ton to Be Brief.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE attorneys
in the Thaw trial are taking a day
off today and going over their testi-
mony for the last time before the
actual trial of the cas- begins.
On Monday morning the trial proper
will be opened with a brief address by
Assistant District Attorney Garven,
and then the peoples case will be put
in.
The case will be brief. The killing
will be proved and evidence will be
introduced to show that the shot which
killed Stanford White was fired by
Harry K. Thaw. 1t is not likely that
more han two or three hours will be
required. Then the prosecutions direct
case will be closed and the defense will
begin.

they were chosen:

The jury, which was completed
yesterday. will, however, spend today
and tomorrow and all the other days
until the case is finally completed
under close guard. The jurors may be
taken for drives, they may be allowed
to walk around a little, but all the
time they will be in the custody of a
battalion of court officers, and will not
be allowed to even receive visitors,
although they be members of their W
P.H1tIfAc AuAA~E ~ kAA rraonnnn nf
bailiffs.
Their mail will all be read before
they are allowed to see it, and they
a only read newspapers after The
head bailiff has carefully cut from
them every reference to the trial. They
will be wen more closely guarded than
will Thaw himself, the man whose fate
sven now rests in their hands.
The twelve men who will decide the
young P~ittsburger's fate are all beyond
middle age, there being five gray heads
in the jury box. Nine of them are mar
rled, two are widowers, and n of the
Jurors is single. The fact that the jury
was finally accepted without h at
torneys using up all the peremptory
challenges allowed them shows that
both the prosecution and the defense
are satisfied.
OF the 500 veniremen summoned 372
were examined. the defense using 20
peremptory challenges and the prosecu-
ton 20, each side having been allowed
30. At the first trial 1886 veniremen were
examined before the jury was finally
completed, n each side used all its
peremptories. The fact that eight days
was required to complete the first jury,
while the work this time vas accom-
plished in five. is due in some meas
ure to the night sessions of the court,
which Justice Bowling insisted on hold
ing.
CUNARD CUTS AGAIN.
