ner in which the court should dea,
with the incident brought from the de
Tense the charge that Gov. GOoding

gestion that Gov. GOoding be cited for

them. The court drew attention to
the utterances of Gov. Gooding in con-
nection with the statement that Or
chard is not to have immunity for his
confession.
State Has Ten Challenges.
The other important development
Of the day was the raising of a ques
ton as to the right of the state to en-
JOY ten peremptory challenges. The
state formerly had but five, but at the
last session of the legislature, which
was subsequent to the assassination
Of Gov. Steunenberg, the law was
amended, increasing the number to
ten-the same as allowed the defense.
The question arose as to whether this
amendment constituted an eX post
tacto law. After argument the court
ruled that the law was not ex post
facto and that the state had the right
to ten challenges. In arguing he mat.
ter Mr.. Richardson said that the
weight of authority was with the con-
tention of the state, but he said that
his side intended to make the most OF
he point in the higher cou% if circum-
stances warranted it and made the cir
cumstanceS that the legislature OF
Idaho had amended the law because OF
the cases of Haywood, Meyer and Pet
tlbone. Both Mr.. Hawley and Senator
Borah resented this statement, and the
Judge said that the court would not
Tor moment assume that the motives
OF the legislature had been improper
The fifth temporary challenge, rep
resenting a total of three by the de-
tense and two by the state, was made
late in the afternoon, and at adjourn
ment an effort to fill the place made
vacant was in progress. United there
are fifteen more challenges to be ex-
hausted, and Of the special venire OF
lOO talesmen only "a remain.
There will be a short session Satur-
day and the case will then go over
until Monday.
