SILENT ON POLYGAMY
The Question Studiously Avoided by
 Utah Democrats.

Salt Lake Utah., June 9.-The six delegates from Utah to the democratic notional convention will go uninstruct- ed. Four Of the six, it is understood, are against Hearst with a leaning to- ward Parker as first choice. Two dele gates probably will support Hearst. For some time before the democratic state convention, which met today, it seemed almost certain that a bitter facticnal fight would be waged over the question of instructions or no in struCtiCns to the national delegates with regard to the polygamy question. One faction, led by Brigham H. Rob erts, was Outspoken in their demands that the delegates should be explicite- ly instructed to fight any anti-polyg- amy plank in the national platform. Another faction strongly favored the adoption of plank in the state plat form similar to that adopted by the Idaho democratic convention demand ing that the federal government take into it's own hands the suppression Of polygamy.
 It was finally decided by the party leaders to avoid all reference 70 the question and so thoroughly was this plan carried out that no committee on resolutions was appointed, and no platform was presented to the cOnven- tion. Temporary Chairman Tillman D. Johnson in his opening speech made a plea for an uninstructed delegation and said the only platform the demo- cratic party needed this year to win was an i-RooseveIt plank. This was the only reference to national is sues made

SCOUTS REPORT OF DIVORCE.
Wife of Juryman &C ctjen Expresses
Entire Trust I'M Husband.

Mrs. Jacob Goetjen, wife of the
juror in the Botkin case, whose
husband has admitted that an at
tempt was made to bride him,
believes implicitly that the meet
ing with the woman in blue"
and their subsequent journey to a
house of questionable repute at 800
Grant avenue was without any GRIM
inality ON his part. When inter-
viewed at Goetien's place of business
last night she stated that she had the
utmost confidence in her husband and
secuted the suggestion that she had
ever expressed an intention of securing
divorce. Further than this she de-
clined to discuss the matter.
Henry Goetjen, brother. of the
juror in question, was more willing to
explain. He stated that it was the be-
lief of the family that his brother had
been decoyed to the house at 800
Grapt avenue by some one who had
worked on HIS sympathies.
My brother is tender hearted he
said, and is easily led. Whatever mo-
tive is ascribed we are all satisfied
that he was duped into this meeting
with woman. He is happily mar

ried and neither his wife nor any
member of the family believes that
he has committed any crime. This
talk of divorce proceedings is rub
bish. He is not the kind of man
who would violate his marital vows"
rs your brother a drinking MANI"
was asked.
AT intervals he drinks heavily"
said the brother. ''Since he was ac-
copied on this jury he has been in
dulging in liquor and we all attribute
his behavior in the case TO that fact.
He could not and would not be bribed,
and if any attempt has been made to
swerve his judgment in the Botkin
case he took what he conceived was
the proper course. Since the develop
ments of the alleged bribery none of
the family have seen him and conse-
quently we are in the dark except
what we read in the newspapers"

Prosecution and Defense Claim That Present
Panel Is Entirely Acceptable and
Hearing Is Continued.

Both defense and prosecution in the
B0tkin trial have said that notwith-
standing the vagaries of Juror Jacob
! Goetjen, who claims to have been APP
preached with an offer of $50 to
hang the jury, tits a safe PROPOSE
ton to let the determination of the
womans guilt or innocence rest with
the present panel.
When Mrs. Cordeiia BotlSin arose in
open court and announced steadily
and without show Of emotion that she
insisted on verdict from the twelve
men on the present panel there was
no alternative left for Judge Cook or
| the District Attorney. Dissatisfaction
was evident both on. the part Of the
court and the prosecution. Evidently
/ they felt that Goetjen had disqualified
!! himself as Juror in the case by the
/ fact that he had discussed the case
with an outsider.
The voluntary acceptance Of the
| jury. by Mrs. BOtIsin imposed a legal
/ barricade 10 whatever objections the
/ prosecution could offer or that Judge
lCOok could impose in the exercise OF
/ his discretion. To have. rejected the
Iexisting jury after its acceptance by
the defendant would have placed her
/ in the position OF being twice in jeOp-
| ardy for the same crime and have Sc
cured her acquittal. ~.:'*
| District Attorney Byington was re-
! luctant to be interviewed on the sub
| ject of Juror Goetjens alleged mis-
givings The jury had been accepted
! by the defense, he said. and further
I discussion was in bad taste as long as
the case was pending.
q Il will state, however that the del
Tense has waived every claim to i'm
propriety on the part of the jury" he
said. land if it should return a YER
diet of guilty Mrs. Botkin must abide
| by the issue. She can never plead
that the jury was improperly COM
| posed.
''As to whether or not we are sat
! isfied with the jury 1 cannot say. We
| have accepted the panel and must try
the case before it. 1t is not the prop
er time to discuss the personnel of
| the jury while the case is pending
Attorney George A. Knight was
frank in his statement that Mrs. Bot
kin's demand for a verdict from the
present jury excluded all claims for a
reversal from the Supreme Court on
account of the unfitness of one or any
of the jurors to pass on the issues in
the case.
Mrs. Botkin's statement in open
court" he said, removes any conten-
ton of that kind. She is willing to
have the issues tried by the jury ac-
cepted by both sides. I stated yes
terday in court that the defense wish
ed the jury discharged. In this mo-
ton the prosecution concurred. l
was unwilling to have the case de-
cided by body of men on whom the
least faint of suspicion rested.
After the adjournment of court I
held a consultation with Mrs. Botkin
and told her plainly that 1 could not
devote three weeks more to the trial
Immediately: / have many important
civil matters to attend, and I have been
forced to neglect these during this trial.
After / had told her this she said she

