Forty-eight minytes wére consumed and two bal- lots were taken in reaching the ver- aict, Justice Hendrick on Friday morn- | 'ing; will announce, whether the com- mitment upon which: Thaw was in- carcerated in the state hospital~for ) the crfminal insane at - Matteawan shall be vacated, thereby giving to the slayer of Stanford White the .i- berty for which he has fought in the courts for nine years. It ‘was at the end of a day of ad- dresses by counsel 'and the charge uf the justice that the -jury retired. While the twelve men were debilera- and about the court house was aug- mented by scores of people who be- lieved that a verdict would be quick- ly found. Shortly before 4 o'clock n bailiff came from the jury room and informed . Justice Hendrick that a -verdict had been reached., Court Warns Spectators, The doors immediately were lock- ed and Justice Hendrick, ascending the bench, warned the spectators that any demonstration would be met With severe punishment. Then the Jury came in. In reply to a question by the clerk of the court as to whether a verdict had been reached, the foreman handed over a sheet of legal paper, which was passed to the justice on the bench. Justics to the clerk. ‘Gentlemen of the jury,” said the clerk, *“the question you have been asked is this: ''is Harry K. Thaw now sane; your answer is, yes.” Despite the warning, several per- sons stood up in front of their seats. The courtroom hummed, like ‘a dyna- mo. ustice Hendrick#and a dozen court attendants rapped for order. Thaw Kisses His Mother. Meanwhile Thaw, who until the verdict was announced, sat at the, counsel table with his chin resting’ in. a ‘handkerchief, haq turncd eral of his counsel. to ' where his mother few feet ' away, arms about. her twice. Mrs. Thaw at the same time, patted her daughter, Mrs. George C. Carnegile, on the shoulder. Thaw later shook hands with his half brother; Joseph Thaw, who at tho announcement of the verdict, had raised himself from his chair in order that he might better view the pro- ceedngs. The verdict recorded, John B, Stanchfield, chief counsel for Thay, made a motion that the commitment signed by Justice Dowling, following a verdict of not guilty on the ground of insanity, of which was returned by the jury at Thaw's second trial for the murder of White, be vacated. Justice Hendrick asked Deputy At- torney Genera! Becker what he had to say to such a motion. Mr. Becker, in reply, requested time in which thas state. might prepare an appeal. Jus- tice Hendrick .reminded- the lawy>rs that.he had not given nhis decision and that consequently it had not been finally decided which side might de- sire an appeal. He than set 11 o'clock this morning as the time when he would receive briefs and hear argu- ments in his chambers upon the mo- Then he went was sitting a and throwing his tions to dismiss the commitment, The ‘in the court room !

Shakes Hands \Vllh Jurors. As soon'as the jury was dismissed Thaw crossed to the box and shook hands warmly (with ‘each of the men. His mother also shook hands with the Jurymen, saying to each: “Thank you | 8o much for all that you have done.” One of the jurors asked her whether she had ever had any doubt of the re- sult of the proceedin3. Mrs. Thaw smiled and replied in the negative. “The jury and Thaw then filed into a room adjoining the court, where pho- tographers were waiting. Thaw him- self moved the benches and chairs around in the room so that he and all the jurymen might get into the picture. It was with great difficulty that court attendants amd deputy sheriffs prevented scores of men and women from dashing up to Thaw in the court room and the ante-room and’shaking his hand in congratulation of his legal victory. It was with much more diffi- culty that the erowd was cleared from the courthouse. Thaw knew none of the people who wanted to congratu- late him. But they knew him. Crowd Cheers Thaw. Outside 'the courthouse there is < wide flight of stone steps stretching dawn into , Chambers street, These i steps had been crowded all afternoon with hundreds of persons. The ‘street and the sidewalks on either side of it were also congested, ‘When Thaw flanked by deputy sheriffs, appeared in the doorway, a great cheer went up and those who did not cheer ap- ! plauded with théir hands. Thaw seemed much pleased at the demon- | stration. Still in the center of the cordon of deputy sheriffs, Thaw crossed the street and went to the sheriff’s office. | There he removed his coat, sat down, lighted a cigar and crossing his legs, looked out of the window at the great crowd being dispersed by policemen in the street below. Last night, Thaw ‘was taken to the office of an up-town physician to have a wound in his hand dressed. It was said he received the injury while play- ing with a medicine ball in the Ludlow street jail Tuesday night. Unanimous On Second Ballot. In explaining why two ballots were taken, one of the jurors, Paul J. Marks, a brother of the president of the Borough of Manhattan, said that , one the first ballot the vote was 11 to | 1 that Thaw was sane. The dissenting juror said that he cast his ballot that i i Enjoy Your ~ Vacation More With a Columbia Grafonola $17.50 to $200 BRO DR IB WHEELER 138 Main §t. é Hallinan Bldg “Tel. 9/4 4 Note S5 Special Easy Terms Columbia Double-Disc Records 65¢ !1‘!!‘ YOUR MACHINE way more as a matter for form than anything else, so that the ' .verdict would not be rendered without formal discussion. The vote 'was unanimous on the second ballot. Mr. Marks also said that heé and the other ‘members of the jury'believed that Thaw, was eccentric and possibly mentally weak, but that they did not believe he would harm any,one. < Thaw’s Fight For Freedom. Thaw :began his fight for.freedom following ‘the ‘slaying of | Sanford White, architect, on the roof of Madi- son. Square Garden, on the night of June 25, 1908, After two sensational trials, the.first of which résulted in a disagreement, Thaw wasg acquitted on the ground of insanity, but was or- dered committed to Matteawan. In February, 1908, Thaw’s counsel obtained writs. of habeas carpus,.re- quiring his examination in cpurt with a view to establishing his sanity, but ! these were invariably denied; Dash For Liberty, Thaw subsequently made a dash for liberty on August 17, 1913, escaping in an automobile to . Coaticook, P. Q. where he was arrested. He was re- leased later and sent back across the border, ' ‘being arrested ' in New Hampshire. There a commission clared him mentally sound. Then fol- lawed many legal battles to prevent Thaw’s return to New York. He lost and was brought back here and with those who aided in his escape, was tried on a charge of conspiracy. All were acquitted. . Thaw having been declared men- | tally sound in New Hampshire, his counsel then started proceedings here to have his sanity establishéd in the state which still was fighting to have him returned to Matteawan. A mpo- tion for a trial by jury was granted by Judge Hundrick on April 23. The trial was begun on June 22. ITALY AROUSED. By Report Austria Attempted to Make Separate Peace With Serbia.
