Charges Prejudice on Part of
Foreman Of Grand Jury.

Especial TO The Herald from Staff Cor

Boise, Ida, March 16.-It is alleged in
an affidavit filed in the Caldwell court
this morning that the indictments
against the Steunenberg murder case
defendants, Meyer, Haywood and Petit
bone, should be stricken from the files
of the court for numerous reasons, chief
among which is that A. B. Moss, fore
man of the grand jury, visited Boise
after the grand jury had been impan-
eled and had a long consultation with
Governor GOOdingS Detective McPar-
land. Prosecutor Hawley and others
connected with the states side of the
case. As the result. of this conference.
the affidavit goes on, Foreman Moss
became deeply and bitterly prejudiced
against the defendants. The assertion
is made that this prejudice was ex-
pressed openly in an opinion that all
of the defendants were guilty.
The papers fled included a written
application for bail for the three de-
PENDANTS. It is set up in motion that
the only testimony against them was

Nj Hawley promptly pronounced the
affidavit a tissue of falsehOods from
beginning to end, inspired by. a desire
to becloud the real issues in the case.
Attorney Richardson declared that

source as to give him confidence in il,

time a subpoena, at the request of Mr..
Richardson. was issued for Mr.. Moss,
returnable at he same hour An inter
esting session of court is promised.
The other objections of the defense to
the indictments were contained in six
documents They are almost entirely
technical in character. Irregularities
are charged in the summoning of the

arrest of the men in Colorado and their
return to Idaho is told again by way
of challenging the jurisdiction of the

The Queer Chameleon.

There is nothing in the world will In
duce a chameleon to take even the
slightest apparent interest In its sur
roundings unless it be the sight Of
what it considers a toothsOme insect.
The chameleon's method Of taking its
prey is very curious, being effected by
shooting out an enormously long,
wormlike tongue, the end Of which is
dubbed and covered with a viscid Sc
erection, to which the insects stick and
are thus drawn into it's mouth. The ac-
tual projection of the tongue ia made
with marvellous rapidity. The eyes Of
the chameleon are very curious. They
are very large, but, with the exception
Of small opening in the center, are
covered with skin. They are also en-
tirely independent Of each other, with
the result that occasionally the crea-
ture is looking forward over its nose
with one eye, while with the other it is
intently watching something directly
behind if.

A young lady friend Of our aequalnt.
ance has recently received a shock.
Among her extensive male aequaint.
ances there is a blue eyed youth. He
goes much into society and is a. hot IA
vorite among the nicer sex because of
his eyes. Alack! One Of them is glass.
But there is no need, as he says, for
every one to know that, and, really, it
seems so much the counterpart Of the
other that not one in a hundred would
detect it. On this occasion he escorted
the young lady in question to a re-
freshment room. AS they were. taking
tea and coffee he looked unutterable
things at her, when all of a sudden she
gave vent to q startled exclamation.
Her eyes fixed on his with a 1nysteri-
GUS intentness and horror. A fly had
settled in the center Of his glass eye
and remained there, he, Of course, IN
conscious Of it's presence. The sight Of
that eye looking at her with a fly on it

An Envied Editor.

John Black, for many years editor of
the London Morning Chronicle, prided
himself on being a judge of men. His
pride was justified by the fact that he
secured the services of many very able
contributors. Mr.. Black was noted for
his independence and contented spirit,
both of which are illustrated by the
following story:
Mr.. Black was in the habit or calling
on Lord Melbourne, then at the head
of the government, who one day said
to him in his abrupt way: 'Mr. Black.
you are the only person who comes to
see me who forgets who l am. You
forget that am prime minister"
Black was stammering out an apol-
ogy when Lord Melbourne continued,
you never ask me for anything, and
wish you would"

Birthday Heroisn.

It is recorded of little boy that
he allowed his mothers birthday to
dawn without having anything to
give'her. This was to him terrible
state of things and seemed to call
for desperate remedy. He began
by offering her, one after another,
every toy he owned, but she was too
good natured to take them. At last,
after carefully considering the
whole matter, he said with a degree
of earnestness which showed how
much he felt the sacrifice he was
about to propose: Il know what I'll
do. I'll take a dose Of castor oil for
you" The resources of heroism,
so far as he was concerned, were
exhausted.

There Is q prominent official in Wash
ington, a frequent diner at the hotels,
who is most fastidious in his ideas
with respect to the service rendered by
walters. One afternoon this official,
feeling somewhat under the weather,
decided to omit his usual substantial
lunch and to substitute therefor some
light refreshment. AS he entered the
cafe Of a fashionable hotel, a new
waiter, with the grandest of manners,
FASTENED forward to take the hat and
coat of the official. He then assumed
the blandest of expressions and await

The waiter went away with disap-
pointment and contempt stamped upon
every feature Of his naughty counte-
nance. The official had not failed to
observe the disposition of the waiter;
so he decided not to give his usual
generous fee. The waiter, after con-
siderable delay, slowly returned with
the toast. As he laid it down, he also
placed the bill upon the table-a check
for 25 cents, the price of the modest
dish

Cans Hermann Fight Looms Up as Next Bout
HERMAN Is TRYING
NEW SYSTEM OF
TRAINING

ToNoPAH, Dec. Herman created
sensation here today by appearing
for work in tightly bound insane
asylum straitjacket. For nearly an
hour the Kid struggled over the floor,
but finally extricated himself. Herman
says he got the idea from seeing per-
formers work out of Jackets. He tried
the scheme in private and lost three
pounds before he got out, so he de-
cided to adopt the jacket for regular
training. Herman will work IN his
strange regalia twice a week from now
on.
With Lewis, he spent several hours
today in Schwab's Tonopah Extension
mine. He went through the workings
and was presented with a remarkably
nne specimen OF ruby silver, which he
will add to his collection.
The main floor of the arena Is COM
pleted and the side walls will go I'D
tomorrow. A force OF men is building
a special training quarters for Cans.
The champion is looked for Monday
night.
