Thaw adjourned today for two weeks without having found an indictment against him. The only information District Attorney Conger would give out was that the grand jury had not reported on the Thaw case. The matter was presented to the grand jury several days ago. Last Friday when a partial representative on other indictments, it was presistently reported that a vote had been taken on the Thaw case and that sufficient votes to indict were lacking. The case of Howard H. Barnum, the attendant on duty at the Matteawan gate where Thaw escaped, was presented to the grand jury on the conspiracy charge at the same time as that of Thaw. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NY-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
