JURY IN THE HAYWOOD TRIAL
WILL BE CHARGED 5Y JUDGE SAT.
URDAY MORNING.
Mrs. steunenberg Appears In Court
For the First Time, Accompanied
BY Her Son.

Boise, Ida, July 26.-The case OF the
state OF Idaho against William ID. Hay.
wood, charged with the murder of
Frank Steunenberg, a former governor
Of the state, will rest with Judge and
jury Friday night
Clarence Darrow, after speaking for
IL hours, concluded the final plea for
Haywood's life at 4.20 D. M, and az
Z o'clock Thursday evening United
States Senator Borah opened the clos.
ing argument for the prosecution. He
will speak for three sessions, or about
seven hours.
Judge Fremont Wood will instruct
and charge the fury on Saturday morn
ing.
At least 1000 persons were unable
to find seats in the courtroom.
Two hours before the hour set for
the third session OF the day crowds
began to arrive, and within half an
hour the doors we're closed TO all but
court officials and newspaper men.
1t was an audience composed almost
entirely OF Boise people gathered to
hear the speech OF the young man,
who. recently elected by the people o.
Idaho to represent them In the United
States senate, has been the assistant
counsel for the prosecution In the case
against Haywood.
Aside from the unaccustomed crowd
In the courtroom and the large number
OF women present, the scene was much
as II has been at each Of the sessions
during the last II weeks.
Mrs. Steunenberg, the widow OF the
murdered governor, appeared in the
courtroom for the FIRST time since the
trial opened.
She occupied a seat inside the rail-
ing beside her youngest son, Julian.
Gov. Gooding. with number Of the
executive stan and large representa-
tion of the state Judiciary and bar,
were among the audience.
Haywood was surrounded by his coun.
sci and his wife, In her invalid chair,
was as usual by his side.
At the prosecutions table when Sen
tor Borah rose to speak were seated
two associate counsel, but James ii.
Hawley, leading counsel for the state,
was not In his place, owing to serious
illness.
Senator Borah's speech was sensa-
tion. From time to time he turned on
counsel for the defense. fierce denun
citation pouring from his lips. and al
times he brought protests from Rich
ardson and Darrow, but with blazing
eyes and hot words he silenced every
effort to break the rush of words.
The climax was reached when, in be
half of the state OF Idaho, its people
its governor and himself, he disclaimed
all intention on desire to give immunity
to Orchard.
Finally, his face pale and voice quiv
ering with emotion, the senator raised
his arm and said
II should ever Join In or give ap
proval to immunity to this man ! hope
the great God may wither my right
arm in It's socket"

RIPPER AT LARGE
IN BERLIN, AND HE PICKS LITTLE
GIRLS FOR VICTIMS.
LURES CHILDREN FROM HOME
Then Stabsi Them With a sharp In
strument-One OF the Three Tots
Assaulted is Dead.

Berlin, July 27.--A series of cold.
blooded crimes, singularly resembling
the Jack the Ripper" murders, but for
the fact that instead OF women the
victims were little girls, followed one
another with remarkable celebrity al
most In the center of the city, and
aroused Indignation and excitement.
Within a short space Of time the
assassin successfully enticed three girl
babies, the Oldest years of age, into
doorways OF houses and stabbed them
several times In the abdomen with a
sharp instrument. As result one Of
the children Is dead, another dying and
the third is dangerously wounded.
The first knowledge that the crimes
had been committed came when an
occupant OF the house at the corner OF
RykI and Belford streets found the
body of Margaritha Prawitz, aged 4,
lying in the doorway, bathed In blood,
the bowls rrotruding and the lower
part of the body horribly. gashed. This
was Immediately reported to the police,
who were about to investigate the case,
when reports came that Hartha Len
case, aged 8, and Ely Knispel. 8 years
old have been found similarly out.

Rumors soon spread throughout the
vicinity which magnified the number OF
victims and the inhabitants OF the
neighborhood became intensely excited.
Mothers sought their children In the
streets and made them return indoors
In fear that they might meet a similar
fate. Crowds gathered about the police
station shouting vengeance against the
murderer.
In the meantime the two victims
who still lived were transported to a
hospital. Their condition Is extremely
precarious. They are not expected to
survive the night.
The officials acted quickly In an
endeavor to locate the murderer and
published an offer Of reward OF
$1,000 for his capture.
Shortly after the crimes were COM

head sketched on 1t was found on a

The note was attached to the seat
by means Of sharp single scissors

crimes were committed with the other
half Of the instrument.
Experts who have examined the
note found on the seat have come to
the conclusion that II was written by
a madman.
