CLEARS COURTROOM
Peculiar Incident in Boise Basin Tim
Der Fraud Cases.


BOISE, Idaho. April 10. - Judge
DIETRICH did a remarkable thing yes
terday just before the noon recess of
the federal grand jury which is look
ing into the timber entries made for
land in the Boise basin.
The jury had signified q desire to
consult the court concerning parts of
his instructions, given at the begin
ming of the investigations, and filed
into the open court that he might
speak to them. There were a num-
Der of persons in the various Offices
and in the corridors OF the building,
who, believing that the body was
about to report at once, fastened to
the courtroom. Judge Dietrich very
gravely announced that the matter to
be taken up was such that he did not
believe 1t advisable that persons other
than the jurors themselves and the
governments attorneys, Assistant At
torneys General Peyton Gordon and
William R. Harr. be present, where
upon the clerk of the court, the baiIiff
and the outsiders present filed from
the room.
The incident created much conjec-
ture as to what it all might mean.
1t was learned that the matter under
discussion was of such a vital nature
that it would decide If there was any
necessity for calling further wit
nesses, and from this it is supposed
that these instructions were asked for
concerning the statute OF limitations
All the witnesses summoned had been
heard before the jury went into the
courtroom.
On reconvening in the afternoon
attorneys were excluded and the jury
took up deliberations. A report was
expected at most any time until Il
was announced at 4 O'Clock that an
adjournment had been taken until to
morrow morning.
No request was made for further
witnesses and from this it is taker
that report will be made some time
tomorrow. The general belief is that
If report is made tomorrow, follow
ing the occurrence of today, that nc
true bills will be found.

HELENA, Mont, April 10.-The
trial of John T. Murphy. known as
Montana's greatest cattle baron. who
was indicted on the charge of unlaw-
full fencing of $4,000 acres Of public
land in Sweet Grass county. will be-
gin in the federal court tomorrow
More witnesses have been summoned
by the government to testify In this
case than in any similar suit in the
history Of the state and II Is antici-
pated that II will take nearly a month
to dispose Of the case.
Owing to the prominence OF Muir
ply it is believed that great difficulty
will be experienced in securing a jury.
Murphy is also a director in a local
bank and has large interests in Flori-
da as well. In fact, he has Just re-
turned from his southern plantation
to face jury on this charge.
