ruddy face. stiff white military mustache. snd

i Thaw. who nodded his head in token of assent
/ when the time for the Withdrawing Of Challenges
/ arrived.
4 Thaw's appearance in court seems to get Bet
| ter each day. Last Wednesday he had a very
SaIlOw color but it has almost entirely left him
and now his cheeks pinker. his eyes bright
| er and his walk brisk. When he entered court
yesterday, carrying his long ulster over his arm.
| he stopped and smiled at his family and then
greeted each one Of his counsel At frequent in
| tervaIs during the day he talked animatsdIy and
/ appeared to take greater interest In the case
than he has heretofore
| FAMILY GOODNESS MARKED.
The entire Thaw family was present yesterday.
| the Countess of Yarmouth being In court for the
first time since last Wednesday. Frequens
coughing showed that she still had a remnant
| OF her severe cold.
The coOlness between mother and daughter
| in-law was even more marked than on previous
days Mrs. Evelyn Thaw and her constant COM
paniOn. Miss May Mackenzie. arrived first IN ths
morning. They had been in court hardly more
than five minutes when Mrs. William Thaw,
Mrs. Carnegie and the Countess OF Yarmouth
arrived. escorted by Edward and Josiah Thaw
and Mr.. Carnegie. Instead OF the cold. formal
greetings OF Friday there were no greetings at
all. Mrs. William Thaw walked by her daugh-
ter-in-law without a sign of recognition, and
Mrs. Carnegie. who sat next 70 her. did not talk
The countess sat in front, with her brothers.
At the noon recess Mrs. Evelyn Thaw talked
with some vivacity 20 Mrs. Carnegie. receiving
only brief replies
The women expected to go to a restaurant for
luncheon. but found they would be followed
by persons who had hired automobiles for ths
purpose. So they sent out for food, and ats
in the judges private room.
Adjournment was taken at noon. instead OF
1 o'clock. yesterday. as the courtroom was nearly
as cold as out of doors Counsel argued while
wearing their OyercOats. and everybody shiY-
ered Justice Fitzgerald received so many pro-
tests that he finally announced that the heat
ing apparatus had been put out OF commission.
and then adjourned court.
Dolphin NJ. DelInas was absent from the hear
ing again yesterday. being confined to his apart
ment with a heavy cold. It is expected that he
will be in court in time for the opening address
to the jury.
Several Of the talesmen yesterday said they
had known White one said he formerly lived
In Pittsburg and knew Mrs. Holman. the mother
of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. The majority. how
ever. urged either that they had opinion
IN the guilt or innocence OF Thaw. or else had
conscientious scruples about capital punishment.
The defence used two peremDtOry challenges.
while the state used three This makes ten for
the defence and twelve for the prosecution
