New York, April 11.—The fact that the Thaw Jury this morning naked to see the exhibits In the case caused many to believe that a verdict of some kind was near at hand. Up to that time nearly everyone'expected z dls- agreement. The fact that the Jury had requested nothing but the testimony bearing on the facts of the shooting seemed to In dicate that he men had already made up their mind as to the existence of a motive, but that they had been unable to determine what degree of homicide had been committed. The testimony of Evelyn Tltaw was read to the Jury. Thaw Has Newspapers, The entire Thaw family arrived at 10:20 a. m. They came In automo biles. .Mrs. William Thaw looked ex tremely well, but there were traces of anxiety In the pale face of young Mrs, Thaw.

Foreman Wants Originals, The district attorney went Into his big valise and dug out the typewritten i "ides of the letters. Demlng C. Smith, the foreman of the Jury, rose and made thu announcement: "We would rather. If It la convenient t« the court, to have the originals of these letters.' "We have nothing but the typewrit ten copies.” said Jerome. The court gave the six sets of exhib its asked for and then said: "The Jury also asks that the direct testimony of Meyer Cohen be read.' This was done. Cohan said he had seep Thaw on the roof garden during 'lie first act of the play, "M’lle Cham pagne.” "I was In the rear of the sixth row, almost In the center aisle, when I first '■tw Thaw." said Cohen when he testl- "There appeared to me that there JEROME WANTS ACQUITTAL RATHER THAN A MISTRIAL New York, April 11!—District Attorney Jerome would rather that the Thaw Jury bring In a verdict of acquittal than make a mistrial.

Bryan last night finder the auspices of the Bryan Anni versary Cluli developed an Incident not down on the carefully prepared pro gram, wllch did not cease to be a sen sation when the curtain had been final ly rung down upon the banquet scene. It cams In the shape of opposition from certain members-of the commit tee on arrangements to a part of tho speech of Hon. John Temple Graves. In which he called upon Mr. Bryan to nominate Mr. Roosevelt for u third term in the presidency at the next na tional Democratic convention. Up to the time of Mr. Bryan's ar rival In the banquet hoik the affair promised to baffle all efforts at an adjustment, and owing to the ultltude of the committee In Its opposition to his proposed speech, Mr. Graves, after addressing u courteous note to i'. A. Hood, president of the club, had with drawn from the hall and had gone to the station preparatory to returning to Atlanta. DIAMONDS OF "DU BARRY” ARE STOLEN FROM HER CAR Mrs. Leslie Carter Lost Valuable Jewels. Mrs. Leslie.Carter's private car. "Halsmere," was robbed of 11,000 worth of diamonds nnd Jewelry Wed nesday afternoon while the actress was at the Grand playing "DuBarry." Loss of the property was reported to the police, anil they are now working on the case. There Is no clew to tin robber. When Mrs. Leslle-Carter re turned from the matinee performance she discovered her loss. The "Halsmere” was parked Just out side the Terminal station shed. It Is probable that none of the regular occu pants was on the car when the rob bery occurred except tho negro cook. The list includes diamond brooches, gold chain purses, pearls and other ar ticles cf personal adornment. The sum of $83 In money was also taken. , Most of her jewelry was used by Mi*.

When told of the question that had arisen, he promptly expressed the desire that Mr. Graves be sent for and requested to de liver the speech ss he had Inte nded; The Georgian was thereupon hurriedly hunted up and he returned to tho ban quet hall. Given Courteous Treatment. Press dispatches sent out from Chat tanooga Wednesday evening to the morning papers Implied (hat Graves was given discourteous treat ment. The straight unvarnished truth of the meeting and events leading up to It will utterly discredit Jhat Impres sion. Mr. Gravel was asked by the llearst News Service, the Publishers' Press Association and the Associated Press fur copies oT his speech In advance, as Is the custom In all such occasions. The request was courteously complied with, and copies were moiled out to all the leading clients of the newsgathering organisations. . It was to lot held in strict confidence for release to morn Ing papers of April 11- Spssch Had Leaked Out. When Mr. Gravee reached L'hatla nooga at 1 o'clock Wedneaday after noun, he wae met by members of the local committee and two or three out siders. He found that not only the committee, but a large part of Chat tanooga knew the purport of his speech, and the whole city was agog over It, Hon- It leaked out Is not known, but It Is not believed that It was given out In advance by any paper. Three members of the committee— ultra Bryun men—urged Mr. Graves that he leave out that part of his speech which asked Mr. Bryan to nominate Roosevelt. The Atlanta editor ilsten- ed to them courteouely, and replied 'Gentlemen, 1 am In the attitude of an Invited guest. As an Invited guest I could not say aught that was dis tasteful to my hosts. I will simply be a loyal attendant at the banquet and listen to the speeches of others. "But In the light of circumstances, my speech having gone out to all the leading pipers In Ihe country, I can not withdraw It from publication this Iasi hour. I shall at least refrain from its delivery here. His Honest Convictions. In admiration of Mr. Bryan, In al legiance to Democratic principles, I yield to no njan. But I voice my honest convictions In my speech. In no other way can great reforms under way reach consummation nor Democracy reach ultimate triumph. I did not go East or West Into the enemy's country to make this speech. I did mR seek an occasion when Mr. Bryun was absent, but here among my own people. In our >wn Democratic councils, with the peerless leader present to approve or condemn, I have chosen the only manly way and the only opan place for a bold and honest proposition.” With matters In this shape Mr. Graves went to the banquet hull with the simple Intention of being a s|iec- tutor. It was near 10 o'clock when Mr. Bryan came Into the hull. Shortly thereafter Mr. Graves quietly withdrew and went to the station with the view of returning to Atlanta. Mr. Btyan asked the reason for the withdrawal, and wheh Informed of the facts cor dially Insisted that Mr. Graves be sent fpr anil thatBie deliver his speech. Bryan Callsd for Graves. "I want to hear It." he said. "I know him to lie a man of conviction and con.ON CROP IS RUINED; FRUII BADLY DAMAGED; APRIL RECORD BROKEN Growing crops In middle and South. Georgia, kitchen nnd market gardens all over the state and the fruit crop In Gem-gla have been badly Injured by the cold und frost of the past few days, according to Agricultural CommIsslpn- er Hudson. Colonel Hudson estimates the dam age to cotton south of Fort Valley at near 5# per cent. Of the cotton that Is up he believes not less than 25 per cent is killed and that 25 per cent not yet up will not mature, or If It does that the plant will die soon after com ing nut of the ground. , "A larger per rent of cotton Is plant ed In South Georgia than 1 ever saw this early.” said Colonel Hudson. "The pretty warm weather of March Induced the early planting, and now great harm has been done. About 50 per cent nt the crop down there has been planted. "Market and kitchen gardens have been killed out; corn nipped nnd put bark, but that will not seriously harm It, as the plant will put out again; oats and other grain Is hurt; cantaloupes und watermelons have all been killed, anil repluntlng will be necessary. "It is difficult to state how seriously the fruit crop has been damaged. The high - winds have beaten the limbs about until a great deal of the fruit, has been thrashed off and more of It will fall off. I am afraid the petn-.i crop wilt he very short In Georgia this year.". All records at the weather bureau were broken Wednesday night, when the temperature went to 32 decree* - freezing. This Is the coldest weather for April 10 on record here.
