person the wolf of want would be
bowling around their kitchen doors
next winter. Some claimed they
were too old-some that they were
too fat and some that they had con-
scientious scruples against capital
J punishment.
The upshot of the matter was that
| "a of the newly summoned jurors
were allowed to return to the bosom
of their families.
At this juncture, e. F. Richardson,
of the counsel for the defense, re-
quested the Court to enter the name
of Edgar Wilson as one Of the at
torneys for Haywood. The entry OF
| Mr.. Wilson into the case at this
time created considerable comment
and speculation by many who are
watching the progress of the case.
Mr.. Wilson having been the law
| partner of Judge Wood for more
than twenty years. 1t was urged by
some that the defense had secured
the services of Mr.. Wilson with the
expectation that Judge Wood would
be more inclined to favor the de-
Tense in rulings upon the reception
of evidence where its admissibility
was doubtful.
Those who have known Judge
Wood longest and best, scout the idea
that Wilson's presence in the case
will have any adverse effect upon
the interest of the prosecution.
Judge Woods personal and profess
sional integrity is above reproach
and IL the surmises as to why the de-
Tense has employed Edgar Wilson
are correct 1t is tcineh" that they

| 1t Is really amusing to note the
evident disappointment among the
| special correspondents who are rep
resenting the metropolitan press of
the east, because of the orderly way
in which the trial has proceed
ed. The wild and woody stories
which have been circulated by the So
| cialist and yellow press were accept
ed as true by many people in the east
| and those who are here from that
section expect to see the streets full
of soldiers, policemen, sheriffs and
citizens carrying bowie knives, forty
fives and gatling guns. Instead of
this condition of affairs Boise has
simply the every day busy aspect,
| without single surface indication
that there is now in progress within
| her gates, what promises to be the
most celebrated and important crim-
nal trial in the judici;. Ii
the world.
The selection of a jury in the Hay
wood case is progressing rapidly and
it is expected by the attorneys that
by Saturday of this week the jury
will be completed and sworn to try
| the cause.
1t will probably be on Monday next
that the opening statement for the
prosecution will be made and the in
PRODUCTION of the evidence commence
| ed.
1t is likely that the first evidence
offered will be to show the death of
Governor Steunenberg, by what
means and circumstances occurring
in and about Caldwell
In just what order the other evil
dence will be introduced nothing can
be learned at this time. There has
been q large number of witnesses
subpoenaed by the prosecution,
probably one hundred and fifty. more
than one-half of these live in other
states.
Harry Orchard will be the central
figure on the part of the prosecution
and the purpose of the state will be
to produce the evidence to corrobor-
ate the man who was admittedly the
active principal in the preparation OF
the crime.
