MOTHER, WIFE AND SISTER IN COURT
Out of Nineteen Taleamen Twe Were
Chesen Fer Jary That Will Held
Fate of Stanford White's
Slayer In Their Hands.
NEW YORK, Jan 24-The curtain
Was rung up Io the criminal court bere
fer another sct In the tragedy of real
life known as the Thaw-White case.
The setting was not the gay all night
restaurantes of the Tenderloin, where
tha principal actors In the tragedy once
were familiar figures. It was not the
reef garden crowded with the sum-
mer revelers who on the night of the
tragedy clinked their glasses In
rhythm to the dance music of the or
chestra and listened laughingly to the
songs of the soubrette and then were
hushed into a silence of horror as three
piste! shots cracked and a famous and
wealthy architect lay dead at the lit-
tle round table where he bad been
chatting with friends.
The story of the play was brought
down to the grim courtroom scene
where twelve men are to sit and render
& judgment which may mean either
the taking of another life, this time
by the state, or a determination that
Harry K. Thaw was justified in the
claim that be shot the man who had
“ruined his: wife.” There may be a
third decision, that Thaw was insane
HARRY K. THAW.
at the time he committed the crime—
“emotional insanity” it Is called—but
there will be no opportunity to say
that Thaw is now a lunatic.
Two jurors were chosen out of nine
teen talesmen examined to well and
truly weigh the evidence that will be
presented to them and render a ver-
dict with even handed justice. A
third juror had been accepted and
sworn, but be was excused for reasons
of a private nature.
The examination of the first tales-
men called from the large panel was
followed with the keenest interest, as
it was thought the line of questioning
by the attorneys for Thaw would de-
velop the character of the defense they
are to set up. There was disappoint-
ment iu this respect. The defendant's
counsel seemed perfectly willing to
accept any proposed juror who satle-
factorily answered the questions put
by District Attorney Jerome, who per-
sobslly conducted the examinations.
The defense peremptorily challenged
two taleamen, however, who gave thelr
business as architects.
Mr. Jerome asked each talesman In
turn if be would be Influenced by any
80 called higher or unwritten law to
the exciusion of the actual laws of the
state as they would be laid down by
Justice Fitzgerald. There was none to
say he would not accept the court's rul-
ing as to all questions of law, whether
they agreed with the law or not.
On the question of Insanity as an ex-
cuse for crime Mr. Jerome explained to
each talesmman that the law excused
only these persons who were laboring
under such a defective reason as not
to know the mature or the quality of
the act committed or even to know
that the act was wrong.
The talesmen were asked If they
knew Thaw's friends or White's or
any one else connected with the case.
They were asked If they were on the
Madison Square Roof Garden the night
of the tragedy, if they had friends In
Pittsburg or If thelr sympathy or emo
tions would affect their fair minded
judgment. The examinations by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome and by Thaw's
counsel varied but little on essential
points. The presence of three noted
alienists In the courtrooms as prospec
tive witnesses for the prosecution cre
ated some comment.
Thaw sat daring the day at the table
set apart for his counsel. At times be
seemied to take a lively Interest in the
examination of the men summoned to
decide his rate, leaning well forward
and holding his band to hs ear to
catch avery word that might fall from
the lips of the tuleswen. Aguila Le
would seem listless, nud his eyes, deep
set and having something of a stare,
reved about the courtroom. His face
was pallid, doubtless due to his seven
mouthy confluement in the Tombs,
Thaw is fully six feet in height and is
quits thin. Ile wore a dark blue sack
suit and had always with bim a plaid

