William street. Campbell is Reticent. Campbell was reticent when asked to make , some statement regarding his removal, "I have nothing at all to say at the present time," he said. He was told that Fair had talked freely and that he ought to do the same. He persisted . In refusing to make any explanation. It was intimated to him that he must have some secret reason for refusing to talk, but he could not be budged from his determination to keep silent. "But when the trial is over I may have something to say", he declared,
"and at that time I will explain my side of the case." Immediately after being excused Campbell left the court room. He returned in a few minutes and took Fair into one of the consultation rooms and advised him to have nothing to say. When Campbell was being examined prior to acceptance as a juror, almost the last Question asked him by Attorney Hartridge was: "Do you know of any reason why you would not make a fair and competent juror in thi3 case?" "No, except that my business is in such shape that I would worry about it" was the answer. "Then you feel that business worry would prevent your concentrating your mind upon the evidence, weighing it carefully and giving it that consideration, especially due a capital case?" "Yes sir", said the talesman, "that i.-i, I couldn't give my mind to the case." "Challenge withdrawn" was Mr. Hartridges next remark, and everybody was surprised. "Xo challenge." said the district
attorney and Campbell was shown In. Two Jurors Qualify. The rejection of Campbell and Fair

the counsel for the defense, said this afternoon : "Jack" Barrymore's presence in the court room is just a grand stand play on the part of the district attorney to try to prevent Evelyn Xesbit Thaw from going on the stand. "It' won't work. That is, it doesn't alter any plan of the defense one iota. Young Mrs. Thaw cannot be affected by such a move." This positive statement from one
of the smartest of Thaw's counsel in-, dicated that the battle for Thaw' s life ! would be quite as fierce as anyone has j
anticipated; that counsel are watching the moves of one another in the veriest detail, and that nothing reflecting on any phase of the case will go unchallenged. Late tonight it was rumored that
still another juror will be excused to- Tne resignation of W. E. Scott, sec-

How well the jury pleases the defense was shown by the remark or Mrs. William Thaw, who for the first time since the trial began talked to the reporters, she saying: "I am simply delighted with the jury so far as it. has been chosen. They appeared to be highly intelligent and fair minded. I am sure that my son cannot fail to be pleased with them. It is as fine a jury as Harry himself could have picked. Harry will not suffer with this iury." Thaw Has a Dream. Outside of the excusing of the two jurors the chief thing of interest in the court room today was the efforts of the Thaw women folk to prove to the outside and observing world that they were all at harmony and that no dissensions disturbed their tranquility. The result was that the accused seemed cheerful in a marked degree during the day. He confided
an unconscious state and remained
so for a number of hours. It was a very narrow escape from death and it is hoped by his many friends that there will be a speedy recovery. He was reported some better this morning.
