 As a whole, the jury is made up of Q most intelligent body of business men mosts of whom are at middle age oi over. When the panel had finally been completed, after many delays, and after the exercise of twenty three perempt- tory challenges by the defense, and twenty by the people, Thaw announced that he was entirely satisfied and in fact we'll pleased with the twelve men chosen. Young Mrs. Thaw, who had watched the selection of the jurors with the keenest interest declared that she was well satisfied.
 They are much nicer than the men selected last year." she said, as court adjourned, and Thaw exclaimed that he echoed his wife's sentiments. The pris- oner and his wife had an earnest five minutes talk after the last juror had been sworn, and while the attorneys

 The New Jurors.
 The new jurors selected today, were Messrs. McHugh, Howell, Burck, Do- vale and Hooper. The last two seats in the jury box were especially hard to fill and number of talesmen were passed temporarily into these places, by challenges from both defense and prosecution, Judge Bowling announc- ed at the beginning of today's sessions. that beginning with Monday, the court hours will be from 10 a, m. to D. m., and from 2 D. m. to 6 p. m. After wards, at the request of the attor- neys, he fixed the hour of adjournment at o'clock instead of o'clock. As sistant District Attorney Francis F. Garvan will make the opening state- ment for the prosecution as he did at the first trial He will not consume more than ten minutes and 1t Is stated that the States direct witnesses will not occupy more than two hours. The defense will open Monday afternoon, Martin w. Littleton, Thaw's new chief counsel, making the opening state ment.
 The trial of Harry K. Thaw opened this morning with one new juror as the result of days work. Twice the jury box was filled yesterday, and twice 1t was partially emptied agaln and this morning the attorneys faced the threat of the Court of Sessions on Saturday, unless they complete the jury before 10 o'clock tonight
 It is not usual to hold court sessions on Saturday and the attorneys on both sides had counted on having time to- morrow to take final look over the evidence as there will be no time af- ter the jury is completed.
 A fifth panel of 100 veniremen was present when court convened this morn- ing and it Is hoped, but hardly ex- pected. that the five remaining jury men may be found among those newly summoned. So far 400 men have been summoned and BIO have been exam ined. The remaining ninety having been either excused by the court or not found by the officers serving the summons. Of the BIO examined seven remain in the jury box, nineteen were excused on peremptory challenges by the defense, fourteen on the perempto- ries of the prosecution and 270 were allowed to go on challenges for bias allowed by the court or by consent of the attorneys. At the first trial, SS6 talesmen were examined to secure the twelve jurors, eighty days being con- stunned in the process.
 There has been little of interest dur ing the examinations so. far and the crowd that has begged admission at the court room doors has been notice- ably smaller than during the first trial Mir. Littleton, Thaw's chief counsel. has made very plain during all the time he has been examining prospect i've jurors. that the defense will be based entirely on a plea of inSanity at the time of the shooting. and it Is not likely that there will be any such plea of Justification as was made by DeimaS Tn ms summing up Ut lHo uIsI trial.
 Rumors of a mistake In identity when an attempt was made to serve Edna Goodrich, the actress, wanted as a witness for the defense in the trial of Harry K Thaw, led to the serving of another subpoena upon the young woman at the theater where she is playing, late last night. William Moore, from Attorney Peabody's office. made the service. Miss Goodrich and her mother received him on the stage. and the actress willingly accepted the pa- pers and promised to be on hand when ever desired.
 Justice Bowling announced this that night sessions of court would not be held after the jury is When the taking of testi- mony begins, the court hours will be from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m., with an hour Tor luncheon.
 The sixth panel of 100 talesmen was ordered today to report in court to- morrow morning before Judge Dowl- Ing accepted the prevailing opinion that the five jury vacancies existing when today's session began would not be filled from the panel which report sd this morning.
 Four absentees from yesterdays panel came in today. secured the TO-
