and talked about Harry Orchard. This
was the first time Orchards name had
been brought into the case.

He told me what kind OF man he
was. in a general sort of way
Did he say anything as TO Orchards
reputation for veracity?'
No, sir
or as TO his being religious MANI"
Was this talk after you had been sum-
well. the deputy had not exactly served
the summons, but knew what he was
there for
Roosevelt Once More.
Did you read what Mr. Roosevelt said
about this case?'
Yes. some of it."
Did 1t influence you in any way2"
Then you would not care what the
president said?'
ut would not affect my verdict
Would it affect your opinion or judg-
ment?"
Would you care to be in the defend
ants place with such man as your
self?''
Il wouldn't like to be in that position
under any circumstance" Then. after
pause. the talesman added: But it might
be worse -
Yes. or. it might be better" remarked
Pride said he knew of nothing in his
mind to prevent his serving ON the jury
But | would rather not" he added.
Dor unions?'
Il think unions are all right in some
respects, but in others they are not all
right"
Have you any prejudices against la
Not particularly
The defense passed the talesman with
out challenge for cause and reserved the
right to question later the deputy who
served the jury summons upon Pride and
who talked to him about the case.
Mr.. Darrow next took up the examina-
ton of George Walker. the butcher, who
was passed into seat No 6 last Thursday.
Walker said at that time that he had an
opinion and challenge was interposed
by the state. The defense resisted at the
time. but today after a few questions by
Mr.. Darrow. the defense Joined in the re-
quest for Walkers discharge. 1t was or
dered by Judge Wood.
Had Formed an Opinion.
Raymond Jones. a farmer was called
into the box. Jones said he came to Idaho
from Iowa He formerly worked in a
saw mill.
he had an opinion. but il was not a strong
one and could be changed by the evidence.
Have you an opinion at this time as
to the guilt or innocence of the accusedy'
Yes, sir. "
But you could disregard it in the light
of the evidence?
Yes
Jones said he had neither received nor
read any of the socialist papers which
had been freely distributed in and around
Boise during the past few months.
Jones had been under examination near
~ half an hour before Mr.. Hawley finally
asked him If he had any conscientious
scruples against capital punishment
Il have" said the talesman.
How long have You entertained that
idea o. asked Judge Wood.
Il was raised that way"
Excused" said the judge, who suggest
ed that in future It would be well TO ask
the talesmen about their scruples earlier
in the examinations.
Opinion Not Fixed.
c. II. Frank. farmer, who said he was
hard of hearing" was called to the va
cant chair and with hand held back of
his right ear listened to the questions put
by Mr.. Hawley. He said he had an opin-
ion. but it was not fixed.
Frank was challenged by Mr.. Darrow on
the ground of physical disability, but the
attorneys for the state resisted ana Judge
Wood denied the challenge. Mr.. barrow
then drew from the taleSfnan the aOfnlS-
sion that it would require strong evidence
to remove the opinion he had already
formed. a challenge for cause was con-
scented to by the state and Frank was ex-
cused.
Burt IllingswortF was called just as the
luncheon adjournment until 2 p. m. was
ordered.