Mrs. William Thaw, the prisoners
mother, was the first of the family to
arrive. She was dressed plainly In
black and wore a heavy black veil, het
white hair showing ia striking contrast
against the somber costume. She sal
with her eyes fixed upon her son and
spoke but seldom to her children about
ber. During the long and somewhai
tedious afternoon session she threw
back the vell better to see and study
the faces of the prospective jurors as
they were called to the stand.
The Countess of Yarmouth, who was
Miss Alice Thaw, followed her mother.
Her gown was of brown, cut with coal
effect. The brown hat was of fur, and
4 heavy brown vell covered her face
But the countess, too, after she had
become mere accustomed to her sur
roundings pushed aside the veil which
bad hidden ber features. There was a
decided murmur In the courtroom as
the spectators uoted the striking re
seublance between the countess and
the prisoner. The lines of her face
were more delicate and the features
daintily molded, but these served to
make the resemblance all the more
striking. 5
Mrs. George Lauder Carnegle, an
other sister of the defendant, came in
with the countess, and there was a
lively craning of pecks to catch the
first glimpse of Mrs Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw, around whom the storm of the
great trial will rage. She quickly ap
peared with May McKenzie, the ac
tress, who has been her sole companion
since the night of the tragedy when
the artist's model wife of Stauford
White's slayer fled to Miss McKenzile's
apartment. The younger Mrs Thaw
was dressed lu dark blue and wore a
piain dark bat, which was almost en-
tirely covered by a white tulle vell, but
her features were plainly discernible.
and there was about them much of the
beauty which caused her to be so wild:
Iy sought as a model by noted artists.
Her dark mass of hair made a pretty
setting for the Ivory of her cheeks
She seemed to take the keenest interest
fu every question put to the talesmen
and was coastantly nodding ber head
as If to give assent to some mental
conclusion she had reached. Hardly
otice during the day Jid Harry Thaw
take his eyes from the front and look
ut biz relatives. His brother, Edward
Thaw, and brother-in-law, George Car

The Jurors who remained In the box
when the day was done and who were

Percign Office Has Report From Ja
maiea’s Ruler, but Is Silent For the
Preseai~More Shocks nt Kiugs-
ton Destrey lonaes.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 —The pres!
dent has Haally dismissed the Incident
connected with the refusal by Govern
or Swetienbam of Jamaica of aid from
Admiral Davis, as Is shown Iu the fol
lowing letter, made public at the state
department, addressed by Acting See
retary Bacon to the English charges
d'affaires:
“l have the honor to acknowledge
Sour note in which you communicats
the substance of the instructions re
ceived by you from Bir Edward Grey
in reference to the Jamalca incident.
“1 hasten to assure you on behalf of
the president that this government wil
pay no heed whatever to the matter
and very much appreciates the frank
and ready courtesy nnd conslderatior
shown in this dispatch by Sir Edward
Grey.
“l ean only repeat to you In thh
more formal way what [ said to you
personally, assuring you of the presi
dent's sincere appreciation of the cor
dial spirit shown by your government.”
The foreign office at London has
beard from Governor Swettenham of
Jamaica concerning the incident in
volving the withdrawal of the Ameri
can warships from Kingston. Abso
lute secrecy is maintained at the colo
nial office.
It is pot the present Intention of the
colonial office to make the telegrams
public.
Discussion of the incident discloses
the fact that the British view makes a
clear differentiation between Govern
of BSwetlenhaw's opposition to the
presence of a foreign force on Ja
malcan soll and his manner of ex
pressing this opposition, What the
British government and people now
condemn fis the tone of the letter tg
Rear Admiral Davis, the foreign office
having declared that there was “no
excuse for such language from an of
ficial to the officer of a friendly na.
tion engaged in a work of humanity,’
and the press and public are adopting
8 substantially similar view But on
the question whether or not Governo:
Swettenham was justified in asking
Rear Admiral Davis to withdraw his
armed forces from the island British
opinion inclines to bold that Governot
Swettenham acted clearly within his
rights, although mauy persons contend
that the abnormal conditions should
have induced the governor to walve the
usual requirements if, as Is supposed
here, Rear Admiral Davis landed ma
rines at Kingston without a specific
request from the governor,

