NOT EX-CONVICT, SAYS MOVER

Boise Idaho, May 10.-Notwithstandin an outward appearance of apathy and lack of interest in the case there has ex- isted for some time in Boise an extreme ly tense condition. Reports as to what ed or during it's progress, have tended to create a very decided feeling of un- easiness. The presence in the city of q number, oI private detectives, employed by both sides. and the outspoken attacks by the radical element of the social element necessarily brought out many reports, and purporting to come from authentic sources of probable trouble, trouble such as an attack on the jail, or an attempt to spirit away some of the chief wit nesses for the state. The proceedings in the courtroom yesterday did much to dis sipate this. There was a spirit of give and take. A joke from one or another of the counsel or a laugh caused by the answer of a talesman acted as safety valves and when the day was over the strain was relieved and every one breathed easier.
 MT. Richardson, one of Haywood S leading counsel. said today:
 We expect the sheriff will select his veniremen with fairness and with care so as to enable us to secure an impartial jury. If the right class of men is se- lected we will not take a long time to se- cure a jury
 Many Witnesses Will Not Attend.
 While the number of witnesses to be called on both sides looks formidable, there is good reason to believe that very large number of those witnesses will not be in attendance. A considerable propor- tion of the witnesses for the prosecution live in Colorado or in other neighboring states. This is also true of the defense. as the home of the prisoners is in Colo rado, and it is not possible to bring them to Idaho against thar will.
 Lawyers of Boise, who are not connect ed in any way with the case, but who know as much as anybody what both sides expect to do, say that after the jury is secured the trial of the case ought to be over in two weeks.
 Judge Fremont Wood expects to waste no time and another adjournment is not looked for after Monday. The court will sit from 10 a. m., to noon and from D. m., to p. m., and some times until o V clOck, WllH one long session on Sat urdays
 Several members of the Western Fed eration of Miners, who are in Boise, watching the progress of the suit do not join the belief existing in some quar- terS that Orchard will refuse to testify They believe that he will make his state ment upon the stand. On all sides there is a question as to how far Orchard will be allowed to go in his statement, which 1t Is alleged, duplicates Haywood Mover and Pettibone.
 Movers Denial.
 A statement printed by the Chicago Journal charging that one Charles year in the Joliet penitentiary, was printed here this afternoon and created much excitement. That c. H. Mover, the prisoner now in jail here charged with the murder of former Governor Stuenen- berg, is one and the same man, is de- nied by the prisoner and his counsel Mover, when seen today on the subject, said he was working in the mines in the Black Hills country of South Dakota at the time which Is given, as between February 4, 1886 and January 4 1887 He states that it would be easy to verify this by the records of the Castle Creek Gold Mining company at Rockford. s. D., where he says he was working at the time.
 Mover also said that the postmaster at Rockford will be able to testify as to his receiving mail at the time and that the officials of the county and state will verify his denial of the story that he was an inmate of the Joliet penitentiary at that time.
