{aul 2 / J ’ DEMOCRAT, Second Trial of Harry K. Thaw Martin W. Littleton, Leading Lawyer For the Defense, a Graduate of the School of Hard Knocks—His Remarkable Rise to Prominence—Judge Dowling a Hustler. Luxury For Jurymen. EN who seek] jury duty not commonly belong to the class called prominent citizens. The “prom. cit.” will usually go ®everal blocks out of his way to avoid sitting on a jury, and the modest fee customarily award. ed for such service does not, as a rule, reconcile him to HARRY abandonment of the duties of his ordinary vocation. In the case of the second trial of Harry K. Thaw the judge presiding was anxious to secure representative men as jury- men and determined that they should have as good accommodations while on such duty as the best circumstanced of them could have in their own homes. No sleeping om benches “cold victuals” for Thaw jurors were his orders, so a suit of rooms in one of the swellest hostelries of the city was engaged al an expense, it is sald, of $200 per d It 1s a hotel which contains mural paintings and statuary ind tape K.

There was no fire on the North river In celebration of his arrival, and for a time the big city seemed cruelly obliv- fous of his budding genius. ' But success came in due season, and In 19003 he was chosen president of the populous borough of Brooklyn.
