place. They came expecting battle,
murder and eudden death. They are
cirprlsed to find Boise well pared,
wll built, law abiding. Every wit
ness who has ever been a deputy
. e&eriff Is a terrible gun man bent on
shooting up the town. And every
Juryman, or at least nearly every
Juryman, Instead of being anxious to
s on the case and hang Mover, Hay
wpod and Pettlbone at the rising of
t Be next sun, is lying his immortal
soul away In the effort to be dis
qualified for "direct bias," and all
the time farce and tragedy crowd

' George Rivera, an unwilling Juryman,
did that groteequoly yesterday. Tou
mbst reuivmber . that Frank Pteur.en-
bVg 'wti almost shot to pieces by a
hidden bomb.' It was In his own door
yard.. He had twice been fovernor of
Idaho. The concussion spilt open both
Ms ear drums. But men did not know
that when they carried him Into his own
house. He seams to have asked them
plteoualy as he was dying: "Who shot

with answers he could not hear. H
died and they burled him with great
grief and proper honor. He had lived
' a very almple and unassuming life. And
the II ret man arrested for his murder
confessed it and gave the names of
. other men he said were guilty with
. hint. And this case Is to try that Issue
with justice to the memory of Frank
8Ceunenberg and with equal Justice to
tli accused men. It would seem that
good cltlsens In such a cause would be
ready enough to make some personal
e vcrlflee and do their duty like honest
men In trying that cause. And farm
, era are good cltlsens and honest men,
A ad George Rivers, for Instance, la a
farmer, and in most things an honest
man.. But when it came to serving on
this Jury George turned himself inside
out and painted himself as a hopeless
blockhead. Incapable of anything like
reasonable thought He suddenly for
got what a square deal waa. It was
hopelessly and grossly unpatriotic. An
obviously untrue. And yet George had
his humorous spots,
