WASHINGTON, May 2S.--Informa.

No reply has been received from Gil

Jury From President venire.

BOISE, May 25.-The unusual spec
tacle Of accepting juror opposed to
capital punishment except as en- ex-
treme measure for the protection Of so
ciety against war and anarchy and plead
ing his own disqualification, came today
in the Steunenberg case. His retention
after he had clearly shown he was dis
qualified, raises d question as to the
regularity Of the proceedings. ]. =.
TourtellOtte, an architect Of Boise, Is
the juror and his retention seemed
clearly due to the willingness Of both
sides to gamble on his views when the
jury reaches the supreme solution Of
the case, the state on the hope that it
can meet his ideas as to anarchy and
the defense on his opposition to the
death penalty. Tourtellotte came with
the rest Of the talesmen early in the
day and his direct examination BY
Borah developed in d mild form his
scruples against the inaiction Of the
death penalty in an ordinary murder
case. His acceptance BIZ state was
surprise that was within q few minutes
intensified BY the views brought forth
BY the questions propounded BY Clar-
ence Darrow Of the defense. Tourtellotte
swore that he was opposed to capital
punishment except in time Of war and
when society must defend itself
against organizations seeking to destroy
u, He declared that society had no
right to take from man anything IL
could not give, but as for anarchists,
Il they were the kind of men he thought
they were, he would hang them on sight.
The defense seemed under the impress
sion that Borah was not in earnest, and
on that theory passed him,
TOO.
When the jury fled in after lunch,
Tourtellotte stood in his place and
the attention Of the court
said he was disqualified TO serve in the
Ease. He again asserted that he was
opposed to capital punishment and
pointed out that It would be impcs-
sible to take the oath necessary at the

EFFORTS TO CLEAR HIM
James F. Goddard Still In jail but no
Preliminary Hearing Ar
ranged.

The only statement for publication
that has yet been made by James F.
Goddard, was that published in the
Sentinel yesterday and he has made
no further public statement today.
Friends of the arrested man are
endeavoring to secure his release and
whether these efforts will succeed
It is hard to tell.
This morning the Sentinel repre-
sentative asked Deputy District At
tirney Fry If he had set a date for a
preliminary hearing or arralgnment
and he declared that he had not and
that it was up to the defendant to
say when he wanted to come into
court. Goddard evidently prefers to
postpone a preliminary hearing, for
the time being, for certain reasons.
The grounds upon which Mrs. God
dard is asking for a divorce are cruel
tv and infidelity. No correspondent
is named in the papers. She prays
for absolute divorce and alimony. As
stated yesterday the papers were filed
some days ago. The Senunel's state
ment yesterday that IL was Mrs. God
dard who informed the officers of
the presence of the stolen watches in
the Goddard home. is fully confirmed.
A good many friends have called
upon Mr.. Goddard at the county jail
today.
The Sentinel was in possession of
that fact that a charge involving the
theft of a valuable bracelet from
room in the Boyer boarding house,
in which house he had been doing
plastering, had been preferred
against Goddard but withheld the re-
port for plausible reasons, however
the report was given publication by
weekly paper last night. What
grounds there are for making this
charge are not known.
The case has been widely discuss
ed on all sides anr many opinions and
theories advanced.
Goddard's finances seemed to be In
a fair way and he was making excel
lent wages at all times, consequently
it is hard to determine, II he is gull
ty, what induced him to commit the

rARDy HoNoRs TO POE

The movement to erect a monu-
ment to Edgar Allen Poe in Balti-
more, and to provide a mausoleum
for the remains of the poet, should In
some slight measure atone for the act
of cruelty, or dense ignorance. that
barred Poe from the hall of fame.
The judges who refused to admit
the South's great literary artist to
the hall of fame. while making place
for many men of less genius. have Of
fered no excuse for their action. Per-
haps they realize there is none to be
offered. II they barred Poe through
ignorance of his standing in the world
of letters, quite naturally they will
not make known the fact of their
own lack of wisdom. II they barred
the poet through prejudice againat
his personality, they have even bet
ter reasons for keeping quiet. But
their action has created astonishment
In the many lands where Poe's genius
has penetrated, and has robbed his
rightful place In the temple, II will
be merely hall of mediocrity.
It is astounding that Poe's one
weakness -drink-has been such n
stumbling block to his recognition.
He was not vicious, and did not harm
others when in drink. He was cou-
rageOuS IN udyS Oh poNeItys anu uiu
Titanic work against tremendous
odds. But his high courage counts
for nothing as against one weakness
that has beset tens of thousands of
other men. Your Scotchman finds
quick excuse for the same frailty in
his beloved Bobby Burns. but the
American has not been so charitable
in the case of Poe. But fortunately
false impression, like downright
lie. cannot be long-lived. Poe's art
is taking its rightful place and the
personality of the man is regarded
more and more in its grander aspect.
Soon the mantle of charity will cover
the baser part, and there Will be no
more of the Peckscnifiian attitude
among his highly moral circles.
In the meantime there is a grow
ing army of Poe admirers in Amer
lea that will rejoice to see suitable
mausoleum enclosing the remains OF
the country's most subtle literary
artist. The pilgrimages that will be
made to his tomb will more than
atone for the honors that the hall
of fame judges so shamefully with
