New York. Jan. 2S.-When the tria:
of Harry K. Thaw was resumed before
Justice Fitzgerald, in the criminal
branch of the supreme court today
there remained five jurors to be chos-
en- from among less than a hundred
talesmen who remain to be examined.
1t is generally conceded that the TAX
ing Of testimony will not be possible
before Wednesday.
Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw came into
the courtroom early today. arriving
nearly half an hour before the morning
session was scheduled to begin. She
was accompanied by Miss May Nc
Kenzie who remains her constant com
panion. Miss Mckenzie today declar-
ed that there is absolutely no truth In
the report that there have been differ
ences in the Thaw family, and said
that it was especially untrue that any
dissension had arisen over her presence
in the court room.
Young Mrs. Thaw wore again the
dark blue dress which has now become
familiar to those in the court, and
again her features were hidden be-
meath a closely drawn white veil.
New Defense by ThaM.
One of the counsel for Harry K.
Thaw said that neither emotional in
sanity nor the "unwritten law" would
be pleaded In his defense. 1t was also
announced that the defense would not
require more than five days for pres
entation of it's testimony to JUSTIFY
Thaw's killing of Stanford White.
Thaw's lawyers held conference In
the home Of Henry c. McPike, 204 West
Seventeen street, lasting from II o.
clock Sunday until o'clock in the ev-
ening. Dolphin NJ. Delmas outlined the
defense to his associates.
Mrs Harry K. ThaW was present
thruout the conference.S Mrs. Douglass.

make memoranda. After the confer
ence Mr. Delmas took a long drive
thru Central Park, accompanied by
young Mrs. Thaw.
Mr. Delmas denied positively that he
had protested against the appearance
of Mae Mackenzie, a chorus girl, in the
courtroom with young Mrs. Thaw.
Additional Talesmen Summoned.
The rule of the court to bar from the
trial all persons not having direct
interest in the proceedings was strict.
ly adhered to today, despite the fact
that the disposition of more than 100
had left many vacant benches
in the rear room. Much of the space
now occupied, however, must be given
over to witnesses, who will not be re-
quired to attend until the jury is COM
pleted.
Within the first hour of the morning
session fifteen talesmen had been ex-
amined, but not one had gone thru the
questions usually propounded by the
district attorney further than the one
dealing with the matter of what opin-
ion they moght have formed The
rapid manner in which the remaining
talesmen were disposed Of caused the
district attorneys office to summon an
additional panel of 100 men, who will
report in court tomorrow.
Eighth Juror Secured.
The first juror of the day was Sc
cured in Charles d. Newton, retired
business man, he being the eighteenth
talesman examined this morning. New
ton is married and about IS years Of
age. He declared that he had formed
~, ov,;rion in ba ooca h,,t hol;ouod
not to be so strong as to prevent his
rendering fair and impartial verdict.
Newton stepped into the jury box as
juror No. s, at 1902 p. m.
Justice Fitzgerald, at this juncture, de-
cided to adjourn further proceedings
until p. M, owing to break in the
heating apparatus, which made the
court room too cold for comfort.
There was vacant seat at Thaw's
counsel table today, the one usually
occupied by SDelphis M. Delmas, the
California attorney. 1t was stated Del
mas is confined to his apartments by
a severe cold. His law partner, Thom-
as McPike, was present, along with
four other attorneys who have the de-
fense in hand.
No Sign Of Friction.
Scarcely had Mrs. Thaw and Miss
Mckenzie, her companion, taken their
seats, when the other members of the
prisoners family arrived, including his
mother the Countess of Yarmouth and
Mrs. Carnegie. The family were seated
in two rows of chairs today, just back
of where Harry Thaw sits. In the first
row behind the prisoner We're Edward
Thaw, George L. Carnegie and the
Countess of Yarmouth. In the second
row Mrs. William Thaw sat on the
aisle and nearest the defendant. Next
to her sat Mrs. Carnegie; then came
Mrs. Harry Thaw, and lastly Miss Nc
Kenzie. When the defendant was call
ed into court he passed the family
group and was greeted with smiles by
every member of it. He smiled broadly
himself. 1t is said the prisoner was re-
sentful yesterday when he read so
much in the Sunday papers about the
reported break in the relations between
his wife and mother and sisters, and
