 No Differences in Family.

 Young Mrs. Thaw wore again the dark blue dress which has now be- come familiar to those in the court and again her features were hidden beneath closely drawn white veil
 Mrs. Tnaw carried Q large black handbag in which were stored sand witches and other viands for the mid day luncheon, which she and Miss Mo- kenzie usually share in one of the court clerks rooms.
 Scarcely had Mrs Evelyn Thaw and ner companion taken their seats when tae other members of the prisoners family arrived. His mother came first and was followed by tine Countess Of Yarmouth. who had recovered from the cold which kept her in her room sev- eral days last week and Mrs. George L. Carnegie.
 T.-c elder Mrs. Thaw always dresses in the plainest of black gowns and wears heavy fur-lined coat of the same color. The countess wore a long dark gray English travelling coat and small green turban which was al- most entirely covered by black veil.
 It was decidedly chilly in the court room today and none of the ladies in the Thaw party remo' od their heavy wraps for some time. When they did so was seen that the countess wore plain cloth suit of dark green. Mrs Carnegie was again in dark brown. The family was seated in two rows of chairs today just back of where Harry Thaw sits. In the first row behind the prisoner were Edward Thaw, George L. Carnegie and the Countess of Tar mouth. In the second row Mrs. Will liam Than saa on the aisle and nearest the defendant: next to her set Mrs. Carnegfe: then came MrsI Harry Thaw and lastly Miss Mckenzie.
 sreeted Evelyn Thaw.
 Mrs. William Thaw and her daugh- ters greeted the prisoners wife with the usual bows and mods of the heads.
 When the defendant was called into court he appeared on the instant and evidently had been waiting close to the door leading from the prisoners pen. As he passed the family group he was greeted with smiles from every mem ber of It He smiled broadly himself and then gave quick glance at the re- porters working at two long tables. It is said the prisoner was resentfuI yes terday when he read so much in the Sunday papers about a reported break in the relations between his wife and his mother and sisters and that to- day he was interested in the appear anee of family unity
 The seven chosen jurors entered the court as Justice Fitzgerald was talk ing his place on the bench.
 The first talesman called for exami- nation today was Charles Shongood, who made the i0snd man of the special Of 200.
 The task of complsting the jury be- ed he had formed such a strong opin- lon in the case that he would not be fair and impartial juror. The very next raIesman up, Robert Fl. Robinson. was excused for the same reason. and then came two in succession who had conscientious scruples against capital punishment.
 The fifth talesman of the morning was John A. Augur, whose opinion was so strong as to influence his decision. The sixth talesman up for examination, Charles H. Mapes, knew members of the Thaw family and was excused. AL exander Hamburger, the seventh tales man, was allowed to so by consent Rf- ter he had shown a note to the judge
 Charles K. Harris Called.
 Interest in the proceedings was en- livened by the calling to the stand of Charles K. Harris, the music publish CT. District Attorney Jerome said it would hardly be fair to ask Mir. Harris to serve as a juror as he was intimately acquainted with several of tho wit nesses summoned by the State. Thaw's attorney consented to excuse the tales man.
 August c. Auger. the second tales man of the name. was allowed to go by reluctance In saying what business he was engaged in. He finally declared he was manager of an estate
 The first juror of the day was secur- ed in Charles D. Newton. a retired bus mess man, the eighteenth talesman ex- amined this morning. Mir. Newton is married and is about 65 years of age. He declared he had formed an opinion in the case, but he believed 1t was not

 MT. Newton said he would want the evidence to convict to remove every reasonable doubt. MT. Jerome Ques- tioned him at some length as te whe- ther he would require the removal of every possible doubt. The taleSman said he meant by doubt. such a doubt as @ reasonable man might entertain. When 1t was seen that MT. Newton was an- swering satisfactorily all the questions put to him, both by Mir. Jerome and Mir. Hartridge, the members of the Thaw family began to take lively In- terest,
 Mrs. William Thaw leaned over and engaged the Countess Yarmouth in earnest conversation. Mrs. Harry Thaw leaned far forward in her chair, talk ing in every word that was uttered. Tn response to an inquiry by Mir. Hart ridge the proposed juror said he had no prejudice against any particular line of defense. and if there was any ques- ton as to the legality Of the defensn. he would be guided by the instructions of the court
 Newton Is Sworn.
 All challenges were withdrawn. Thaw arose and faced the talesman as he was sworn. The prisoner has learned the court custom. and 1t was not necessary for the clerk to call upon him to stand up.
