One that particularly struck them was the standing aside of a wltneg to allow a document on which he was to bs examined, to be proved as was don with Mrs. Thaw to allow the defense to rrove . Thaw's will. j Here a Judge would take the statement ; of a lawyer that he was able to prove the document and there would be no further Interruption of the witness' evidence. This ar.d the fact that a lawyer had to Intro duce much otherwise unnecessary evidence I for use In case of an appeal, was blamed by Pnglish lawyers for tho dragging of the case, which they believed In 1-ingland.

The story of the proceedings In tho Jury room, as they were learned tonight, far outranked In Interest the brief court pro ceedings which brought the famous trial to a doge. It developed that the jury had considered everything connected with the case except "the unwritten law," basing their Judgment entirely on the evidence, they voted ell her for or against murder In the first degree when they cast their (Irst ballot. The first vote was eight to four In favor of conviction. Then the Jury tried to reach a common ground on a verdict of manslaughter In the tlrst degree, tho punishment of which ranges to a maxi mum of twenty years' Imprisonment The men In favor of acquittal largely on the ground of Insanity, It Is said would not change their ballots, and In the end won over to their side one of the eight who favored conviction.
