which the girl could reach the ground,
and kept her a prison in her lofty sta
tion until she promised to be his wife.
Moran, who owns the adjoining farm,
saw Molly enter the barn, and, knowing
that it was her custom to climb up in
the NOW to gather eggs, he made his
plans accordingly. The time was OPP
perfume, as the family had all driven to
church to attend services, and Molly
was cooking the dinner, when she dis
covered that few fresh eggs We're
necessary for THE custard she intended
for desert.
Molly did not know who had removed
the ladder, and she called Moran, whom
she heard going past whistling. He
later entered the barn and Immediately
began pleading his suit. Molly pleaded
with him to place the ladder. so that
she could get down, butt the young far

ing his love.
'If you have any love in you," said
Molly "let me down; the dinner will be.

and war;
Seeing that the case was hopeless
and that if she did not get down soon
the dinner would be burned, Molly

day having a touch of July warmth in
its rays. While the authorities of the
county and the state have laid care
full plans to meet and emergencies
which may arise they do not propose
to act until they have to. The streets
tonight are patrOlled only by the regu-
lar platoon of the city police force.
The people are occupied with their
business and social pleasures. and
there is nothing to indicate that the
trial, which has created such wide
spread interest throughout the world,
IS about to begin in this city.
A striking illustration of the I'M
ruffled atmosphere at Boise was this
afternoon. Mrs. Gooding, wife of Gov.
Cooling was hostess at a fashionable
reception and luncheon at Idanha
hotel. where she and the Chief Execu-
tive of the state are making their
home.
The proceedings in court today with
Haywood i'll attendance attracted less
than score of persons aside from
lawyers and newspaper men. There
IS little indication that the attendance
tomorrow will be much larger. al
though preparations have been made
to handle a large crowd.
The fact that many days must be spent
in getting jury may have something to
do with the lack OF interest manifested
at this stage of the proceedings. The
people as a whole are in the dark as to
the details Of the east the state has
against I'll" accused mon. The fact that
Harry Orchard, who says he placed the
bomb which destroyed cX-Ciov. Steuncn-
berg. is supposed to have made a confess
sion is about all shat the public is a.war..
Of. Neither the prosecution nor the de
fence has cared to make its plans COM
mon property.
Haywood and his fellow prisoners,
Meyer and Pettibone, who are in the
county Jail beneath the court house, were
out on the lawn this afternoon enjoying
the sunshine. They played at qu0its and
other games. Members of Haywood s
family called to see him and spent several
hours in the comfortable chairs arranged
for them in the shade on the big. velvety
grass plots surrounding the court house.
The prisoners express confidence at the
outlook and believe they will be acquitted
of any completely in the murder. They
are anxious to have their trials proceed
promptly and without interruption.
Tie defence created a decided surprise
tonight by announcing the retention Of
Edgard l.. Wilson Of Boise. as Il counsel.
Mir. Wilson is former law par,net of
Judge Fremont Wood who will preside
at the trials. Wilson served two terms
in Congress and is well known through
out the West as an able lawyer. He is
thoroughly cOnversant with the details of
practice in the local courts and Is re-
gardcd by both sides as adding strength
to the array of talent on the side of the
accused miners.
Other attorneys representing Haywood
tomorrow will be L. +. Richardson 81
