Shadow of Indictment Is
Over Men of Home

KNIGHT IS RETAINED
He Admits Having Told
Torrance and Adams
Not to Testify
SHOW THEIR WORRY
Los Angeles Capitalists Lose
Their Confident Air of
First Days
As a result of their two recent yisits
to San Francisco three Los Angeles
millionaires are badly scared citizens.
A. B. Cass, president of the Home
Telephone Company of Los Angeles;
J. S. Torrance, financial backer of the
corporation, and J. H. Adams of the
Adams-Phillips Company, have been
forced. to look the inevitable in the face
and admit to, themselves that despite
anything they or their money can do
they are to be indicted by the; San
Francisco Grand Jury.
As was stated yesterday In The Call,
the refusal of Adams and Torrance to
testify before the Grand Jury. Thursday,
wh«n they were called to -the- witness
stand for a second time, was due to the
advice of counsel, secured after their
first appearance before the local In
quisitorial board. Attorney George A.
Knight of the San Francisco firm of
Knight & Heggerty admitted yesterday
that he has been retained to represent
the Home Telephone Company officials
of Los Angeles and that their refusal to
testify was due to his advice.
When Torrance and Adams were
called before the Grand Jury Thursday
they realized that they were face to
face with a dilemma from which no
amount of craftily constructed testi
mony would serve to free them. To go
further with the testimony, of which
they had already given a part, meant
that they would surely Incriminate
themselves; to do otherwise meant that
they would Invite an indictment on
charges of perjury. The result was the
refusal of both to give further testl- _
mony and the accompanying admission
that to do 60 might Incriminate them
selves. r V * - V
STRAIXSHOWS OX THEM
There was a great change in the
manner of both Adams and Torrance
Thursday as contrasted to their exhi
bition of confidence at' the time of. their
previous appearance, before the Grand
Jury. Both showed that the strain of
the last few days had told* on them;
both were nervous; both had lost that
complete self-possession which marked
them after' their former "ordeaL They
were anxious only to follow out legal
Instructions and., get away from the
: presence of' the grand Jurors as Qulck
>]y as possible. ..' . . ; \u25a0
Cass, too, has shared the unrest of
j his fellow magnates. He was . not
i called, to. the .witness, stand Thursday
; merely because it was ! realized after
! Adams and Torrance had made their
statements that Cass was prepared to
make a similar move, and the Grand
Jury desired, before hearing this re
fusal to testify, to collect certain links
of evidence through other chanels.
Cass was notified that his presence
before the Grand Jury would be re-
Vjuired today, and has remained in' San
Francisco. Adams and Torrance also
remained In the city yesterday,- but
n-ithout as good a reason for doing so,
«md it is believed that their prolonged
ftay. was actuated by -.the same mo
tives' which Induced President Patrick
Calhoiin of the* United Railroads to
come here from New York — that they
might be on the scene of action to ar
range for bail bonds and avoid the pos
sibility of undergoing the ignominy of
an 'arrest -at a distance. •
KNIGHT ISSUES STATEMENT
Attorney" George A. .Knight admitted
yesterday that be has: already been re
tained to, defend Cass, Torrance 'and
Adams, and that he made a trip to Los
.Angeles a few; days ago to discuss ; mat
ters with, them and arrange the
•method which they were' to adopt when

