BASEBALL GOSSIP.

The Cooleycrows boarded an early
Rock Island train this morning and
at that place for two days. The team
was feeling good this morning and
felt sure that they would be able to
take at least one game from the Kan
sas City bunch. McInnis and Slater
were left in Topeka along with Catcher
Kelsey. Both pitchers have sore arms
and it was thought to be better for
them to stay with Kelsey and work
the soreness out of their arms so as to
be able to work in the St. Paul series.
All the other members of the squad
were taken along.
In Pitcher Bert Jones, Cooley seems
to have found a valuable man. In the
game yesterday Jones' pitching was
the subject of favorable comment on

BOTH SIDES
ARE GAMBLING
On the Ultimate Views of
a. Haywood Juryman
He is Opposed To the Death
Penalty Save for Anar-
chists.

Boise, May 25.-The unusual specta-
Gle of accepting a juror opposed 10
capital punishment except as an ex-
treme measure for the protection of
society against war and anarchy and
pleading his own disqualification, came
today in the Steunenberg murder trial
and his retention after he had clearly
showed that he was disqualified and
of the proceedings.
J. l. Toutellotte, an architect of
Boise. is the juror and his retention
seemed to be clearly due TO the willing
ness of both sides to gamble on his
views when the jury reaches the su-
preme solution case. the state on the
hope that il can meet his ideas as Ia
anarchy. the defense on his opposition
to the death penalty.
Mr.. Toutellotte came with the rest
OF the talesmen. Early in the day his
direct examination by Senator Borah
developed in a mild form his scruples
against the infliction of the death pen
atty in ordinary murder cases. His
acceptance by the state was a surprise
that within a few minutes was inten-
sified by the views brought forth by
questions propounded by Clarence Oar
row OF the defense.
Toutelotte swore that he was oppOs-
ed to capital punishment except in time
of war and when society must defend
itself against organizations seeking to
destroy 1t. He declared that society
had no right to take from a man any
thing il could not give. but anarchists
If they were abe kind OF men he
thought they were. he would hang
them on sight. The defense seemed
under the impression that Borah was
not in earnest and probably on that
theory passed him too.
Counsel for the state said privately
after adjournment that the incident
could not constitute an error in the
case and that there existed no means
whereby either side could in the future
plead it. 1t is thought probable that
when il comes time to swear the jury
Toutellotte will refuse to take the oath
and compel the court 10 excuse him
from serving.
Both sides found a pay streak OF
qualification In the section of special
venire and beside Toutellotte two 9TH
er talesmen qualified. They are Fin
ley Mclean and Z. F. Crow. a retired
farmer. who now lends a little money
for a living. Crow was almost inn
mediately challenged by the defense.
The defense also challenged John
Whitlock and the state callenged Geo
Mcintyre. The vacancy created by the
sixteenth challenge is still untitled
Four challenges are unexpended and
twelve talesmen of the second special
venire are unexamined. Unless there
is good luck with the little squad of
unused talesmen there will have to be
another adjournment some time on
Monday for j third venire
