HAYWOOD TRIAL AWAITING HIGH PRICES
NEW VENIRE OF TALESMEN CHICAGO MARKET
Boise, May 22.—The Haywood tri­
al |s at a standstill today while the
sherif and his eartir deputy force is in
the country summoning an extra vty
sheriff and entire deputy force is in
cuurt tomorrow, when the work of
securing a jury will be resumed.
Haywood's replies to Simpkins are
also declared to be in the lot.
A man connected with the defense
admits that the prosecution has cer­
tain federation letters, but claims
they are merely routine communica­
tions.
Scnsat*mal Development«.
Blunder of Defense.
While the contest over jurors was
going on there were some sensation
al developments in the progress of
the case elsewhere. Detectives em­
ployed hy the defense are declared to
be searching for two persons from
Denver who are reported to have sold
to the prosecution's agents certain
records abstracted from the letter
files of the Western Federation of
Miners’ headquarters in Denver.
According to the story current
here these documents consist of let­
ters -written by Jack Simpkins from
Caldwell before the September mur­
der. It is claimed that they show
conclusively that Simpkins and Hay­
wood were on terms of unusual in­
timacy and that Simpkins refers di­
rect 1 y to Orchard
and his work.
Much surprise is expressed among
men who have been present at many
great trials over a blunder made bv
the defense Monday in attacking
John Fisher as a juror. The latter
had been passed previously by the
state and Mr. Darrow had reserved
the right to question him further.
Yesterday the questioning occurred,
Mr. Fisher being asked if he had
made a statement to the effect that
the accused men should be strung up.
Mr. Fisher denied it emphatically
Mr. Darrow challenged the Juror on
the ground of actual bias, and C. P.
Allen was sworn as a witness in sup­
port of the challenge.
In answer to Mr, Darrow's ques-

Los Aneeles. May 22.—The South­

to arrive here last night, was wreck­
ed at West Glendale, ten miles north
of here, at 12:30 this morning, and
one man killed and over a score in­
jured, several perhaps fatally.
The wreck was the work of train
wreckers who, with devlUh ingenuity,
removed the fish plates and bolts of
two connecting rails, which they
spliced together with wires. It Is be-
lieved the wires were run up the hill
from the trestle where the wreck oc-
