Nugent Of Boise. The absentees from
the defendants table included Edgar
Wilson, the former law partner OF
Judge Wood, who presided at thf

socialistic writers and the so-called
Labor jury who have been attend

Verdict Surprise in Boise.
The news OF the verdict was re-
ceived reluctantly in Boise. Extra edi-
tions of the papers carried the tidings
far and wide aud during the day
there was cOnsidera Bile discussion in
clubs. cafes, hotel lobbies and upon
the street corners. The surprise which
had been 50 manifest in the court
room was prevalent everywhere. The
long time the jury was out had con-
Veyed the general impression that
there could be no other outcome than
a disagreement The rumors which
spread so rapidly and frequently
throughout the night and which were
as unreliable as such rumOrs always
are. We're to the effect that a major
ity of tho jurors had voted for convic-
tion. Some were even so radical as
to say that the only difference Of opin-
Ions existing in the jury was as to the
degree a 10 n all fF
disagreement spread even 10 members
Of the defendants counsel, and when
to this feeling We're added the rumors
or an adverse decision which contin-
ually beat about the ears during the
light there could be found none to
doubt the genuinqness of their joy a.
