constitution, court and justice, Is daily
filled with the most outrageous lies
and inf1ammatory articles calculated to
prejudice the minds Of the entire COM
munity against the Western federation
and the accused men as monsters Of in
fanny, and every known crime. Only
a day or two ago a long article ap-
peared, justifying the kidnapping, say
ing 1t was not matter how the men
were obtained; let them be tried for
their crime first, and then they could
try the kidnapers. OF course. the
have such ample opportunity to bring
to trial two governors Of states sup
ported by the supreme court Of the
United States.
Orchard. the confessed murderer, the
prejudiced betrayer of the men who
had been his union brothers years,
the arch tool Of the arch enemy of
labor, is comfortably housed within
the boundaries of the state penitentiary
walls, though not within the prison
itself. He has what Is known as the
woman's apartment, house standing
alone, all to himself, where he has
unlimited freedom, the best Of every
thing the market affords. and is visited
by the prosecuting attorney Hawley,
and those most interested in the con-
viction of the prisoners, to coach him
for the ordeal on which so much de-
pends. When he comes to the stand
he will tell his tale as pat as his law
vor confession roads
Clarence Darrow Is Able.
The attorneys for the defense de-
clare that everything is in readiness.
Clarence Darrow, is the only one that
realizes the true import of the situa-
ton from the standpoint Of class in
terests. So mastery is his grasp Of
the circumstances that no stone has
been left :unturned that will show the
absolute absurdity of the wholesale
murder charges that are In reality
ed.xagainst 49, the officials Of the
Western federation.
Mr.. Richardson Of Denver has no
superior in his magnificent mental
attainments, his encyclopedia grasp of
the law, and in fertility of resources.
The country Has been secured for evil
dence, strong force Of assistants has
been employed preparing every detail
that might in any way refute the bitter
attacks Of the enemies Of organized la
Dor.
Mrs. Haywood Is an Invalid.
Mrs. Haywood and two daughters
are in Boise attending the trial. Rooms
have been found for them near the jail.
Mrs. Haywood is taken daily to the
court room in a wheeled chair. Mrs.
Meyer and; Mrs. Pettibone have been
here ever since the incarceration Of
their husbands. Such an exposure has
been made of the inherent vulgarity
and dishonesty Of. the characters Of
both Gooding and Borah, and their
willingness to prostitute their serv-
ices to whatever interests will furnish
the money that these men have now
made it the objective goal of their
career to substantiate their positions
by the conviction. Of those held in dur
ance through any means.
Boras Is Coarse and immoral.
Borah is notorious for his open and
coarse immortality, and the disclosures
In the Indictment cases are such as
would have disqualified him from ap-
pearing in court on the Meyer Hay
wood-Pettibone case had not, the
Washington authorities interviewed in
his behalf.
Gooding is so ignorant that he has
only learned toAwrite his name within
the last few years, so boorish that
when he eats in public place he
attracts the attention Of all spectators
by his disgusting ways. His secretary
prepares and writes all his speeches,
and an amusing instance is given Of
the late campaign Of how, when his
speech had been in some way delayed,
nv ha OF fa1 t4 ~l~
pranced up and down the platform CALL
ing on the "men and wimmens'' to vote
for him.
Old NeighbOrs Praise Haywood.
Haywood's old neighbors from VIM
nemucca, New, have issued a state
ment testifying to his excellent reputa-
ton, and their confidence in him. The
district judge, district attorney, county
officials, and other men Of high stand
Ing in the community have signed their
names to the testimonial. The state
ment follows:
