On reaching the Jury room, over the court room at 6:23 p. m. Wedneeday the member* of the jury assembled about the lone table In the renter of the room, each taking the him rela tive position he had occupied at the dining table In the hotel and with Foreman Denting B. Smith at the head and Juror Bernard Gerstman. No. 11, at the oppoelte end of the table. "Gentlemen." eaid Foreman Smith, very solemnly, "we had beat proceed to this matter In a parliamentary man ner, ao aa to avoid poaalble confusion. So, If then I* no objection, that will be the rule and I will preside." Juror Ask* for Prayer. "Juat a moment. If you please, Mr. Foreman," apok* up one Juror, "this I* a most serious matter, on which de pends the life of a fellow, man. I be Have we should have Divine guidance and I suggest that ws devoutly ask the assistance of the Almighty God -In our deliberations that we may do no man a wrong and that we may faith fully >z*eut* the great trust which has been placed In us " For n moment then was silence. Then the foreman said: "There seems to be no objection, so the gentlemen making the suggestion will lead us In pnyer.” While the jurors were standing, the Juror uttered a brief but very devout supplication and aa. he said "Amen" the twelve men sat down. "W« may all be of one mind," sold Foreman Smith, “so that It will not New York, April I*.—Charles Fecke, i whatever Is said, will be forgotten when the third juror In the Thaw case, has we an discharged.

Juror 8t**le Praises Evelyn. "Along this line. I wish to say some thing," said Mr. Gerstman. ‘This ha* been a very long trial and one very expensive to the taxpayers of the city. It has clogged the courts and kept other offenders from being tried when they were entitled to trial. I believe that we all ought to agree right now not to ask for discharge, although we may not think we can agree—possibly —but to keep working conscientiously at It until the court voluntarily relieves us. But I believe that may not be nec essary. We shall probably And a ver dict after a little more enlightenment." Most of the Jurors said that was sat isfactory to them, and they buckled down to the cose again with the de termination to stick to It until a con clusion waa reached. Mr. Steele .con tinued his warm appreciation of Mrs. Thaw's sacrifice and waa praising her highly as a modern heroine. This aroused the Ire of Mr. Fecke, who rose from his seat, addressing the foreman first, and then delivered a masterful oration on the case. Mr. Fecke declared the Jury had no business considering the testimony of experts, the story of Evelyn Thaw or other extraneous mat ters. Question of Insanity. "We have to deal with the on* soli tary fact: Was Harry Thaw sane or In sane at the time he killed Btunford White?" he said. "1 contend that he waa snne. He went armed to the garden that night and If nothing else shows deliberation I will point to the fact that In his hip pocket he had a pistol holster and In his overcoat he had the revolver when he killed White. He must have gone to a dark place and slipped the gun from the hip pocket to the Over coat pocket. That shows deliberation.” Hers Mr. Steele spoke again, saying that the letters of Thaw In exhibits A to I showed beyond doubt that Thaw was of unsound mind. "That state of mind did not exist un til Evelyn Nesblt told him her terrible story," he said. “As to that story,” said Pfaff, "I do not believe that she could have told him all she said she did at the one time she said she did. I am not Inclined to be lieve It." Nearly Cam* to Blows. The second ballot resulted the samo os the Arst. The discussion was then renewed nnd was kept up all night. There was on* lounge in the mom. The Jurors took turns lying on this and during the night each got a little sleep, but not much—not more than nn hour. The others dosed In their chairs." The first night Juror Pfaff and Juror Steele came near having a fight. Steel-' mistook a statement made by Pfnff os Intimating that Steele hod been un duly Influenced. Steele called PfufT it choice collection of names. Other Jurors parted them. Other Ballots Taksn. Other ballots taken were: Third ballot. April 11, 11:16 a in., .same as second. Fourth ballot, April 11, 6 p. m„ show, ed seven for murder In first degree, on* manslaughter In first degree and four for acquittal, Brearley changing to manslaughter. Fifth ballot, April 11, 6:46 p. m.. stood one for murder In first degree, six for manslaughter In llrst degree and five for ucqulttal. Sixth ballot. April 11, 9:10 same. Seventh ballot, April 12, 12:20 p. m„ same. Eighth ballot. April 12. 