Boise, Idaho, July 29.-Into the
bright sunlight of beautiful Sabbath
morning William D. Haywood, de-
PENDANT in one of the most noted
trials involving conspiracy and muir
der that the country has ever known,
walked Sunday free man, acquitted
of the murder of the former Gov.
Frank Steunenberg.
The probability OF a verdict of &C
quittal in the case of the secretary
treasurer and acknowledged leader of
the Western Federation of Miners had
been freely predicted since Saturday,
when Judge Fremont Wood read his
charge, which was regarded as strong
ly favoring the defense in its interpre-

tation of the laws of conspiracy, cir
cumstantial evidence and the corrobo-
ration of an accomplice who confesses.
It was also freely predicted that in
the event of Haywoods acquittal the
state would abandon the prosecution
of his associates, Charles H. Meyer,
the president of the federation, and
George A. Pettibone, of Denver
Statements from counsel and from
Gov. Cooling issued Sunday dispel
this view of the situation.
Others VIII Be Tried.
Gov. Gooding said:
THE verdict is a great surprise to
me, and believe to all citizens of
Idaho who have heard or read the
evidence in the case.
81 have done my duty. have no
regret as to any action have taken,
and my conscience is clear. AS long
as God gives me strength l shall con-
tinue my efforts for government by
law and for organized society.
THE state will continue vigorous
prosecution of Meyer and Pettibone
and Adams and of Simpkins when ap-
pretended. There will be neither hes
itation nor retreat"
1t was after being out for 81 hours
that the jury, which at first had been
divided eight to four and then seemed
deadlocked at ten to two, finally came
to an agreement shortly after the
first faint streaks of the coming day

bGlitf who had kept an all night vigil
before the door of the juryroom, was
startled into action by an imperative
knock from within. Events moved
rapidly enough after this, and when at
last the principal actors in the trial
had been gathered into the courtroom

Tears welled to TIC e5s5 of the man
who during the so days of his trial
had sat with stolid Indifference writ
ten upon his every feature-at last
the icy armor he had thrown about
himself with the first day of jury Sc
lection had been pierced, and what
ever of pentup feeling had been con-
tanned within was loosed. Haywood's
i attorneys were fairly lifted from their
seats, and Judge Wood made no eff
(! fort to restrain them as they sur
/ rounded their client to shake his
hands and shout aloud their congratu-
lations. James H. Hawley, leading
counsel for the state, and o. N. Van
duyn, the prosecuting attorney of the
county in which Steunenberg was as
sassinated, sat gloomy and unspeak
ing in their places.
| Hastens to His Mother.
Haywood's first thought was of his
aged mother, who Saturday had suf-
fered nervous breakdown after the
| jury had retired. Leaving the court
room in company with Attorney MI
gent. he walked down to the Jail por-
ton of the building. shaking hands as
he went with guards. employees and

/ left off when | was placed under ar
rest.
81 do appreciate the kindness and
consideration with which my family
has been treated by the people Of
Boise.
LAS to the outcome of the trial, I
have never had any fear, and would
have expressed Saturday the same be-
lief expressed when first arrested,
that is, with a fair trial and an impair
tial jury the verdict would be such
as has been given to the country.
Senator Borah treated me most
fairly, and appreciate it.
Judge Wood was eminently fair
to me, and have extended to him my
thanks for his treatment of me during
the ordeal of this trlar.
Il do not in any way blame Gov
Gooding for the position he took"

work on the subject that had been
published in any country at that

dairy department at Iowa college,
organized the dairymen Of this state
and adjoining states and headed a
delegation to Washington to protest
against the enforcement of the new
standard for butter in the pure food
bill
After listening to the arguments
presented by the delegation, both Sec
rotary Wilson and DR.. Wiley promised
not to enforce the standard Of 50 ~
per cent. The adoption Of such a
standard would have meant a loss to
the Iowa farmers Of over 100000 an
nually. The make Of butter in Iowa
is about 16o,0o0,ooo pounds annually
and this would have meant loss Of
about IL pounds in the hundred.
