BOISE, Ida, May 14-"My papa" Il
was low, sweot-voiced voice OF
child that broke in the court proceed
ings and although barely audible more
than dozen feet away it spoke vol
umes TO those who chanced to hear 1t.
William ID. Haywood, on trial for his
life, sat In a crowded courtroom. his
youngest daughter Henrietta, years
old, had been sitting for nearly an hour
caressing the man whom. after many
months, she is now permitted TO visit
for liimted timo daily.
She is a sweet liltle thing, just az
an interesting age, with perfect foa-
lures and wealth of auburn hair.
Her father is her ideal, and during
the weary yiss-examinatlon OF jury
men she never leaves his side
She had been sitting nesting closely
TO him for long time. when a jorring
note I'm Attorney Richardson's voice
seemed TO strike her ear. Richardson
had asked the politics Of a talesman
and the latter had declared he was a
Republican.
'Do YOU know that President Roose-
welt has called the defendant, Hay
wood, an undesirable citizen2" inter-
rogatod the lawyer.
The import of the question was plain
TO the little child.
Before the talesman could answer
she was on her knees ON her chair. her
rleft arm around her fathers neck, and
she stroked his face anectionately with
her right hand as the juryman de-
clared that the Presidents opinion
would not sway his judgment
Then with the words my papa
she sank into place on that fathers
knee
Selecting the Jurymon
The prospects are good for tho selac-
tion OF az least four jurors before court
finally adjourns to-day.
Attorney Richardson rs determined "a
secure an unbiased jury, and his quos-
tioning at times seem to border closely
, on the insulting. This becomes more
and more evident as he grills the We
lnremen suspected OF being rahid par
usans OF Governor Gooding. who Is IN,
real head and front OF the prosecution.

snarls Richardson as he focuses his at
