United States, treating Of appeals 70
the United States supreme court from
United States circuis courts in hab-
cas- corpus Gases where a prisoner is
held by state courts, makes null and
void any action Of the state court
pending an appeal. The great MAORI.
t. Of courts of last resort hold any
action upon the part Of the trial court
absolutely void until the decision Of
the supreme court of the United States
has been actually rendered.
1T will be seen, therefore, that if
in May, 1905, we had proceeded to
trial in the trial court Of this state be-
fore the decision Of the supreme court
had been rendered the defendants
would have been discharged, az they
could not a second time be put in
jeopardy Of their lives.
''Senator Borah and myself, acting
for the state, shortly before the con-
vening Of the district court Of Canyon
county, in May, 1906, called the at
tention Of the defendants attorneys
to this provision Of the United States
statutes and stated in letter to them
on the subject that we were ready and
anxious for an immediate trial. and
il they also were ready they should
arrange matters so that we could pro-
coed to trial without harm being
worked to the defendants.
''On the cause Of the delay Clar-
ence Darrow, Of counsel for the de-
fence, has this to say: 1.-THE defen-
dants have not only been ready for
trial but have insisted on trial all the
time since the indictments were re-
turned. IA months ago. Every mo
ton for continuance has been made by
the state and resisted by US. After
the men were brought TO Idaho, writs
OF habeas corpus we're asked in the
state court and the federal courts to
cover any question Of jurlsdiction
that might arise. Both Of these cases
were appealed to the supreme court
of the United States and the cases adj
vanced for q hearing as soon as We
could get it.
''The United States statutes pro-
vide that where an appeal is pending
to the supreme court OF the United
States no Judgment or execution can
be carried out pending that applied
to this case, this statute means that
if the defendants had been convicted

wood on the charge Of the murder Of
Frank Steunenberg, former govern
or of Idaho. Every incoming train
brings additions to the large number
OF people connected with the case
Vho are already on the ground.
That there might be some delay has
been intimated from time to time,
but the fear Of this has now been dis.
sipated by statements emanatinR
from both sides. Clarence Darrow
Of Chicago and e. r. Richardson Of
Denver, jointly leading counsel for
the defense Ut Haywood, have both
stated that they are ready for trial.
Counsel for the prosecution, James Il.
Hawley and Senator W. e. Borah,
who have been engaged specially, are
Of the opinion that there will be no
further delay. An application for =
bill of particulars fled by the defense
will be argued tomorrow morning be-
fore Judge Fremont Wood, who will
try the Haywood case. but a. his de.
cision is not appealable it is rot
thought that this will cause any post
pOnement.
The history Of the cases Of the men
charged with the murder Of Steunen-
berg shows much delay, all Of which
necessarily has been expensive, both
to the state OF Idaho and to the de-
iendAnts. The state has already paid
bills to the amount Of $50, 600 and at
the last session Of the legislature Of
Idaho an appropriation Of s5V, 600
additional was unanimously passed,
ell parties Concurring.
The defense fund raised by union
labOrers throughout the country and
a. an emergency fund by the miners
federation is reported to be very large
and the total cost of carrying on this
case from first to last will be enorm-
Ous.
James II. Hawley, the leading
counsel for the prosecution, was asked
today to explain the reasons for the
delay In the trial of Haywood, Meyer
and Pettibone. Much comment has
been caused throughout the country
BY this delay. It has been charged
that the state has willfully caused the
delay and that the prisoners have been
kept in confinement without trial for
an unwarranted period. Mr.. Hawiey
