TRIAL

Boise, Idaho, June. l.-r-That the

ernor Frank Steunenberg will actual
ly begin Monday seems certain.
There Is a bare possibility-that be
opening address for the prosecution
may be made before court closes to
day, but this is not probable. . There
are now ten jurors In the box. The
State has exhausted -Its peremptory
challenges, and the defense has but
one left, so the announcement - by
Judge Fremont Wood that the juhy
must be completed before court ad

prolongation of the session. - -

, (By Leased Wire to Tho Times.)
.New Tork, June 1. A startling plot
to discredit Mrs. Howard Qould when,
as 'Katharine Clemmons her' engago
ment to young- Howard Gould became
known and to make her marriage Im
possible, will be exposed by Mrs. George
J. Gould when the now celebrated scan
dal Is aired in court, according to
statements today.
Mrs. Georgo Gould is expected to tell
of an effort made to bribe William
Carroll Woodward, known to the po-
lice as "Big" Hawley, to swear that
ho was married to Mrs. Gould In the
west before her beauty snd talent made
her a stage-favorite, nawiey nimseu
will corroborate Mrs. Gould with
statement which he has made already
to the Evening Journal,
HawJey said today that while he was
in Auburn prison, an agent of the
Qould family went to him with an of
fer of IIOO.OCO' If he would swear that
Kntherlne Clemmons was his wife. Ho
declared that ho would go on the wit
ness stand and give the details of the
amazing attempt to bribe him in the
effort -to prevent the marriage of How
ard Gould and the beautiful actress.
The attempt to prove that Katharine
Clemmons had a husband living when
she married Howard Gould began as
far back as ten years ago. It was
renewed when Mrs. Gould left her hus
band because, as she declared In her
bill of complaint, In her suit against
him, "he is an unfit person to live
with." It was to prove this that Detec
tive Sergeant Peabody was sent on his
famous trip to Baltimore by former In
spector McLaughlin, - - -

CONNECT WITH N. S W.
Charter Was Granted by Last Legis
lature to Raleigh A Wlnston-Snlem
Railroad and Said to Have Been
for This Purpose Object to Get
Near Coal Fields.
During the session of the last legis
lature a charter was granted . to the
Raleigh & Winston-Salem Tlallroad
Company, , Incorporated, and many
wondered at the time what the char
ter was secured for and whether It
was for an Independent road or some
or the larger systems. Those named
in the charter as incorporators are:
P. J. Llppert, E. B. Jones. George T.
Brown, J. C. Buxton, O. B. : H5aton,
Sterling Smith, W. T. Carter, W. A.
Blair and H. E .Fries,
From what can be learned this will
not be an Independent road but will
be a continuation of the Norfolk ft
Southern, which at the present time
extends no further, west than Raleigh.
It Is said that the charter .was Secur
ed for the Norfolk ft Soutern for tha
purpose of . building a ; road . , to Wln-
ston-Salem to connect, with the. line
of the Norfolk ft Western,' No special
towns wilt ba considered' in building
this ; line, the main object telng - to
take the most direct reute to Winston.
