Applications for Money Ord
ers, 1t Is Stated on Witness
Stand, Are Identical With
Petitioners Handwriting.
STATE NEAR CLOSE OF
ITS DIRECT EVIDENCE.
Expected There viii Be Much
important and Valuable
Evidence Come in During
The RebuttaI.

Boise, June 21.-The state called
Charles S. kinsley, Boise attorney
who qualified as handwriting expert
and examined the applications for
money orders and Pettibone's hand
writing He declared they were writ
ten by the same hand. Jim Leahorn,
"a liveryman. identified Haywood as
the man with Orchard when he bought
a horse.
The state may rest its direct testi
mony against Haywood today This
does not mean. of course. that the pros
ecution has offered all the evidence IL
proposes to offer against the defend
ant. To the contrary, it is expected
that much important and valuable ev
idence will be put in on rebuttal. while
it is expected that many things of sig
nificance will be brought out on cross
examination of the defense and wit
nesses. 1t is not probable that the de-
tense will open its case before Monday.
Attorney Darrow stated that after
the close of the states case the de-
fense would have an important matter
to present to the court before pro-
ceeding with the opening statement as
to the line of the defense. This will
be the notification that the defense will
move the court to instruct the jury to
render verdict of not guilty on the
ground that the state has not suffi-
ciently connected Haywood with the
death of former Governor Steunen-I
berg If this motion is denied the de-
fense will ask for an adjournment un-
til Monday. when Mr.. Darrow will
make the opening statement.
Haywood Is Shaken.
Thursday afternoon Senator Borah
produced a witness whose testimony
shook up Haywood and his lawyer
quite visibly. The surprise came
when the witness announced that his
name was w T. Stuart and that he
was a machinist, living in Baker City,
Ore.
In 1899, when the Coeur d.Alene
troubles. which Governor Steunenberg
suppressed, were in progress, Stuart
was living in Silver City, Idaho, where
he was chief engineer of the Blaine
mine. Haywood at that time was en-
iployed in the mine and Stuart heard
him express himself several times re-
.garding Steunenberg's action as gov
ernor.
When the witness was asked to tell
what he heard Haywood say, Lawyer
Richardson hoped UP in great haste
with an objection and an argument to
back it up. He fought hard. but the
court overruled the objection. and Stu
art told of hearing Haywood talk one
day in the timber shed of the Blaine
mine.
The expression that attracted my
attention" said Stuart, was that Steu-
nenberg was a tyrant and a monster
and should be killed. l am not posi-
tive of the exact expression, but 1
think that was it,
Defense Strongly Objects.
Immediately there was roar from
the counsel table of the defense. 1T
ultimately resolved itself into this
from Richardson:
Now, if your Honor please. we don't
want to know what this witness
thinks; we want what he knows, or
nothing at ALL
Haywood sat back in his chair, his
one good eye fixed on the witness. his
mouth tightly closed and the muscles
of his heavy jaw working convulse-
lively as they always do when he is ex-
cited.
state your best recollection of what
Haywood said" directed Senator Bo-
ran. There was perfect silence in the /
courtroom. Several of the jurors lean
ed forward in the effort to hear every
syllable.

Difficult for Defense.
Then Senator Borah proceeded TO /
link Pettibone with the time up to Or
ehard's attempted crimes in San Fran
cisco. the time he tried 10 kill Fred +
Bradley. and he did il so well it is hard
to see how the defense can get away
from it. This was done by the aid of 1
the records of the Postal Telegraph I
company. and the testimony of W. b. I
Mccartney. who in 1904 was cashier
of the Denver office of the company.
Mccartney produced an application 10 4
transfer money and the telegram that
actually did transfer it under date of 4
Sept. /. 1901. The defense fought yie-
oTously 10 prevent the admission OF all
this evidence. but in vain Judee
