Arraigned For Mur
der of Steunenberg.
By J. S. DUNNIGAN.
Boise, Idaho, May 9.—William D.
Haywood, accompanied by his Invalid
wife and two daughters, appeared In
the district court tills morning tp stand
trial for the murder of former Govern
or Frank Steunenberg. After many
months of Imprisonment the big sturdy
man appears In robust health and good
spirits.
Twenty-live term Jurors, a large
corps of newspaper men and a com'
psrotively few spectators, most of
whom are men from distant points, are
la attendance at tho opening of the
trial.
Before proceeding to the examination
of Jurors the defense made a lost effort
to penetrate the secrecy' which shields
the state’s case. A demand that the
Idaho statute requiring the filing of tho
names of the witnesses to be called by
the state was made by Attorneys Dar-
row and Richardson.
Should It happen that the state Is
compelled to file tho names of all the
witnesses to be called It will then be
known Just what crimes and conspira
cies alleged to have grown out of
strikes and lockouts In the mines are
to be the basis of the prosecution.
Former Representative Wilson, of
Boise appeared In court this morning
as additional counsel for Haywood.
Wilson will practically have charge of
the selection of the Jury, as he Is thor
oughly acquainted with the citizens
and conditions.

gan a crowd was In the court room.
Nearly all the new-comers were Jurors
who were summoned to try this case.

nesses In all of the trials were tiled.
Darrow asked If ft Included all the
names, and Hawley said all witnesses
known were listed, but that other
qiames might be added In a week or so.

DETECTIVES CLAIM CLE W
TO OWNER OF OAKEN BOX
• WHICH HELD EXPLOSIVE
The detectives say they have evi
dence which Indicates that they will
shortly be able to confront with proof
of his crime, the man who eent the In
fernal machine to the McCarthy home.
Although the officers are reticent
concerning this evidence, they say they
have the name of a witness who Is re
ported to have declared that he knows
tho man who had In his possession such
a box as that sent to Miss McCarthy.
The name of this witness has not been
disclosed. Detectives Simpson and
Campbell, who are working on the mys
tery, will hold a conference with this
witness during the day. ,
Fred Bush, tho young man held at
police headquarters, dentOB that ho has
ever been In love with Miss McCarthy,
ana says he had no 111 feeling toward
her. k
Miss McCarthy stated to a Georgian
reporter Thursday morning that some
time ago she quarrelled with Bush, and
that since that time he had not been to
her house. Bush says ho had never
been to sea Mlsa McCarthy but about
three times In two years, and the young
woman corroborates this' statement.
Miss McCarthy was disinclined to
discuss her quarrel with Bush, saying
It was about a ’’business” matter. Latter
she admitted, with a smile; that It was
’’personal bustnoas."
Mint McCarthy’s Story.
Miss McCarthy said:
‘‘I was horrified and surprised when
I learned of the explosion. I am unable
to say who sent the box to the house;
and why anyone should have wanted to
kill me. If Mr. Bush sent the box I am
Ignorant of his reasons. He never came
to see me but three or four times and I
have never had the slightest Intimation
that he was Jealous. We have no other
enemies and I don't know of anyone
who would want to commit such a hor
rible crime.
’’Mr. Doolittle, Mr. Bush's partner Hi
business, has been calling on me and
bought three tickets to the Bijou thea
ter, Intending to take mother and my
self. Mother was unable to go last
night, however, because of a sore foot.
and gave her. ticket to my 16-year-old
brother, John. We three went to the
theater, leaving mother and the two
younger children at home.
"As to the explosion. I know only
what mother told me. About 10 o’clock
sho says she heard the door bell ring
down stairs, and, on answering It, found
a messenger boy with a package. The
package was addressed to me, my name
having been written on a typewriter.
Mother went back upstairs Into the
hallway, and, thinking the package was
a box of candy for me, unwrapped It,
flndlng It to be a wooden box, with a
key In It. Bhe then unlocked the box
and raised the ltd. A terrific explo
slon Instantly followed."
Bush Makes Statement,
Bush made the following statement to
The Georgian Thureday morning at tho
police station:
•’I am entirely Innocent of this charge
against me. I know nothing of any In
fernal mnchlne and had no connection
with It whatever. I was not a sweet
heart of Miss McCarthy and have never
been in love with her. Her mother, who
conducts a store, has had business
dealings with my firm and I became
acquainted with the family through
this means. I have called at the house
only about three or four time* in two
years and have never tried to marry
Mlsa McCarthy. I had no reason to
want to kill her or her mother."
Bush was taken Into custody shortly
before midnight by Sergeant Lanford
and Detectives Simpson and Campbell
at his room, 101 1-2 Whitehall street,
which room Is also occupied by Doolit
tle. Bush declares he left his store at
36 South Broad street about 7:30
o'clock and retired between 8 and
o’clock. When asked at to his move
ments after leaving the store, he said
■’I first went to a saloon on Broad
street, near Alabama, and took a glass
of beer. I then walked around on Ala
bama street, near The Constitution
building, and had lunch In a restau
rant.. Leaving there, I strolled down
Whitehall and stood fpr some time In
the stairway, which leads to my room,
and listened to a phonograph across
the street Iffhen retired."

Pretty little 13-year-old Mary Rosa
Johnson, daughter of Mrs. L. W. John
son, of 40 Pavilion street, proved her
self a heroine by bravely rescuing the
McCarthy twins, Mary and Joseph, 12
years of age, who were locked In the

slon.
While the two McCarthy children
were groping about trying to And a
means of exit in the darkened room,
which was filled with dust and smoke,
the little Johnson girl smashed the
glass from a window, and, without
considering the danger to herself,
bravely climbed Into the room, seized
the frightened children and lifted them
out onto the ground. As a result of
the daring act, the Uttle girl waa pain
fully gashed on the hand by the Jagged

without hesitation, to break .into the

The concussion from the explosion
instantly extinguished the light and
blew the door shut with such force
to lock It.
Awakened by the explosion and the
sefeame of their mother, ths children
leaped from bed and rushed through
the darkness toward the door, only to
find It securely fastened. While the be.
