THE wrATMBR—FAIR TONIGHT AND
SUNDAY; CONTINUfO COLD.
Jury Deliberates Nearly 24 Hours—Vetdict Stuns
Both Thaw and Evelyn—Scenes in the Courtroom
—Possibility of Early Release.
(By United Press.)
NEW YORK, Fab. I.—This after
noon Attorney Littleton appeared
before Juitice Dowllng and argued
eloquently for a writ of habeas cor
pus, In an attempt to have Oowling
commit Thaw to a private asylum
Instead of Matteawan. The pr»i
tion failed, and Thaw will have to
go to Mjtteawan.
There was a touching reunion be
tween Thaw and Mi wife in the j
ante room jutt outetde the entrance
to the Bridge of Sighs, according
to court officer*. At toon ac she
•MM Into the gallery Evelyn threw
herself into her hueband'e arm* and
sobbed: "My Cod, Harry, they
knew best, but I want you with me
—oh, how I want you!"
The real facte In the jury room
proceedings seem as follows: On
the first ballot last night the vote
stood eight foi acquittal and four
for conviction. After dinner an
other ballot resulted: Acquittal
ten, conviction two. This stood
throughout the night. Finally, be
fore breakfast today, anothsr went
over, but the last man's scruples
couid not be overcome. On the last
ballot it stood eleven for acquittal
and one for conviction.
After a conference between Little
ton, O'Reilly and Peabody, Justice
| Oewllng was notified that counsel
for the defense would not oppose
I tha order committing Thaw to Mat
' teawan. Thaw's wife and brother
also participated in the conference.
The prisoner will be taken to the
asylum en the 4: 39 p. m. New York
Central trsln.
It is possible that proceedings to
••cure Thiw'i freedom will begin
Immediately after the doors of the
•tylum closa upon him, and this is
understood to be, the; plan of the
counsel.
