suing their course aud that the doors
TO the store of r. ]. Hurd who made
the complaint were perfectly free to
access.
1t was amusing and did the hearts
of the socialists good to listen to the
prosecuting attorney go after the So
cialists, asking them how long they
had been socialists aud why they were
socialists. Every chance the social
lists got when they were Oh the witness
stand they used it for propaganda
purposes, and the prosecuting attorney
soon took tumble AMI asked no more
questions about socialism except if the
witness was a socialist
The attorneys for the socialists put
a local judge and the county attorney
on the witness stand who testified that
one Rice by name who had testified
aginst Comrade Hazlett on behalf of
the police of Spokane, was an un-
worthy character and could not be
believed under oath.
Another witness for the police, a
clerk in the store of r. J. Hurd, was
impeached and il was shown that he
was in the court testifying against the
socialists in the interest Of his master
and that his testimony at the previous
trial of Comrade Hazlett was entirely
different from the evidence he gave
at the second trial.
Comrade Hazlett went on the stand
and testified on her own behalf and
stated that she had finished her lee
ture when the policeman same to her
asking her TO clear the sidewalk.
Comrade Hazlett did everything the
policeman requested, bur when the
crowd cheered her, this was too much
for the police officer and he lost his
temper, jerked her of the box she was
speaking on and placed her under ar
rest.
On eross-examination Comrade Haz.
lett was asked if the crowd was un'
ruly, she answered that the crowd was
an orderly one as long as il was her
crowd, but when she was arrested IL
was no longer her crowd but the po'
liceman's and that he could not handle
it. II seems that Policeman Lister
who did the arresting, was an over

STATE FAILS TO CONVICT

Rathdrum Ida, Nov. "a.
The jury in the Steve Adams case
disagreed tonight at 5:45 sfter being
out 81 hours. The case was given to
the jury last night at $50. The re-
suit was for acquittal and for con-
viction. Gorwood, House Dittemore
and Varnim were the men that hung
out for conviction. Varnum leading the
fight against Adams
Papers were on hand to rearrest
Adams in case Of an ac9uittal and
take him in one case to Telluride, Col,
to be tied for the murder Of Arthur
Collin, and in the other to Wallace
to be tried for the murder Of Boulier,
notorious claim jumper and land
stealer.
Adams was indicted last week
in Telluride for killing Arthur Collins,
the superintendent of the Smugger
Union mine, who was shot through
window.
II is said tonight, however, that
Adams is to be retired on the Tyler
charge, and will be held here at Rath-
drum till the next tenn Of court.
The intention is evidently to pur-
sue Adams to the utmost, TO break
down his constitution an will if pos.
sible, and use him as a means to
break down the Federation. The pol
icy of the capitalist prosecution is to
exhaust the treasures of the unions
through continuous attacks by the
courts.
'Pettibone's trial at Boise has been
postponed till Friday, Nov. 20.

Boise, where the P.ttibone case is set

fastness of the entire Western Fedora
tion has been remarkable throughout
the trying circumstances of the last
few years, the attitude Of Meyer ex-
cites especial comment as the heavy
hand of persecution has fallen so con-
tinuously on him in the terrible
struggle into which the capitalists
have forced the miners. He has al
ways been on the forefront of the
battle, he has never shirked OF tried
to dodge an issue, he has stood by the
men when on strike and urged them to
continue the strike till the issue was
won. Although no evidence of crime
has ever been brought against him, a
cell has been his home for years. Af.

nearly ruined his health and under
mined his life, when released on a
$25, 900 bond after the acquittal of
Haywood, instead Of going where he
could rest and have a respite from

Special to the Montana News.


