 NEW YORK. Jan. 30.-The first big surprise of the trial of Harry K. Thaw came when Justice Fitzgerald, on mo tion of District Attorney Jerome and with the consent of the attorneys fol the man accused of the murder of Stan ford White. announced that two of the jurors selected in the early days of the proceedings would be excused from further service.
 "Without any reflection on the jury men whatsoever" said the presiding judge. jurors Nos. and 6 will be ex cused."
 The men in question were Arthur s Campbell, superintendent of tele phone construction, and Harold R Faire, printer and publisher of pam phlet circulated in Wall street.
 When the excused jurymen left the courtroom they were besieged by ques tioners. MT. Faire created mild sen sation in the corridors when he assert ed with positiveness that he was utter ly in ignorance of any reason why he should be asked to step down.
 Mir. Campbell, the second of the ex cused jurors, declared he 'had toe much respect for the court to give an interview It was generally reported that Mir. Campbell had asked to be re lieved. He begged to be excused when first placed on the jury.
 One new juror had been added to the trial panel when the excuse of Faire and Campbell was announced, and g second one was subsequently, secured thus offsetting the loss of the two pre- viously sworn jurors. There are nine men in the jury box and three vacant chairs as the result of the examlna' ton of 21e talesmen.
 The two new jurors sworn in were:
 No. 10, John s. DenSee, travelling freight agent, thirty-eight years of age and unmarried. Mir. Dennee is a native of New Orleans.
 No. 4, David s. Walker, real estate broker, thirty-four years of age and un married. MT. Walker is a son of John Brisben Walker.
 Thaw seemed to be particularly well pleased with the selection of both Den nee and Walker and smiled when the prosecution withdrew all pending chal lenges against the talesmen. As soon as Mir. Dennee said he was Louisi anian Thaw was seen in earnest con sultation with his lawyers. Mir. Walker was accepted by the defense in spite of the fact that he said he knew Stanford White and many of the dead archi tect's friends.
 It is believed that the taking of testi. mony cannot be reached before tOmor row afternoon.
