BOISE, Idaho, June 1.-William D.
Haywood was seized with a sudden ILL
ness early this morning and was unable
to appear in court. His trial on the
charge of numbering Governor steunen-
berg was adjourned until Monday.
Haywood was restless and i'll most of
the night and early this morning be-
gan crying in pain. Two physicians
announced after examining him that he
was suffering from an acute intestinal
toxemia. Measures for the alleviation
of the pain in his abdomen and head
included the administration Of NOR
phine and dizziness and nausea caused
by the drug rather than the original
trouble were responsible for his in
ability to go to the court room in the
afternoon. Haywood is hearty eater
and since the trial began has stopped
taking exercise, and these conditions,
added to the worry and strain of the
trial, are believed to be responsible
| for the attack.
The earlier suffering of the prisoner
created the impression that he was
quite seriously ill., and it was thought
that an extended interruption of the
| trial was inevitable. However, Hay
and by $50 this morning when Judge
Wood ordered a recess of court until
1:30 it was believed that the prisoner
would be able to attend an afternoon
session. He did attempt to DRESS but
the effort made him dizzy and ill and
he returned to his bed. His counsel
informed the court that he would surely
be able to be present on Monday and
an adjournment was taken until II
o'clock of that day.
TaIesmen Warned
The jury was not brought into court
and the talesmen in attendance were
again warned to refrain from discus
sing the case. The case therefore
stands where it did at adjournment las
evening. Two men must be found tt
complete the jury unless one side o.
the other attempts to open the way fol
the removal of some of the jurors al
ready chosen.
The final movements in jury selec-
tion, coupled with the unexpected in
| terruption of the trial, have given the
case greater local interest and more
local discussion than it has had here
tofore. Active friends of the prosecu-
ton expressed the belief that the ILL
ness of Haywood was convenience to
gain time for a further investigation of
the talesmen of the veniremen. Others
were sure that Haywood had collapsed
under the strain Of the trial, and these
and a dozen other rumors went
through the town.
| One suspicious friend of the defense
declared that the friends of Haywood
should present petition to the county
authorities asking for permission to
| personally prepare and serve all food
to the prisoner. Still another report
was that the defense, greatly dissatis-
| fed with several men in the jury box,
would seek by a show of affidavits to
get consent for their re-examination.
A further report was that the state
was not satisfied with one of the jurors
and would seek to have him removed
after the defense used it's last per-
emptory
Peter Breen, an attorney of Butte, re-
tanned by the miners union of that
city to assist in the Defense arrived
here today. He met the other counsel
for the defense and also the prisoners,
but took no part in the brief court pro-
ceedings. There appeared to be some
question about his entry into the case,
and it was said that he would not re-
main here.
