to-day as to expenses of the trial of
Harry X. Thaw attracted nearly as much
interest as did the probable outcome Of

family, while the State expense has been
about $4,000. Thaw ~alienists have cost,
it is said. $45, coo and his attorneys $145,-
900. TO Offset his expenses, jurors, who
have listened to the long drawn out trial
at the rate of 81 per day, are entitled to
only 81, $3.50 for their combined services.
II jurors pay is increased to IS per day,
as has beer suggested. the expense will
be nearly trippled.
