Boise, June 26.-Direct charges Of
attempted intimidation Of their wit
nesses are made by the defense in
the Haywood murder trial against the
states detective agencies.
1t is alleged that representatives Of
m'neowners In Colorado have been
given places in the court room SO they
can listen to the testimony of certain
witnesses and contradict them direct
ly in rebuttal. A representative Of the
defense said that today.
Major Naylor, of the Colorado Ma
tional Guards, who is in possession
Of all the records of the so-called mil
itary courts and Citizens alliance
committees, has been given a seat in
tho court room to compare the test-
mony the defense's men give with
stories they have told before this COM
mittee. But If the state thinks they
can keep our witnesses away by this
means they are badly mistaken. Our
people are telling the truth. II any
are arrested for perjury 1t will all be
trumped-up charge which they can
be quickly clear of by any court"
Major Naylor, when told of these
charges against them, laugher: I'm
here as a witness and have the same
right to sit in the court room during
proceedings as the defense's witnesses.
II is true I've got these fellows rec
ords, but that has been known a long
time"
Never Was an elmer Circle"
Edward Boyce, first president of the
Federation of Miners, was the star
witness for the defense today. He re-
lated all the circumstances connected
with the inception of the organization.
Boyce said 1t was born as a result of
the first Coeur d'Alene troubles. He
said.
THE Federation never counseled vi
olence in any form. In Colorado.
Wyoming and Montana our advocacy
of the eight-hour law made us espec-
tally obnoxious and everything was
done to discredit our motives and
cause dissentions in our ranks.
There was never an inner circle
as has been charged"
Boyce emphatically recited a num-
Der of times his denials that members
of the executive committee ever coun-
tenanced violence and murder.
Boyce is no longer connected with
the federation. having rich mining in
terests in northern Idaho.

talked with Orchard about gambling
and told him II he went to gambling
