Thaw, when he had returned to the Tombs gave out the following statement: 1 believe that every man In the jury possessing average intelligence, excepting possibly Mr. Bolton, comprehended the weight of evidence and balanced it for acquittal. AU my family bid me good bye with courage. I trust (D. V.) we my all keep well." To his attorneys Thaw said he was deeply disappointed. But could hardly expect anything else, in view of the events of the last few days, he added. Early in the day Thaw had given out another statement In which he ald he had desired that his file should be Judged on the written laws of the state of New York. He declared that he believed the evidence adduced had convinced even District Attorney Jerome of his Innocence under the strict letter of the law. Attorney Delphln M. Delnias. who conducted Thaws case in oourt and who, In making hla summing up, address to the Jury appealed almost directly to the unwritten law or dementia Americana, as he termed It, waa not In oourt today when the jury made its report and was discharged. Clifford W. Hartridge, the attorney of record end warm personal friend of Thaw, gave the following statement to the Associated Press: Mr. Thaw he already expressed himself desirous of a trial npder an 4 in accordance with the laws of' the' state of New York. I can add nothing to that exoept to say that 1 entirely agree with him and hope that wo shall have a new trial speedily and that the next time It will nut le necessary for the presiding judge to have to' charge the jury that we are living In a civilised community. Attorneys Daniel O'Reilly. Clifford W. Hartridge, A. Russell Peabody and John B. Gleason acted fur Thaw today. It was said that Mr. O'Reilly would have a leading part In the future conduct iff affaire. The story of the proceedings In the Jury room as they were learned tonight, for outranked In Interest the brief court proceedings which brought the famous trial to n close. It developed that the Jury had considered everything connected with the esse except the unwritten law, passing their judgment entirely on the evidence, they voted either for or against murder In the first degree when they cast their first ballot. The first vote waa eight to four In favor of conviction. Then the Jury tried to reeCh n common ground on n verdict of manslaughter In the first degree, the punishment for which ranges to n maximum of 20 years Imprisonment. The men In favor of acquittal largely on the ground of Insanity, It Is said would not change their ballots, and in the end won over to their side one ff the eight who favored conviction. During the nearly 48 hours of deliberation only eight ballots were cast The Jury spent the two nights sessions dosing in their chain. The entire story of what happened In the Jury room from the time the twelve men retired at- 5:17 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon- until they finally deckled this afternoon that the prospects of a verdict were too remote to warrant longer discussion of the facts was told by one of the Jurors, Henry C, Harney. The final ballot, taken just before the Jury reported Its disagreement In court, was as follows: For conviction of murder in the first degree Doming B. Bmlth, foreman; George Pfaf. No. 2; Charles H. Fecke, No. 3; Harry C. Brearley, No. : Cha. D. Newton, No. 8; Joseph B. Bolton, No 11; end Bernard Gerstman: No. 12. For acquittal on the ground of Insanity Oscar M. Pink, No. 4; Henry C. Harney, No. 5: Malcolm 8. Fraser, No. 7; Wilbur F. Steele, No. 9; and John 8. Dennee, No. 10. Juror Harney said: About ten minutes after we reached the Jury room we took the first ballot, sad it resulted in a vote of eight for conviction of murder In first degree and four for absolutely acquittal. The men who voted for acquittal were: Smith, foreman: Pfaf. Fecke. Brearly, Dennee. Bolton, Newton and Oerst-maThe men who voted to set Thaw free were Pink, Harney, Fraser and Steele. ' Thirty minutes elapsed before the second ballot wss taken, and then tbs votes remained unchanged. A third ballot was taken at 9?45 p. m. on Wednesday, nnd still there was no change In the opinions of the Jurors. Thereafter there wss considerable discussion among the men, but most of the night hours were spent in sleep and no ballot was taken until 4:30 o'clock the foliowing (Thursday) afternoon. This wu several hours after the Jurr had appesled to the court for n of the testimony given by eve witnesses of the tragedy. The fourth ballot marked one change In the vote. Four of the Jurors still held out for an acquittal, but of the rest rest Bernard Gerstman, the twelfth Juror, changed hie vote from murder In the first degree to that iff manslaughter In the fltgt degree. About two hours later a fifth ballot waa taken end this rtiowed a decided change on the part of the Jurors who voted for conviction, it also proved that the effort of the four Jurors who voted for sa acquittal had not been altogether la vain, for they euoceeded in winning over to their eld Juror Dennee, who up to lhat time had voted for conviction. The rest of the Jurors, with the exception of George Pfaf, who had voted for murder In the first degree, decided that Thaw wss only guilty of manslaughter In the first degree. The sixth ballot was taken at 8:25 ocolck Thursday night and remained unchanged. After that there was not. another ballot until 12:20 o'clock this afternoon, when all of the jurors showed that they wrre of the same mind as before, excepting Brearley, who In addition to voting for manslaughter In the first degres, added that the defendant should be recommended to the mercy of the court. The eighth nnd last ballot was taken at 8:41 o'clock this aflemooe and showed a most remarkable change in th entire jury. Th five men who had voted for an absolute acquittal changed their ballots te that of not guilty oa tbs ground of Insanity la tha hope ef winning over their colleague. but the remainder of tha Jury, all of whom, with the except! oa of OaflftSPfaf, had 'Yfted for a vrrtHct of manslaughter, made up their minds that Thaw wss guilty of murder in the first degree and voted aooordlngiy. This practically ended the deliberations of ths Jury and the jurors, arriving at th conclusion that thev could never agree, asked to be discharged. It will be noticed that the only man who voted consistently