MISTRIALFORTHAW
The Jury Failed to Agree
and is Discharged.
DISAPPOINTMENT GREAT
Seven Jurors Were for Conviction and
Five for Acquittal—Salacious
Rot Must Be Rehearsed
, wcw York special says: Hope
lessly divided—seven for a verdict of
guilty of murder in the first degree
and five tor aeauittal on the ground
of insanity—the jury Which since
January 23 has been trying Harry
K. Thaw reported Hriday afternoon
after forty-seven hours and eight
minutes of deliberation that it couid
. not possibly agree. The twelve men
were promptly discharged by Justice
Fitzgerald, who declared that he, too
believed their task hopeless. Thaw
was remanded to the Tombs with
out bail to await a second trial on
the charge of having murdered
ford White.
When this new trial will take place
no one connected with the case could
express an opinion. District Attor
ney Jerome declared that there were
manv other Persons accused of ho*"*'
cide awaiting trial ata -Thaw
would have to take* llls turn
As to a po«>role change of venue
both the diArict attorney and counsel
for Thaw declared they would make
no such move. Thaw’s attorneys
will have a conference with the
prisoner to decide upon their next
step. They may make an early appli
cation for bail. Mr. Jerome said
that he will’ strenuously oppose it.
He added that as seven of the jurors
had voted for “guilty, ’ his opposition
probably would be successful. In
that event, Thaw has another long
summer before him in the city pris
on, for his case on the already crowd
ed criminal calendar cannot possi
bly be reached uiuif fall. .. »
.The scenes attending the announce
ment by the jury’ of its inability to
agree were robbed.,^ ’“pjtricakyjl'

Thaw, surrounded by the members
of his family—the devoted aged
mother, the pale yc.ing wife, the ti
tled sister —the countess of Yarmouth
—Mrs. George Carnegie and Edward
and Josiah Thaw, the brothers, re
ceived the news in absolute silence.
Thaw’s wife gripped her husband s
hands tightly as the jury foreman
spoke, and then when he sank down
by her side, she tried to cheer nim
as best she coma by swing that she
believed he would now be aui r -.-.t e( j
to bail, and that a second jury would
surely set him free.
The mother, the sisters and the
brothers, pale and well-nigh exhaust
ed by their tedious, nerve-racking
wait for a verdict, smiled weakl at
Thaw as he was led away a-.aii'/to
the Tombs. They were pp^ i!le<l to
speak with him for a moment 6
to bid him be of cheer befcre
he crossed the ’’’ ,dge of sighs " 10

before he hoped he was about 10

r arts building a few hundred
persons wer« gathered. Thousands
had been there earlier in the day,
but ilte police had instructions to
keep every one moving, aud this
soon tired the idly curious.
Thaw, when he had returned to
the Tombs, gave out the following
statement:
“I believed that every man in the
jury possessing average intelligence,
excepting possibly Mr. Bolton, com
tho ■ c o
balanced it for acquittal. All of my
family bid me goodby with courage.
I trust (D. V.) we may all keep
well.’’

