The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1907-07-29
Idaho had, indeed, reason to |
proud of herself.

Haywood first thought was of his
aged mother, who on yesterday had
suffered a complete nervous break
down after the jury mad retired.
Leaving the court room in company
with Attorney Nugent, he walked
down to the Jail portion of the build
ing, shaking hands as he went with
guards, employees and friends who
had arrived on the scene. He bade
farewell to Meyer, who, when he
heard the verdict, said: That's
good" and never stopped shaving,
and to Pettibone, whom Darrow de-
scribed to the jury as "a sort of Hap
py Hooligan," and who called "Give
my regards to Broadway Then
Haywood walked to St. Luke's hos
pital and unannounced, rushed into
his mothers room. So great was the
tonic upon the elderly lady that to-
night she was up and about and
happy. Next Haywood went to the
little cottage where his wife and
daughters have been stopping. He
had parted with Attorney Nugent at
the hospital gate and, left alone in
Boise, got all but lost, and had to in
quire his way from passers-by.
Once home, Haywood said: Il
want to thank the people of Boise for
their kindness to my wife, my moth
er and my friends.
There has been widespread SYM
pathy for Mrs. Carruthres, the pris-
oner's mother. Senator Borah, for
instance, when first apprised of the
verdict, said: II feel glad for Hay
woods mother"
Statement of Jurors.
Inquiry among the jurors after
their dismissal revealed some OF the
elements entering into their decision.
Samuel d. Gilman, the last man to
be won over to the defense, declared
that majority of the men seemed
convinced that the general tone OF
the courts instructions indicated
that the defendant should be free
Finally Mclean, who voted consist
emily for acquittal from the first, de-
clared that the judges instructions
seemed to settle all doubt as to the
course he should take.
Juror James Robertson, the good
natured Scotchman, at whose home
here in Boise Governor Steunenbere
boarded for more than two years
said: "I could not reconcile myself
to voting any other way than with
the defense from the very first, and
think that under the law and the evi'
dence there was nothing else for us
to do. The last fellow who held out
against acquittal belongs to the same
fraternal organization that | do
There was some talk of compro
mise on a second degree verdict, but
we would not stand for that-it
either had to be acquittal or | would
have stayed there forever"
Nothing But Suspicion.
Juror Samuel F. Russell, the sen
ior member of the panel, said
"There was nothing against Hay
wood but suspicion and Inference
and when we came to delve over the
evidence in the jury room 1T did mo-
seem, somehow, to fit"
| Samuel D. Gilman, juror No. 3
said: II can not point out any par
ticular instruction that seemed to de
eide the boys on verdict OF no
guilty. | do not think there was any
particular instruction that they de
bated over. I believe. 1t was the in
structions, generally. They coul(
not seem to make head or tail o
them, but were convinced that thu
general tone indicated that the de
fendant should be freed. Some o
them seemed to think the instruc
tions were very strong regarding
