 The selection of the twelfth juror came at the end of long and tedious day-the eighth day of the triai-and immediately after this member or the trial panel had been sworn in. Justice Fitzgerald ordered an adjournment un- til 1O:3o o'clock Monday morning.
 District Attorney Jerome, who has been contending since yesterday after noon for the removal of one Of the men now in the jury box, but who failed 10 gain the consent of the defendants counsel to a change, was still reluctant as court adjourned today to begin the actual proceedings without a further opportunity to plead with Tnaws at. torney At his request, therefore. Juss lice Fitxgerald ordered all talesmen who have not yet been excused to be In court Monday morning
 Testimony Begins Monday.
 MT. Jerome then announced that if thera should be no change In the sit- uation. the State would proceed to place all its direct testimony before the jury at the Monday morning ses- sion. The defense was notined 10 pc in readiness to proceed Monday after noon. l+
 we are entirely satisfied with the jury.' said Clifford W. Hartridge. Thaw,s attorney, tonight. and he ad- tIAd the tntimation that he would not consent to any further changes.
 "The defense will be ready to pro- ceed the minute the prosecution has finished it's case" declared John B. Gleason, another of Thaw's attorneys.
 Assistant District Attorney Garvan will make the opening address for the prosecution. His remarks will be brief occupying perhaps not Llore than twenty minutes. The State then will introduce only such witnesses as are necessary to prove that Stanford White was shot and killed by Harry K. Thaw on the Madison Square Garden the night of June 25. In announcing that the introduction will not re- quire more than one session of the court MT. Jerome Is evidently of the opinion that the cross examination of the State witnesses to the actual tragedy may not be very extensive.
 The extent of the legitimate outside interest in the trial of Thaw is shown by the visitors to the court, visitors who are not. apparently. actuated by curl osity merely.
 Chief Justice Phippen. of the Court of Appeals of Manitoba, has spent a good part of the time consumed in the examination of talesmen, studying the work of both sides.
 Two prominent lawyers of Virginia attended yesterdays session of the court. One of them was Mlnetree Fulkes. commonwealth's attorney of Richmond, and the other Harry NJ. Smith. a famous ciminal lawyer of the Old Dominion. Both carefully studied the methods used in the selection of the jurors.
 Among criminal lawyers in the ju- dietary. and among the people, the trial Is causing the keenest interest in Vir- ginia. as I suppose it is in other parts of the country" said MT. Smith.
 There was more or less of an at- mosphere of uncertainty in the court room today as the hour for resuming the trial approached. The reports which had held over from yesterday to the effect that there might be a further wedding of the jury were again in circulation as the eleven men now on the trial panel filed in to take their places In the jury box.
 The court room was crowded with talesmen. the new fourth panel of 100 having reported and about sixty re- maining of the panel which reported yesterday. Some of the talesmen found their way into the seats reserved for the members of the Thaw family. but they were unceremoniously. routed out
