ATTORNEYS GETTING ACTIVE
New Developments In Stuenenberg
Murder Case.
WANT BAIL FOR M0YER AND HAYWOOD
IF SUPERIOR COURT DENIES
REQUEST, MATTER WILL GO
TO SUPERIOR COURT.
WANT BAIL FOR MoYER and HAYWOOD

BOISE CITY, Aug. 20.-New de-
velopments in the case in which Chas.
H. Meyer, William D. Haywood and
George A. Pettibone are charged with
the murder of former Governor Frank
Stuenenberg are promised within a
short time. 1t has been given out that
within a few days the principal attor-
neys for the defense will be in Boise
for the purpose of taking steps for the
benefit of their clients who are still
in custody in the Ada county Jail.
Clarence barrow, who has charge of
the defense, E. F. Richardson, the Den
yer attorney, and Fred Miller of Spo-
kane. are expected. John F. Nugent
is now in Boise and has been since
first retained in the case. The dis
trict court for Canyon county will
convene for the September term on
September 6, and it is thought that the
attorneys for the defense are planning
to go before the court at that time with
a new request that their clients be
admitted to bail. If this is not granted
an appeal may be taken to the supreme
court.
1t will be remembered that after the
Canyon county court decided that the
cases could not go to trial until the
United States supreme court had
rendered an opinion on the appeal
taken from the decision Of Judge
Beatty of the federal court, denying a
writ of habeas corpus in the case of
each of the three men held to answer
for the crime, a request for admis
sion to bail for each was denied. Since
that time the defendants have been
held in the Ada county Jail.
