the evidence and rendered their unal-
Iterable opinion. Mr. Richardson, too,
hastened to dictate statment IN which
he declared that his client had had an
absolutely fair and impartial trial and
that Idaho had indeed reason to be
proud of herself,
HaywOOd's First Thought of Mother.
Haywood's first thought was of his
aged mother, who yesterday suffered a
nervous breakdown after the Jury had
retired. Leaving the court room in
company with Attorney Nugent, Hay
wood walked to the Jail portion of the
building, shaking hands as he went
with the guards, employees and friends
He babe farewell to Mover. who when
he heard the verdict said That's good"
scribed to the jury as a sort of happy
Hooligan' and who called, "Give my re-
CARDS to Broadway" Then Haywood
went to st. Lukes hospital and rushed
into his mothers room. So great was
the tonic on his mother that tonight
she was up and about and happy. Next
Haywood went to the little cottage
where his wife and daughters have been
staying. He had parted with Attorney
Nugent at the hospital gate, and left
alone in Boise, had to inquire his way.
Once home Haywood said:
Il want to thank the people Of Boise
for their kindness to my wife, my
mother, my family and my friends"
There has been widespread sympathy
for Mrs. Carruther's, the defendants
mother. Senator Borah, for instance,
when first apprised of the verdict, said:
IT feel glad for Haywood's mother"
Inquiry among the jurors after their
dismissal revealed some of the elements
entering into their decision. Samuel D..
Gilman, the last man to be won over
to the defence. declared that a majority
of the pjurors seemed conviced that the
general tone Of the courts instructions
indicated that the defendant should be
freed.
Judges Instructions Settled All Doubt.
Finally Mclean, who voted consist
emily for acquittal from the first, de-
clared that the judges instructions
seemed to settle all doubt as to the
course he should take.
Juror James Robertson, good natur-
ed Scatchman, at whose house in Boise
Governor Steunenberg boarded tor
more than two years, said:
81 could not reconcile myself to vot-
ing any other way than with the de-
Tense from the very first, and I think
that under the law and the evidence
there was nothing else for us to do.
The last fellow who held out against
acquitaal belongs to the same fraternal
| organization that do. There was some
talk Of a compromise on a second de-
gree verdict but we would not stand
for that. 1t had to be acquittal or ]
would have stayed there forever"
Juror Samuel F. RUSSELL the senior
member OF the panel, said:
There was nothing against Haywood
but suspicion and inference, and when
we came to dovetail the evidence in the
jury room 1t did not seem somehow L
fit"
Samuel D. Gilman said:
Il cannot point out any particular in
struction that seemed to decide tht
boys on a verdice Of not guilty. / dc
not think there was any particular in
struction that they debated / believe
4 It was the instructions generally, They
could not seem to make head or tail K
| them, but were convinced that the gen
eral tone indivated that the defendant
should go free. Some of them seemed
to think the instructions were yer,
strong regarding corroborative testimo
ny and some said that they could mo-
be clear as to the reasonable doubt"
Disbelief Of Orchards Testimony.
There are many in Boise who are IN.
clined to the opinion that a controlling
influence with the, jury was their dis
belief of Orchards testimony. Hay
woods counsel heaped abuse on Orch
ard and told Of the general contemp
in which all classes held such a MAJ
as he. The attorneys played on thu
probability that Orchard had beer
promised immunity by some one con
nected with the prosecution and callet
attention to the fact that he had beer
treated with the greatest of considera
ion by the penitentiary authorities
since his confession was made to {
Pinkerton detective. Judge Wood II
his charge warned the jury to view
Orchards testimony with great caution
and as a test of the corroborating evil
dence suggested that the story told By
Orchard be laid aside and the remand
er Of the evidence viewed separately
1t was not necessary, however, he add
ed, that the eorroboraIting evidenc,
should prove every point.
Prejudice Against Orchard.
In the days Of jury selection weir
of prejudice against Orchard was UNI
covered unexpectedly when the tria
