Bolton, one of the jurors in the Thaw case, died yesterday and the trial was brought to a sudden halt.

There followed a hurried conference between the lawyers and the court. Not by audible word or'gesture or glance was there any indication of the subject under discussion. . Yet that mysterious telepathy which so often presages the news of death was in the very air of the courtroom. From his seat Juror Bolton leaned forward in haggard attention. A court officer went to the door of the jury box. without any summons. He looked suddenly old and bent. +|was a quick, eager query. Bol- ton was to come at once, said the officer; his wife’s illness had taken a sharp for the worse. Accompanied by Juror yHarney he left the court for his home on the Boston road. Be- fore he had reached there Mrs. Bolton had died. Court imme- diately adjourned, although announcement - of the death made. Harry Thaw was stunned by | the sudden adjournment and the possibility- of a mistrial. Taken | back to his cell in the Tombs | he_gave way to such despair that ihis young wife. was hurriedly * — Bolton rose There turn no was L 2 sent for to quiet him. With the reconvening at 2 o'clock District 2.ttorney Je sme addressed the court briefly and announcel Mrs. Bolton’s death ‘To the other jurors the tragedy in the life of ene of their number brought release, and it was determined, in conference of the lawyers, 2 {to put an end to their imprisonment and permit each to go free, upon honor, until the trial should be resumed and from then on till the end. There will be no mistrial unless Mr. Bolton should be so broken down as to be unable to command his faculties when the case is resumed. It was continued to Monday. It is said tonight that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw’s brother, Howard Nesbit, and his mother, Mrs. Charles J. Holman, will probably go on the witness stand to rebut the story told by Harry Thaw's wife. Another witness in the person of Mazie Follette, the actress, will be called by the prosecution. Miss Follette has told the Dis- trict Attorney that Stanford White was an entirely different kind of a man' from what Evelyn Thaw would have the jury under- stand he was. The death of Juror Bolton’s wife had a depressing effect on every one connected with the trial. The prisoner seemed to feel the matter keenly when he was brought into court to hear the formal announcemént of a postpone- / ment. .
