EARLY TRIAL
FOR HAYWOOD
Fears Roosevelt Letter Will
Have UnfavOrabIe Effect
On Minds Of Jury
BY Our Own Wire. PablIshers' Press.

BY Our Own Wire. Publishers Press.
BOISE, Ida. April 1O.-Prospect Of
early trial has had a cheering effect
upon Meyer Haywood and Pettibone'
held in Jail charged with having con-
spired to secure the assassination Of
former Governor Steunenberg. Only
Haywood is to be tried. Attorneys for
the prosecution have said that they Will
stand or fall by the Haywood case.
The prisoners have had the comforts
that could be provided for them, and on
pleasant days have been permitted to
exercise on the big lawn beside the
Jail.
Haywood and his companions are
confident Of the outcome of any fair
trial. Haywood refrained from max
ing any statement until the letter OF
President Roosevelt condemning Har-
riman appeared. It contained a state
ment that Hartman and his kind were
Citizens as undesirable as Debs
Meyer and Haywood" The latter fears
that it will have an unfavorable and
unfair effect uDcn the minds Of men
who will be called to act as jurymen
Haywood says that because OF the
Presidents great influence that letter
will do more to prevent a fair trial
than all that has been done by his enc
mies.
