At this point Mr.. barrow asked per-

for actual and implied bias aginst Hen.
~.
There was some discussion as to the
provisions OF the statutes in this re-
spect but Lovelace fanally was allowed
to testify. Lovelace said he had
talk with Henry about the case some
thing over month ago.
Did he say to you" asked Mr.. Oar
row. that Meyer. Haywood and Petit
bone must have been mixed up in
this murder or they would never have
bean brought to Idaho7"

impatiently.
Henry's place in the panel was ta-
ken by Mr.. Goodall. rancher: tooo-

but came to Idaho eleven years ago
from Kansas. Goodall declared ne

Senator Borah asked McGufin II he
had any prejudice against Harry Or

lection. He declared 1t was not right
| to inquire into the effect of the testi-
mony of any one witness that might
have on a Jurors mind. Mr.. Darrow
protested that the prosecution was
taking too wide latitude.
After the immense latitude that the

here to testify we might have some
