Boise, July 12.--Dominick Flynn,
one of the defenses witnesses In the
Haywood murder trial was recalled
by the State when the case opened
this morning Flynn was asked as
to conversation he had with Daniel
Caney at Mullen, Idaho in 1899. The
questions were evidently for the pur-
pose Of impeachment.
After Flynn left the stand Haywood
was recalled and his direct examina-
tion continued. Haywood said that
Orchard had been at his house three
or four times. Most of the members
Of the Union called there when they
were in Denver he declared. He de-
MED that he had anything to do with
the purchase OF horse and buggy
for Orchard to go on killing expedi-
tions with He said one day Orchard
came to headquarters in buggy with
a colored man and said that Pettibone
wanted to know If he could trade the
rig for a gray mare which the fedora
tion owned, one of nineteen horses
which had been used in distributing
relief in the Cripple Creek district
Pettibone was anxious to get the mare
for one of his delivery wagons.
Never Planned Crimes With Orchard
The witness denied positively that
he ever talked with Orchard or plan
ned with him the killing of Sherman
Bell, Governor Peabody, James
Hearne, David Moffatt or Judges God
dard or Gabbert. He declared Or
chards story on the witness stand
was the first he had ever heard OF the
matter
Haywood said he first met Steve
Adams in 1902 He said the SIS he
sent to Adams at Ogden was his own
(Haywood's) money. Adams had been
out prospecting and had stated on
leaving Denver that If he struck any
thing he would locate Haywood on it.
As to the letter he wrote Orchards
wife he said his note was in
reply to one from Mrs. Orchard
inquiring as to her husbands
whereabouts. He said he told
her all he knew about Orchard.
He had no way of knowing where
Orchard was except as the latter had
told him his plans for going to Alaska.
Haywood did not care to tell Mrs.
Orchard what her husband said about
not returning to her.
Knew Nothing Of Plot Against Steun-
nenburg.
Haywood declared he knew absO-
lutely nothing of the plot against Gov
ernor Steunenberg. The first Hay
wood heard of the assassination was
In the papers which claimed the crime
was the elimination of troubles in the
Occur d Alenes The papers also re-
ported a Union card had been found
in the effects of Thomas Hogan, who
had been arrested on suspicion. At
the miners headquarters there was
considerable question as to who
Hogan was, the consensus of opinion
being that he was Orchard who had
used this name in leaving Cripple
Creek to seek employment elsewhere.
HayWood's explanation of sending
Simpkins a $100 draft December 81,
1888, was as follows: "Simpkins
came to Denver early in December to
attend a meeting of the executive
board. He drew $23150, per diem and
travelling expenses while there. Cash
ing check for this he gave Haywood
$100 and asked him to forward it to
Spokane some time before Christmas.

did not want to take SO much money
with him.

was in Denver at the time. The case
never came to trial. This ended the
direct examination and Senator Bor-
all began the cross-examination Of
Haywood at once.
Borah examined Haywood regard
ing the attitude of the Western Fed
Grafton OF Miners towards ex-Govern-
or Steunenberg. The witness admit
ted the federation had come to think
OF Steunenberg as a pronounced OPP
ponent Of organized labor, although
at one time he was an honorary
member OF local union Haywood
was asked If the Miners Magazine re-
fiected his views as well as the organi-
zation and he replied some times"
