HARRY THAW ON
TRIAL AGAIN
DEFENDANT IS NERVOUS BUT IS
cHEERED BY FAITHFUL WIFE
AND FAMILY.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-The Thaw
trial was opened this morning with the
dismissal of hundred veniremen who
had been illegally summoned because
of a technical error in printing their
names. The second venire was sum-
moned and many were on the ground
before the first had departed.
Early in the case Justice Bowling
declared that he would not allow un-
necessary wrangling between the at
tOrneys to delay the case. Thaw wore
the same dark blue suit today as he
did during the last trial. Evelyn was
dressed as in the last case also Harry
gave a CHEEKY greeting to his wife and
family.
The proceedings did not open until
11:30. Thaw grew nervous over the
delay but cheered up with the visit of
his sister, Mrs. George Carnegie and
his brother Josiah. During the balance
of the morning session only the brief
preliminaries were completed.
Attorney LittletOn made a reserva-.
tion in the Thaw plea of not guilty so
he could interpellate the later Tnaw
plea of insanity. William +. Miller was
the first venireman called. He said he
knew White but had 10 opinion. He
was accepted by the prosecution but
challenged by the defense and excused
The next three veniremen were ex-
cused. In the afternoon session EvelyI:
was given q seat inside the rail. At
noon she visited her husband.
