Justice Bowling Adjourned Court nt 11 O'clock on Friday Night The Jury was Then Ijoeked Up tor the Nllit Anxiety of Thaw Won Pitiful.. New York, Feb. ..Tho Thaw Jury returned a verdict of not guilty on the ground of Insanity. Thin ver dict, while acquitting Harry K. Thaw of crime, prevents his immediate re lease.

Martin W. Littleton, chief coun sel ft r the prisoner, was summoned to tre courtroom at 11 o'clock. He seemed to expect a verdict and asked a reporter whether the Jury had come in. He then aasked for the Xf ' row y ft J?. ZsVm 7-V. ibW. B HARRY K. THAW, officer In charge or the Jury and was Informed by him that Justice Dowl int; had ordered the Jury locked up for the alght. Mr. Littleton seemed much disappointed. . "What do you think the delay In a roport from the Jury means?" he was r.sked. "It is a ease that has covered much tlm- and ground,' he replied, "and will require much time In deciding." The anxiety of Thaw was pitiful. He spent the most of the day in the prisoner's pen above the Jury room, wl'.h his wife. He knew that the chance were either acquittal on the g.jund of Insanity, with the chance of imprisonment In an asylum, or a verdict of guilty. He never for a moment considered the prospect of a verdict of murder In the second de. gree or manslaughter. In the day ht packed up all his belongings in the cell he has occu pied for two years and was prepared to leave the tiny steel-barred quartet's at any moment. $5,000,000 for Szechenyls.
