, New York. Jan. 7. Speed in the se
lection of a Jury to try Harry K. Thaw
for the murder of Stanford White. whs
ai tested this afternoon after the tenth
Juror was delected and hud taken his
seat In the box.
The attorneys for the prosecution
and defence then went banc over the
list of men already accepted and two
of the Jurors was excused by consent.
They were:
James E. Conway, Juror No. 5.
William E. Hrower. Juror No. 6.
This left eight Jurymen in the box
with the probability of a further re
duction before the trial proceeds much
farther.
The bowling out of two of the Jur
ors already selected did not cause
much surprise as it was expected be
cause of extraordinary progress be
ing made that the prosecution and de
fense had In mind such a move.
It is understood that the process of
nearly filling the box, then weeding
out, will consume a great amount of
time. When ten men again are seat
ed there will likely bee further bowling
out. .
Before the two Jurors left the box
Thaw's lawyers and the prisoner con
ferred for some time In whispers, and
It developed later that the subject dis
cussed was the right of peremptory
challenge after the Jury box was filled.
As 'the morning seslon drew to a
close It was marked that talesman af
ter talesman made excuse that his
opinions, formed by reading of the last
trial could not be changed by evidence
to be submitted in this trial. Thaw
Is giving the closest attention to every
detail in the selection of the Jury, but
he Is not conferring with his attor
neys as often as he did on his first
trial This is taken to Indicate that
he has a much better understanding
with his lawyers than he had on that
ocoaslon.
The news that Mrs. Holman, mother
of Thaw's wife, had made a statement
In Pittsburg to the effect that she had
' freely forgiven her son-in-law for any
I thing he may have said or done
against her and expressed hopes that
he would be freed, filtered through the
court room shortly after noon. If It
reached Thaw and it evidently did,
he gave no sign of the fact.
(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
Now York, Jan. 7. Nine Jurors were
In the box when the second dqy of the
second trial of Harry Thaw for the
murder of Stanford White was begun
today The Jurors are all subject to
peremptory challenge and none has
been sworn. It Is likely that when the
box Is full It will be thinned out rap
idly and the examination of more
talesmen will be necessary. The opin
ion prevails nere, however, that this
trial will move much more rapidly
than the first and that there will be an
absence of wrangling In the seloctlon
Of the Jurors. There were those in

Paper Between
A LEIG H
EXTRA SESSION
Will Legislature Pass Prohi
bition Law?
GOVERNOR ON SUBJECT
Governor Glenn 'Will Neither I rge
or Oppose Measure, Hut Will
Leave .Members Free to Act As
'lhey Think Purpose, if Called,
Will lie to Consider Hates.
If tho general assembly of North
Carolina is called together in extra
session, it. niav, if its members so
desire, pass a state prohiultion law.
but Governor Glenn will not urge
it to do this.
A reporter of The Evening Times,
in the course of his rounds todav,
called upon the governor and asked
lor news. The governor did not
have any at .the lime, and remarked:
It is about time for von to have
a special seslon of the legislature
storv."
The .reporter modestlv informed
the governor that the subject had
been .pretty: well handled, and then
addressed a rather pertinent ques
tion. ' If vou will tell me, governor,
whether or not vou will recommend
stale prohibition, vou will give mo
a good siorv."
But. as an amateur theatrical star
remarked to De Quinsev about
ninety-five years ago. "There was
absolutely nothing doing." Gover
nor Glenn smiled and said he would
not interfere with the legislative
branch of the government.
' I shall call the legislature to
gether to consider the question of
rates. What it may do, I do not
know, and am not worrying over
the matter."
By this statement one niav infer
what he chooses. " The governor said
it Is premature to sav what. will be
done, and intimated that he would
neither urge or discountenance the
members from passing on the ques
tion of stale prohibition by legisla
tive enactment.
A special seesion of the legisla
ture, however, is as far off this af
ternoon as at anv time, since the
Atlantic Coast Line declined to be a
party to the compromise measure
accepted bv tho other railways.
While the opinion is generally
expressed that there will be an ex
tra session, the governor has said
Unit lie will not call it unless all tne
railroads are willing. He does not
intend to act in the matter unless
he has the consent of tho roads con
cerned. IS STARTLED
(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
New York, Jan. 7. The diamond
Jewelry trade has been startled by
the announcement that four of the
largest diamond dealers on Fifth
avenue are embarrassed, with lia
bilities of $4,500,000 and assets of
$0,250,000, and that their affairs
have been put In tho hands of trus
tees for liquidation.
The concerns are the .Joseph
Frankels Sons Company. Joseph
Frankels Sons, 'Rattle. Et.tinger &
Hummel, all of 070 Fifth avenue,
and E. M. Cattle & Company of 4 20
Fifth avenue. These are all corpo
rations. An Incident of the troubles of the
Joseph Frankel Sons Company was
the Importation five years ago of the
Hope diamond. The diamond lias
been unsalable, and the company
has not had an offer of anywhere
near its value. The Hope is a beau
tiful Bapphire blue stone weighing
44 carats. The Frankels are said
to have held It at $250,000.
