TWO MORE JURORS
And the Panel to Try William D. Hay
wood Will Be Completed.

Boise, Idaho, May 31.-There remain
only two vacancies in the jury that will
try William r. Haywood for his life
for alleged participation in the assas-
sination of Former Governor Steunen-
berg and there is reason for hoping
that they will be filled by tomorrow af-
tcrnopn. The state today exhausted its
arbitrary rights as to the personnel Of
tho jury by using its 10th peremptory
challenge.
In al probability the defence must
use its final challenge tomorrow. After
that the selection of the 18th juror must
lie left to fateful chances, for the first
talcSTan that comes within the re-
qairements of legal qualification must
he chosen. There may still be dismissal
Ivy mutual agreement, but IT is unusual.
The special venire of 81 talesmen which
presented Itself when the trial was re-
sumrd this morning proved fruitful in
was the usual Offering OF asserted ex-
cuSeS. but only five OF them moved the
heart of the court.
