during the DAY. MISS May MackenZle
was a participant in several of the
family chats, notably during the
luncheon recess when the party sat for
time in a circular group and carried
on general conversation. The prisoner
seemed to be in high spirits. 1t is now
believed that the taking Of testimony
cannot be reached before Thursday af-
ternoon or Friday morning.
New York, Jan. 29.-One hundred now
jury talesmen were present Tuesday
when the Thaw trial was resumed be-
fore Justice Fitzgerald. They We're
summoned Monday when it seemed
that the old panel of 200 might be ex-
hausted before the jury box could be
filled. There were three vacant jury
chairs when this. the fifth day OF the
trial was started and there remained
about 30 names in the original panel
tC be called. 1t was agreed that they
should first be exhausted before calling
upon amy of the newly summoned
tale smen.
All the members of the Thaw family
were again present Tuesday, arriving
III two parties. Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit
ThaW and May Mackenzie. entered the
court room with Mr.. and Mrs. George
l.. Carnegie. Miss Mackenzie took her
accustomed scat at the far end of the
second of the two rows of chairs as
signed to the prisoners relatives. This
is the most conspicuous place in the
family group. Mrs. Evelyn Thaw sat
| beside her. Mrs. Carnegie sat with the
prisoners wife until her mother, Mrs.
| VIM. ThaW. arrived with the countess
| of Yarmouth, and the two ThaW broth
crs. Edward and Josiah. Mrs. Carnegie
| then moved into the front row of
chairs and her place was taken by the
other cider Mrs. ThaW. The prisoner
wife and mother thus were thrown
| side by side again and it seemed as
| though this arrangement was designed
| t. take away the color from the stories
which have been 50 prevalent as to
the dissensions among the family.
The Thaws often meet in one of the
| ante rooms of the court and consult
with counsel for the defendant. This
accounts for the fact that they some
! times do not greet each other when
! taking their places in the court room
Both Attorney Delmas, who is suffer
ing from a cold and his law partner
! Mr. McPike, were absent from the de-
| PENDANTS counsel table when the morn
ing session opened This left 4 gap OF
| two vacant chairs on the prisoner
right and gave him a clear view oi
the jurors thus far shown. He profitec
by the opportunity and studied theil
faces for some time. Then he cx
changed condolences with Attorney
Peabody, who sat on his loft. The frs
talesman of Tuesdays session proved
to be Theodore V. Boynton. an init
mate friend of District Attorney Je

lengcd the second talesman, Daniel J
Martin. clerk.
Mr.. Jerome questioned the talesmel
Tuesday as to the extent they had beef
reading the papers since the trial be
gar. He desired to know if they ha,
been influenced in any way by the pub
locations. but none of the early tales
men would admit that they had at
tached any Importance outside of tn
actual proceedings in court.

TO where the distinction should b
drawn between a reasonable and
possible doubt and was excused b.
consent.
