Opening Is Delayed.
The opening of court was delayed
until II o'clock in order to allow
Judge Fremont Wood to attend to
some important matters pending in
the district court and to give the
talesmen in attendance an opportunity
to return from their homes, where
many of them went over Sunday.
When Judge Wood took his seat on
the bench the defendant was in his
accustomed place, but not one of his
many attorneys actively participating
in the case was present. There was
a wait of several minutes before they
arrived. The inference was that the
attorneys had been engaged in a con-
ference of more or less Importance.
Judge Wood excused three tales
men because of illness and then the
states attorney took up the examina-
ton of Fred Eoff, retired cashier of
the Boise City National bank, who had
been called as possible juror at
No. 6. After challenging for various
causes, all of which were overruled,
the defense as last resort exercised
rid of Eoff.
o. V. Sebern, the first talesman
called to replace Eoff qualified as to
the twelfth juror. Sebern is 81 years
of age and a farmer. He was born
in Iowa, and then moved to Wyoming,
where he was engaged in stock rails
ing. Sebern has lived in this county
not less than two years. He said he
had no strong opinion in the matter
one way or the other. He entertained
neither prejudice nor bias. Asked if
he would care to be tried by man
holding his views, Sebern said: Il Ger.
tainly would. All 1 would ask would
be that the juror be square and
honest man."
AS soon as Sebern was passed into
the box Judge Wood said:
"Mr. Clerk, swear the jury
jury Is Sworn.
Senator Borah interrupted this pro-
cedure to ask permission to file
the names of several additional wit
nesses against Haywood. The de-
Tense objected, declaring the names
came too late. The Idaho statutes re-
quire, the attorneys stated, that the
names of all witnesses be Endorsed on
the Indictment against man. Judge
Wood declared the statute provided
only that the names of witnesses ex
amined before the grand jury were
required on an indictment. He moved
to adjourn. The jury then was sworn
all standing with right hands up
raised.
James H. Hawley, counsel for the
state, said his opening statement
would occupy little more than an hour
He asked that an adjournment be
taken until this morning. Judge WooG
finally ordered recess until three
p. NJ, when the indictment was reac
and the bailiff instructed. Adjourn
ment then was taken until to-day.
