Nearly all the talesmen examined seemed anxlou to serve, and the challenges were In nearly every Instance of a peremptory character, nearly evenly divided between the prosecution and the defense. The examination of the first talesman was followed with the Interest as It waa thought the line of questioning by the attorneys for Thaw would develop the character of the defense they are to act up. There was disappointment In this respect. Tbe defendant's couasel seemed willing to accept the proposed Juror who satisfactorily answered the questions- put by District Attorney Jerome,- who personally conducted the examination. The defense peremptorily challenged two talesmen, however, who gave their . ' bnaineaa aa architects. Unwritten Law. Mr. Jerome asked each talesmen In turn If he would he Influenced by the or unwritten law to tlia exclusion of the actual laws of the state aa they would be laid down by Justice ntsgerald. These waa none to aay that he would not secern the courts ruling on all questions of At law. On the question of insanity si an excuse for crime, Mr. Jerome explained to each talesman that the law excused only those persona who were laboring under such a defective reason as not to know the nature or the quality of the act committed, or even t know the act waa wrong. The talesmen said that In this, toe, they would be guided solely by the court. The usual ' percentage of talesmen who declared their conscientious scruples against, capital punishment waa missing today. On the other hand, every talesman examined said formed or expressed an opinthe case. AH admitted, however. that their opinions were bated on newspaper reports, and theae had lieen so conflicting from time to time a to make their opinions susceptible of change by actual evidence. The talesmen were asked If they knew Thaws friends, or White's, or any one connected with the caae. They were asked whether they were on the Madison Hqunre roof garden the night of the tragedy; If they had friends in Pittsburg, or If their sympathy and emotions would affect their Judgment. The presence of three noted alienists in the courtroom aa prospective witnesses for the prosecution created some comment. Thaw In Courtroom.
