The arguments were made
Tuesday by Senator Judson and Judge
Light. and the case yesterday was
opened by the charge of the court.
The case was given to the jury
Wednesday forenoon at. 11 o'clock and
with an hour‘s intermission for lunch
the jury debuted on the case and re-
ported st ti o‘clock Wednesday night.
When the announcement was made of
the verdict there was corresponding re-
joicing on one side and depression on
the other. as both sides to the con-
troversy were well represented. Judge
Wheeler thanked the Jury for their a
bow and dismissed them. Judge Light
