EVELYN CRIES BFHTERLY
BULLETIN New York, April 12. Jury in Thaw case disagrees. The Judge dismisses jury. The Jury
stood 7 to 5 for murder in the first degree. (Bulletin.) New York, April . 12 When Evelyn heard foreman of jury
announce his decision, ' she rushed over to where Thaw was sitting and throwing her arms about his neck, wept bitterly. Thaw took her in his arms and tried to console her, but to no avail. Her grief was most pathetic and there was not a dry eye in the court. Even the stern Jerome wiped
away a tear.

The Disagreement by the jurors and their dismissal means that Thaw must stand trial once more for the murder of Stanford White. There is a division of opinion as to who wins the laurels, Jerome or Delmas. Delmas kept Thaw from being convicted, but Jerome had the odds apparently against him.
Disagreement Forecasted. New York, April 12. Up to one O'clock this afternoon there was no indication 'that the jury in the Thaw tase was any nearer a verdict than it tiad been for hours, and the patience pf all connected with the case is being forely tried. Appearances are that Ho agreement will reached and that this case, which has required weeks to try nd has cost many thoxisands of Collars, will come to naught. No fuio believes the verdict will be murfler in the first degree. At 7:33 the Thaw jury went out to
treakfast at the Broadway Central aotel having been locked up since midnight. As the jurors who have
been in continuous session for 38 fiours filed out of the building they appeared haggard and distressed. Bome of the jurors are apparently bearing the limit of physical endurance. Juror Steele, who is regarded as being the man largely responsible for disagreement smiled at the newspaper fcjen who were on hand to see the jury leave as if to indicate there was ven a longer wait in store for the reporters.
The jury returned to the criminal ourt building at 9:13 and began their Ittllbe rations. How the Vote Now Stands. At 10 o'clock this morning a persistant rumor floating about the court kouse. which was given considerable predence by both attorneys for defense nd state, was that at that time the xrj stood nine for conviction on mandaughter and three for acquittal. Steele, Brearly and Bolton are said to LTor acquittal. It is said that the Itate's attorneys have given up hone kf conviction in first degree murder ut that Jerome expects to deal some iort of punishment to the murderer, I only to subdue his exaggerated ego. Cost of Trial. Thaw's trial has cost j.he state- egb b thousand dollars. The Thaws are
laid to have epeur nbont two- mme'red nd thirty five thousand. The women f the Thaw party arrived at the court it 10:23 and went to the Judge's! Ihamber. .Evelyn appeared much re 1 keshed. i Thaw Makes Statement. i After the opeuing cf court. Thaw ras brought over from t ho Tombs and I Suraed his il! concealed, impatience f
ut?r me jury s lanure to come in.
Thaw gave out this statement: "I wish
the jury and ever yone else to under
stand that.no one despises a person
who carries concealed weapons more than I. Only after my life was in
jeopardy, as I was informed by per
sons and as was communicated to me by professional detectives, did I pro
tect myself. Then I employed Pinkertons and they, could neither prove nor
disprove these statements, so I could
not be afforded the protection of law
When doubting my own judgment I
consulted an ex-chief of police, a man
respected in this community . and he advised me my duty was to protect myself. ;In this trial I wished my case
based solely, and simply, on -the Jaw. of
the state and upon the evidence which had to convince, not only as I reviewed
and inquired into all the evidence, but
also the district attorney . that, I am innocent under the written laws '" of state." - . , . . -. . The jury was ordered to eat lunch: eon in the room and court took a recess until 2 p. m. Remarkable Demonstration. A most remarkable demonstration was given the elder . Mrs. Thaw and Evelyn as they left the building for lunch. Thousands upon thousands of working men and women gathered in Lafayette street to cheer them and they did so frantically. It was the most remarkable demonstration of its kind ever seen here

REV. W. H. PIERCE HAS MADE AFINE RECORD
Hagerstown Anxious to Have
Him Returned.
FIGURES ON HIS WORK.
WILLIAM TRAVERS JEROME.
Hagerstown, Ind., April 12. ReV.
W. H. Pierce, of the M. E. church, has given put for publication an interesting statement covering the history of Hagerstown circuit during the past
conference year. This report reflects
credit on Rev. Pierce and the membership of the circuit. The report
shows that Rev. Pierce preached 00
sermons during the year in the dis
charge of his regular ministerial en-
gagements. He also preached 19 funeral sermons; officiated at 2 weddings. He received into the church by card 10 persons, on probation 8,
and four baptisms were performed.
He traveled 1,000 mles in the perform
ance of his pastoral work, which means that he drove that distance in going to and from his three preaching places. Franklin. Losantville and Ha-
j,ri..iut ii. " r jjaoiuiai visits were made during the year, and this is a
most excellent showing. The three charges paid into the church in various ways, the following: Hagerstown, S719.S7; PranMin. $212.S3. Losantville, S57J.1S. Tola'. $1,C3.0S. It is remarkable that at Losantville a four weeks' revival meeting was held by Rev. Pierce, assisted by Evangelist J. T. Hatfield. A three
weeks meeting with the same evangelist was held at Franklin. The two charges, notwithstanding that they are not very wealthy, paid more than 2no expenses for the meeting. Taken as a whole, the showing made by Rev. Pierce, is regarded as extremely good. There is a very general desire that he be returned to this place by the conference now in session at Logansport, where he is in attendance.

