JURORS, WHILE LOCKED UR,
NEARLY CAME TO BLOW'S
t AS RESULT OF DEBATE
By CHARLES H. FECKE.
(Copyright by American-Jotimal-
amfncr.)
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

tinue to be good friends."
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.

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.

• 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

baronetcy created In 1626. He was a
Scottish laird of the old type, and hl<

"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

New York. April 13 —John R Slo

Mr. Stevens said:
"I retired on best terms with my f*|.
low workers nnd have nothing to add
tn w liat has already been said concern
ing the work of the Panama ranaL"
N. hna to spend half her pin money m
gloves alone.
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.
The answer was filed through Attor
neys Howard ft Bolding, representing
