When the Haywood trial was about to begin Friday morning, Judge Wpod caused a decided sensation by that he bad read In the morning papers several articles concerning an Interview with the states most Important witness against the defendant. Judge Wood declared the publications were highly Improper, coming as they did during the Impaneling of the jury. "While they appear to the court as not precisely In contempt, continued Judge Wood, they are nevertheless calculated to Influence the jury in this case. Something must be done to prevent a recurrence of this if we are ever to get a jury. The court Is much surprised at this publication at this time and will be glud to hear from counsel on the subject." James II. Hawley, leading counsel for the prosecution, deeply regretted any occurrence that might prejudice the case, but disclaimed any responsibility In the matter, and claimed that If anyone had been injured by the publication of the Interview, It was the prosecution. Mr. Richardson, of counsel for Haywood. declared that the publication of the Interview with Orchard "was done for the express purpose of Influencing the Jurors to, give credence to this witness," meaning Orchard. Mr. Richardson added: "It was a dastardly outrage on this defendant. Anything' that the court can do to protect itself and this defendant and Insure to him the fair trial to which be is entitled, will be heartily seconded by us. We do not believe the attorneys for the prosecution are responsible. We have been watching them closely, and If they think they have done anything that we do not know they are much mistaken. I call on them now to denounce these things as emphatically as we have done. "We especially object to the pur ported Interview of the governor saying what he had done to establish the credence of the witness. "If It was not patent before that thf governor of this state never Intended that this defendant should have a fair trial, It Is very evident now" Senator Borah said he did not believe It was the intention of anyone to control or Influence the Jury In this way. "I will say this, though, that if this man Orchard had been in my keeping I would have put him on exhibition long ago and kept him there. Nothing has passed from the control of the prosecution calculated to hurt the man here on trial. If any harm has been done It has been done to the prosecution." The prosecuting, attorney being present In the court room, Judge Wood said: "I call his attention to several articles In this mornings papers one reporting the details of the visit of the newspaper men lo the penitentiary, two others signed by two correspondents, and giving their opinion of Orchard, and another purporting to have been sent out by the Associated Press. "If, after careful Investigation, without fear or favor, he concludes that an attempt has been made In any way to Influence Jurors, he will take such action as the law seems to Justify. I have every confidence In the prosecuting attorney." g CERTAIN OF REACHING POLE. Peary Makes Changes In Plans for Hla Next Daeh North. Boston. Commander Robert E.
