Boise, Ida, June 2.-The work of Sc
curing a jury in the case of William
d. Haywood. charged with the murder
of former Governor Steunenberg, VIII
be resumed tomorrow morning at II
O'Clock, unless the prisoner has re-
lapse. Today Haywood is himself
again. Although a little drawn and
pale as q result OF the medicine and
the opiates administered to relieve MIN
from the acute pain which he Suf-
fered yesterday morning, he appeared
to be in his normal condition He
was out early in front of the court
house and walked in the sun, after
wards sitting with members if his fam
lily among the pleasant surroundings Of
welI-kept lawns and rose bushes fra
grant with blossom.
Judge Wood Determined.
Judge Fremont Wood has stated that
he 10 determined q jury shall be Sc
cured tomorrow if possible. Forty-four
talesmen remain of the venire Of sixty
one summoned last week. Only one
more peremptory challenge can be eX-
ercised and this lies with the defense,
the prosecution having exhausted its
ten peremptOry challenges on Friday.
This leaves two men to qualify, if the
defense should see fit TO exercise it's
last challenge. That they viii do so
is admitted by counsel. but it is not
expected that there Will be much diff
ficulty In qualifying the two men out
of the taIesmen yet to be examined.
Should this not be done within the reg
ular hours it is quite probable that
Judge Wood will hold a night session.
HawIey's Address Tuesday.
With a jury secured before court
adjourns tomorrow night, the case for
the state viii be opened by James H.
HawIey. leading counsel. on Tuesday
morning. This. the first gun in the
real enga cement. will be q lengthy re-
cital of the position taken by the state
of Idaho in the effort TO prove that
Haywood, together with Meyer, Petit
rome, Simpkins and Orchard, were re-
sponsible for the death of Frank Steun-
enberg on the night Of December so,
1905.
This opening address TO the jury will
he the first official outlining of the
case the prosecution hope to prove.
Ever since the arrest of the three men.
Haywood, Meyer and Pettbone, specu-
latIon has been rife and innumerable
statements, more or less well founded
in fact, have been published. 1t is,
however, true that except in the most
general way no authoritative statement
has been given out.
Murdered Sixteen Months Ago.
1t is now nearly sixteen months since
Harry Orchard who. by his own con-
fession. it is alleged, is the assassin
Of former Governor Steunenberg, made
sworn statement duplicating what is
called the inner circle" of the West
ern Federation of Miners in the plot
to murder Steunenberg and in a series
of crimes extending over many years
of the history of labor and mining trou-
bles in Idaho. Within a few DAYS after
/Orchard made this statement, Meyer,
the president of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners; Haywood, the secretary
and treasurer of the organization. and
Pettibone. a member, were arrested in
Denver on extraditiOn warrants and
a brought to this state on a special train
4 under circumstances that nave aroused
much discussion since the arrest and
which have been carried to the highest
court in the country in order that the
rights Of the prisoners might be pre-
served.
Intimation of what Orchard has
stated in his confession has come from
one source and another and from time
TO time in the last year, but it may be
stated positively that very little is
known of the contents of the confess
sion which will figure, it is stated, as
the most sensational feature of the
case against Haywood. the first of the
prisoners charged with the murder TO
be placed upon trial.
Expectations of Prosecution.
It is believed that the state has in re-
serve much to corrOborate Orchard S
testimony. Orchard will be a witness,
but counsel for the state do not pro-
pose to rely upon his evidence. Every
point bearing on HayWoCds connec-
ton with the actual murder of Steun-
enberg must. the prosecution openly
state, be corroborated before they can
hope to prove their case. In the work
Of securing this confederation the Pink
erton Detective agency has figured
largely. 1t may be said that the best
men Of their force have been engaged
on it for the last twelve months. Cap
