Boise, Idaho. the Center.

All eyes are now turned toward
Boise, where the most worldwide
murder trial will begin next Thurs
day, that of William Haywood
charged with completely in the
murder of Ex- Governor Steunen-
berg of that state. Two of the
greatest lawyers in the country
have been engaged by the defence
and the state is represented by the
abIest attorneys on the Western
Slope, one being United States
senator
Fifteen hundred law books from
the offices of +. +. Richardson
of Denver and Clarence barrow of
Chicago have reached Boise and
have been placed in the office of
John +. Nugent, the headquarters
of the defence.
The town is already fast filling
up with detectives, witnesses, cor
respondents and friends of union
labor, 100000 has been appro-
priated by the state of Idaho on
behalf of the prosecution, some
thing never before heard of in the
prosecution of a murder trial. The
governor of Idaho has decided that
the accused will never leave the
state alive and the governor of
Colorado has lent his moral sup
port to the prosecution by declar-
ing, through the associated press,
that he aud majority of the citi-
zens of Colorado believe the &C
cused are guilty.
The manner by which the men
charged with the crime were ex-
trsdited has raised the suspicion
of union labor that fair trial Was
not to be expected and large
fund has been raised for their de
fence.
1t is estimated the trial will con
sumo two months As the matter
has been before the public for
more than year and has been dis
cussed until nearly every intelli,
gent man in Idaho has formed AN
opinion rs to the guilt or innocsuse
of the accused il will b. difficult
to impanel jury.
