wood and Pettibone, in charge of deputy
warden and vuarda were taken to Cald
well this morning for arVaignment' "The
train stopped opposite the county jail and
the prisoners were transferred. At ten
o'clock this morning they . wsre brought
before Probate Judge Church who read
the information and charged each wkh
being the murderer of ex-Governor Steu-
nenburg. .The prisoners were repiesent
sd by Attorney E. F. Richardson of Den
ver, but later it was discovered that he
bad no legal authority to appear, not hav
ing been admitted to practice In the state
of Idaho, This courtesy was extended to
him. however., by Prosecuting Attorney
Vanduit, and Pettibone . was first ar
raigned. An affidavit was read charging
him with exploding a bomb by which
Frank Steunenburg met his death the
night of December 50, 1905. The same
charge was then read" to Haywood and
Moyer. While these affidavits, were be
ing read to the men charging them direct
ly with the crime of murder they . stood
mute and refused to plead.' Attorney
Richardson demanded immediate prelim
inary hearing. Under the taw the pre
liminary hearing must be had within two
days after arraignment Notwithstand-
this fact the attorneys agreed ' that the
eases might go over until the twenty
seventh of this month. Richardson de
manded that, the prosecution produce the
names of the witnesses by which proof of
the charges will be established, but the
court overrules him on the ground that
the erossoution had three witnesses who
would corroborate the affidavits filed by
the prosecuting attorney,
Richardson contended that the affidav
it was not sufficient as it charged the in
dividuals with being present at Caldwell
and committing the crime, when Petti
boaeiioad not been in Idaho during the
past twelve years nor had.. Haywood been
in the state for over eight years, and the
complaint did npt charge a conspiracy.
The court issued an order that the pris
oners might have books but not be allowed
newspapers. They may also be permitt
ed to write letters but that these are to be
inspected by the warden.
The defendants weie committed with
out bail pending the preliminary examina
tion.' The party returned to Boise and
were placed in the penitentiary at ' two