Rathdrum, Ida, Nov. 10.
The prosecution in the Steve Adams
case asserted in its opening statement
that its chief reliance for conviction
was the confession Of Adams. The
confession was introduced with Nc
Parlan on the stand. On eross-exam-
ination Mr., Darrow questioned this
old Pinkerton fox closely in regard TO
his entire life; to which Mr.. Hawley
shenuoussy objected. He said the
purpose Of bringing out McParlan s
connection with the Pinkerton agency
and his breaking up of the Mollie Ma
guires was for the sake of prejudieing
the jury. The judge, however, allow
ed the questioning.
The testimony of McParlan was a
disgrace in its bitter and outrageous
attacks on organized labor.
In speaking Of the unions Of the
coal miners in Pennsylvania, which he
disrupted thirty years ago, he denied
that the Ancient Order of Hibernians
was a union or that he knew anything
about it. But he said that the organ
ization that he broke up was the
Mollie Maguires, a criminal organiza-
tion. Darrow arraigned him fercely
when he said it was not a chartered
organization, and this led to the
fercest controversy of the trial. Haw-
ley became furious, objecred to the
questioning, and said that Darrow
couldn't bulldoze him if he could wit
nesses. Darrow wanted to know if he
was to understand by that his life
was in danger. There were loud words
on both sides and a heated quarrel,
SO that the court was compelled to in
terfere, whereupon both attorneys
apologized to the court and to each
other.
Tells Of His Duplicity.
McParlan then went on to say that
the Mollie Maguires were a secret,
criminal organization of which only
a few were coal miners. Throughout
his treaeherous career among these
men he was known as James McKenna,
and took the obligation of the organ
ization under that name. Darrow
asked him il he was known as "Mc-
Kenna, the Tough" and McParlan ad-
mitted that he was called that. He
committed the greatest crimes in or.
der that he might throw them on
others and break up the union organi,
tions.
Darrow got out of this crafty old
serpent the damnable, snake-like way
in which he worked upon Adams to
terrify him and induce him to sign a
confession. Old McParlan said he did
all this for Steve's benefit, that he
pitied him then and he pitied him now.
Darrow calculated, "You act the
part"
McParlan went on to say with great
emphasis that he told Steve that he

After a hard fought battle lasting
two days in the superior court Of Spo-
kane before Judge Sullivan, brilliant
victory for Free Speech on the streets
of Spokane was won.
The test was made in the case of Ida
Crouch Hazlett, editor of the Montana
News, who was arrested by an offiic-
ious policeman while speaking on the
corner of Stevens and Riverside Ave
on the night of September 9TH of this
year and tried before a police Judge
and fined So and $1l cost for blocking
the streets. The case was appealed
by Comrade Hazlett to the superior
court of Spokane.
The second trial took place on Sat
urday, the tenth, at 10 A. NJ. and
lasted until Monday afternoon at 4
p. NJ. when the jury refined to reach
verdict.
Comrade Hazlett sat in the court
room beside her attorneys, Kirby and
Pence, and took an active part in car
rying on her defense
Every prospective juror was closely
examined as to his politics and his
views on socialism, and If he showed
any sympathy with the socialists OF

was promptly excused from service on
the jury that was TO decide the right
of free speech on the streets of Spo-
kane.
The jury was composed of eight re.
publicans and four democrats.
The prosecution put seven witnesses
on the stand and attempted to prove
| that the streets were i'm "a ssable and
that the store of r. j. Hard could not

WITNESSES FOR DEFENSE HEARD

Tyler, the claim jumpers, was not true,
and that he had answered the ques-
tions in his confession from what he
had been told to say. He repudiated
the entire confession, and said in re-
gard to the sentence, "I hope the
reign of terror inaugurated by Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone will cease"
with which the document closes, thar
he never said it, had never used the
the word inaugurated in his life, and
did not know the meaning of it.
Better Treatment.
He said that after he had aceeeded
to the wishes of these villains he was
treated better. He was put in better
quarters in the hospital building and
Orchard was put in the room with him.
His wife was sent for and he had
good accommodations and Orchard ate
his meals with them. MsParlan told
her that he and Orchard hal to stick
together, and 60 through with these
confessions in order to save their lives.
The horde around him refused to LET
him any conversation with his law
yers.
After his reputation Of the "con-
fession" be was taken to Wallace in
September, tried for killing Fred Tyler
in February, and brought TO Rathdrum
on a change of venue this September.
McParlan saw him when he came to
Wallace and told him he got Mason
and Glover to swear against him.
Severe Cross Examination.
The cross. examination began Tues
day afternoon. Steve showed no ner-
vousnes or trepidation whatever. He
stepped down from the stand and
poured out a glass Of water with .
steady hand. There is nothing of the
mien of the murderer about him. He
stood the cross-examination well and
was not tangled on important ques-
tions. He told of his work in the mines
of Colorado, at Cripple Creek, in the
San Juan country, at Silverton and
Telluride. He told also of his various
journeyings and how he got broke at
Ogden and wired Haywood for SIS.
Much has been made of This fact Of
borrowing money by the prosecution.
Again and again Hawley tried to
entangle him with the Colorado aceu-
sations against the Western Fedora
tiOn.
Fleeing from Mob.
He was in Colorado during the
troublous times of martial law and up
to June 6, 1904. Then when the
broadcloth mob was mad in its thirst
for the blood of union men and he
heard they were after him with guns
and ropes, accusing him of blowing
up the Independence depot, and his
name was published broadcast in the
papers, the speakers of the mob call
ing him by name, he left the district
