THAw PLEASED WITH JURORS.
In the afternoon Miss Mackenzie removed her
veil Scr the flrst time end walsed beleiy Into
court with MRS. Thaw through the entrance
leading from the prisoners pen, where Thew
was waiting. Thaw was even more cordial 70
his wife when he entered after luncheon than in
the morning and when he left he did not fall
90 hesitate in his walk and smile a good night
AS he went back 20 his cell he told his keeper
that he was much pleased with the three Jurors
selected.
The defence made no secret of its pleasurs
over the selections of Jurors yesterday, and II
was said that the entire jury will probably be
obtained from the present special panel OF tales

20 hear evidence and the trial proper begun by
Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest How long
the case may last after that no ventures TO
prOphesy.
Il was a hard task that District Attorney
Jerome and Mr.. Hartridge found confronting
them yesterday to obtain any new jurors. As
predicted, the fact that those already obtained
were locked up and will be kept away from
home until the trial ends made talesmen wary
conditions Of excuses were given. 1t finally got

stand. would begin TO whisper with Justice Fitz-
gerald. All the other talesmen knew he was
giving some excuse why he should not serve. AS
the twenty-third talesman OF the day, the one
before the first Juror obtained, began TO
whisper TO the court, audible waves OF laughter
swept ever the room. and Justice Fitzgerald
raped sharply for order.
THAw CHOOSES JUROR CAMPBELL
Thhw for the first time indicated his pref
erence for a man yesterday when Arthur S.
Campbell was being examined. Mr.. Hartridge
hsd challenged and Mr.. Campbell was about 20
leave the stand when Thaw leaned over, whis-
pered a few words and Mr. Hartridge withdrew
his challenge. A few more questions were
asked and then Mr. Campbell was accepted.
Thaw nodded his head in token OF satisfaction
and sumped 10 his feet for the usual facing Of
the suror while he was sworn. He stood with
his hands behind him. ereot and self-possessed,
and smiled at his wife as he sat down. He was
much pleased with this Juror.
The cry OF 'Barry K Thaw 10 the bar!'
which ushers the defendant into court each
morning did not cause so much interest yester-
day the day before. Every one present had
seen the defendant. and there was not the pain
ful stiffness Of the first day when he entered.

talesmen have been examined The defence
again was more fortunate than the prosecution
In the number OF peremptory challenges IL was
forced to use. Yesterday the prosecution per-
emptoriy challenged four tirnes, while twice
was sufficient for the defence. The prosecution
has now challenged eight times and the de-
fence FIVE. Should there be large number OF

the benefit OF the defence.
The first talesmRn called was quickly DIS

manufacturer OF toys, at No. $50 Broadway. He
