he We'd with the other members of counsel
and with the prisoner himself In thanking
them with every evidences OF sincerity
the IL citizens of Idaho who heard the evil
dence and rendered their unalterable opin-
ion. Mr.. Richardson, too, FASTENED to die
tate a statement in which he declared that
his client had an absolutely fair and i'm
partial trial and Idaho indeed had reason
to be proud of herself.
HAYWOOD RUSHED TO MOTHER.
IIaywood's first thought was Of his
mother, Mrs. Eta Carruthers, who suf-
fcrcd a nervous breakdown yesterday
after the jury retired. Leaving the
court room with Attorney Nugent. Hay
wood walked to the Jail portion of the
building. shaking hands as he went
with guards, employees and friends lie
hado farewell to Meyer, who when he
heard the verdict, said: "That's good"
and to Pcttibone. whom barrow les
cribed to the jury as sort Of Happy
Hooligan'" and who called, Give my
regards to Broadway" Then he walk
ed st. Tmko's hospital and rushed into
his mothers room. So potent was this
tonic that tonight she was up and
about and happy. Next, Haywood went
to the little cottage whore his wife
and daughters have been staying He
had parted with Attorney Nugent at
the hospital gate; and. loft alone In
Boise. had to inquire his way. once
home. Haywood said:
Il want to thank the people Of Boise
for their kindness to my wife, my
mother. my family and my friends"
There has been widespread sym
pathy for Mrs. Carruthcrs. Senator
Bcrah. when first appriscd of the YER
dict, said:
81 feel glad for Haywood's mother"
HOW THE JURYMEN FELT.
Inquiry among the jurors after their
dismissal revealed some of the elc-
mcnts which entered into their decis-
! ion. Samuel u. Gilman. the last man
to he won over to the defense, declared
that n majority of the jurors seemed
convinced that the general tone of tn"
courts instructions indicated that the
defendant should be freed
| Finley Mclean who voted consist
only for acquittal from tho first de-
clared that the Judges instructions
seemed to settle all doubt as to the
course he should take.
James Robertson. the good natured
scotchman at whose house In Boise
Governor Steunenbcrg boarded for
more than two years, said:
81 could not reconcile myself to vot-
ing any other way than with the de-
Tense from the very first and | think
that under the law and the evidence
there was nothing else for us to do
The last fellow who held out against
acouittal belongs to the same fraternal
organization that I do. There was
some talk of compromise on second
degree verdict. but we would not stand
for that. 1t had to be acquittal. or
would have stayed there forever
NOTHING But SUSPICION.
Samuel r. Russell, the senior member
of the panel said;
"There was nothing against Haywood
but suspicion and inference and when
we came to dovetail the evidence in the
Jury room it did not seem somehow to
ht"
Samuel D. Gilman said:
II cannot point out any particular 10
struction that seemed to decide the boys
on a verdict OF not guilty. I do not think
there was any particular instruction tina I
they debated. / believe 1t was the in
structions generally. They could not seem
to make head or tail of them. but were
convinced that the general tone indicated
that the defendant should be freed. Some
OF them seemed to think the instructions
, were very strong regarding corroborative
testimony, and some said that they could
not be clear ms to the easonable doubt"
DISCREDITED ORCHARD.
There are many in Boise who incline t.
the opinion that controlling influence
with the jury was their disbelief Of Or
chards testimony Haywoods counso
heaped abuse on Orchard and dilated OF
the general contempt in which all classc
held such man as he.
The attorneys played on the probahillt
, that Orchard had been promised mmunit
by some one connected with the prosecu
ton. and Judge Wood in his charge warn
!, ed the jury to regard Orchards testimon
with great caution.