CHARGES FILED AGAINST
MASON S. BLACKBURN
Supervising Inspector at Chinese De-
tention Shed Accused of Irritability
and Other Unpleasant Qualities.

Charges have been filed against Ma
son S. Blackburn, Supervising Inspect
or for the Bureau of immigration at
the Chinese detention shed of the Mail
dock, and Mr.. Blackburn is now en-
gagged in composing his answer to the
same. 1t is understood that bureau
watchmen under his supervision are
authors of the charges. Irritability
and other undesirable things are i'm
puted to him, all of which he denies.
He declares that he can prove every
count of the charges to be without
foundation.
United States immigration Commits
sioner Hart North was asked yester-
day as to the nature of the accusa-
tions against Blackburn. but he re-
fused to make them public. He ad-
mitted that the charges had been filed.
but denied that Mr.. Blackburn had

before the present jury, believing that
the showing OF the prosecution and the
testimony which viii be offered by the
defense will acGuit her under any con-
ditions. The statement she made In
court was entirely voluntary. and
knowing her frame OF mind acquiesced
in 1t.
'fexpect that the Introduction OF evil
dence by the defense will not occupy
more than two days unless the prOsectI-
ticn prolongs the case. NOtwithstand-
ing the revelations regarding the jury
am confident OF an acHnittal, because
my client is entirely innocent OF the
heinOus crime charged against her, the
charge being supported in the most
part by perJIred and purchased testi-
mOny.
ANY report that I have intiinated
wish to Withdraw from the. defense Is
false. Il stated in court that il the pros
ecution insisted s. on introducing evi-.
dence after the defense had opened and
the court allowed its introduction I
would withdraw from the case. Ny
statement had no relation to Mrs. Bot
kim. While I am receiving no cofnpen-
sation for defending her. and Mr.. Me

labors, We both feel that having started
once in the cause and having convinced
ourselves that the defendant is innO-
cent. it is our duty as members of the
bar and honorable lawyers to fight for
her to the last ditch against an unjust
accusation"
Chief Whitman said yesterday that no
further attempt was being made by the
police to locate the alleged briber who
approached Juror Goetjen with an offer
of $50 to hang the jury. There is an
air of unbelief about police headquar-
tiers that Goetjen was ever seriously
approached with a bribe, and his state
ments are taken with incredulity. The
bare fact that the juror on the night
that he claimed to have been ap'
preached imbibed fifteen drinks Of
whisky between his journey from the
Hall of Justice to his place of business,
at Fifth and Folsom streets, is a mat
ter of police record, and the belief is
expressed that the alleged attempt at
bribery was largely the result of in
diligence in drink.
An attempt to interview Mrs. BOtkin
at the County Jail last night met with
a refusal to discuss any phase of the
case. She said that her defense was
in the hands of her attorneys, and re-
ferred the reporter to them.

look of relief came to the faces of some
in the box. During the remainder of

Are watched Dy OmcefS and Denied
Any Visitors.
The jurors for the Botkin trial were
treated to a trip to the Alcazar Thea
ter last evening by way of little di-
version. In the charge OF Deputy
Sheriff Meinert and Bailiff Welch they
marched up Market street at a little
after o'clock.
The attention of passersby was at
tracted by the procession as they
passed along the street and before
they had reached the theater a large
crowd of street urchins was in their
wake.
Already many of the imprisoned
men are weary of their confinement,
despite the large rooms, ideal service
and attention that is given them. Even
the food that is taken, to the men is
first inspected by the officers before
it is admitted into the rooms and no
visitors are allowed to converse with
their friends. All this is in accord
ance with Judge Cooks Instructions
and the orders of Sheriff Curtis.
