JUDGE WOODS CHARGE
IS EM|NENTLY FAIR
Case Went to the Jury at lO:59---No Re-
port at 3 O'Clock---Haywood
Left Dock Smiling

ROISE, July 27.-Judge Fremont
wood today delivered his charge to the
iurv in to whose keeping was given
the fate of william Haywood, secre-
,arv and treasurer of the Western
Federation of Miners, charged with the
murder of former Governor Frank
steuenberg, of Idaho. He gave the
;,rv the choice of five verdicts as fol-
lows: Murder in the first degree. muir
der in the second degree, voluntary
manslaughter, involuntary manslaugh-
ter and not guilty.
The charge contained 66 instruc-
tious Judge Wood dwelt at length
mon the laws of conspiracy and upon
the value of the evidence given by ac-
completes.
"The law views such evidence with
dstrust," he declared, "and 1t should
be reviewed by the jury with caution
and scrutinized with great care. and
il from the evidence it appears that
anv favors have been extended by the
authorities to Orchard and there Is any
promise relating to further favors on
account Of his testimony they are
proper matters for the jury to take
into consideration"
Judge Woods charge contained more
than 1900 words, covering the case
from almost every view point and is
regarded by both sides as eminently
fair. If anything, it was the consensus
Of opinion that the court leaned to the
defense.
In regard the corroboration of Or
chard. Judge Wood said the jury should
test the value Of such evidence BY
eliminating his testimony with view
Of ascertaining If there is Independent
testimony tending to connect the de-
fendant with the offense. This corro-
borating evidence" the court contin-
ued, need not be Sufficient of itself
to establish the guilt of the defendant,
but it must tend to some degree to
implicate and connect the defendant
with the commission of the crime
charged"
Further along he said: IF 1t is pos
sible for you to reconcile the facts of
this case upon any reasonable theory
consistent with the innocence of the
Defendant Haywood, it is your duty to
DO 90 and to find the defendant not
guilty."
The jury was instructed that the
night of Simpkins, standing alone,
should not of itself be evidence of |
guilt Of the defendant, but IL the jury |
nnds that he fed after the arrest of |
orchard that fact may be taken into |
consideration as to whether or not /
smpkins is a member of the con-
spracy.
Judge Wood concluded his charge at
1859.
fhe court room was cleared one
minute later, the jury meanwhile re-
manning in the box until 11:04, when it
retired, Judge Wood at 11:O8 ordered
recess until 2 p. m.
Haywood livened his characteristic
S'ocism when the charge was read and
"hen the jury retired went back to
MS cell with a confident smile playing
ABOUT his lips. AS he was about to
leaVe the court room his gray haired
mo'her rushed up and kissed him.

Ex-Congressman Francis w. Rock
well, of Pittsfield, Mass, is, perhaps,
one of the most c%ongenial men prac-
ticing before the Berkshire bar, and
his friends tell many stories to illus
trate his magnanimous spirit. A few
years ago a little newsboy in Pittsfield
found it impossible to collect IS cents
due from a customer, and as a hoax he
was SEM to Lawyer Rockwell by some
friends of the congressman.
"Mr. Rockwell" he said in a
straightforward way, "Mr. Soanso
owes me Is cents for papers and he
won't pay me. 1 guess I'll have to get
a lawyer and l want to retain you.
Will you try to get my money!"
Smilingly MI. Rockwell said he
would, and a day or two later the boy
received his IS cents. In telling of the
incident a little later, Mr.. Rockwell
said:
81 wrote a letter to that mar and
Just shamed him into paying the lad.
You know, I couldn't let that boy grow
up believing that lawyers were just
for rich men and corporations. as he
surely would have if I hadn't agreed
to be his attorney So that's why
helped him."

More Ways Than one-Dignity

A few years ago a New England
minister of much repute accepted a
call to preach in a sedate little New
England village. An official of the
local factory entertained him, and in
showing him about the town on Sun
day morning dropped into church, just
as the organist was getting ready for
the morning service.
The factory official stopped at the
door for a moments conversation, and
his guest wandered up toward the or
gan. The organist was in despera-
ton. The church hour was rapidly
approaching, and the instrument re-
fused to work. She labored in excited
haste to fix tho obstinate notes, but
to no purpose. Then the stranger of
fered his aid.
The organist had seen him some in
with the factory official. and, suppos-
ing him to be a workman, quickly di-
rected him what to do. For a quar-
ter of an hour the stranger and the
organist worked in the dust under the
organ, until at length the notes sound
ed clear and strong.
The organist's thanks were few, for
she noticed the rapidly-gathering con-
gregation, and exclaimed as she noted
