Haywood Thanks Jury.
When the verdict of the jury was
read, Haywood expressed his thanks
personally to each member of the
jury:
And if any one of you ever come to
Denver" he said as they were leaving
the court room, you will always find
welcome at the Haywood home"
Haywood received scores of tele-
grams Of congratulation during the
day from all sections of the country.
Many were from individuals and many
more from labor and Socialist organi-

the first to send greetings.
Haywood Makes Statement.
Sunday night Mr.. Haywood issued
the following statement:

Mother
Haywood's first thought was of his
aged mother, who on Saturday had
suffered complete nervous breakdown
after the jury had retired Leaving
the courtroom in company with Attor-
ney Nugent, he walked down to the
jail portion of the building, shaking
hands as he went with the guards,
employees and friends who had arrived
On the scene. He bade farewell to
Meyer, who, when he heard the verdict
said, That's good" and never stopped
shaking, and to Pettibone, whom Oar
row described to the jury as "a sort of
happy Hooligan,' and who called,
Give my regards to Broadway"
Then Haywood walked to st. Luke S

his mothers room. So great was the
tonic upon the elderly lady that at
night she was up and about and happy.
Next Haywood went to the little cot

have been stopping He had parted
with Attorney Nugent at the hospital
gate and left alone in Boise got all but

passers-by. Once home, Haywood
said: Il want to thank the people of
Boise for their kindness to my wife,
my mother, my family and my friends.
There has been widespread sym
pathy here for Mrs. Carruthers, the
prisoners mother. Senator Borah, for
instance, when first apprised of the
verdict, said: Il feel glad for Hay
woods mother"
Verdict Was Expected.
The probability of a verdict of ac
quittal in the case of the secretary
treasurer and acknowledged leader OF
the Western Federation of Miners
had been freely predicted since Satur
day, when Judge Fremont Wood read
his charge, which was regarded as
strongly favoring the defense in it's in
depreciation of the laws of conspiracy
circumstantial evidence and the cor
roboration of an accomplice who con
fesses.
1t was also freely predicted that il
the event Of Haywoods acquittal the
state would abandon the prosecution
of his associates, Charles H. Meyer
