There were 16 men examined and

deep-seated opinions as to the guilt

scruples about hanging a murderer
on circumstantial evidence. The ex

Only once was the easy awing of the

Juror Fisher and questioned him as to
a coversatlon with a local socialist
named Allen last October. Fisher
waa at first certain he had not talked
with Allen, but when Allen came for

swore Fisher told him he know of
acts of the accused In Colorado and
that they should have been strung up
before being brought to Idaho. Fish

have told Allen if men did what they
were accused of doing In Colorado,
they should have been strung up.

For Daughter Who Lost Life in
University Fire.
DIED SAVING HER PUPILS
Paya Visit To Daughtsr and On Ar
rival Finds Her Desd and Buried
Mother's Condition Critical Shock
Very Nearly Proves Fatal.
CHICAGO, May 20.A pitiful little
procession wound its way Into Oak
HU1 Cemetery, indlana Harbor, Ind,
yesterday the occasion was the
re-Interment of Miss Aurora Wuette
bert, the young musician who per
ished last week in the fire at the Kan
sas City ynlverslty building while en
gnged In heroic efforts to save the
lives ot her pupils. The young girl
had first been buried In Kansas City,
but the mother, in grief, had gone to
the grave and refused to leave the spot
until the body waa disinterred and
brought back to her home at Indi
ana Harbor. A week ago Mrs.
Wuottebert left Indiana Harbor to
pay a visit to her daughter in Kansas
City, when she arrived she found that
her daughter was dead and burled.
Tho shock proved almost fatal to the
unfortunate woman. She hastened to
the ceemtery, and throwing herself on
her daughter's grave, demanded that
she bo given the corpse of her child.
The body, was disinterred ar.d Mrs.
Wuettebert returned with the remains
to her home in order that the burial
might take place where she could go
and sit by the grave every Jay. Tes
terday her grief overwhelmed her and
she threw herself on the grave, call
ing again and again upon tho daugh
ter who could never hear her. It was
necessary to use violence before she
could be led from the cemetery, and
at a late hour last night It was feared
that the tragedy would become a
double one. Mrs. Wuetteberfs condi
tion Is extremely critical and she has
to be carefully watched In order to
prevent her from attempting her own
life In the frenzy it her grief.
