try William D. Haywood TOT ms ire on the charge that he murdered Gov ernor Frank Stuenenberg. have been chosen and bound by oath to honestly deal justice between State and prison CT. Haywood has heard the indict- ment charging him with the crime read. and tomorrow. after the state has recited its case and made promise of proof. the first chapter of the sick ening tale of the Caldwell crime will he retold.
 The wearisome work of jury selec- fion ended quickly and unexpectedly this morning. Alfred Eoff. the first talesman examined. was declared qual- tfAd after strong and repeated pro- tests from the defense. Eoff said he had an opinion: that he would carry his opinion into the trial; that he could not presume the derendant innocent. and that he would not like to be tried himself by a man who had any opinion, but despite these conditions of his mind, he thought that If sworn as juror, he could fairly try the case &C., cording to the law and evidence.
 Four challenges for cause against him failed, but the minute he passed, the defense expended its tenth and last challenge to get rid of him.
 Last Juryman Obtained.
 q. V. Seburn. the next talesman called, proved the last one needed. and he qualified in a manner satisfactory to both sides. The defense had con- templated making a request for per mission to reopen the examination of certain jurors. but this plan was aban- doned. and when Judge Wood ordered the jury sworn. no objection came from either side.
 The court room came to silence as the twelve men rose in their places. and, facing the clerks desk on the left. raisd their right hands in solemi observation of their pledge to do exact justice by the accused. It was an im- pressive scene and there came another two hours later. when, after the mid day recess, Haywood listened to the reading of the indictment against him. self, Mover Pettihone and Simpkins.
 As the clerk walked In front of the jury box and began reading the fndict- ment, little tide of blood came up along Haywoods neck and spread over his cheek. He looked away from the scene directly in front of him for few moments. and then, more self possessed. returned his gaze to the jury box. His wife and daughters sat at his sida during the brief afternoon ses- sion at which the indictment was read. Haywood talked with them and his counsel. after the statement was read. and then as he rose to return to his cell, smiled greeting to a friend sit- ting near the end of the bench.
 state Opens Case Today.
 Tomorrow at 10 o'clock. James F Hawley, for the State. will address the court with the States opening statement. He has prepared 1t in manu- script and today said that he would be very brief.
 Briefly speaking, the State will charge that Haywood, conspiring with Mover, Pettibone and Simpkins. and others of the alleged Inner circle" of the Western Federation of Miners. plotted a campaign of terrorizing that had for Its double purpose the remov- al by assassination of those opposed to the organization. and the retention of control and power within the organ ization. It will allege that the ex- plosion of the Vindicator Mine and the blowing up of the Independence de- pot, the murder of Light Gregory, a detective of Denver. the murder of Arthur Collins. of Telluride. the al leged blowing up of Fred Bradley. of San Francisco, and the alleged at~ tempts on the lives of former Governor Peabody, and Judges Galibert and God dard of Colorado, were all acts In single great conspiracy to which the murder of Gov. Steuenenberg was in- cidental.
 It will be charged that Haywood was the genius and the strength behind the great plot. and that Steunenberg was added to the list because of his part during the labor troubles in north Idaho. It will be alleged that Hay wood and his associates standing and working in the background, plan ned the long list of crimes. and sent Harry Orchard and Steve Adams forth as hired executioners.
 To Rehearse Alleged Conspiracy.
 The States testimony will begin with a rehearsal of the Caldwell tradegy in which Frank Steunehberg was blown to death by a bomb on the night of December 6, 1905, ana then the presence at Caldwell of Harry Orchard and John I. Simpkins. q mem- Der of the executive board of the West ern Federation of Miners. will be shown. After that Harry Orchard will be called to the stand to re-tell the confession which 1t Is alleged he made to detective Mcfarland. After that will come the States effort to corroborate the Orchard story. and to clinch by other testimony the general part of the Western Federation of Miners, the particular part of William D. Haywood. alleged In connection with the murder of Frank Steunen- berg
