BOISE. IDAHO, June 16.-Steve Ad-
ans is the man of the moment the fig
ure that Is attracting the widest in
terest in the final effort of the State to
hang William ID. Haywood. Adams will
be ushered into the courtroom Tuesday
or Wednesday by the prosecution. What
he will do or not do will create one of
the most dramatic situations OF the
trial. The defense. which is in close
touch with him and his family, assert
that he will refuse to be sworn. and
there will be nothing to do but remand
him back to jail.
John Worm. the Wallace attorney.
who represents Adams. and who ac-
companied him here. confirms the sit
uation as seen by the defense The
special counsel for the State, Hawley
and Borah, declare that Adams may
refuse to take the oath, yet in the
same breath they expect TO get his
confession before the jury.
Under the law of the State. the con-
fessAn cannot be introduced IL he re-
fuses to be sworn. Should he be
sworn, and then refuse to testify, the
confession can be put In evidence.
The Adams confession is quite as
startling as that of Orchard. He
confirms the leading features of Or
chard's story, and gives details Of mur-
ders and murder plots in which he was
active principal, and In which Orchard
had no concern. His action Is Of i'm
portance to both sides.
Mrs. Adams has been closey asso-
ciated with the Haywood and Petit
hone families since she hnS been in
Boise. For q week Adams has had un-
restricted conversation with Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone In jail. If he
refuses to take the oath the State will
turn him over to Colorado. and he
will be taken to Tellruide, where it is
said there is a much stronger case Of
murder against him than in Wallace.

come to the surface on the ninth day
These of the midshipmen and remain
ing seamen have now been submerged
for six days and should come to the
surface by Wednesday or Thursday,
shohld they not be recovered by dredg-
