LEAD NOW WITH DEFENSE
More Delayed Corroborative Evidence
Is Expected.
ASSOCIATION WITH DEFENDANT
Interesting Story About a Horse and
Buggy Which Haywood is Said
to Have Owned.

BOISE, June 21.-The state this morning
made It's last tender of evidence against
William D. Haywood. on trial for the al
legged murder of Frank Steunenberg. and
the lead is now with the defense, which
will this afternoon ask for an instructed
verdict for the prisoner.
Two important pieces of testimony were
offered this morning.
Charles S. Kingsley, handwriting ex-
pert, testified that the writing of the waiv-
ers on the money kilograms sent from Pet
tibone's store in Denver in the names OF
81. Woiff'' and "P Bone" to III. Green"
in San Francisco, was done by the same
hand that penned Petitioners letter to John
L. Stearns.
The Last Day.
A stipulation by the defense admitting
the fact that Haywood telegraphed money
to Steve Adams at Ogden in 1903 and a
ruling by the court denying the dissenting
opinion in the Meyer habeas corpus case In
Colorado, cleared the direct work Of the
prosecution and opened the way to the plea
and case Of the defense.
More documents are expected today, and
other delayed corroborative evidence will
be introduced. The state will go back to
the San Francisco chapter of Orchards
story, and may produce the record of the
sale of the gunpowder with which Or
chard says he made the bomb which he as

The defense will not attempt TO deny
or contradict Orchards statements that
no is many times a murderer or that
he is guilty of crimes Of which he stands
charged but they maintain their client.

and today or tomorrow will move that the
charge against Haywood be dismissed be-
cause the state has failed to show his con-
nection with any of the crimes of which
Orchard has told or to connect him with the
specific crime of which he stands charged.
