BOISE, Idaho, June 20.-Unless there
should be unforeseen delay in securing
final pieces of evidence the state will
tomorrow close it's case against William
D. Haywood, whom it charges with the
murder of Frang Steunenberg. This
announcement was made this afternoon
by Senator Borah, one of the special
prosecutors, and when Clarence Dar-
row Of the defense took vi the discus
sion of the arrangement of time he
made it clear that directly after the
state closed he and his associates would
move the court for an instruction d.
recting verdict OF acquittal. 1t is now
anticipated that the state will close by
noon; that the afternoon session will
be devoted to argument of the expected
motion of the defense, and IL the court
rules adversely on the motion the open
ing statement in behalf of Haywood
will be made by Mr.. Darrow on Satur-
day.
The prosecution succeeded today in
again showing a direct connection be-
tween George Pettibone in Denver and
Harry Orchard at work on the Bradley
crime in San Francisco and promises
to make the connection with Pettibone
personally by handwriting experts who

ords of the Pacific Postal Telegraph
company were produced that showed
that in September and October, 1904
remittances Of $3.50 and $4S, respective
iy, were made, the first by u. Wolff
and the aecond by "P. Bone" from 1725
Stout street in Denver-the address OF
Pettibone's store-to III. Green In
care of Peter L. Huff at 211 Taylor
street, San Francisco"
Threats Against Steunenberg
The state also showed that while at
Silver City. Idaho, in 1899, Haywood de-
clared that Steunenberg was tyrant
and a monster, who should be exter-
minated, and by James Kirwan, acting
secretary treasurer of the western
Federation of Miners, that Jack Simp-
kins and Marion Moore were made
members of the executive board of the
federation in 1905, and that control OF
all expenditures made by the organiza-
ton was vested in the. president and
secretar, treasurer.
Tor the rest 1t was day of reading
with Senator Borah as first reader.
Judge Wood admitted many of the
strongly-worded articles of the Miners
magazine In which Frank Steunenberg
was bitterly denounced and as one after
another they were allowed, Borah read
them to the jury. TneSo were auInitteu
as showing the animus of the federation
officials against Steunenberg, AND as
showing animus against Justice God
dard and Gabbert of the supreme court
of Colorado, whom Harry Orchard
swore he tried many times to kill.
To practically every piece of testi-
mony offered during the day the de-
fense first offered objection, then made
a motiC.l to strike out, and lastly took
an exception on the record. To all evil
dence connected with the general con-
spiracy alleged by the state. the OBJ
iections of the defense included the
proposit. .ons that the acts shown were
not binding on the defendant, and that
they y;,re not connected with the
Steynenberr murder and there was
freouel.t objection to the evidence Of
fered to corroborate the testimony. OF
Harry Orchard. an alleged accomplice
in the manner provided by the statute.
