New York, .March 22. In case a

that his .laWyerg will insist that the

until Monday. .
Justice Fitzgerald did not reach
court until after 1 1 o'clock this
morning, . When li. arrived Thaw's
mother, his : Wife and sister, th?
Countess of Yfirnioiiih, and Mrs. J.
J Calne were in court. It was the
first time all these women had b3en
there since the taking of testimony
began. District Aitorney Jerome
Immediately asked for au adjourn
ment to await the decision of Jus
tice Fitzgerald -regarding the fhsan
ity commission.
The. Justice said that his decision
would probably be given on Mon
day, but dirijcU'd the Jury not to re

tice Fitzgerald said: 1
"Yesterday Mr. Hartridgc rose to
make some remarks, and I thought
the subject I had in mind was what
he Intended to sneak of and to pro
vent argument, I rulsd not to hear
him. I understand now that he had
another mailer in mind. I under
stand that he wanted to say some
thing in answer to the district at
torney in regard to his remarks
about presenting facts to the appel
late division."
Jerome said:
"I haven't made the pharge that
Mr., Hartridge was guilty of unpro-
fessional conduct(ln withholding evi
dence which I considered material.
I assumed that' he' knew what I
meant when I spoke."
Mr. Hartridge replied:
- "Mr. Jerome has said that I have
had a private conversation with him.
The inference from this was that I
was trying to hold back from the
court some information. I did have
a conversation with Mr. Jerome in
which I said that if he believed
Thaw to be insane, why did he not
come out and say so.
"In that conversation It was un
derstood that anything said was to
go before this court.- He "referred
to Doctors Deemar and Blngaman in
this conversation and he had the
benefit of what they knew-about the
case. I placed these doctors at his
disposal and in addition he also
knew, long ago, what Dr. Hamilton
was to testify to. So I cannot see
how we can be charged With unpro
fessional conduct. Dr. Deemar -went
back to Pittsburg with the under
standing that he would return at
any time he was wanted by the dis
trict attorney. I have made the
offer to allow the people to take this
witness to the district, attorney's of
fice with the stipulations I made."
,"Is that all to be said on this sul
ject?" asked Justice-FlUgerald.
"That is all, your, honor," said
Hartridge ,and Jerome. ,

ney, added: V - W.
- MAt this time I doslr to make no
charges," , .'. .. : - -:

court, "I will adjourn' thin court un

FROM GRAVE IN WELL
(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
St. Paul, Minn., March 22. Ern
est E. Adams, a contractor, while en
gaged in cleaning out a deep well,
four miles out of the city, was buried
under tons of earth which caved in
on top of him at 5:30 p. m. last
evening. He was taken out alive at
EL o'clock this morning. The only in
jury he sustained was a slight bruise
on the head, and he Is apparently, no
worse for his experience, l
When the earth fell he had the
presence of mind to wedge One pf tho
planks in the well sidewise above
him and this prevented the earta
from falling upon him. He was in
no danger, he said, but uncomforta
ble, as one of- his arms was caught
between two timbers. There was
plenty of air in the bottom of the
well, as there was about six feet of
space below him.
