We'd with the other members of coun-
sci and with the prisoner himself in
thanking, with many evidences of sim

Richardson dictated a statement in

aged mother, who Saturday had suf-

after the jury had retired.

night she was up and happy.
Next Haywood went to the little
cottage where his wife and daughters
have been stopping. He had parted
with Attorney Nugent at the hospital
gate and, left alone in Boise, had to
inquire his way from passers-by.
II want TO thank the people of Boise
for their kindness to my Wife, my
mother, my family and my friends,
said Haywood when he had reached
his home.
There had been widespread sympa-
thy there for Mrs. Carruthers. the pris-
oner's mother. Senator Borah, for in
stance when first apprsed of the ver-
dict said: 81 feel glad for Haywood's
mother"
Inquiry among the Jurors after their
dismissal revealed some of the ele-
ments entering into their decision.
Woods Instruction Did 1t.
Samuel D. Gilman, the last man to
be won over to the defense, declared
that majority of the men seemed
convinced that the general tone of the
courts instructions indicated that the
defendant should be freed. Finley
Mclean, who voted consistently for
acquittal from the first, declared that
the Judges instructions seemed to set
tie all doubt.
Juror james Robertson, the good ma
tured Scotchman, at whose home here
in Boise Governor Steunenberg board
ed for mere than two years, said: Il
could not reconcile myself to voting
any other way than for the defense
from the very first, and think thas
from the law and evidence there was
nothing else for us to dc. The last fell
low who held out against acquittal be-
longs TO the same fraternal organiza-
ton that I do. There was some talk
of a. compromise on a second degree
verdict, but We could not stand for
that"
Juror Samuel F. Russell, the senior
member of the panel, said: "There
was nothing against Haywood but sus-
picion and inference, and when we
came to dovetail the evidence in the
Jury room it did not seem to fit"
Samuel D. Gilman, juror No. 3, said:
II cannot point out any particular in
struction that seemed to decide the
boys on a verdict Of not guilty. l do
not think. there was any particular in
struction that they debated over ! be-
lieve it was the instructions generally
They couldn't seem to make head or
tail to them, but were convinced that
the general tone Indicated that the de-
fendant should be freed"
Congratulations Pour In.
Haywood received scores of tele-
grams of congratulations during the
day FROM all sections of the country.
Many were from individuals and many
more from labor and socialist organi-
cations.
Last night Haywood issued the fol-
lowing statement:
Il appreciate the support extended
to US by workingmen thruout the
country. I hope to be able during the
coming year, personally, to express
that appreciation. 1 have no feeling
nor i'll will toward any person MY in
tention is to go back to Denver and
take up my work where left off when
l was arrested.
II appreciate the kindness and
consideration with which my family
has been treated by the people of
