During the brief morning session, when Bolton had taken his place in | the box, Thaw fixed the juror with his gaze as he entered. It was not a stare | of curiosity or concern as to -his own | welfafe that the defendant hurned on the juryman, but there seemed rather to be a light of sympathy in the eyes | of the man accused of murder. Dr. Britton D. Evans was called when | court convened to continue his direct | testimony for the defendant. The wit- ness was asked to detail the conversa- tions he had had on various occasions with Thaw in the Tombs. Dr. Evans was about to detail the | events of his first visit, on August 4, | when the summons for juryman Bolton | came. Mrs. Bolton was then being kept alive only by the use of oxygen. | In releasing the jurors at the after- | noon session, Justice Fitzgerald took pains to state that the rule keeping them together had not been adopted on the separate recommendation of either side, but was the result of an agree- ment based on reasons which appeared excellent alike to the Interests of the defendant and the people. There was intended not the slightest reflection on the jury ip any way. It would have been well, Justice Fitz- gerald said, if the rule could have been adbered to until the close of the trial, but the sad incident had brought about a condition which must be confronted. In announcing the adjournment until Monday Justice Fitzgerald expressed the hope that the trial might eventual- ly proceed. He realized, however, that that would depend largely on the condi- RTIST ROHRHAND OF THE TIME WHEN, AT THE AGE D WHITE. N T O STANFOR! ENTS DIEUSS | f Ut !
