 New York, Jan 2S.-When the trial of Harry K. Thaw was resumed before Justice Fitzgerald in the crim- inal branch supreme court to-day, there remained five jurors to be chos- en from among the less than one hundred talesmen, who remain to be examined. It is now generally con- ceded that the taking of testimony will not be possible before Wednes- day.
 Mrs Evelyn Nesbit Thaw came in- to the courtroom early to-day, arriv- ing nearly half an hour before the morning session was scheduled to be- gin. She was accompanied by Miss May Mckenzie who remains her con- stant companion. Miss Mckenzie to- day declared there was absolutely no truth in the report that there had been differences in the Thaw family, and said 1t was especially untrue that any dissension had arisen over her presence In the courtroom.
 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 the closely drawn white tulle or chiffon veil. Miss Mckenzie also wore the same costume in which she appeared last week--dark purple.
 The prisoners wife carried large black hand satchel in which were stored sandwiches and other viands for the midday luncheon which she and Miss Mckenzie usually share in one of the court clerks rooms.
 Scarcely had Mrs Evelyn Thaw and her companion entered when the other members of the prisoners fam- fly arrived. 4
 His mother came first and was fol- lowed by the Countess of Yarmouth, who has recovered from the severe cold she contracted last week, and Mrs George L. Carnegie. The elde' 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 to-day and none of the ladies in the Thaw party removed their heavy wraps for some time. When they did so 1t was seen that the countess wore plain cloth suit of dark green. Mrs Carnegie was again fin dark brown.
 The party was seated in two rows of chairs to-day just back of where Harry Thaw sits. In the first row behind the prisoner were Edward Thaw, George Carnegie and the Countess of Yarmouth. In the sec ond row Mrs William Thaw sat in the aisle and nearest the defendant. Next to her sat Mrs Carnegie. Then came Mrs Harry Thaw and lastly Miss Mckenzie.
 Mrs William Thaw and her daugh- ters greeted the prisoners wife with the usual bows and mods of heads. The family presented a united front.
 As the defendant entered court and passed the family group he was greeted with smiles by every member of it. He smiled broadly himself and then gave a quick glance at the re- porters working at two long tables. It seemed as though he wanted them to see that all was harmony in the family. It is said the prisoner was resentful yesterday when he read so much in the Sunday papers about a reported break in the relations be- tween his wife and his mother and sisters.
 A panel of 100 jurors has been summoned to appear in court to-mor- row. Charles D. Newton, a retired business man. 65 years of age, was chosen as the eighth juror.
 The seven jurors chosen last week and who are held as virtual prison CTS in the custody of bailiffs. entered the court as Justice Fitzgerald was taking hss place on the bench. They are Deming B. Smith. foreman: George Pfaff. Charles H. Fecke. Ar thur s. Campbell, Henry C. Harney. Harold R. Faire and Malcolm s. Fra Ter.
 The first talesman examined to- day was Charles shongood who was the 102nd man of the special panel of 200.
 The task of completing the jury began inauspiciously. Shongood de- eIared he had formed such a strong opinion in the case that he would not be an impartial juror. The next taIesman up. Robert H. Robinson. was excused for the same reason and then came two in succession who had conscientious scruples against capi- tai punishment The second of these. David Price. said he was examined as a juror in a capital case ten years ago. At that time he did not oppose the inf'iction of the death penalty. but had since become convinced that 1t vas wrong
