. Boise, May li. Qarcnce Darrow, instead of Richardson, o
counsel for the defense took up the examination of jurymen being
impaneled for the Haywood, Moyer and rettibone trial this morn

examining on alternate days. ! -r .
The change today, however, is dramatic in the ditTerence be
tween the two meriT Richardson , is a big man with a sonorous
voice and a manner that is somewhat arrogant and superior, lie
seems to regard jurors from a plane of extreme and judicial aloof
ness. There is a note in his voice that invites verbal reprisals.
Yesterdav forenoon he labored for half an hour to cet some
admission of partiality front Walter Shaw, the brother of a Repub
lican member ot the state legislature, it. is more than probable
that Shaw will vbe summarily challenged by the defense and so re
moved from the jury, but Richardson failed to get an opportunity;
yesterday to challenge "for cause.? - -
- Talesman Shaw Is Unshaken.
Shaw in answering Richardson's questions was perfectly simple
and simply, perfect.! He was impartiality itself, indifferent to all
the issues pi the case, prepared tpt do his duty. Richardson took
him back and forth and in and out of a maze of considerations, con
cerning "unqualified conviction" and "impressions" and "desires in
the premises "kbut nothing came, of it for Richardson. ;Shaw will
be' removed by the peremptory challenge in the end, but he could
not be shaken yesterday.