according to his first opinion was George Pfaf, Juror No. 2, who from the very tint ballot adhered to his belief that Harry Thaw was guilty of murder In the first degree. Equally ae consistent in their belief to the contrary were Jurors Pink, Harney, Fraser and Steele, who from the very outset decided that In their opinion Thaw was not guilty. Theta four men, however, slightly changed their belief on the last ballot, whea in the hope of winning over their companions they conceded to acquit the defendant on the ground of Insanity. The sessions of the Jury were not altogether pleasant and precefuL There were many stormy arguments, nnd et one time chargee of Inconsistency and breaking faith with the orders of the court were mad, but at no point of the dellberatlone did the foreman lose control of the situation. He successfully held the twleve men in check and was ths first to suggest, when It wss seen that there was no possibility of n verdict being reached, d to report the matter to Justice and leave the further disposition of the ease to his Judgment. Wilbur F. Steele, Juror No. 9, sold: There was plenty of disagreement between the opinions expressed by tha jurors. We considered insanity la many phases, but did not give the subject of wronged womanhood any lengthy debate; In fact, scarcely any. It was touched upon and quickly dropped. The question which was considered at nausual length was whether Thaw was Insane at the moment be shot Stanford White, and whether at that moment he was responsible for his actions. Juror Jos. B. Bolton said: There wss no question of the unwritten law or of Dementia Americana In our deliberations. We considered the case from a purely legal standpoint We were not swayed by emotion." The Jury when considering the case took no stock In 'Brainstorm, said Juror George II. Fecke. We' did not pay an undue amount of attention to the testimony of the alienists, either, Mr. Fecke added. It was after Mr. Dennee haJ read some of Thaw's letters that he decided there was a reasonable doubt s to Thaw's sanity. Dennee then Joined the four men who stood for acquittal on the grounds of Insanity. Mr. O'Reilly of Thaw's counsel, tonight, said: I confess that I nm disappointed. I really expected an acquittal. Per. hap now, In view of the verdict, Mr. Delmas made a mletake la using the term Deentls Americana.' But he made an honest effort, and It might have been a mistake of Judgment The Attorney Gleason said: of the Jury was disappointing, of course. It was unfortunate, the introduction of the nnwrltten law characterized as Dementia AmIf Instead of this counsel ericans. had dwelt upon the statutory Insanity of Thaw, which was plainly proven Thaw might have been acquitted. Mrs. Wm. Thaw, mother of the prl. oner, sent out the following message In response to request for a state, ment tonight: Mr. Thaw has nothing to say. She Flts-geral- has made no statement since she has been in Nw York, neither will Ue make any. Mrs. Evelyn Netbit Thiw said: I cant understand It. I don't see why they could But have cuiue to some agreement. A reporter said to Mr. Thaw: The Jury stood seven to five for conviction. I don't believe. It she cried emphatically. They vight to have acquitted him aa the) evidence." When the diasgreemmit of the Jury waa announced la court Thaw turned even paler ihaa h has been for the past several days, and whea be was remanded back- - te the city prison at the suggestion of District Attorney Jerome he hung his bead dejectedly. Up to th very Ian Thaw had hoped the twelve men would finally agree upon a verdict at not guilty. It was 4:20 e'ekxik when Justice Fitzgerald sent ocun messengers to summon District Attorney Jerome and counsel for the defendant. Thres minutes later he ordered the Jury to appear before him la the court room. The Jury filed In at 4:25 p. m. There was considerable delay waiting for District Attorney Jerome sho had left the building. Thaw was brought before the Jury at 4:29 p. m. He entered smiling and confident as ever. Siam hla wife appeared, and after smiling a greeting to him she was making her way to her accustomed pises when Thaw caught her by ths slseve' and beckoned her Into the unoccupied chair beside him. He put his right arm around her waist As Soon as Mr. Jerome arrived Justice Fitzgerald took hla place on the bench and Clerk Penny began to call the roll of the Jury,- - When this was ever he said to Thaw; Tbs defendant Will rise. Then for the first rime those In th court room knew that the end of the famous trial was at band. Clerk Penny next aald: The Jury will rise." Then he went oa: Defendant, look upon tha Juror ; jurora look upon the defendant Gentlemen of the Jure, have you agreed upon a verdict We have eot quickly responded Foreman Doming B. Smith, in a voice that was audible In every corner of ths court rooto. Little Mrs. Thaw reached np and grasped her husbands hand. Thaw sat down limply beetde her. She whispered comforting words him she believed la hie ear and-tol- l from what counsel had said thifTfiK waa a good chases of hie being liberated on ball. Justlca Fitzgerald, turning te the Jurora, aald: Gentlemen of the Jury, I have deemed It my duty to keep you here ss long as there was n possibility of your reaching a verdict.- - I have' arrived at the conclusion that it will be impoeirfble fir you to do to. I have consulted with counsel for the defendant nnd tha learned district attorney, nnd I am going to discharge you from further consideration of ths case, the publle prosecutor and eoun sel for tbs defendant consenting to such discharge. Justice Fitzgerald called on District Attorney Jerome and Messrs. Daniel O'Reilly and Clifford Hartridge of Thaw's counsel to arise and formally enter their consent. Then Mr. Jerome spoke: I will ask, he said; that the die fendant be remanded In custody ae before." The defendant will he eo remanded, said Justice Fitzgerald nnd Thaw arose and mads hla way out of the court, room. District Attorney Jerome said there were reasons which made It necessary that the January term of the court In which the trial of Harry Thaw wu begun should not yet be adjourned sine die. He naked that such an adjourn ment should be taken ss would com' port with the convenience of the court. Fltzgrrald then ordered an adjournment at 4:34 p. m. until Monday, April 29th.
