Boise, Ida, Sept 25.-The task of
ampanelling a jury to try United
States Senator w. Z. Borah, charged
with timber land frauds, was resumed
during the day in the United States
district court.
Federal Judge Whitson, who came
from Spokane, Wash, to preside at
the trial at the request Of Judge Diet
rich of this jurisdiction, is allowing
rather wide latitude in the examina-

Senator Borah and who declare that
it would take exceptionally strong
evidence to destroy the regard in
which they have always held him.
The government is accepting only
those men who declare that the SEN
ator's exalted position would not de-
ter them in dealing equal and exact

United States District Attorney
