president of the Western Federation of
Miners and co-defendant with William D.
Haywood, who yesterday was acquitted
of the murder of former Gov. Steunen-
berg, will be admitted to bail in the sum
of S25, 900 and released this afternoon.
An agreement to this end was reached
this morning between counsel for the
state and defense, but the making Of the
formal application and entry was post
poned from 10 a.m.-the hour at which
the court convened today-untn pm.
The delay was asked for to allow further
conferences between counsel as to what
action shall be taken in the case Of
George A. Pettibone, the third of the
noted defendants brought from Colorado
| to Idaho eighteen months ago.
1t is understood that the attorneys for
| the state will oppose bail for Fettibone
| in any sum whatever. Judge Wood an
nounced that he would not adjourn court
| for the term until tomorrow night, and
any order agreed upon by the attorneys
| might be entered up to that time.
The big courtroom today presented a
far different picture from the closing
days of the Haywood trial The jury box
and all the spectators benches We're
empty, and only a handful of attorneys
sat within the rail.
None of the defendants was in court.
All Boise still discusses the verdict and
apparently the people are taking bur lit
tie interest as to the future course of the
prosecution.
Application for bail for Charles H. Meyer
the imprisoned president of the Western
bone, his cordefendant, the charge of
the murder of former Gov. Steunenberg.
came before Judge Fremont Wood in the
district court of Ada county this morning
The charge Is the same as that under
consideration before the jury in the same
courtroom for the last eleven weeks. Only
The characters are different. William D..
Haywood, the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of the
federation, having beer discharged from
custody yesterday. 1t is expected that the
bail for Pettibone will be refused In both
cases the state will resist the granting of
bail.
The defense will argue that the two re-
manning. defendants row in custody hav ng
been arrested under the same indictment
| as Haywood and the charge against Hay
wood being that he was part of the con-
spracy and not actually the murderer in
| a physical sense of Steunenberg, the clear
ing of Haywood clears the two men
charged with being co-conspirators with
| Haywood. The state will resist TIE
! ground that while the jury acquitted Hay
wood this was the result of failure in the
eyes of the jury to bring sufficient evidence
TO INK up the cOHueCtlOH OF tne men
| charged with conspiracy to commit the
| crime with the crime itself and the man
| Orchard, who is the confessed slayer OF
| Steunenberg. but that at the next trial
| the purpose of the state is to show
| that Pettibone was a pant of the conspirac y
| and that the evidence available against
Haywood would be used against Pettibone,
| with the necessary filling in to enable the
| jury to convict.
Surprised the Defense.
| The decision of the state to continue the
prosecution of the men under arrest and
| the statement that Jack Simpkins the
| fugitive from justice indicted with them,
| is almost within the reach of the law and
may be arrested at any time came as a sur
prise to counsel for the defense. who con-
| hdenty expected that Meyer and Pettibone
would be released. Haywood spent last
night quietly at the house in Boise where
his family has been living since the trial
commenced. 1t was happy gathering
and the released man received congratula-
tons from his friends in a steady stream.
The kilograms continue to pour in from
nearly every town in the Union.
Haywood will remain here some days be-
fore going to Denver to take up his work.
John Murphy, the general counsel for the
Western Federation of Miners. who is dying
| of consumption here, is great friend of
| Haywood, and arrangements are now being
made TO take him back to Denver, If pos
sible. before his death. Haywood will prob
ably accompany him.
| Boise has accepted the verdict quietly
and in the same spirit that has been in
| evidence since the rial commenced. Gov.
| Goodlng takes the position that the state
| having announced a determinat ton TO leave
| the decision with judge and jury in the
| Haywood will maintain the same
| position with regard TO Meyer and Petit
| bone.
