NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-Every indica-
tion late this afternoon was that an
other panel Of talesmen will have to
be caleld before a jury can be selected
to try Harry X. Thaw for the murder
of Stanford White on the Madison
Square Roof Garden last June.
The monotonous grind of sitting the
present panel continued to-day without
a feature to break the monotony. Vir-
tpally every talesman called evinced
pronounced aversion to sitting in judg-
ment on the young multi millionaire
slayer. All sorts Of excuses were Of
fered to escape the long confinement
which seems certain to be the fate of
the jury, the indications to-day being
that the case may be dragged out the
better part Of a month. The first nine
talesmen called to-day were excused
without a single juror being secured.
Mrs. William Thaw, the aged mother
of the defendant, was in court to-day
when the prisoner came in. Thaw
greeted his mother with tear-dllei
eyes and outstretched arms.
Thaw seems to be improving I'm spir-
its and as the day wore away became
quite cheerful and took quite a hand
in the efforts Of his counsel in exam
ming talesmen.
The early advance guard OF
talesmen and reporters had
scarcely taken their places in
court to-day when Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
and her chorus girl friend, Miss May
Mackenzie. took their seats in the trial
room. Mrs. Thaw carried a dark
leather satchel containing the MONDAY
1uncheon5 which she and Miss Macken-
zie eat in the clerks room which ad-
joins the court. Evelyn was a pathetic
figure in court to-day. Counsel fears
she may never be able to take the wit
ness stand in defense Of her husband,
whose life depends upon the testimony
of the flower girl. She was dressed
in the same rk purple dress she wore
yesterday and from her blue hat
crowned by cluster of violets, there
fell a purple veil instead of the ac-
customed white. one (which partly con-
cealed the deep shadows under the
young wife's eyes.
Mother There To-day.
Mrs. William Thaw. whose illness
prevented her from attending court
yesterday, was at her sons trial TO-

count by Mrs. George Lauder Carnegie
her daughter, and two sons. Edward
and Josiah Thaw.
With the convening OF court thcre
followed the interminable roll-cail Of
talesmen. An elderly prisoner. Will
liam Younger, indicted for perjury
was arraigned to plead The Thaw,
watched the proceedings interestedly
and seemed TO feel a kindred pity foi
the old man in the tolls Of the law
which had their own in an embracing
grasp.
Harry X. Thaw to the bar" cried
Clerk Penny. The narrow oak dooi
leading to the prisoners pen beyoni
swung open and Harry Thaw with
smart stride, marched quickly to hil
seat. He showed evident delight OF
seeing his mother and stopped to reacl
over and shake hands and give a wore
of kindly greeting. Harry Thaw dix
not seem to see his wife as she fondl.
smiled at him. Thaw turned away
and the eyes of the fragile figure fol
lowed his eye move as he took his sea
and spoke to the lawyers.
At 1858 o'clock the sixth juror, How
ard. r. Thayer, a printer was chosen.
