new York, Jan. 28.-When the trial
OF Harry K. Thaw was resumed before
Justlce Fitzgerald in the criminal
Drancn Of the supreme court today
tnere remained five Jurors yet to be
CHOSEN from among less than a hun.
oreo talesmen who remain to be ex-
amined. 1t is generally conceded that
the taking of testimony will not be
possible before Wednesday.
At 1905 the court ordered a recess
In the trial until 2 O'Clock. on account
OF break in the heating apparatus.
which made the court room too cold
for comfort,
Within the first hour sixteen tales
men lad been examined and not one
accep.ed. The rapid manner in which
tne remaining talesmen were disposed
or caused the district attorneys office
10 summon an additional panel of a
hundred men who will report in court
tomorrow.
Charles D. Newton, a retired busi-
ness man, about IS years of age was
selected as juror.
Jurors Pass Up Church.
Because the seven jurymen selected
LOT the trial of Harry K Thaw could
not agree upon church to attend they
compromised by spending yesterday
morning in their rooms. The guards
refused to separate them.
Thaw himself declined to attend the
services in the prison chapel for the
first time since his incarceration. He
was angry at the comments made by
some OF the newspapers with respect
70 the court proceedings, and particu-
larly With the stories about alleged dis
sensions in his family.
Refuses to See Reoorters.
When he arose yesterday morning
!Ihaw was cheerful and reiterated his
confidence in an acqrittal To his
Keepers with whom he chatted he ex-
pressed his satisfaction with the Jurors
already chosen.
Later, when the morning papers had
been brought, his mood changed. A
note of inquiry was torn to bits unread
and the messenger instructed to say
that the prisoner desired neither to see
nor hear from newspaper men.
Receive Censored Newspapers.
The jurymen, under escore of five
officers, detailed to watch them, were
taken for drive in Central park yes
terday afternoon.
At the Broadway Central hotel Sun
day papers from which all reference to
the Thaw trial had been clipped were
provided All the Jurors we're in good
health and spirits. They treated the
restraint placed upon them philosophi-
cally, viewing it in the light of dis
tasteful, hut necessary civic obligation
They expressed themselves we'll
pleased with the arrangements made
for their comfort.
Jurors Telephone by Proxy.
They had their meals together in a
private dining room. No mail was re-
ceived by any of the seven. Two of
them wished to telephone to business
associates. These were escorted to a
telephone booth, where an officer COM
municated for them. Neither was al
lowed to talk nor listen on tie wire.
