Special Panel of One Hundred
Exhausted to Grant Girl
Murderer's Request.
TO BE A FAMOUS CASE
JOSEPHINE TERRANOVAS WILL
TRY TO SHOW THAT INSANE
FROM INNOCENT SHAME SHE
KILLED UNCLE AND AUNT.
Publishers Press1

New York, May 15.-Because of the
whim of 17-year-old Josephine Ter
ranovas, the Italian girl who is on
trial for the>~murder of her aunt and
uncle, that no jurymen other than
those who have daughters be selected
to serve on the panel, the special pam
ell of one hundred was exhausted this
afternoon but IL men had been Sc
lected and court was adjourned until
be summoned.
1t is Josephine Terranovas' aim to
place in the jury box men who would
appreciate her position as fathers of
daughters, she alleging that she COM
mitted the crime because of the NAL
treatment of her uncle. aided and
abetted by her aunt. She is following
out her plan so as to excite sympa-
thy with a girl who, the defense, al
leges, was an innocent party to
wrong doing for several years and
knew nothing of the position in
which she was placing herself. Then,
it is the object of the defense to
prove, the realization of her shame
drove her temporarily insane and
while in that condition she commit
ted the crimes which resulted in her
arrest.
The case promises to develop into
one of the most remarkable murder
cases of recent years, eclipsing both
the Patterson and Claiche trials.

or From Capitol.
SELDOM SEEN AT THEATER
VICE PRESIDENT AND HIS WIFE
HAVE UPHELD SOCIAL TRADI-
TIoNS OF OFFICE BY NUMER-
Gus FINE RECEPTIONS.
(By A. w. Tracy.)

Washington, May 15.-When it
comes to walking, Vice-President
Fairbanks might be termed an English
man. If the weather and the time
permit, it is the habit of the vice-pres-
ident to walk one way, either to or
from the capitol. He is a great be-
lever in the peripatetic branch of
physical culture as an aid to health
and always like to pick up friend to
enjoy with him the air and the exer-
else of a two mile walk. Senator
Hemenway, who likes his walking in
small doses, is frequently a companion
as their homes lie in the same direc-
ton. If the vice president dislikes
to walk alone, for riding alone he has
an equal aversion and a friend may
always be seen with him when he
drives to or from the capitol.
Vice President Fairbanks seldom
goes to the theatre and does not care
so much for that kind of amusement,
when there is something extra good
to be seen. He is a regular attend
ant upon church services and is to be
seen at the Metropolitan Methodist
church, McKinley's church, nearly ev-
cry Sunday morning.
Social Entertainers.
The social traditions of the vice
presidential office have been followed
in the hospitality dispensed at the K
street home this winter. Pleasantly
located at the head of Farrasut
Square. the fSrmer home of Senator
Stamford of California, is admirably
suited to the scale of entertaining re-
quired of it's present occupants.
The most notable functions this sea-
son were the dinners given in Deem
Der. one to the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt, and the other to James
Whitcomb Riley, at which were invit-
cd to meet him, the members of the
Gridiron club, the most famous news
paper organization in the world.
In February the Vice President and
Mrs. Fairbanks gave a reception to
the members of the Senate and invited
to meet them the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt, the cabinet, the members
of the House of Representatives, the
members of the newspaper fraternity
in Washington, and their wives, be-
sides other guests. This reception
was in keeping with long standing
custom.