KINGSTON, Jau. 24. — The Dally
Telegrupli ln a scathing editorial art!
cle arraigus Governor Swettenham as
follows:
“We would be unfaithful to our du
ties as exponents of public opinion If
we falled to call attention to the ex.
truordinary conduct of his excellency
In the prescut crisis. His general be
havior at a moment of great peril and
difficulty was unworthy a respousible
British official and even a cultured
English gentleruan,
“Hix letter to Rear Admiral Davis
was a production of which he sught to
be ashamed and of which the Jamal
caus are ashamed. The Uunlted States
is a friendly natiou, thelr bone is Brit
ish bone, and thelr Sesh is British flesh,
and no one but a blinded bigot would
have refused to admit American land
ing parties
“The men from the American war
ships did magnificent work In remov-
ing the debris and recovering bodies,
and the naval surgeons performed an
equally splendid service. The action of
the governor was absolutely reprehen-
sible. We want a man who does not
spend his time riding about the city
cursing officials who are endeavoring
to work loyally. The people of this
commuuity have lost confidence In his
power of guidance and are (ndigoant
at his autocratic, bullying sud Insulting
manner.”
Two earthquake shocks, the heaviest
since the destructive ones of Jan, 14,
were felt here at 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. Several, buildings were
thrown down, and there was great
alarm among the people. No one was

Berry of Arkansas, Who Opposed the
Measure, Sald Many Hepresenta-
tives Could Not Earn $3.000
Outside of Legislature.
WASHINGTON, Jah. 24 ~The sen
ate by a vote of 58 to 21 adopted the
house amendment to the legislative ap
propriation bill Increasing from $3 004
to $7.50 the salaries of senators and
representatives aud from $5,000 to $12,
000 the salaries of the vice president,
the speaker of the house and the mem
bers of the cabinet
Mr. Berry (Dem, Ark) opposed the
lucreases.
“1 deny,” he said, “that senators snd
representatives cannot live within the
salary of $5,000. They have done it.”
He referred te the allowance for
clerk hire which members were former
Iy compelled to pay and to the state
ment that senators or members could
earn more In private life, saying
“I don’t belleve that one-half of the
senators and representatives could or
did earn $5,000 a year In private life
One-half of the time of members only
Is taken up by the sessions of congress,
and the rest could be given to private
enterprises. This time Is devoted to
private enterprises at any rate”
Mr. Nelson (Rep, Minn) offered a»
amendment fo strike out the =alary In
creases for senators and represents
tives and in advocating his amendment
said that the United States paid sena
tors and representatives more than any
other country in the world pald the
members of its legislative assemblies
“We are not here merely to work
for the government under contract for
a given sum.” sald he, “but we sc
cept the place as a post of honor”
Congress, be thought, could more ap
propriately give the sun to raise the
salaries of rural carriers who traveled
in all kinds of weather. The trouble
with many senators and representa-
tives was that they came to Washing
ton expecting to shine in a social way
like diplomats. it was never expect.
ed that senators and representatives
should entertain like diplomatic repre
senlatives,
Mr. Lodge (Mess) advocated the In
creases. Great Britain, be sald, would
in his judgment be driven soon to adopt
the salary system for legislators, be-
cause under the nonsalary system now
prevalling only the rich could go to
parliament, and the poorer or working
classes were without a representation
from thelr own number. He drew a
picture of the condition of the late
Senator Hoar
“l uever knew a man who cared seo
little for money,” sald Mr. Lodge
“Senator Hoar dled = poor man. He
gave his life absolutely to the public
service”
Mr. Mallory (Dem, Fla) moved to
amend by making the Increase take of
fect in March, 1913.
Mr. Tillman (Dem, 8. C) pronounce
ed Mr. Mallory's amendment “absurd.”
He declared be was ready to vote the
increase now to take effect at once,
and If anybody didn’t lke it he would
resign and let the people pass upou it
“1 offered wy amendment seriously,”
sald Mr, Mallory .
“Anybody who knows the senator
from Florida knows he is incapable of
humor,” replied Mr. Tillman
He thought it would not matter so
wuch what salaries senators obtained
ng fir as what they did here was con-
cerned
“There Is a feeling abroad that the
senate no longer represents the people,
but the corporations.” he added.
