ANOTHER VENIRE
NECESSARY FOR THE
HAYWOOD TRIAL
Most Of the TaIeSmen DiSquaIify
on the Grounds Of Bias or
Previously Formed
Opinions

BOISE, Idaho. May 24.-The second
special venire of talesmen in the Steu.
nenberg murder case is proving bar
rem of men qualified to act as jurors
and unless the form shown by the first
half of them is completely reversed
in the second half, there must be an
other special venire summoned The
hrst half of this yenire has yielded on
ly one man who actually qualified and
only one more man who may qualify:
the rest went down in a succession of
1Ned opinions or bias of various rorms.
only &c of this venire remain to be ex-
amined and on the assumption that all
peremptory challenges will be used
seven more jurors must be found
In the procession of the disqualified
that passed through Judge Woods
court today came the first man since
the trial began who unqualifedly
stands by President Roosevelt and his
utterances as to Messrs. Meyer, Hay
wood and Pettibone. He is W. b. Teet-
er. a farmer and long ago a member of
The knights of Labor. He came to the
stand late In the afternoon and the
states examination barely qualified
him because he had a certain amount
of prejudice against labor unions or
any kind of combinations designed to
fix prices. was unfriendIy to the West
ern Federation of Miners and against
socialism. He made a distinction be-
tween the federation and members of
the federation and between socialism
and socialists, however, and finally the
state passed him.
At several points in the examination
nv fhn loft
that Teeters answers would give
cause for challenge. but he crossed all
the thin ice down to the question of
the letters of President Roosevelt In
answer to a question from Il. f.. Rich
ardson he said that he endorsed the
letter of President Roosevelt in which
the prisoner was characterized as an
undesirable citizen" Mr.. Richardson
snapped in question about the czar
of Russia approving the attitude of
President Roosevelt, but the State eX-
cluded it with an objection. Mr.. Rich
ardson then asked the talesman direct
ly If he thought the prisoner had been
guilty of melting riot and was an un-
desirable citizen and got an affirmative
answer
The court sustained the challenge of
the defense and Mr.. Teeter walked the
plank of bias.
Early in the morning Talesman Hen
ry Curtis qualified for the vacant seat
of Juror Orric Cole and the defense eX-
amined and finally passed Juror John
Whitlock. That opened the way for
peremptories again. The state chal-
lenged Juror Isaac Bedell of seat 2, and
there the proceedings halted all day.
Nineteen talesmen occupied the chair
during the day and the only person
who may occupy it is Finley Mclean,
the last man to reach it late this after
noon. He satisfied the state that he is
qualified to act and just as adjourn
ment passed to the hands of the de-
fense. He is a Scotchman by birth
and seems to be open minded on the
guilt or innocence of William Hay
wood.
Counsel for the state today indicated
n desire to limit the breadth of the de-
fense' examination. bu tthe court kept
To its early purpose to allow all posi-
BILE latitude and overruled all objec-