"Praise God From Whom All Bless-1
ings Flow," was the keynote of the great revival meeting Thursday
night at the East Main Street Friends church, and as eighteen hundred people lifted their voices tuned to the old
familiar doxology, and gave expression
to the words of praise contained in the
four lines, it was most inspiring to
hear.
Early in the evening the people be
gan to arrive in crowds of a dozen or more and later they were coming in
hundreds. Arrangements had been made to use only the One half of the great auditorium, but it was soon
apparent that the partition would
have to be lifted and the entire build-: ing used. This occasioned some delay in the beginning of the service, asj it was the purpose to care for all who j . . - , . . . . j
came. v un me one nan or tne building crowded to the roof, for the gallery was full, and with people crowding into the aisles, it took about fifteen minutes to get the overflow seated In the east room. One fourth of the section of the lower floor had been reserved for the visiting delegations from New Castle and Centerviile, the last car of which arrived at about eight o'clock. Music Was a Feature. -Just then Mr. Lintt assumed charge
Patrick Merriman was fined $20 and costs in the city court for giving liquor to Mrs. Hazel Carter, a minor. He was also charged with giving liquor to Glen Newton, a minor and a cousin to Mrs. Carter. Merriman plead guilty to the first charge but entered a plea of not guilty to the second. Judge
Converse found him not guilty of giving Hiuor to young Xewton. Mrs. Carter is sixteen years old, the mother of a year-old child and is separated from her husband. She resides with her mother, Mrs. Eva White. Glen Xewton Is 16 years old and he resides with Mrs. White. Merriman Is also a roomer at the White home, which is located on South Sixth street. Last Saturday night, according to
the testimony of Mrs. Carter, she and Merriman, while alone in the house.
began to indulge in beer for the purpose of idling away the hours. She stated that Merriman rushed the can to a saloon once and that she escorted the "gTowler" twice. Merriman did not give her the beer, Mrs. Carter stated, but he placed the can that he brought from the saloon in 6uch a position that she would have no trouble in helping herself to the contents. Disturbance Next Feature. Later in the evening Glen Newton came home and spying the "suds" that Merriman had purchased; helped him
self to the beverage. Sirs. Carter stat-! tion platform

contest today and the way In which her friends am already working makes her chances of putting up a good raco very bright. Miss Danner comes into the (Contest with 2,000 votes. A ioint was raised in Miss Danner's case which the paper desires to make jlain to the public. One of the candidates who dropped out of the race wanted to know. If her votes could be transferred to the credit of Miss Danner. The request was refused. Throwing of votes from one candidate to another cannot be permitted.. It would bo unfair to the others Interested In the race. If a candidate drops out he must drop his votes as well. Pull for Prof. Brunson. vThe teachers race continues to hi Interesting. An enthusiastic youth was in the Palladium and Sun Tchgram office . this morning to tell of Prof. Brunson's prospects, "lie goin to win," the youngster faid, "cause all us boys are go'ln to work for him. Hfc'B our physical director you know and they ain't nothing we wouldn't do for him." Prof. Brunson takes a class of boys from the Garfield on cross country runs and works with them in other athletic exercises. The lads are very enthusiastic about this work and for that reason they are "plugging" lard for Prof. Brunson. Being an athlete of much ability Prof. Brunson naturally is very popular with the boys and for this reason he will stand a splen
did chance in the contest. Prof. Brunson. or any other teacher for that matter, will have to have loyal supporters, however, if Prof. Jos. Richter is beaten in the race for he has the entire student body at St.' Andrews school working for him. Support from Fountain City. The support for Fred Reynolds, the Starr Piano employe, does not fceem to be confined to Richmond. Today he received seven votes which were sent in from Fountain City. Mr. Reynolds has many warm friends in all parts of the county and Jf he decides to make an active canvass for tho prize be would certainly stand a good show. William Russel has a city wide acquaintance and is sure to make a hard fight as he willjbave the loyal support of his own place of work, the Hoosier Drill. Caution should be exercised by voters so as not to lose the right to vote the first ballot which appeared. It expires next Monday at five o'clock. The rule about the time ballots expire will be rigidly enforced and voters should be careful to get their ballots into the office on time. .
