Jurors-County Attorney Asked to
Look Into the Affair.

Boise, Idaho, May 1.-THE sixth
day of the trial of Haywood com
menced at 10 o'clock this morning.
Judge Wood before the jury was
brought in drew attention to the in.
terviews with Orchard published in
the morning newspapers, which, he
said, was undoubtedly calculated to
influence the witnesses and the jury.
While this matter was under discus
sion the witnesses and jury retired.
Court Somewhat Surprised.
The judge said: While such pub
LEGATIONS appear to the court as not
precisely in contempt, they are never
theless calculated to influence the
jury in this cause. Something must
be done to prevent a recurrence of
this, If we are ever to get a jury. The
court is much surprised at this publ
cation at this time, n would be glad
to hear from counsel on the subject
Richardson Charges Collision.
Counsel for the state said he had
always been opposed to the publica-
ton of anything tending to prejudice
possible jurors. Attorneys for the de-
Tense exhonorated the counsel for the
prosecution from what had occurred,

County Attorney to Take Action.
Judge Wood sent for the county
prosecuting attorney and instructed
him to make an investigation of the
facts connected with the Orchard in
terview, and to take such action as he
found warranted.
Orchard Is Not Insane.
The interview given by Orchard
yesterday to the Associated Press has
proven the falsity of the statement
that he was insane, or that a comics.
sion had been forced from him.
Newspaper Men Invited.
During the evening the doors of the
~penitentiary were opened to newspa-
per men for the purpose of showing
these charges false. The appearance
OF the mar and the statements he
made completely exploded the charges.
