lives eight miles out Of Boise. said that
when Deputy Sheriff Roberts served his
summons on him, he stopped at his
house and took dinner, and they talked
a little about Harry Orchard
It appeared that Roberts had been once

wood was confined. and he told Mr.. Pride
something about the prisoner. Mr Pride
said he got some Impressions from Rob

Not Well Posted.
Mr Henry developed a surprising lack /
Of information regarding certain salient /
features Of the case. When Mr. Darrow
got at him and inquired if he knew which /
one of the three labor leaders charged |
with the murder was on trial at the pres /
ent time, he scratched his pate a while /
and then replied: We'll. no. 1 dunno's I |
jest do" He did not know what the /
Western Federation Of Miners was either. /
Do You know whether it's a religious F..
or an industrial organization?" asked the /
lawyer.
Well. know it amt exactly religious" /
replied Mr.. Henry with the first exhibition /
of promptitude that he had yet made
A roar Of laugi ter greeted this. and /
even Mr.. Darrow smiled.
Witness declared. however that he knew
what a reasonable doubt was. whereas /
one Of the lawyers engaged in the case 4
observed that was more than most law /

that's enough" He was sure he didn't

they wouldn't have brought EN- here"
Mr.. Henry admitted. after a silent strug-
gle with his intellect that he did not
know what prepOndeTance meant: as for
presumption, he did once know what that
meant. He believed a Presbyterian min

about it. They passed him for the pres
