The HAYWOOD TRIAL.

Counsel for Haywood put on the
stand in the Boise trial Morris Fried
man, formerly a stenographer for the
Pinkerton detective agency at Denver,
who said he was acting as a spy for
the Western Federation of Miners.
His testimony tends to show that the
Pinkertons, acting for the Mine Own
ers' association and the Citizens ALI
ance conspired to destroy the fedora
ton
Counsel for William ID. Haywood at
Boise, in their efforts to discredit the
testimony of Harry Orchard, put
witness on the stand whose testimony
strongly indicated that the explosion
in the indicator mine was an acci-
dent and not crime.
In the Haywood trial at Boise, Idaho,
a ruling by the court materially limited
the showing Of the defense as to the
alleged counter conspiracy by the
mine owners.
William F. Davis, who, according to
Harry Orchard, was a leader in sever
al of the mine crimes in Idaho, was
put on the stand by the Haywood de-
Tense and denied Orchards state
ments His testimony was weakened
somewhat by Senator Borah's severe
cross-examination.
The first direct testimony in the de-
Tense of William ID. Haywood was
chiefly directed toward showing that
Harry Orchard, blaming Frank Steun-
enberg for the loss OF his interest in
the Hercules mine, had threatened to
have revenge by killing him, and that
the conduct of Orchard and K. c. Ster-
ling, both before the independence
explosion, when they were frequently
seen together, and afterwards, when
Sterling called off the bloodhound that
was following Orchards trail, justified
the inference that the mine owners in
spired the crime.
