Bisbee daily review., 1907-05-10

ceeding with the examination of | Talesman Mcintyre at the afternoon session, counsel for both state and de- fense agreed to excuse W. 4. Simp- l son, who occupied seat No. ', on ac- count of illness in his family. McIn- | tyre was born in Canada, but has been q citizen of the United States for many years. He declared he never
 made any expression as to the guilt or innocence of the defendant. He had no fixed opinion, no prejudice or | bias in the matter whatsoever. Nc | Intyre said he knew of no reason why he should not render a fair and i'm partial verdict. If sworn as a juror | he said he could render judgment ac- cording to law and evidence. McIn- | tyre seemed to pass an entirely satis- factory examination. but he was pass: ed for the time being by the defense.
 Senator Borah uext took up the ex- animation of W. N. Rudge, faEmer. who has resided in the county for Itwenty-seven years. Rsidge declared
 he had neither formed nor expressed
 | a definite opinion. The examination
 of this talesman was brief and ap-
 parently satisfactory to the state. Sylvester Gaunt, a coal, wood and
 i feed dealer, the ninth man in the jury
 box, quickly said he had formed an
 opinion which would require the
 strongest evidence to remove. Both
 sides joined in challenge for cause
 and Gaunt stepped down.
 Orric Cole, a mining man, was the
 tenth talesman examined. He said
 he had been in iIl-health of late. but
 knew no other reason why ne should
 not serve as fair and impartial juror. ',-r Senator Borah quickly passed along to W. W. Bisby. fire insurance agent and real estate dealer, who has lived in the community five years. Bisby , said he was free of all prejudice or bias, and had never been a me,nbeI of any labor union.
 Samuel Wingate, an employe of the irrigation company, said he had ar rived at no opinion whatever. kl Samuel F. Russell. a farmer, had formed no fixed opinion, had no preju dice or feeling against the accused. Rl William Van Orsdale. called to re place one excused talesman origin t ally in the box, paid very little atten ! tion to newspaper accounts of the 1 tragedy. Van Orsdale's examination seemed satisfactory to the prosecution I and it passed on to Albert Beck, whc s said he had formed no opinion, ana e was not prejudiced either for oi ] against the prisoner.
 Frank Foster, brick manufacturer was excused on challenge by th' state. .i'..
 Paul A. Cowgirl, a life insurance ! ino T. 1 had fixed opinion.
 William H. Cathcart said he haG conscientious scruples against capita punishment and was excused. J. l.. Waggoner, a panesman, who 1 1t has been charged, was approached by a man named Yost some time agt l and interrogated as to the feeling or the matter of the accused miners, Wal examined. ~Yost was arrested anC held under bond last week, Waggone A appearing against him. Under ex animation by Hawley, Waggoner sai' today he had no feeling against thu prisoner and knew of no reason wh. s he should not serve. With the com pletion of --Waggoner's examination the prosecution canvassed all twely, men in the jury box and passed then without challenge for cause. The at ! torneys for the defense then took ul s the examination. Richardson began with Ewing. He asked the propose l juryman as to the extent of his ac ouaiptance with the attorneys for tn i state. He declared he never had an. business relation. with them. Do you belong to any lodge?" ask ed Richardson ! "Only the Grand Army" respond ed Ewing.

 Baptist" -.-.
 Are any attorney for the stat i brothers Of yours in the church." "No sir"
 There was general Laughter in tn RI courtroom and this made Richardson remark that if the lawyers belonget < 10 any church they certainly were no BaDtists.
 What party do you belong to-" Eve been Republican most al ] ways" said Ewing.
 What paper do you read?" The juror gave the name Of loca afternoon daily.
 ! What other papers do you read? persisted the lawyer. -e---.- "The Ladies' Home Journal" sai ! Ewing. as laughter filled the room 1 Judge Wood finally rapped for order ] Richardson examined the fslesm ! carefully as to his views on the labo ki question. Among other things he sai that though he was living here dun 1 ing the time of the troubles in Idah l from 1892 to 1899. he had formed n ! opision against union labor. agains .he Western Federation of Miners a \ an organization or against the dt 1 fendant as an officer of the Fedora ton. Ewing -said he was not a men ] Der of any organization opposed [ union labor. and he believed he coul give the accused fair and impartia 1 hearing whether he be Baptist Methodist.
