BARON BECOMES A MINER TO WIN THE GIRL HE LOVES None of Them Natives of Idaho and Are Not Connected With Boise, Idaho, June 4. Chapter two of the drama centering into the trial of William D. Haywood for the murder of ex Governor Steuenenberg, the consequences of fifty years of mining: struggles, opened today. With the Jury completed after twenty six days of searching examinations and the calling of nearly three hundred men, Attorney Hawley, for the prose cution, stated the charges and presented his general plan of battle. The examination of Alfred Eoff yesterday had led to much discussion today.

Partisans of the defense criti cize the court for not dismissing Eoff immediately upon his statement that he believed Haywood guilty, although he qualified his statement by declar ing that he could render an impartial verdict according to the evidence pre sented. The defense was forced to resort to their last peremptory challenge to get Eoff out of the box. This left them in a position where they were forced to accept as a juror a man who voted for the conviction of a defendant during the Wyoming cattle war. This man was Juror Sebern. Exceptions were taken to Judge Wood's ruling, and in the event of a conviction a new trial will be asked upon the grounds that the court erred in not discharging Eoff for bias.

The Haywood Jury complete is as mollows: Thomas B. Gess, real estate; Finley McBean, rancher; Samuel D. Gilman, farmer; Daniel Clark, farmer; George Powell, rancher; O. V. Seborn, farmer; H.

F. Mssecar, farmer; Lee Scrivener, farmer; J. A. Robertson, farmer; Levi Smith, carpenter; A. P.

Burns, retired rancher, and Samuel F. Russell, farmer. All of the jurors at one time or other have been farmers. Not one of them has had anything to do with mining. Not one is a native of Idaho, and not one is a native of a far Western State.

Two were born in Canada and two in Scotland. The other eight are from Iowa, Illinois, Nebrasga, Western Pennsylvania, Kansas and Missouri. Only one Juror, A. H. Marnes, has ever had any Inside knowledge of labor unionism, and his experience was limited.

Fourteen years ago he Joined the Boise Printers' Union and was a mem be? in good standing until he gave up hM trade and took to farming. With the single exception of Dan Clark, who is thirty one years of age, every member of the Jury ls past fifty, one is seventy one years old, one is sixty eight and all others are between fifty and sixty, the average being fifty five years.
