BOISE, Idaho, June 3.-Twelve men to
try William D. Haywood for his life on
the charge that he murdered Governor
Frank Steunenberg have been chosen and
bound by oath to honestly deal the laws
Justice between state and prisoner. Hay
wood has heard the indictment charging
him with the crime. and tomorrow after
the state has recited its case and made
promise of proof the first chapter of the
| sickening tale of the Caldwell crime will
be retold.
The wearisome work of jury selection
ended quickly and unexpectedly this
morning. Alfred Eoff. the first talesman
examined was declared qualified after
strong and repeated protest from the
defense. Eoff said that he had an opin-
ion, that he would carry his opinion into
the trial that he could not presume the
defendant innocent and that he would not
like to be tried himself by man who
had an opinion. but despite these ,condi..
tions of his mind he thought that If
sworn as a juror he could fairly try the
case according to law and evidence.
Four challenges for cause against him
failed, but the minute he was passed
the QeIeHSe ehpSlueu lto lchlh anu last
challenge to get rid of him.
o. V. Sebern, the next talesman called,
proved the last one needed. When a resi-
member er of the Tom Horn jury and T. the
defense went into the question quite
thoroughly, but in the end the talesman
qualified in manner satisfactory to both
sides.
Haywood seemed whitened some by. his
illness of Saturday, but as the clerk

spread about his cheeks. He looked

to the jury box. His wife and daughters

session at which the"lndlctmen1 mt was read o1.
