MOSCOW Idaho, May 16.-lt is
,o,,ors TO doughnuts that there will

-, ,nrv tampering during this ses-
~ ~ the federal court after the no.
,,ca served on the defense yesterday
.asrnoon by Assistant United States
n,strict Attorney Miles S. Johnson of
lewiston to the effect that secret
,ervice men are here-working under
.nd above cover--to see that no funny
business is done Attorney Johnson
taid:
1--WE have need to protect the jury.
We are going to protect the jury. And
anv one caught fooling with the jury
viii meet with the strong arm of the
law We have secret service men
here, and agents Of the department of
mstice Some are working under COW
a, and some are not. They have been
furnished the district attorneys Of
fec for the sole purpose of protecting
the jury"
Sentence Robnet and Dwyer.
And that was not all that Attorney
Johnson said in reply to the argu-
ments of counsel for the defense. He
added, and the words probably sent
tcld chill up and down the back of
more than one man in the court
room:
'T move at this time that the court
set Saturday for sentencing of Will
lam Dwyer and Clarence w. Robnet
convicted of subornation Of perjury"
When Attorney Johnson sat down
YOU could have heard pin drop In
any part Of the large courtroom. That
was move that the defense was not
looking for. And there are other
moves that may be made before the
term ends that will cause surprise
and few short breaths.
Want an Elisor Appointed.
And this all came about by the de-
tense filing motion asking that
Judge DIETRICH remove United States
Marshal R. Rounds and his deputies
ana appoint an elisor. The motion
was supported by several affidavits
and copy Of newspaper interview
purported to have been given by Mar
sAal Rounds to a reported on the
Boise Statesman. The two principa
pfidayits were signed by Will DwyeI
ana william r. KetteAbach. They al
legged that Marshal Rounds and hi
deputies and secret service men wer'
not to be trusted when II came to tn
handling Of 1uries: that the defend
ants could not get a square deal" a
long as the marshal had anything t
DO with the serving of jury subpoe
naes, handling Of juries, etc. Counse
for defense talked and argued at som
length.
Attorney johnson said he would nc
eignify the paper, which he tosse
contemptuously upon the table
front Of him, by replying at any gres
length Aside from saying what h
did about the government protectin
the jury, he devoted his time to cal
Ing the courts attention to the aDse
lutte falsehoods in the motion, +
also called the courts attention to II
fact. that viii Dwyer was then col
Victed "felon," as he called him. col
Ncted of subornation OF perjury, al
mat Mr.. Kettenbach had been indie
ca for the same offense. adding:
And it is the affidavit of such m'
as these that the defense would ha
the court take cognizance of and r
move a man as marshal against who
no breath Of suspicion has or could
Justly 1lade."
As a semi-climax. he said tn
President Roosevelt had removed frc
once the marshal of oregon and I
marshal OF Nebraska because tn
tsiled to Cooperate with the distr
attorneys office in the prosecution
government cases.
Bill Of Particulars Refused.
Just before adjournment, about 5
o'clock, Judge DIETRICH overruled
cemurrers to the Indictments filed

oNl of particulars. And then came
pleading Of the six defendants to
Boise Indictments. They were not

The trial jury has been excused

The arguments yesterday by the
