Boise, Idaho, May 10.-Sheriff Pod
gin started out today to summon {
ordered yesterday by Judge Wood o
the district court when the regular
term panel was exhausted in the eff
fort to secure a jury to try VIM. D
Haywood. The trial adjourned lat'
yesterday afternoon until two o'clocl
next Monday afternoon, when it is
expected tnat the new panel will be
in attendance. Counsel on both sides
were confident that the jury will be
secured by Thursday or Friday o.
the taking of testimony may be be
gun before the week ends.
The laws of Idaho require thai
twelve talesmen shall be in the box
at all times during the selection OF
the trial panel, and it Was this pro
vision of the statutes which caused
the halt yesterday after three men
had been passed without challenge
from either side, although there were
eight others in the box awaiting
cross-examination by the attorneys
for the defense. Seat No. was va
cant, and until a juror qualities fol-
that position the examination of otn
ers cannot proceed. All connected
with the case were somewhat sur
prised yesterday at the absence OF
eagerness to avoid jury service. But
a small percentage of the twelty-one
men examined had expressed or
formed an opinion sufficient to dis
qualify them, and others declared
that they believed they could render
IA fair and impartial verdict from the
evidence adduced aid allowed by the
court. 1t is evident that there is a
desire mere on the part of both sides
to vie with one another in expression
of a feeling of good will and senti'
ment of absolute fair play.
1t was said by men active in the
managemeat of the affairs of the Fed.
GRAFTON here today that the rank and
file of the Federation were convinced
there was to be no secret hearing or
"r-ailroading'' of the accused men TO
the scaffold, aid that there WAS now
a disposition to let the matter be
thoroughly tnreshed out in the courts
Everything possible, however, is be
ing done legitimately to aid the i'm
prisoned men il their fight for free
dom. The prisoners seem to have eV-
cry confidence as. to their future, aid
believe their counsel will be able to
Iclear them.
A staggering array of witnesses is
promised by both sides in the Hay
wood case, and If all whose names
are announced be called the duration
of the trial cannot even be approx
mated. The state has filed a supple
mental list bringing its number oil
witnesses up to 165 il all. The de
fense, it is announced, will call per
haps fifty witnesses in all, making
215 to be heard, according to present
plans. 1t is considered doubtful, how,
ever, that any such number will be
placed upon the stand.
The Federation officials were inter
ested today to discover the names oil
several former officials and members
of their organization Included in the
list of prospective witnesses for tae
state. One of them is Edward Boyce
formerly president OF the Western
Federation. Boyce is now a mine
owner and lives IN Colorado
