Many Talesman Offer
Objections to Serv=

Boise, May 27.-It is probable that
court will adjourn some time today
and that a special venire will be sum
moned. 1t is doubtful If this venire
can be brought together in time for
the session of the court on Wednes-

however, challenged and Joplin was
excused. c. j. Northrop, a prominent
business man of Boise. was excused
after a few questions that showed
prejudice. Bingham, farmer of
Boise was disposed of for the same
reason. w. S. Bruce, bank cashier
of Boise, was the fifth talesman called.
When asked If he knew OF any reason
why he should not serve Bruce said:
81 would not under any circumstances
convict a man where the penalty is
death, on circumstantial evidence" On
further examination he said he could
not take the oath as juror, holding
these views. He was challenged by
the state and excused.
Boise. Idaho, May 27.-That the trial
of Haywood will really begin this
week looked dubious this morning.
The effort to get jury goes on with
little success. A new venire may have
to be called tomorrow In which event
there must be an adjournment and
then Decoration day coming on start
is diot probable until Monday next.
the second special venire is exhausted
and no jury secured to try Haywood
Court adjourned to Friday morning
and Sheriff Shad Hodgin has three
days to summon siXty-one more tales
men. One of the twelve examined
ance Darrow, and will probably be ex-
cused by peremptory challenge when
the jury box is full again. The juror
is Harmon Cox, a retired farmer and
former carpenter, who is also vet
eran. Darrow tried for more than
an hour to disqualify him, and during
the cross-examination lawyers. judges,
and spectators all lost their patience
and Darrow actually got angry under
the prodding and tantalizing objections
and comments made by Borah and
Hawley. After the eleven men in the
box were excused from court coun-
sci for the defense protested against
the manner in which the two venires
had been drawn and pointed out that
farmers, merchants and bankers were
summoned and that workingmen,
neither union nor non-union are not in

TIGER KILLS A LEOPARD
IN A TERRIFIC COMBAT

Chicago, May 2s.--Pasha. spotted
African leopard, died at an animal
hospital yesterday from wounds re-
ceived in a battle with Duchess, q
royal Bengal tiger. The encounter
which was bloody and terrific, occur
red in the cage occupied by Duchess
in the Mundy animal show at White
City. The electrical storm which was
raging made fitting accompaniment
Tor the combat.
The leopard, which was trained to
walk tight rope, ride bicycle and
roll huge ball under him, had finish
ed his performance in the arena. His
nal cages and opened the iron barred
gate of one which he believed to be
Pashas. There was a sudden leap
from corner of the darkened inclo-
sure, terrific snarl, and Duchess,
whose den had been invaded, was upon
the intruder. The roars OF the ami
mails, as they rolled over the floor of
the cage, tearing and clawing. sounded
above the thunder and all but caused
a panic among the sight-seers.
Pasha was no match for the huge
Bengal. He was down in a moment,
the heavy tiger ripping him with her
claws and gashing his throat and
sides with her fangs. The leopard's
teeth sank once into the tigers throat.
but the bigger beast soon shook him
off and Pashas struggles grew more
and more feeble, until at last he was
stretched almost lifeless.
The trainer, with scarcely time to
thrust the door closed. and leap back
TO safety before the battle began, was
powerless to separate the infuriated
beasts with prodding forks and hot
irons, until Pasha's skin had been torn
almost TO ribbons. All possible was
done to save his life in the animal
hospital established at the show, but
without avail. Duchess suffered little
from the encounter.
A few days ago trained raccoon
at the show was killed by lion.
Before that one of the horses kicked
a lion so severely that the king OF
heasts has been helpless ever since.
In addition three bears in the show
have died within the week. The col
lection remaining consists Of fifty
lions, leopards, tigers. jaguars and
bears.

 NEW YORK, April 5-Harry Thaw was declared sane after a four hour consultation between the lunacy com mission appointed to test his present mental condition and Justice Fitzger- aid, who named the commission. The justice announced that the board had found the defendant capable of con sulting with counsel and that the trial of Thaw for the alleged murder of Stanford White would be resumed.
 Thaw's entire family was in court when the commissions decision was announced, and every member of the party expressed delight at its character. The district attorney and his staff did not attempt to conceal their dsappoint- ment. Thaw himself was jubilant.
 Justice Fitzgerald excused the jury until Monday. declining to grant more time for District Attorney Jerome to apply to the appellate division for writ of prohibition.
 All the testimony was in when the lunaey commission was appointed. The case will be resumed at the point where 1t was halted. Delmas and Jerome will sum up, the judge will make his charge 10 the jury, and then the twelve men will retire to settle Thaw's fate.
 The moment the decision was handed down by Justice Fitzgerald District Attorney Jerome was on his feet vigor- ously protesting against its confirma- ton by the court. He charged that he had been excluded from the last ses- sion of the commission and demanded to be allowed to have access to the minutes and stenographic notes of what transpired at the final mental and physical examination of the defendant.
 When Justice Fitzgerald declined to turn the minutes over to the district attorney Mir Jerome declared he would carry the case to the supreme court.
 When the announcement was made to the millionaire slayer of Stanford White who had waited in an anterOom, he exclaimed:
 "Thank God. Now I will be fsee.' A. Russell Peabody of his counsel, who conveyed the news to Thaw, saw him stagger and caught the prisoner in his arms. else he would have fallen. He helped the unnerved man to a chair, where Thaw buried his face in his shaking hands and sobbed convulsive- ly. .......
