Ga., April 11.—Colum bus will make an earnest effort to have the proposed Samuel Spencer memorial hospital located in this city. Columbus Is the native city of the late president of the Southern Railway, and it is urged that this Is the most appropriate location for such a memorial. Then, again, Columbus happens to be in position to make a substantial donation to the memorial fund in case the trustees should decide to locate the hospital here. This city Is preparing to build a new hospital, and it is sug- gected that if the Spencer memorial hospital be located here, the munici pality join hands with the trustees of the fund and erect a building that would be an entirely suitable memorial to the great Southern Railroad gen ius. and at the same time a credit to the city of Columbus. Columbus could offer a site for the hospital and a sub stantial sum in money, owing to the fact that the city is preparing to make a hospital investment, anyhow. It is not known that any other municipality would be in position to make such an offer as this to the trustees of the fund.

Such was tho condition of affairs at 11:40 o'clock tonight, when tho Thaw jury was ordered locked up for a sec ond night at the Criminal Courts build ing. The fact that they had not been able to agree after devoting so much time to a study and discussion of the case has given rise to the belief that the trial will end In a disagreement and the whole affair will have to be gone over again. Although the twelve men have thus far failed to reach a common opinion and to all appearance are hopelessly at sea, Justice Fitzgerald has not given up hope of having a verdict rendered. As yet, Deming B. Smith, foreman of the jury, has not complained to court reach a decision and until ho docs it is not likely that Justice Fitzgerald will discharge them. The impression prevails that if tho twelve men are un able to agree at the expiration of for ty-eight hours they will be released from further service. The very fact, however, that no Intimation has been received from the Jury room that the men are unable to agree is construed by many who have followed the pro ceedings closely as an indication that a verdict will eventually be reached. The mother, wife and the two sisters and brother of the defendant were in the Criminal Courts building up to tho last minute and when it was finally- an nounced that the jury had been locked up over night and there was no longer any chance of a verdict before tomor row, they returned to their hotel crest fallen. They had hoped and looked for decision today and the news that they, would Slave to pass another night in doubt and at hand anxiety.was re ceived with keen disappointment. with the calmness and the happv-go- lueky manner which characterized Harry Thaw since the jury retired at 5:17 o’clock on "Wednesday afternoon. Rumors as to How Jury Stood. There were all sorts of'rumors and guesses in the air today as to how the jury stood. There were more different reports as to the results of the ballots than there could possibly have been, test votes taken. None of the reports had any degree of authenticity. Somo were offered in jest by prominent fig ures connected with the trial and oc casionally these were taken in deadly earnest by persons who overheard them. The action of the Jury in twice going before Justice Fitzgerald and to have certain portions of the testimony read to them was widely-commented upon, and naturally causer, much spec ulation. It seemed evident that the jury's deliberations were hinging on questions of sanity or the Insanity of the defendant as shown by the defense. The jury showed an almost startling familiarity with the evidence and the testimony they desired to hear again today and was given in part by per sons who were not referred to In ihe summing up speeches of either Mr. Delmas or District Attorney Jerome. From the manner in which the jurors wished to go over the evidence in all Its detail, it was Surmised that a ver dict if reached at all would he pre- t he I dicated entirely upon the evidenco and that the jurors are unable to ^‘^^^nTtt^wtirrbvening‘i his chambers awaiting the pleasure c tho jurors. NEW YORK, April 11.—At 11 o’clock tonight the jury in the Thaw case had not reported an agreement and it was said in the court room that no verdict was in sight. Twice during the day jhe jury came in court to ask for certain exhibits and the reading of por tions of testimony and extracts of Jus tice Fitzgerald’s charge. One of these requests related to the testimony of Drs. Evans and Wagner. Justice Fitz- eraid said these men were competent to give testimony as to Thaw’s mental condition because of their personal ex aminations. Foreman Smith started in to discuss certain other phases of his charge with Justice" Fitzgerald, hut was stopped short. “I can't discuss the matter with you. Be careful about that, Mr. Fore- Foreman Mrs. Thaw’s Mother Desires Acquittal. PITTSBURG. April 11.—“No matter how cruel Harry Thaw and Kvcjyn have been to me I would like to see the jury acquit the defendant in the ease for the comfort it would be to Florence. I sincerely hope the jury does acquit him. and soon, for the sake of my daughter, and what It means to her peace of mind.” This is tho statement made by Mrs. Charles Holman, mother of Mrs. Harry IC. Thaw, after a strenuous flight of hours of anxiety awaiting the return of the Thaw jury. When it was un derstood that it was almost an impos sibility for anything accurate to get from tiie jury room. Mrs. Holman was inclined to think it a bad omen. Be yond making the expression above, Sirs. Holman had nothing to say. Nor would her husband talk for publication at this time. REV. nos WAS HE WAS ARRESTED BY THE PO LICE IN THE TENDERLOIN DISTRICT . . .. ; NEW YORK, April 11.—Rev. W. Howard Hears, curate of St. Mathews man." exclaimed the judge. Foreman | Episcopal Church, who was arrested Smith wrote a note and p.i-sod it up , by^uje police at a house in the Ton- to Justice Fitzgerald, who then direct ed that that portion of his charge re lating to the hypothetical questions put to the experts for both the prosecution and defense be read. The charge stated that the jurors were not bound to ac cept nor allowed to accept opinions based on hypothetical questions as they would accept facts. In hypothetical questions the court declared it is al ways of first importance that the facts contained in such questions have been established to the satisfaction of the jury. Opinion on such questions would considered, in connection with all the evidence in the case. “I believe now that is all, gentlemen." said Justice Fitzgerald. “No. sir, interposed Fore man Smith, “there was one more re quest.” That request,” said Justice Fitzger ald, “is that certain portions of the umming up address by Mr. Delmas .<1311 he read you. I cannot grant it. It is not evidence and you must remem ber that you can have nothing hut the evidence given to you.” The jury then retired again and con tinued its deliberations. The second request for information from the jury was taken as positive indication that a verdict, if rendered, will be based on the sanity or insanity of the defendant and that the unwrit ten law will have no part in it. The request for the reading of a portion of Mr. Delmas’ speech was taken as favorable indication by the defense, despite the fact that Justice Fitzgerald would not allow t'he request. Soon af ter the jury retired, Evelyn Thaw, ac- ompanied by Mr. O’Reilly of Thaw's counsel, left the court house for lunch. The crowd in the street was so anxious to get a close look at her that she was lmost swept off her feet, and' Mr. O'Reilly was forced to fight a way throughthe crowd for her.
