Heaters Out of Order.
Something happened to the steam heating
of the court room this morning and the oe-
PENDANT, muffled up in a heavy overcoat'
sbivered in time with the rest of the court
room occupants Finally, at noon, the cold
in the court room became unbearable, ana
after the first juror of the day had been ac-
cepted, Justice Fitzgerald adjourned court
for the noon recess a full hour earlier than
usual. After it had adjourned the Thaw
family party, including the Countess OF
Yarmouth, who was present today gain
cred in circle, which included Mae Mac
Kenzie and Harry Thaw, and talked 1or
some time. Over in one corner OF tne
group were Mrs. Carnegie and Mae Mac
Kenzie in earnest conversation, and II
anything more than the appearance OF Mae
Mackenzie in the Thaw party was needed
to put down rumors of family split on her
account, this incident was enough to put a
final quietus on the story.
The morning session exhausted all but
seventy-three of the present panel of jurors,
and it is probable that not more than fifty
of these will answer to their names, SO
that the appearance of the extra hundred
talesmen in court tomorrow will e<neces-
sary. The prosecution still has twenty
two peremptory challenges left and the de-
Tense has twenty-one. These alone are
enough to dispose of all that is left of the
present panel.

both to the defendant and the seven men
who have already been chosen to sit In
Judgment on his life, the trial of Harry X.
| Thaw for the murder of Stanford White be-
gan again today. The slow and tedious
task of completing the dozen men who will
prove themselves acceptable as jurors with
1O1 talesmen Of the panel of 200 al
ready thrown out there are ninety
nine talesmen left from which the defense
and prosecution must agree on five more
men before the actual work Of trying the
young Pittsburg millionaire can commence.
Out of the ninety-nine talesmen left 1t
is expected that fully seventy-five will an
swer and unless the indisposition to serve
grows with alarming rapidity 1t Is believed
that the Thaw jury will be complete before
tomorrow night.

ment they came into court and 1t was seen
that they were alone the heads which were
turned toward them Immediately began to
wag, and the analytical wrinkle writer's
who count the eyelashes of the prisoners
family began to scribble wildly about the
widening of the breach" 1t did not take
very long, however, for the rumor to burst.
On her way into court Mae Mckenzie
stopped and in the first interview which she
has granted gave the rumor its first dig.
She was asked concerning an alleged in
terview with her In a Boston paper, which
told of a breach In the Thaw family over
the little actress
