Read the Journal Courier for full re. ports of all the Chapman meetings. '
 It is safe to say that since the com. ing of the Chapman evangelists to New Haven the results of no meeting haw been awaited with such mingled feel ings of anxiety and curiosity as tho one held at Morris Herrinann's saloon at 61 Church street last evening. Chap man enthusiasts will take up their, pa. pers this morning with certain feal- ing of uncertainty; the non-religiouS element will have a keen sense of curi~ osity in looking for the account of the meeting. and there will be few among those who were present at the frst saloon meeting wno will have anythinu other than respect for the man, Will liam Asher. and his wife, who did what might seem to be the impossible. JAS MT. Asher put it. he wanted to 'get right with the boys" and he did.
 Mir. Asher is master of his art, il art indeed it is. Almost from the mo. ment he entered the saloon he had .'the boys with him. His secret was to be one Of them with them and he sue. ceeded. It might seem that no audi ence would be harder to control and move than one in saloon. made up al it is of men of all classes of society. and especially so along religious lines
 There was a curious crowd at tho saloon for a considerable time before the energetic little man and his wife came along. The spirit among them seemed to be that lark might we'll be expected. MT. Hermann remarked in half serious sort of way, "The per- formance will begin at o'clock" A bystander asked him if lemons and seltzer might be In great demand later on.
 But all that sort of thing was for gotten the moment the two evangelists came in. Hello, Bill; hello, Jake,'' were Mir Asher's first words, turning first this way and then that to men he had undoubtedly never seen before. It put them at ease. They saw at once that he vas a boy with the boys.
 Mir Asher carried a little organ which looked much like a regulation commercial travellers sample case and had been given them by the saloon keepers in St. Paul. It was set up at the rear end of the bar in a jiffy and opened. Mir and Mrs. Asher had their coats off and the meeting was on be. fore the boys realized it.

DEFENSE SPRINGS SURPRISE To Summon Expert Witnesses Who Testified for the State at the
 First Trial.
Permanent Jurors.

New York. Jan s.---The work of se- curing jury to try Harry K. Thaw a second time for the killing of stan ford White was half completed when court adjourned shortly before 6 o'clock tonight. The original venire of 800 special service jurors had been exhausted at that hour and the cus- tomary night sitting was abandoned. Two hundred additional talesmen have been ordered to report tomorrow morning.
 The oath of service was administer ed to-day to three men, making six in all who have been finally accepted. Three provisional jurors were also in the box at the close of the days ses- sions. but they arc still subject to per- emptory challenges. Another storm of those arbitrary removals struck the panel when all twelve seats had been filled at o'clock and six chairs were left vacant when 1t subsided. The de- fense now has exercised eleven of its thirty challenges and the prosecution eight.
 The plan of maintaining both per manent and temporary jurors in the trial panel until twelve men finally are selected for service is unique in the New York courts and has i'm posed a double duty upon the guards who are directed each night to keer the sworn jurors and the provisionals separate.
 Thaw's attorneys to-day furnished the first big surprise of the second trial by admitting that several of the expert witnesses who served on the staff of the district attorney at the first trial. and who declared when Mir. Je. rome made application for lunacy commission. that in their opinion Thaw so insane as not to know tht nature of the proceedings agains him and was entirely incapable of in. telligently advising with his counsel are now under subpoena by the de. | fense.
 They made affidavit that in thei, opinion That at the time of the in. quiry was suffering from an incurabl, form of insanity. These same doctors however, had previously testified or the witness stand, in response to MT Jerome's famous hypothetical aues ton, that they believed Thaw knev what he was about when he shot ant killed Stanford White. This move. i Is said, is intended by the defense as ; block to the, prosecution in putin, these same doctors on the stand, ant is taken by some as showing a deter imitation that Thaw shall not be con victed even with the danger of a sta, in the asylum for the criminal insan at Mattewan, as the alternative. I If they are placed on the stand | Mir. Littleton may interrogate an, draw from these men the opinion tha Thaw was also insane at the time O the homicide and then endeavor t limit all testimony as to the defen dant's mental condition to the imme diate principles period of the tragedy If successful in this the defense woul force a trial of the case strictly o, . Thaw's mental condition in the sum mer of 1906.
 This in turn would force Distric Attorney Jerome again to apply for lunacy commission and Thaw's attor ney's are confident of his ability sue cessfully to fight out his claim c present sanity before such board.
