j and Dismissed.
New York, Jan. 1.-THE fifth day
OF the second trial of Harry K. Thaw
found the opposing attorneys still en-
gagged at the task of jury building.
There were seven sworn jurors in the
box when Fridays proceedings began
with the fifth panel Of 100 talesmen to
draw from in filing the vacancies. By
dint Of hard work during the last hour
OF the morning session the box had
been filled when the luncheon recess
was ordered, the last five men being
subject to peremptory challenge. This
was the fifth time since Monday that
all the Jury seats had been occu-
pied.
Swear In Last Juror.
After recess, two of the five tempo
rary jurors were excused and three
sworn, leaving at that time only two
vacancies yet to be filed in the trial
panel.
The jury-box was filled again, two
being subject to challenge. Horace
8. Meese, publisher, was last
chosen. Then both of the last two
temporary Thaw jurors were excused
and provisional jurors were again ac-
cepted.
Actress Again subpoenaed.
Rumors of mistake in identity

Edna Goodrich, the actress wanted as
= witness for the defense in the trial
of Harry K. Thaw, led to the serving

playing. William Moore, from Attor-
ney Peabody's office, made the serv-
ice. Miss Goodrich and her mother
received him on the stage, and the
actress willingly accepted the papers
and promised to be on hand whenever
desired. The sixth panel Of 100 tales
men was ordered to report in court
Saturday, Justice Bowling accepting
the prevailing opinion that the five
Jury vacancies existing would not be
filled from the Friday panel.

their fines and were examined for
service. The last one of the four, Will

some question in his mind as to what

doubt in weighing the evidence. He
concluded, however, that he would
take the courts ruling in the matter.

tory challenge was directed against
Clayton r. Olena, clerk, who had
qualified for cause.
Slow Progress Made.

talesmen at the early session was
slow. Both District Attorney Jerome
and Mr.. Littleton for the defense

posed Jurors at great length, and dur
