Boise, Idaho, May 21.-The number
Of talesmen to fill the constantly oc-
curing vacancies In the jury that is
being formed to try William d. Hay
wood for the alleged murder of Frank
Steuenberger, continues to shrink and
1t now seems certain that another
special venire Of so or 100 talesmen
must be issued early this week. Some
official counsel were Of the opinion
Monday morning that it would be
necessary for the court to take an
adjournment to give time for the
summoning Of the new special venire.
There was a scant attendance Of
spectators when the trial was re-
sumed Monday morning, and the
court took up the work of filling the
vacancy created on Saturday by the
ninth peremptory challenge The
Haywood family was absent. A num-
Der Of witnesses including Bulkeley
Wells, of Colorado, were in the court
room. The prisoner sat close to his
counsel and frequently consulted with
them as to the talesmen under ex-
animation.
When Mondays court session opened
Clarence s. Darrow for the defense
continued the examination of W. c.
De Cloroq, a rancher, who was called
into seat No. in the jury box just
before court adjourned last Saturday.
After long examination Dee Cloroq
clared that his mind was pretty well
made up. He was excused.
Nearly half an hour was consumed
In the examination Of the next tales
man, George w. Masters, rancher,
who came to Idaho from Kansas. He
finally asserted that the opinion,
which at first he had stated was not
fixed one, would require strong evil
dence to remove. He said he had
read the socialistic papers which had
been put in his mail box for several
months past. Because of his opinion
Masters was challenged by both
sides and stepped down.
Frank Marcellus, a rancher, origin
ally from Illinois, was excused by
consent after he stated that he had
some prejudice against circumstantial
evidence and had expressed an I'M
qualified opinion.
George Powell, also rancher and
native of Kansas, finally proved ac-
ceptable to both sides and took up
his place as Juror No. Mr.. Powell
said he had neither opinion nor
prejudice in the matter. He is about
60 years of age with grizzled beard
The defense then was called upon to
exercise its fifth peremptory challenge.
It was directed against Joseph Chinn,
at No. s. Chinn is a hack driver and
a Democrat.
George Fletcher, president of To-
cal bank, was the first talesman called
to replace Chinn. He said he had
very strong opinion and was quickly
excused.
Frank Cess, a farmer and stock rails
er, declared an opinion as strong as
the preceding talesman and was also
allowed to go. w. I. Thrailkill, tele-
phone manager, had conscientious
scruples against capital punishment.
and Sumner Dee, merchant, had
expressed too strong an opinion.
The next man up for examination
was Forrest See, rancher and stock
grower. His opinion was fixed. He
stepped aside.
Crawford Moore, another banker
was quickly challenged for bias.
Lee Scrivener, farmer, was called
into the box as the luncheon adjourn
ment until p. M was ordered
