New York. Jan. 50,--The ratio Of se-
curing one new juror at each morning
and afternoon session OF the Thaw
trial was maintained today when Harry
G. Brearley. the tenth Juror in the box,
was added TO the trial panel before the
luncheon adjournment was ordered.
Twenty-seven talesmen We're disposed
Of this morning, and the second special
panel OF 100 men was being exhaust
Cd SO rapidly that Just before o'clock
orders We're sent out for 100 more tales
men for tomorrow morning. This win
make 400 men who have been sum-
moned.
Both state and defense engaged to-
day in a duel of peremptory challenges,
and during the morning session each
side had employed the privilege four
times. With two jurors yet to be OBJ
'ained the defense has nine summary
challenges left and the state 1871
Neither Mrs William Thaw nor the
Countess of Yarmouth attended this
mornings session. II was said they
were suffering from colds and did not
deem 1t wise to venture out.
The defendant had piece of paper
and pencil with him today, and from
time TO time during the examination
of the talesnen he made notes.
Thaw passed an uneasy night and
that the jury had not been completed
yesterday,
Thaw was especially annoyed by the
excusing of Harold Fare the broker
who had made a. good impression OH
him. Thaw refrained from reading any
newspaper explanations of Faire's re-
moval from the jury, and he accepted
his counsel's explanation that consid-
Grafton of health caused the two Jurors
to be excused.
Justice Fitzgerald threw something
of a bombshell into the camp OF the
newspaper artists In the courtroom this
morning by announcing through the
court officers that no more sketches
should be made during the trial This
came as a complete surprise. Artists
from most of the principal eastern cities
have been in court from day to day, and
have not been restricted IN any way
whatever.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw and May Nc
Kenzle were again early In the court
room. When Mr.. Hartridge came into
the courtroom young Mrs. Thaw ex-
tended her hand and grHeted hirs cor

corted Mrs. Thaw and her companion
into the prisoners pen, where the ac-
cused man and his wife sat together for
10 minutes. The woman had not re

Fitzgerald took his place OH the bench,
Thaw was disappointed In entering
the room TO find his wife the only MEM
Der of his family present. The others,
ii was said, had been detained by the
heavy snuHstorm which began last
night and continued today.
There was a Wild story going the
rounds of the criminal court building
today TO the effect that there was q
fund of 100000 for use in corrupting u
juror. 1t was given no credence what
ever in any responsible quarter. 1t was
asserted that the talesmcn who are Vet
to be examined are under the surveil-
lance of county detectives, but this could
not be verified. The statement of Harold
r. Faire. one OF the jurors excused
yesterday, that he could offer no eX-
PLANTATION as to why he was replaced
In the jury box was repeated on many
sides today and II was rumored that he
might demand IN court i'm explanation
of the action taken in his case.
For the first time talesmen called to-
day We're asked II they had been APP
preached by any ono in connection
with the case since being summoned.
All replied no. Only 60 men remained

Seven men were examined in vain
within half an hour after the opening
of court. Two Of them were peremp-
torily challenged by the defense.
Edward Thaw and Mrs. George L.
Carnegie reached the court room an
hour after the proceedings had begun.
Atty. Delmas of Thaw's counsel is
still confined TO his apartments with
a severe cold.
The first talesman TO prove acceptable
as q Juror today was Harry C, Breare-
ley. an advertising agent. He was ac-
cepted only after long wrangle be-
tween counsel over the form of ques-
lions put to him as to what he consid-
cred q reasonable doubt. He was nm
