 The first day of the trial of Dr. Rosa Boido, charged with performing a criminal operation on Dora Juhl progressed slowly, only two witnesses being called. That it will require several days in the hearing was the statement made by County Attorney l.. M. Laney, who intimated that he would call a number of witnesses, before the state rested.
 Judge Stanfords court room held an unusually large crowd and add- tional chairs were placed in the aisles for the women attracted by curiosity or some interest that can not be understood after hearing the testi- mony. Even when the prosecuting witness took the stand and went into the details of the operation in her calm, unashamed manner-they re- mained. Minors were excluded and witnesses were placed under rule, and still the room remained congested. many standing during the long re- cital.
 It looked for a time yesterday morning as if there would be somv difficulty in securing a jury. Five of the first few veniremen to be ex- amined declared that they had fixed opinions and were dismissed from the jury box. There were among the number, men used to jury duty, Who sat in recent cases. Those eX- cused were Luther Mcdonald, W. J. Burns, $. D. Futile, Hans Hansen and William E. Thomas Although George A. Mintz had heard the cas2 freely discussed and had half formed an opinion, he stated that he could try the case impartially and his name was not scratched by the county at torney nor w. L. 'Barnum and Ben i Goodrich for the defense. Besides MT. Mintz those serving are J. M Cochrane, C. E. Clifford, J. l.. Cant, G. J. Deal, c. c. McEWen, L. Mating | ly, Frank Pinkerton, D. A. Parks, B. Ii. Van Spanckeren, w. N. Bates and 1 Frank Sheets.
 l The county attorney in his opening l statement told of the relations eA isting between Dora Juhl, minor, l and Louis Schlicker, a soda dispenser at local candy shop. He said that 1 he would attempt to prove that last | fall, when Dora discovered the con- dition she was in, she went to Dr. 1 Boido for an examination and when 1 she discovered her surmise was cor 1. rect she inquired the price of the 1 operation and learned it would be l hn tod h. sent her to Dr. Colt Hughes for ex- animation and upon his diagnosing | her case she again went to Schlicker and they decided to have Dr. Boido l operate. Some time later she went to the Twilight Sleep hospital. con- 1 tinued the county attorney and learned 1 that the wait had advanced the price to S100. The girls entrance to the hospital and the subsequent arrest of Dr. Boido were gone into by the state.
 The Juhl girl, who gave her age as 15 and looks fully 10 years older testified to meeting Schlicker when they were employed at the same con- fectioner's last summer. They knew each other three weeks before she went to Prescott, but their relations had already begun and were resumed when she came back in the autumn

She told of going to bed on a certain evening in early February and the following morning a hypodermic was adminis- tered by Dr. Boido, who she alleged said it would fix her up." She re- mained there a few days when the arrest was made and then she was removed to St. Mary's hospital ant placed in charge of Dr. Nichols ant Dr. Beauchamp by order of the county attorney.