1:16 p. m.. showed seven for murder In the first degree and five for acqulttul. For con viction were: Foreman Smith, Pfaff, Fecke, Breitrly, Newton. Bolton. Gerst- mnn: acquittal,. Pink, lloVney, Fraser, Steele and Dennle. fo determine our Idlvldual opinions at th* present time, we will now take a ballot, with the under standing that the first ballot Is straw and merely Inended to Indicate to us how w* stand." Each juror then wrote on a small slip of paper before him the verdict which he favored. These were placed In a hat which was passed around and when It returned the twelve votes were counted by Me Smith, assisted by Juror Pfaff, who sat at his right and acted as a sort of clerk In the par liamentary proceedings. This ballot Indicated this result: For murder In the first degree: Messrs. Smith, Pfaff, Brearley, New ton, Bolton. Gerstman. For manslaughter In the first de gree: Mr. Fecke and Mr. Dennee. For acquittal on the ground of Insan ity: Messrs. Harney, Fraser, Pink arid Steele. As soon as the result wan announced Mr. Feck* and Mr. Steel announced that they wished to change thqlr bal lots to murder In the first degny. say ing they had written down th* man slaughter verdict as a suggestion for a basis of compromise. If such was found necessary. That ballot was taken at 6:ll'p. m., a little leas than ten minutes after the Jury had retired. It showed the lines were drawn strongly at eight for con viction and four for acquittal. "Well, ru have to nave more evl- dence, or a better understanding of It before 1 can conscientiously change my ballot,” sold one of the elderly Jurors. He had voted for a murder verdict. Mr. Steele, of the minority, replied and pointed with considerable praise to the noble sacrifice Evelyn Nesblt Thaw hod made. He said It was suftlclrnt to turn any man's mind and make him crasy enough to kill the man who had wrought such Injury. Tills was scoffed at by several of the majority and In a few minutes, when matters looked very warm. Foreman Smith arose nnd said: “Gentlemen, 1 see that we are to have some difficulty In arriving at a unanimous conclusion. It may take us some time, but I believe we are all level-headed enough to see that there Is a chance for a verdict. Now, 1 sug gest that whatever Is done In this room.

London, April 13.—Just as Paris 'a rejoicing In her new toy, the women cab drivers, London is vastly pleased with her taximeter motor cabs, which are in several ways a vakt Improve ment on the old hansom. They are smart-looking machines. Pointed crimson-lake, with the chauf-, feur In a bright bluo liver} - . Looking something like private motor landaus, they glide about the streets safer and quicker than tho horsed cab. while the fare la automatically shown on n dial, which prevents the cldsslc dispute be tween the cabmffn and his fare. Although, on the whole, the fares aro dearer, there Is a minimum of 3 pence (Id cen(s) Instead of the shilling (25 cents) charged by ordinary cabbies, who abuse one If they don't get some thing more. Drivers of taximeter cabs are earn ing "good money,” In spite of the measuring of runs. They are much In demand and get generous Ups. One driver took an officer from London to Aldershot for 126, making 36.60 for himself out.of the Job. A horse race with lad}' Jockeys wj* run at Frlsby, Leicestershire, In the famous Melton Mowbray hunting dls trlct. It was n match between Mrs. F. II. Durlocher nnd Mrs. G. W. Hlllyard. the enthusiastic followers of the Quorn hounds, over a two-mlle course on the flat, nnd was run before the meet of the Quorn hounds. Mrs. Durlacher was the winner, lead In* all the way, nnd coming home a tong distance ahead of her rival. • In full evening dress, the body of Sir James Colquhoun, pronounced Cohoon, has been hurled at Luss. Dumbarton shire, Scotland. It was In accordance with the baronet’s will that he was lnl-1 to rest In such unconventional