Seven Jurors Would Convict
White's Slayer of Murder
Ifive Stand Firm for Acquittal on
Ground of Prisoner's Insanity
-{" .NEW, YORK, April : 12.— Hopelessly divided — seven, for a ver
dict of guilty of murder in the first degree and five for % acquittal
on the ground of insanity — the. jury which since January lZ lasfhad
been trying Harry K. Thaw reported today, after forty-seven hours
and eight minutes of deliberation, that it could not possibly agree
on a verdict. - ' \u25a0 ~ •
The twelve men were promptly discharged by Justice Fitzger
ald, wiio declared that he, too, believed that their task was hope
less.- Thaw was remanded to the Tombs without bail to await a
second trial on the charge of. having murdered Stanford White.
When this new trial would take place no one could tonight
express an opinion. District- Attorney Jerome declared that there
were many other persons accused of homicide awaiting trial, and
Thaw would have to take his.turn with the rest. As to a possible
change of venue, both the District Attorney and counsel for Thaw
declared they would make no move.
.Thaw's attorneys will have a conference tomorrow with the
prisoner.to decide on their next step. They may make an early
'application for : bail. said he would strenuously oppose it.
He'added the belief that is seven of the jurors had voted for
"guilty" his opposition probably would be successful.
: ;In \that. event /Thaw has another long summer before him in
the city, prison, for his. case on the already crowded calendar cannot
possibly be reached until some time next fall.
The scenes attending\the announcement by the jury of its
inability to agree were robbed of dramatic interest by the general
belief that after their! long deliberation and the reports of a wide
division of sentiment: the jurors could make no other report than
Thaw j~ surrounded by the members of his family, received the
news; in absolute silence. - When it became known that the jury
was; about: to make its report Thaw called his wife to a seat by his
side; and sat with, his right arm thrown about her until he was
commanded to stand and face the jurors. Smiling and confident
when; he entered the courtroom, he sank limply into his chair when
Foreman Demingß; Smith, in response to a question by Clerk
Penny as to the Jury had
agreedlupon a verdict, said: .
. "We have not."
WIFE TRIES TO CHEER THAW
The : mother, her features hidden be
hind •a . dense- veil lof black, . sat . stolid
and motionless. • In 111 \u25a0 health . of late,
she had felt .the strain of lons hours'
waiting and anxiety. .The wife grasped
her husband's^ hand tightly as the Jury
spoke,- and then,- when he sank down
by her side, she tried • to cheer him as
best she could by saying. .that she be
lieved Jhe j; would -be. admitted to_ bail
and a^second jury would surely set him
free. -.The Smother, i the . sister and , the
brothers,. pale and well-nigh exhausted
by [their itediou% nerve-racking wait
for; a ,verdlct,\,were permitted 1 to , speak
with Thaw for. a -few moments to bid
him be of good cheer before he crossed
the ; Bridge ' of * Sighs to the cell which
until -a few- minutes \ b«f ore .-' he had
hoped that hewaa about to quit .for
. \u0084^ - ii \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0 \u25a0 \u25a0 - *" \u25a0•\u25a0-\u25a0\u25a0•*'

".'/Outsider:;'' the .big - square Criminal
Courts -building:only a' few "hundred
persons were" gathered." \Thousands'had
been there earlier , in V the day, but [ po
lice j. reinforcements had . arrived with
Instructions . to keep every, one t moving,
and this \u25a0'' had soon tired the Idle/ and
'curious into. a willingness, to .depart.
/The cburtroonj itself was half empty.
Only the.newspapermen, the court at
taches : and r a. few/ favored friends v were
allowed : .to"f enter " to hear the verdict.
Justice Fitzgerald feared a-demonstra
tion, of. some sort should the general
public be adniitted,/andfiie^save strict
orders against this. • -.
"jit 5 - was ; 4:25 o'clock ;when the jury
filed: into the courtroom/ Harry Thaw
had"; been .'waiting' for a" summons ."to
face the. jurors ever since shortly "after
\u25a010 '.o'clock Uhis. morning.; He felt that
today^ would bring \u25a0 a crisis,' and * that
either a would be reached or
Justice r Fitzgerald 'would. discharge the
jurors^ from -any further consideration
of the; case. ' '
This > was ".the general .and the
only, remarkable V feature of the case
was .the' dogged manner In .which the*
jurors' continued; at^their'task and- de
'clfned ito • ask \u25a0] to be (excused.

followed a- hunt for. counsel, both Dis
trict Attorney Jerome • and the attor
neys for the defense having temporar
ily left the building.
When they arrived Justice Fitzgerald
notified them of the jury's communica
tion that a . disagreement seemed/. ln-
evitable. Every one connected with
the case seemed willing to accept the
situation as offering no hope and then
followed the brief courtroom proceed
ings at which the disagreement was
publicly announced, the* Jury . dismissed
and the prisoner remanded. The Jury '
entered the* courtroom .at 4:25 p. m.
and ; was " free \u25a0'. eight . minutes later.
Thaw, when he had returned to the
Tombs, gave out the following state
ment:
. '1 believe. that every man in the jury
possessing average Intelligence, ex
cepting possibly Mr. Bolton," compre
hended the weight of evidence and bal
anced It for acquittal. 3 All of my fam
ily ; bade me good-by courage. - X
trust we may keep well."
THAW.- DISAPPOINTED
To hl3 attorneys Thaw said he was
deeply disappointed."
I 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 had .\u25a0
desired that his fate "should* be Judged*
on the * '.'written laws of the " State ot •
New York." He, t^jclared that he be
lieved the evidence adduced had con
vinced even District Attorney Jeromo
ofMiis Innocence under the strict letter
of the law.
Attorney Delphin M. Delmas. who
conducted Thaw's case in court and
who. In making his summing-up "ad
dress to the Jury applied almost direct
ly, to the "unwritten law" or "dementia
Americana," 'as he termed. It, was not
in ;" court* today when the jury made Its
report and .was _
Clifford W. Hartridge. the attorney
of record and warm personal friend of
Thaw', gave the following statement
to the Press:
