DARROW'S STATEMENT

Boise, Idaho, May Sit transpirea
that the statement issued by q. s.
OarroW, chief counsel for the men &c.
cused Of the murder Of Frank Steun
enberR, was written by him aud then
submitted TO them. There seems 10
have been many consultations about
II, one with his associate counsel.
These seem to have assentsd 20 II, but
II was some time before the prisoners
all agreed TO have Il go forth.
The story goes that Pettlbone stout.
Iy insisted II should not be issued,
holding Il would prejudice them In
the public mind, but he appears 10
have yielded the point. Meyer was
also somewhat reluctant 10 have the
statement issued. but was won over
and the publication followed.
Preparations for the trial are about
oomplete. Arrangements have been
made In the courtroom for great
number Of newspaper men and II IL
believed there will be room for all.
An interesting fact In connection
with these cases lie that the state will
have the same number of peremptoryI
challenges AZ the defense. Formerly
the defense had twice - many. but
an set was passed al the last session
making the change.

THREATENING LETTERS.
Letters that threaten every form of
violence are pouring into Boise from
all over the country by the hundreds
and most Of them are directed to
Governor Frank R. Gooding, who is
made largely to bear the brunt of all
that this celebrated case invites.
Detectives, police and friends of
the governor generally are constantly
on the alert to block the blow, and
at the instance Of family and friends
he has finally and under protest al.
tered the routine and movements Of
his life and work at least to a point
offering the least exposure compati-
BILE with the performance Of his duty.
Governor Gooding may be in no dan
ger from any source, but he and his
friends live every hour in the chill
atmosphere of danger and to them
the tragedy is ever real.
Another man similarly marked in
the belief Of many men, is Harry Or
chard, alleged to be the assassin hir-
ed by the three prisoners, whose al.
legged confession is the basis of the
state case.
Perfectly reasonable men here look
at the high witness chair in the coun.
ty courthouse, shake their heads SER
iously and tell one that Harry Or
chard will die in 1t. They say, too,
that IL he were turned out of the pri-
son tomorrow his body would be
found within a week.
Harry Orchard may live to die on
the gallows for his confessed part in
the murder of Steunenberg, but such
is not the belief Of all the men in this
community. This same apprehension
offers q difficulty from the standpoint
of the prosecution in securing a jury.
This has been a man killing coun-
try and under the shadow Of strong
suspicion that there may be avenginR
murders by cranks and others, it may
prove difficult to secure IL men will
ing to run the suspected risk, even in
this country of courageous selfreliant
men, assuming that the state estab.
lished its case.
READY FOR TRIAL.
Counsel for the prosecution and
defense in the SteunenberR murder
case have settled down to their final
preparatory work and there is every
reason to believe that the trial of
William Haywood, first of the acous
ed. will be commenced on Tuesday
next. Various reports as to moves
tending to further delay the trial are
in circulation, but the attitude Of
both sides indicates that they are
ready to 60 to the bar for trail.

NERVOUS FEELING
AT BOISE CITY
Governor Gooding Is Receiving
Threatening Letters

Boise, Idaho, May S.-This city,
which the leaders Of the Western
liberation of Miners have beer
rought to answer TO the capita
barge that they comprised the muir,
ar Of a former governor In revenge
or his activity in suppressing dis.
rders in the Occur d'Alenes, seems
grow in exterior plaCidity as the
ate Of the opening Of the first trial
lossly approaches. The officials Of
be state and county and city, coun.
i chosen to present the case Of the
ate, men who lead In life and work
the community have reached q
oint where they decline to publicly
isCuss the case or the men ct the
ar. The streets, stores and hotels
resent no scenes foreign to the rou-
ne of the days work. 1t would seem
at majority Of the community had
sumed a judicial attitude toward
celebrated case and had disci-
ined itself in the face of 1t. The
scasional man, free from alignment
craftsmanship, who will discus the
SO openly, generally tells one that
Dise knows neither about uiionists
pr mineowners, knows only that q
uel murder, one Of a long series Of
Oh shocking crimes, has been done,
at its business is to calmly and
irly try the men who are accused,
free them If they are innocent, to
ng them If thsy are proved guilty ;
d to do this fearlessly.
FEAR OF VIOLENCE.
But under the surface OF calm there
a strong underCurrent of apprehen-
n and nervousness, tragic in many
its aspects. Violence is the ever
sent fear. The position of the
soners and their activity through
lrs of bitter labor warfare, the dis
sion over their arrest in Colorado
] removal to Idaho, their allying Of
pusands Of workingmen to their
port and the radical propaganda
dretaking in their behalf. together
b the intense feeling against the
neowners' association and other in
ents, have served, rightly or
pngly, to make the case, in the
nds and attitudes of thousands, a
test between the Glasses rather
a trial for the alleged crime Of
rider.
n few minds is there belief that
ywood, Meyer and Pettibone. their
pnds or the men affiliated with
N in labor union circles, would
rove, much less encourage, any
Of violence al this time, because
b act, it is believed, would be a
i error. But there is fear that
the ranks Of the violent radicals
e may come q man or men des-
Ito enough to attempt assaSsInation