grave clothes, the document stating that he wished to be burled In evening dress In a plain oak coffin “so that those who cared for me during life might sec me for the last time.” Sir James wns chief of the clan Cdlquhoun, and the twelfth holder of u baronetcy created In 1626. He was a Scottish laird of the old type, and hl< pel aversion wero the tourists who swurmeil over his beautiful estate In the holiday season. He literally drove the Sunday "trippers” off hla land when they Invaded It from steamers on the locli. "I went without my dinner today in order to be able 4o buy a new- pair of gloves." said a young elegant at the court of the Second Empire. Now adays to go wltbaut u dinner would not suffice: It would be necessary to go without one's dinner, supper and break fast to buy gloves, so dear have they become In this city. At this lime of the year In Paris It Is customary for ull the big stores to make a Kpectal sale of gloves anil other dalniy articles, but this year a great and disagreeable eurprlse await ed the fair purchasers, and they are disconsolate. . For several year.i an augumentatlon In the price of this article has been noticed, but this year the Parlxlenne elegante Is miking herself how she Is to go properly gloved If she lias to pay such prices for her gloves nnd how she Is to get the wherewithal to supply her.

This deplorable state of things has been caused by the ever-increasing de mand there Is for leather ns garments for nutomnblllsts, for upholstering lux urious oars. etc. Added to this others besides motorists are using leather as a means of clothing. At the Marche de Fleurs at the Mad eleine the other day It was noticed that nearly all the women sellers wore leather bodices or leather Jackets. They have learned from the motorist that leather Is one of the best materials for keeping out the cold and damp. But this Is sending up the price of leather by leaps and bounds, nnd people are asking themselves wliat they ore to’ do now when the price or gloves has become so high that nobody but Amer icans can afford to buy.

In • document filled with charges of desertion and misconduct, Mrs. J. L. Gale Friday afternoon filed answer to the suit for divorce Instituted by her husband. Dr. Frank P. Gale, a dentist In the Inman building, several weeks n»o. In the first place, Mrs. Gale de clares that tbelr removal to Atlanta from Brunswick In 1833 was due partly to Ihe yellow fever epidemic and part ly to the fact that Dr. Gale had "talked himself ou( of prartlee," and woe great ly In debt: The petition for divorce filed by Dr. Gale was- quite a lengthy documenL and in her answer Mrs. Gale style* It a "howling wilderness of false, childish, ridiculous and Irrelevant allegations.” She charges that during their residence In Brunswick she was compelled to take In sewing to help support the fam ily In addition ot performing all her household duties. Upon one occasion she charges Dr. Gale demanded that she give him $4,000 which belonged to her children, declar ing that If she did not do so he would "force her out of Atlanta If he had to starve her." "He also failed to pro vide shoes for hla own son," continues the answer, "and a* a result the feet of hla eon ore deformed." Mrs. Gale further charges that since they have been In Atlanta Dr. Gale has treated her children In a rough and cruel manner, "nn one occasion go ing so far as to choke and beat his own daughter while she was kneeling at defendant's bedside trying to soothe and console defendant's anguish, brought on by plaintiff's Inhuman con. duct." Mrs. Gale chnrges that on one occa sion tier husband allowed her to lie upon the bath room floor four hours while she was a paralytic, and while she waa helpless and unable to defend herself, tortured her by pinching her and sticking her with pins. She charges further that upon another occasion, while lie waa treating her for itn ab scessed tooth, he became violently an gry and tied her hands to the back of a chair/ keeping her In that position until ha waa ordered to release her by .Mrs. Gale's mothsr. Friends of Qr. Gale express the opin ion that the charges against him are largely the result of Mrs. Gale's highly nervous condition, which Is ssld.to be bordering on hysteria.
