BULLETIN
New York, April 12.
Jury in Thaw case dis
agrees. The Judge dis
misses jury. The Jury
stood 7 to 5 for murder
in the first degree.
(Bulletin.)
New York, April . 12 When
Evelyn heard foreman of jury
announce his decision, ' she
rushed over to where Thaw
was sitting and throwing her
arms about his neck, wept
bitterly. Thaw took her in his
arms and tried to console her,
but to no avail. Her grief was
most pathetic and there was
not a dry eye in the court. Ev
en the stern Jerome wiped
away a tear.

The Disagreement by
the jurors and their dis
missal means that Thaw
must stand trial once
more for the murder of
Stanford White. There
is a division of opinion as
to who wins the laurels,
Jerome or Delmas. Del
mas kept Thaw from be
ing convicted, but Jerome
had the odds apparently
against him.
Disagreement Forecasted.
New York, April 12. Up to one
O'clock this afternoon there was no in
dication 'that the jury in the Thaw
tase was any nearer a verdict than it
tiad been for hours, and the patience
pf all connected with the case is being
forely tried. Appearances are that
Ho agreement will reached and that
this case, which has required weeks to
try nd has cost many thoxisands of
Collars, will come to naught. No
fuio believes the verdict will be mur
fler in the first degree.
At 7:33 the Thaw jury went out to
treakfast at the Broadway Central
aotel having been locked up since
midnight. As the jurors who have
been in continuous session for 38
fiours filed out of the building they
appeared haggard and distressed.
Bome of the jurors are apparently
bearing the limit of physical endur
ance. Juror Steele, who is regarded as be
ing the man largely responsible for
disagreement smiled at the newspaper
fcjen who were on hand to see the
jury leave as if to indicate there was
ven a longer wait in store for the reporters.
The jury returned to the criminal
ourt building at 9:13 and began their
Ittllbe rations.
How the Vote Now Stands.
At 10 o'clock this morning a persis
tant rumor floating about the court
kouse. which was given considerable
predence by both attorneys for defense
nd state, was that at that time the
xrj stood nine for conviction on man
daughter and three for acquittal.
Steele, Brearly and Bolton are said to
LTor acquittal. It is said that the
Itate's attorneys have given up hone
kf conviction in first degree murder
ut that Jerome expects to deal some
iort of punishment to the murderer,
I only to subdue his exaggerated ego.
Cost of Trial.
Thaw's trial has cost j.he state- egb
b thousand dollars. The Thaws are
laid to have epeur nbont two- mme'red
nd thirty five thousand. The women
f the Thaw party arrived at the court
it 10:23 and went to the Judge's!
Ihamber. .Evelyn appeared much re 1
keshed. i
Thaw Makes Statement. i
After the opeuing cf court. Thaw
ras brought over from t ho Tombs and I
Suraed his il! concealed, impatience f
ut?r me jury s lanure to come in.
Thaw gave out this statement: "I wish
the jury and ever yone else to under
stand that.no one despises a person
who carries concealed weapons more
than I. Only after my life was in
jeopardy, as I was informed by per
sons and as was communicated to me
by professional detectives, did I pro
tect myself. Then I employed Pinker
tons and they, could neither prove nor
disprove these statements, so I could
not be afforded the protection of law
When doubting my own judgment I
consulted an ex-chief of police, a man
respected in this community . and he
advised me my duty was to protect
myself. ;In this trial I wished my case
based solely, and simply, on -the Jaw. of
the state and upon the evidence which
had to convince, not only as I reviewed
and inquired into all the evidence, but
also the district attorney . that, I am
innocent under the written laws '" of
state." - . , . . -. .
The jury was ordered to eat lunch:
eon in the room and court took a re
cess until 2 p. m.
Remarkable Demonstration.
A most remarkable demonstration
was given the elder . Mrs. Thaw and
Evelyn as they left the building for
lunch. Thousands upon thousands of
working men and women gathered in
Lafayette street to cheer them and
they did so frantically. It was the
most remarkable demonstration of its
kind ever seen here
ARCH MOTT. MEETING

Arch Mott, a former Richmond
young man and. a former student of
the: Richmond ' Business- College, is

work. He has been employed for some
time as' bookkeeper for the wholesale

REV. W. H. PIERCE HAS
MADE AFINE RECORD
Hagerstown Anxious to Have
Him Returned.
FIGURES ON HIS WORK.
WILLIAM TRAVERS JEROME.
Hagerstown, Ind., April 12. ReV.
W. H. Pierce, of the M. E. church, has
given put for publication an interest
ing statement covering the history of
Hagerstown circuit during the past
conference year. This report reflects
credit on Rev. Pierce and the mem
bership of the circuit. The report
shows that Rev. Pierce preached 00
sermons during the year in the dis
charge of his regular ministerial en-
gagements. He also preached 19 fu
neral sermons; officiated at 2 wed
dings. He received into the church
by card 10 persons, on probation 8,
and four baptisms were performed.
He traveled 1,000 mles in the perform
ance of his pastoral work, which
means that he drove that distance in
going to and from his three preaching
places. Franklin. Losantville and Ha-
j,ri..iut ii. " r jjaoiuiai visits were
made during the year, and this is a
most excellent showing. The three
charges paid into the church in vari
ous ways, the following:
Hagerstown, S719.S7; PranMin.
$212.S3. Losantville, S57J.1S. Tola'.
$1,C3.0S.
It is remarkable that at Losantville
a four weeks' revival meeting was
held by Rev. Pierce, assisted by
Evangelist J. T. Hatfield. A three
weeks meeting with the same evan
gelist was held at Franklin. The two
charges, notwithstanding that they
are not very wealthy, paid more than
2no expenses for the meeting.
Taken as a whole, the showing made
by Rev. Pierce, is regarded as ex
tremely good. There is a very gen
eral desire that he be returned to this
place by the conference now in ses
sion at Logansport, where he is in attendance.

