BOISE. Ida, June 2.-The work OF
securing a jury in the case of William
D. Haywood, charged with the murder
Of former Gov. Steunenberg. will be
resumed tomorrow morning at IL
o clock, unless the prisoner has re-
lapse. Today Haywood is himself
again. Although little drawn AMI
pale as a result of the medicine and
the opiates administered to relieve MIN
from the acute pain which he suffered
yesterday morning, he appeared to be in
his normal condition. He was out early
IN front of the courthouse and walked
in the sun. sfterward sitting with mem
bers of his family among the pleasant
surroundings of weu-kept lawns and
rose bushes fragrant with blossoms
Judge Fremont Wood has stated that
he is determined a jury shall be secured
tomorrow if possible Forty-four tales
men remain of the venire of sixty.one
peremptory challenge can be exercised,
and this lies with the defense, the
prosecution having exhausted It's ten
peremptory challenges on Friday, This
leaves two men to qualify, if the de-
fense should see fit to exercise its last
challenge, That they will do so is ad~
mitted by counsel, but it is not expect
cd that there will be much difficulty in
qualifying the two men out of the
talesmen yet to be examined. Should
this not be done within the regular
hours, it is quite probable that Judge
Wood will hold night session,
With q jury secured before court ad~
A
State Will he opened by James n. Haw-
ley, leading counsel. on Tuesday morn
ing, This, the first gun in the real
engagement, Will he a lengthy recital OF
the position taken by the State of Ida
ho IN the effort to prove that Haywood,
together with Meyer. Pethbone. Simp-
kins and Orchard, was responsible for
the death of Frank Steunenberg on the
! night of December 80, 1905.
Will Outline Case.
This opening address to the jury will
be the first official outlining of the case
the prosecution hopes TO prove. Ever
since the arrest of the tIree men, Hay-
wood, Moyer and Pettibone, speculation
has been rife and innumerabe state
ments, more or less we'll founded in
fact have been published 1t is, how
ever, true that, except in the most gen
eral way, no authoritative statement
hiS b'eu gwen hNt. IL Is HOW nearly
sixteen months since Harry Orchard,
who by his own confession ii is al
legged, is the assassin of former Gov.
Steunenbcrg, made sworn Statements
lmpllcnting what is called the ,'inncr
circle of the Western Federation Of
Miners In the plot to murder Stcuuen-
herg and i'll series Of crimes extend
ing over many years of the history of
labor and mining troubles in Idaho.
Within few days after Orchard made
tins statement. Meyer, tho president Of
the Western Federation of Miners;
Haywood, the secretary and treasurer
of the organization, and Pettbone,
member. were arrested in Denver on
extradition warrants and brought -
this Stnte on a special train under cir
cumstances which have aroused much
discussion since the arrest, and which
have been carried to the highest court
in the country in order that the rights
of the prisoners might be preserved
fntmation of what Orchard has
stated In his confession has come from
one source and another from time TO
time in the last year. but ii may be
stated positively that very little is
known of the contents OF the coufcs-
sion which will figure, it is stated, as
the most sensational! feature of tho case
against Haywood. the first of the pris-
oncrs charged with the murder TO be
placed upon trial.
Testimony of Orchard.
1t is believed that the State has in
reserve much to corroboratc Orchard 3
testimony. Orchard viii be Il witness
but counsel for the State do not pro.
pose 20 rely upon his evidence. Every
point bearing on Haywood s connection
with the actual murder of SSteunenberg
must. the prosecution openly state, be
corroborated before they can hope to
prove their case. In the work of Sc
curing this corroboration the Pinkerton
detective agency has figured largely 1t
may be said that the best men of their
force have been engaged on it for the
last twelve months. Captain Jim -
Mcfarland famous as the principal 6g-
urc IN many detective stories of real
life within the last twenty years, now
in charge of the Western division of
the Piukerton agency. has directed the
work. He now makes the statement
that he believes he has complete
case. On the other hand. the defense
of Haywood has been as busilv at work
as the prosecution, Other scores OF
detectives have followed every cIew and
every intimation Of what the Pinkcr-
ton agency was doing. \ large amount
Of money. estimated to be as much az

propaganda in behalf of the prisoners,

been widespread and active and much
sympathy has been aroused, The best
legal counsel has been secured in their