TILLMAN BIFFS NORTHEN
South Carolina Senator Replies in
Caloric Fashion to Criticism of
Georgia Ex-Governor.
Senator B. R. Tillman, of South
Carolina, spoke at the Sandersville,
Ga., auditorium under the auspices
of the Lyceum Association, and in
the course of his speech replied to
the charges made by ex-Governor
Northen and defended himself, ex
plaining the connection in which the
were used-
meet Governor Northen in debate at
any time he might designate and
would let a Georgia jury try the is
sues between them. He said:
“You have had in the past a man
whom you honored with the office
of governor, who of late has sought
some Notoriety, and pushed himself
to the front in the matter which looks
to the. adjustment of this momentous
question, as what shall be done
and how it shall be done to safe
guard Anglo-Saxon civilization, and
this man go ng up and down Geor
gia, a self-aj pointed apostle or some
thing, I don ’■ know what aud 1 don't
care, I don meddle-with Georgia's
affairs. I a: 1 glad of the chance to
allow some Georgians hear and see
me for myself, and nothing would
delight my soul more than to meet
this doubts, warrior on some dung
Itjll .iu aiiq see whether he
was the gat CTu», - - .».-<ner t'.
was.” Sen? or Tillman here read an
extract from the Atlanta Constitution,
Now the purpose in reading this
extract is, to bring to your attention
the character of the charges that this
man is making in public against me,
and as I never did take kindly to
abuse or slander, I hope you will par
don just a few comments on this ex
traordinary and remarkable produc
tion from an ex-governor of Georgia,
about a senator, not ex-senator, of
South Carolina. I do not care to in
dulge in personalities, 1 simply call
attention to a charge h ■ makes there
“that with the oath of office fresh
on my lips, I said so ami so. ” What
I did say, what I haqv .said, what
1 may say now, audit epeat, what
1 have said in the sei j and lam
n "Vs to en.orce th’c
o would lead a muj; to lyt*h «ny man,"
'"LlJtfck or white, who ra’.ished a wo
man, black or white.”
He leaves out everything except
what he wanted. Now that has been
termed by Shakespeare "a lie by indi
rection, or a lie 1 on:.\>ion. He
goes further to sir that in a public.;
utterance ot mint, which iiad the leu- I
dency to break down respect for the
law aud to paralyze the sliKiitt-’ of
Georgia, that I said, "To m*' 1 witll
the law.” What did I■ -’ u ’ ld where?
It was at Chicago ‘he papers gave
wide cir*”lation to the effort of tne
WQgt.-eb t*j?re to silence me and to
pri veiii- ffiy speaking. The speech 1
made was .„ die presence of a pac;:-
ed auJ jei ’ ce " f 3,500 people, with lots
of peopl l outside trying to get in,
pad it" able to do so, they were
as wild as any men in the south ever
can be on the subject of white su
premacy, but what 1 di d S ay jp com .
menting on'this thing wa 3 1 al
luded to the handcuffs that had been
placed upon us by the 15th amend
ment, and went on to illustrate aud
tell just how we had overthrown and
paralyzed or nullified both the 14tb
and 15th amendment, and when i wus
discussing that phase of the Subject
some fellow in $e audience, taking
exception to my iiethod of treating it,
exclaimed, or asA'd me, “W hat about
the law?” My reply was just like a
pistol shot, "To hell with such a law! ’
1 meant "to hell with the 15th amend
ment,” because it nad attempted to
put the. white man's neck under the
negro's heel and hold it there, and if
there is. anybody in Georgia or any-
ing that, "To hell with that law, ’ 1
don’t care what he thinks; he can
have his own views, and 1 can have

Given in Alleged Peonage
Cases in Atlanta Court. '
THE BIG BLUFF IS CALLED
Jury Was Out But Short Time Before
Reaching Decision —Brief and Suc-
iv- rx.i;.
/ by Judge Newman.
It took just fifteen minutes iu tho
United States court at Atlanta, Ga,
Tuesday afternoon for the jury in the
Coleman-Zeigler - Brewster - Robinson
conspiracy case to bring in a verdict
of not guilty.
And within another five min
the defendants had received the co.
gratuiatfons of the few friends abo’tt
aud the court, room was empty.
Tho case went 'lie Jury .vJth-u:t
argument, but it was a day of stren
uous work by the attorneys for both
the government and for the defend
ants. When court convened in th
morning the defense had the wit- '
ness stand and during the day tw i 1
of the Messrs. Cole, -Mr. Zeigler an i >
■’’’ son were iilac-.u on tj. :
t stand. Mr Zeigler admitted the ex
istence of the warrants and told of
the arrest of the runaways aud of
their return to Newnan.
He denied most emphatically that
any threats were made to rerain the
men in service after they were car
ried back to Newnan, but -in the con
trary asserted that the mon were told
to go where they pleased after they
lhe point from which
they starteur then according
to the evidence that the -1..
ed a desire to return to work and did
so of their own free will. »
Judge Newman began his charge at
twenty minutes to five, and closet
twenty tatnutes after the stroke of
five. He read from his prepared notes,
making frequent references to revis
ed copies of the statutes aud once to
a state hook of enactments in which
the labor law of 1903 was written.
The charge was enf.rely’ acceptable
Wilk tile bill or ... ~ ~a e . I.* 1
elating that it was ont- a’’
conspiracy defined a conspiracy as
interpreted by the law. Referring to
the fact that it was charged to be a
conspiracy in peonage the judge il
lustrated the various features of that
offense against revised statutes
and then directed the jury minutely
as to the manner in which tli-v
should arrive at its verdict.
The closest attention was given
Judge Newnan by the jury, by tho
defendants, by the attorneys for both
sides and by the small gathering with'-
in the court room as he instructed
the twelve men in the law.
Despite the verdict, Colonel Henley
and Colonel Sheppard, who came
from Florida to assist in the -pros
ecution, because District Attorney
Carter Tate was disqualified, on ac
count of his relationship with one ot
the Messrs. Cole, made an excellent
fight. Stubbornly they contested ev
ery inch of the ground
, . K iiie conviction of
the defendants. Though they had a
losing fight they took their defeat
with a grace that comes only to a
gallant fighter.