FROM HUSBAND.
"Praise God From Whom All Bless-1
ings Flow," was the keynote of the
great revival meeting Thursday
night at the East Main Street Friends
church, and as eighteen hundred peo
ple lifted their voices tuned to the old
familiar doxology, and gave expression
to the words of praise contained in the
four lines, it was most inspiring to
hear.
Early in the evening the people be
gan to arrive in crowds of a dozen or
more and later they were coming in
hundreds. Arrangements had been
made to use only the One half of the
great auditorium, but it was soon
apparent that the partition would
have to be lifted and the entire build-:
ing used. This occasioned some de-
lay in the beginning of the service, asj
it was the purpose to care for all who j
. . - , . . . . j
came. v un me one nan or tne
building crowded to the roof, for the
gallery was full, and with people
crowding into the aisles, it took about
fifteen minutes to get the overflow
seated In the east room. One fourth
of the section of the lower floor had
been reserved for the visiting delega
tions from New Castle and Centerviile,
the last car of which arrived at about
eight o'clock.
Music Was a Feature. -Just
then Mr. Lintt assumed charge
Patrick Merriman was fined $20 and
costs in the city court for giving liquor
to Mrs. Hazel Carter, a minor. He
was also charged with giving liquor to
Glen Newton, a minor and a cousin to
Mrs. Carter. Merriman plead guilty
to the first charge but entered a plea
of not guilty to the second. Judge
Converse found him not guilty of giv
ing Hiuor to young Xewton.
Mrs. Carter is sixteen years old,
the mother of a year-old child and is
separated from her husband. She re
sides with her mother, Mrs. Eva
White. Glen Xewton Is 16 years old
and he resides with Mrs. White. Mer
riman Is also a roomer at the White
home, which is located on South Sixth
street.
Last Saturday night, according to
the testimony of Mrs. Carter, she and
Merriman, while alone in the house.
began to indulge in beer for the pur
pose of idling away the hours. She
stated that Merriman rushed the can
to a saloon once and that she escorted
the "gTowler" twice. Merriman did
not give her the beer, Mrs. Carter
stated, but he placed the can that he
brought from the saloon in 6uch a po
sition that she would have no trouble
in helping herself to the contents.
Disturbance Next Feature.
Later in the evening Glen Newton
came home and spying the "suds" that
Merriman had purchased; helped him
self to the beverage. Sirs. Carter stat-! tion platform
ed that at this time she vas "allriglrt"
but that later on she . as "not all- j
right." Chief Bailey states that a dis-!
turbance was created at tlie White
home owing to the amount of bops
consumed and Mrs. Carter raid Mer-
Miss Goldie Danner entered the Pat-
I Iadium and Sun Telegram Jamestown
contest today and the way In which
her friends am already working makes
her chances of putting up a good raco
very bright. Miss Danner comes into
the (Contest with 2,000 votes. A ioint
was raised in Miss Danner's case
which the paper desires to make jlain
to the public. One of the candidates
who dropped out of the race wanted to
know. If her votes could be transferred
to the credit of Miss Danner. The re
quest was refused. Throwing of votes
from one candidate to another cannot
be permitted.. It would bo unfair to
the others Interested In the race. If
a candidate drops out he must drop
his votes as well.
Pull for Prof. Brunson.
vThe teachers race continues to hi
Interesting. An enthusiastic youth
was in the Palladium and Sun Tch
gram office . this morning to tell of
Prof. Brunson's prospects, "lie
goin to win," the youngster faid,
"cause all us boys are go'ln to work
for him. Hfc'B our physical director
you know and they ain't nothing we
wouldn't do for him."
Prof. Brunson takes a class of boys
from the Garfield on cross country
runs and works with them in other
athletic exercises. The lads are very
enthusiastic about this work and for
that reason they are "plugging" lard
for Prof. Brunson. Being an athlete
of much ability Prof. Brunson natur
ally is very popular with the boys and
for this reason he will stand a splen
did chance in the contest. Prof.
Brunson. or any other teacher for that
matter, will have to have loyal sup
porters, however, if Prof. Jos. Richter
is beaten in the race for he has the
entire student body at St.' Andrews
school working for him.
Support from Fountain City.
The support for Fred Reynolds, the
Starr Piano employe, does not fceem
to be confined to Richmond. Today he
received seven votes which were sent
in from Fountain City. Mr. Reynolds
has many warm friends in all parts of
the county and Jf he decides to make
an active canvass for tho prize be
would certainly stand a good show.
William Russel has a city wide ac
quaintance and is sure to make a
hard fight as he willjbave the loyal
support of his own place of work, the
Hoosier Drill.
Caution should be exercised by vot
ers so as not to lose the right to vote
the first ballot which appeared. It
expires next Monday at five o'clock.
The rule about the time ballots expire
will be rigidly enforced and voters
should be careful to get their ballots
into the office on time. .
