 Evidence has been introduced in SUD- port of the charge brought by the state of Idaho that a conspiracy existed among high officers of the Western Federation of Miners to intimidate all persons who ran counter to the pur- poses of the union with view to es- tablishing members of organized bod. les of workingmen as masters of the situation, thus commencing political and industrial reorganization which, having its initiative in the west, should spread with irresistible force through out every section of the country. Evi- dence has been introduced to show that in pursuance of this conspiracy eighteen men were murdered.
 In defense of the man immediately concerned and of the officers of the Western Federation of Miners who are charged with participating in the plans for murder as means to the desired ends evidence has been introduced to show that counter conspiracy existed among employers of labor in the west looking to the annihilation of the West ern Federation of Miners in particu- lar because the federation represented the cause of organized labor. Evidence has been introduced to show that in furtherance of the conspiracy among actual employers and capitalists eight. cen innocent men. were killed, the con- stitution of the Snited States was vio- lated and the conspiracy eliminated in the state of Idaho becoming party to an attempt to compass the death of the leaders of the Western Federation of Miners, whose secretary is now on trial.
 The state of Idaho has produced Har- ry Orchard, who swehrs that he is the actual murderer of the eighteen men whose deaths are not disputed. He swears that he was employed by Will liam D. Haywood, secretary; Charles H. Mover, president, and others of the Western Federation of Miners to mur. der for the price, and the Western Fed eration of Miners has produced wit nesses to contradict the testimony of the self confessed murderer.
