New York, jan, S.-The defense N
the case of Harry K. Thaw sprung the
flrst great surprise of the second trial
today by announcing it had issued
subpoenaes for severaI of the expert
witnesses who testified for the prose-
cution at the first hearing a ye.- ago.
and who when Ddsalct Attorney
Jerome appliea Ior a lunacy commits
sion naue affidavit that in their opin-
ion 7haw at the time of the inquiry
was suffering from an incurable form
Of insanity. These same doctors, how
ever had previously testified on the
witness stand in response to Jerome's
famous Hypothetical question that
they believed Thaw knew what he
was about when he shot and killed
White.
Prefer Asylum to Prison.
This move is intended by the de-
Tense as block to the prosecution In
putting these same doctors on the
stand is taken by some as showing q
determination that Thaw shall not ba
convicted even with the danger of q
stay in the asylum for the criminaliy
insane at Mattewan as an alternative.

beginning of the third day Of the
trial that the jury will not be secured
before the latter part of next week.
There were but 3 jurors sworn in the
| box when court convened today and
they represented the net proceeds Of
the first two panels of 100 talesmen
each The third and last panel Of 800
originally summoned reported today
and there was no thought that It
would furnish all the material needed
to complete the trial twelve. AS q re.
suit the court ordered 200 additional
talesmen to be summoned to report
tomorrow and Friday.
Two More Temporary Jurors.
John H. Ho1bert, an elderly man
and president of spring water com.
pany, and John Entwistle, builder,
were accepted as temporary jurors.
The former said he had formed an
opinion but was sure he could lay IL
aside. The latter said that he had no
prejudice against insanity as a de-
fense. Many talesmen were passed be-
cause they had too fixed opinions to
serve as fair Jurors.
/ At the afternoon session another
tentative juror secured in David q. Ar
rowsmith, manager Of carpet clean
ing concern Arrowsmfth is young
man and seemed to pass an ideal ex-
animation.
Clarence e. Anderson, a real estate

eperemptory challenges begins again.
