The expense to the defense has bee'i a great deal more than to the state. It has been stated by those who have been close to the defense that so far the defense has spent very iloso to $150,000 in defending William D. Hayh wood. On June 6 a settlement was bad be- tween Canyon county and Ada county for the ailtount speut by the latter county on aeomiut of the Haywood trial and Canyon county issued warrants to Ada county totaling H7.-8527, the amount spent to that date.

From the same fund the also ere pay of( fees paid, torney certain dei'i:l0t, detectives feea, etc.,' all of which amounted up to something over $63,000. It la Interesting to note that much of the expense has been on account of the Jury. All jurors summoned, while on duty and Until excused wera allowed $3 per dav. That amount baa meant that twelve men for 76 dayx, of the trial, received $36 per dav and that In all 248 persons sutnmond as Jurors each received $3 per day for days running from one up to on average of six days each. All of the time since May 9. five bailiffs have each recelvwl $5 per day and there have been a number of special deputies drawing each $3 per day. Several by of these have been paid directly Canyon county, but most of them have drawn their pay In slate warrants from the appropriation fund.
