said he would like to clear the cale1,-
dar as far as possible before going into
an extended trial. October first was
then set as a date agreeable to all
parties.
Bond for Meyer is to be given in a
unique way, suggested by Attorney
Breen Of Butte, Mont, who has been
associated with the defense. The
Butte local of the Western Federation
of Miners is the richest in the organ
ization and Mr.. Breen said that it car
ries deposit of from 100000 to $14O,-
900 constantly in the bank. Arrange.
ments were made by wire today by
Mr.. Breen to have the Butte union
wire $25,OO0 to the First National bank
of Boise. Some officer of the Boise
bank will sign the bail bond as surety
A telegram to Mr.. Breen tonight said
the arrangements at Butte had been
completed.
We were offered personal bond in
several times the amount desired here
in Boise said Mr.. Breen tonight, sbut
we preferred not to impose upon any
of opr friends to that extent when the
Buttt union has such a large surplus
and was anxious for the honor Of
showing its allegiance and confidence
in the president of the federation
Discussion of the verdict in the Hay
wood case was widespread today, the
concensus of opinion being that the
jury had done it's duty as it saw il
and should not be criticised. Editoria
comment of the local papers is to this
effect, the daily Statesman saying:
'The Statesman, in common will
the great majority of people, regrets
that the trial of VIM. D. Haywood fo7
the murder of former Governor Stuen
enberg resulted as it did. It came al
a great surprise, as it had not beer
supposed such a connection would ,bs
taken, even the defense, according tt
the best information obtainable, hop
ing for nothing better than a huns
jury.
"But the case has been decided b,
an Idaho jury under the facts as the,
found them and the law as laid dowi
by the court, and it is the duty of all
as in all cases fairly and fully submit
ted to our constituted tribunal of jus
tice, to accept the result in that spiri
of loyalty to our courts which is
necessary attitude of mind on the par
OF the citizens OF the republic, if ou
rights are to be protected and peac
and order and good will are to reign
The Evening Capital-News says:
4 There was bound to be keen dis
appointment whatever the verdict ma
have been. But the jury which trie
the case was one whose honesty, il
4 tegrity, ability and good citizenship n
one doubted and now that they hav
expressed themselves it will com

those whose minds were made up t
the contrary verdict to complain G
their decision as 1t would for thos
who are now pleased to have dt
/ nounced the verdict had it been tn
J other way.
There is but one thing to do, an
that is to let the Haywood case di
from the public mind as quietly as po
I sible. In the minds Of some it wi
: linger as a dream-a terrible nigh
