STATEMENTS OF COUNSEL.
~nIINGEj nARPNw daea.sn-

COUNSEL BARROW, defense-They
are drawn from small county al
most wholly agricultural and each
member for a year and a half past
has read but little about the case ex-
cept what has been contained in the
Boise daily papers. and this has uni
formiy been hostile to the defen-
dants. Nearly all OF them admitted
that they had formed opinions and
impressions from what they read and
necessarily these must have beer
against the defendant.
COUNSEL HAWLEY, state-we are
thoroughly satisfied with the jury
We have twelve fair minded mer
who will do even Justice between the
state and the defendant. They are
all good citizens of Ada county and
the state Of Idaho. They are men,
believe. without the slightest pretr.
dice. and we are willing to await
their verdict in confidence after the
evidence Is all In.
