the lambs Is Chicago ana the prlca paid
for them Is said to have been $50.
In speaking Of the SITUATE Mr., Foy
this morning said idaho Is right now
suffering from the worst car famine In
her history. IL seems absolutely imp0s-
sible to get doube-deck sheep cars and
the fact Of the matter Is that lha
double-deck equipment throughout the

of the business. | should say that there
must be quite $500 carloads of sheep
waiting for shipment in Idaho right

meDt was made and the taking OF tes-
timony commenced.
At the afternoon session, District At
torney Eiohnor made q brief opening
statement setting out the facts cons
nected with the case 10 be proven by
the state. He said In part:
III the court please and gentlemen
OF the jury--We are now about to begin
the principal part OF this trial You
heard the information read this morn
Ing by the clerk in which Merrill M.
Kaighn Is charged with the murder OF
Willard $. Haynes on November 20,
1901, at the knutsford hotel 1t Is al
ways an unpleasant task to prosecute
any person, and more particularly upon
the charge Of murder. You no doubt
realize the responsibility which rests
upon you and WIN do justice 10 the
state and defense,
1T will eventually appear that the
deceased was acquainted with the
Kalghn family and with this defend
ant. II will also appear that about /
o'clock on the day OF the shooting
Kaighn went TO the Salt Lake Hard
ware company to look az revolver

showed him several guns, all OF which
were unsatisfactory except this one
Exhibiting the revolyer), which he pur-
chased He then purchased some car
tridges and requested Mr. Fowler to
load the gun for him. which he did.
He then put the gun In his hip pocket,
threw his overoat over his arm and
walked out
xtfa h.t he az hn
Knutsford hotel, where he asked the
clerk, Mr.. Burton, for Mr.. Haynes, Mr..
Haynes was sitting in a chair In the
lobby and was pointed out TO defendant.
Defendant then walked over 10 Mr..
Haynes and said something TO him,
after which the latter arose and with
defendant walked over 10 settee In
the southeast corner Of the lobby,
where they sat down.
Shortly afterward Miss Hemphlll,
stenographer, came down stairs and
sat down at her desk a few feet north
Of the settee, She looked around and
noticed defendant and Mr.. Haynes sit
ting on the settee. About five or seven
minutes later she heard n shot and
turning around saw Mr. Haynes rise
and heard him exclaim, IL am shot"
Que saw HliNAlE WIN
this revolver in his hand
'Some gentleman IN the hotel took
his revolver from him. BY this time
the patrol wagon had arrived and Offs
GER Hempel came in the hotel, Kaighn
called 10 him and said. Hello Hempel,
am your man Hempel asked him
what he shot Haynes for, TO which he
said that that was his business De-
PENDANT was then taken 10 the city jail.
'Mr. Haynes was removed to the hos
p'tal where. on Dec, 10. 1901, he died.
He made no dying declaration becau,c
he did not expect his injuries TO prove
fatal. He said that when he recovered
he would make full statement Of the
matter, hence any statement he made
was not a dying declaration and could
not be admitted In any court of JUS
tice.''
Judge King objected to Mr.. Elchnor
on the ground that he was arguing
point OF law. Mr. Echnor stated
thet II was not necessary to make AT
opening statement and as objections
had been made he would close, which
he did after assuring the Jury that
they would hear from him later.
j. II. Plough was the first Witness
called for the prosecution.

I'D lO.5O ocIock thls morning

At 1850 o'clock this morning the
twelfth juror to try Roy Kaighn for
the murder Of Willard $. Haynes was
secured In the person OF James Kemp,
a farmer residing at Crescent The
eleventh Juror, Henry g. Rawlings, was
secured late yesterday afternoon, and.
although there were only few names
left from which TO choose, yet no spec
clal venire was issued, as It was
thought the twelfth man could be OBJ
talned from among them.
The trial commenced In earnest al 2
O'Clock this afternoon. when the open
ing statement was made by Dist Atty.
Eichnor and the examination Of Wit
nesses commenced II Is expected that
the case will be finished this week and
by Saturday afternoon Roy Kaighn will
know his fate.
The young prisoners relatives. who
have been so attentive to him from
the very first, occupied their usual
places In court this morning. The
strain OF the trial ID beginning to tell
on Mrs. kaighn, who has attended ev-
cry session from the very start. She
mas visited Roy at the county jail every
day since his Incarceration. AT this
mornings session she became very
faint and was compelled to retire to
Judge Morse's private office, accompan.
led by her friend. Mrs. Wilson. After
court adjourned she came very near
taintng In the corridor but was able
10 control herself until she reached her
home,
The proceedings this morning began
with the examination OF eight jurors
on their yolr dire, Out of the eight,
only four passed muster and had their
names placed In the box.
The examination OF Harry y. Lyle
as to his statutory qualifications
brought forth an amusing incident. The
clerk called his name Henry 7. Ly-
tie"
That's me- said the Juror.
Harry 7. Lyle called the clerk.
Mr.. Lyle said that was his name.
Nov, which is it, Henry or Harry2'
asked Mr.. Elchnor
Harry replied the Juror.
Then you forgot your name when
you came here this morning." asked
the district attorney. Mr.. Lytlo adj
mitted that such was the case.
The first man to take a place in the
jury box was Farley Petit, but he was
soon challenged on the ground Of i'm
piled bias
Mr.. Lyle came next and went the
way OF Petit.
James Kemp. farmer from Crescent,
was passed for cause by the defense.
after a searching examination, and was
taken In hand by Mr.. Eichnor. He
was also passed for cause by the state
and as the state and defense both
passed him on their peremptory chal-
lenge he was. at 1880 a. m. sworn and
accepted as the twelfth juror.
The jury was then sworn In and
Clerk Armstrong read the information
and the plea OF defendant to the
charge. Mr.. Elchnor asked that a re-
cess be taken until O'clock. as one
OF the principal witnesses, DR.. Root
was engaged In the hospital this morn
Ing and could not be present until that
time.
The request was granted, and re-
cess taken. and upon the opening OF
