Much Defense Mekee Statement In a joint interview with Mr. Dar-roand Mr. Richardson after the empanelling of tbe Jury today, the following ltatement wae made by them: The Haywood Jury la nude up of eight Republicans, three Democrats and one Prohibitionist. It consists of nine farmers, one real' estate ' agent, one building contractor and one foreman of fence construction on a railroad. There Is no man on tbe Jury who worka for wages or who has ever belonged to a labor organization, excepting Burna, who wee a memlier of a carpentera union 14 yeara ago, or who haa ever been a student of trade's unionism or the labftr question. In the two hundred odd jurors drawn not more than three trades unionists were placed In the panel and these were excused for conscientious objections to capital punishment and fixed opinions. The Jurora drawn have been mainly fanners Interspersed with a large number of baukera and some business men." Jurors Are Men of Honest Purposes. The Jurors appear to be men at honest purposes, determined to give the defendant a fair trial, but It ia uniformly made up uf a class to which none of the defendants have ever belonged and who have no natural kinship to labor organisations. In addition to this they are drawn from a small county, almost wholly agricultural and each member for a year and a half baa read little about the case except what has been contained In tne Boise dally papers, and this has uniformly been hostile to the defendants. Nearly all of them admitted that they had formed opinions and Impressions from what they read and necessarily theta must have been against the defendant State Satisfied With the Jury. Commenting on the Jury,' James H. Hawley, leading counsel for the state, aaid: We are thoroughly satisfied with, the Jury. We have twelve men who will do even Juatice between the state and tbe defendant They are all good citizens of Ada county and the atate of Idaho, They are men, I believe, without the slightest prejudice and we are willing to await their verdict ia confidence after the evidence la all In. Messrs. Harrow and Richardson issued a Joint statement today asserting that at no time haa there been any disagreement between them on any point In the case. The former announced In court this afternoon that Peter Breen, an attorney of Butte, had Joined the defense anJ Judge Mood directed that he be formally enrolled. Haywood Again Taken Sick.

He asked the sheriff to send for a doctor and the eounty physician was at once Haywood told him that he feared a return of the attack of Saturday, and asked the doctor to change hla medicine. Dr. Lewis prepared a prescription which Haywood took, and afterwards he aaid he felt better. After leaving the prisoner Dr. Lewis sail that Haywood was not at all seriously III, hut his nervous system was in bad condition, and there was immediate danger of a return of the acute attack of Saturday, and that tbe prisoner would have to be extremely careful. 4.

Twice during the dosing hour of today's session of the Bchmlts trial it seemed all but certain that the Jury was about to be completed, after weeks of arduous effort But each time the long looked for twelfth Juror escaped through peremptory challenge, once exercised by the prosecution, once by the defense; and overnight adjournment waa finally taken with eleven chosen men in the box and one not yet examined. Just before adjournment today former Judge Falrall for the defense, made a motion to thia effect: That the ruling of the court laat week in allowing the challenging by the prosecution of two jurors after they had been sworn, gave the defense, under .the law, the right to demand tea additional peremptory challenges In lieu of the dismissal of all the other Jurors and the empanelinent of an entirely new Jury.
