THE HAYWOOD TRIAL.
Lawyer Darrow Outlines to the Jury
the Plans of the Defense.

Boise, Idaho. - In an address
that occupied two sessions of
the district court Monday Clarence
Darrow, of Chicago, outlined to the
jury the defense of William d. Hay
wood TO the charge that he murdered
eX-Gov. Steunenberg. In broad de-
scription it is to be a denial of every
material count in the testimony of
Orchard. with a showing that Orchard
killed Steunenberg because of
private grudge borne by the loss of a
rich share in the Hercules mine, and
explanations of the Independent cir
cumstances that tend to connect the
co-defendants with Orchards life.
Darrow denied the existence of the
great conspiracy to murder alleged
by the state with Orchards testimony
as basis denied that the federation
was anything but an earnest fighting
labor organization with higher wages,
shorter hours, tolerable working con-
ditions and the care, safety and edu-
cation of its members, and their wives
and children as its only motives; de-
MED the intimacy with the three CO.
defendants that Orchard laid claim
to; denied the several conferences
ana conversations that orchard SWore
to; denied that Orchard had commit.
ted many of the crimes he had
boasted of; and promised to make
proof of his contentious with many of
the men named by Orchard when on
the stand and many witnesses of
creditable character not connected
with the federation or its leaders.
Darrow charged that agents of the
Mine Owners association, of Colo
RADIO, and Pinkerton detectives had
Joined hands IN a conspiracy to dis
credit the federation and he promised
that the defense would show that it
was reasonable inference that they
had engineered the Independence
depot outrage as an attempt" that
had miscarried into tragedy He as
serted that this trial was the culmina-
tion of the conspiracy to kill the or
ganization by killing the leaders; that
the organization and not Bill" Hay
wood was on trial, and that Harry Or
chard, under the manipulation of De-
tective MCFARLAND, was trying to kill
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone that
he might save mis- own life.

SIX MEN KILLED.
A Passenger Train Crashes Into
Work Train at Hartford, Conn.,
The Injured Number 40.

Hartford. Conn. - Six workmen
were killed and 40 injured
when a passenger lrain on the New
York, New Haven e Hartford railroad
crashed into the rear of work train
that was backing into the city from
New Britain last night at the Sigour-
ney street crossing.
OF the injured two will probably
die. Some of the victims within easy
reach were dead, but were left while
the rescuers tried to extricate the liv-
ing.
In one instance it took an hour and
a half to rescue one workman who
was pinned between the trucks. His
head was hanging down backwards
and he suffered severely, but the res
cuers encouraged him while doctors
reached between the framework
which held him prisoner and treated
the yaunds on his face and head.
There are three versions of the
cause of the wreck
The engineer of the work train
claims that he had the right of way
and his statements are borne out by
others on this train. Engineer Will
son, of the passenger train, jumped in
time to escape injury The passen-
gers, however, were badly shaken ZIP
and some were cut by flying glass. An
express train passed on an adjoining
track soon after the accident and side
swiped the wreckage.

THE HAYWOOD TRIAL.

When the state closed it's case
against William D. Haywood, charged
with the murder of Frank Steunen-
berg, the defense made an unsuccess-
full attempt to secure from the court
an order directing the jury to acquit
the prisoner. Judge Woods ruling
requires the defense to meet with evil
dence the case that the state has pre-
sented.
The state in the Haywood rial
again showed direct connec IN be-
tween Pettibone's store and Orchard
when he was at work on the Bradley
crime, and read to the jury denunci-
atory articles on Steunenberg from
the Miners Magazine.
The state in the trial at Boise,
Idaho, made dramatic production and
proof of the Goddard bomb, and be-
sides offering further contributions of
the testimony of Harry Orchard
against William d. Haywood secured
a ruling under which a number of the
denunciatory articles published in the
Miners Magazine, official organ of the
Western Federation of Miners, will be
admitted in evidence.
The prosecution in the Steunen-
berg murder trial offered one of the
most important pieces of evidence
against William d. Haywood when, re-
calling Harry Orchard for redirect
examination, it introduced and Sc
cured the admission of four letters
tending to show that Haywood, during
the fall of 1905, when Orchard swears
he was engaged on various crimes for
the federation leaders, had partici-
pated in plan to deceive Mrs. Or
chard the second, of Cripple Creek,
as to the whereabouts of her hus-
band

StrangIed a Boy Whom
They Had Stolen.
BURIEDINASWAMP
Near New Orleans the HeadlesS Body
of Lad Who Had Been Held
for Ransom was Found.

New Orleans, La.-Two miles in
the interior of big swamp near
this city the headless body of Walter
Lamana, an Italian child between Z
and s years old, who was kidnapped
and held for $4,000 ransom two weeks
ago, was found by police and vigil
lantes just before daybreak Sunday.
He had been strangled to death, ac-
cording to the confession of one of
several Italians held by the police.
The boys neck is supposed to have
been broken when he was strangled
causing the head to become separated
from the body when decomposition set
in. The head was found short dis
tance from the body.
Five Italians, two of them women,
under arrest are charged with being
accomplices to the murder and extra
details of police and deputies are
maintaining order in the excited
Italian quarter of the city.
Seventy armed deputies have been
placed on guard at the Orleans parish
prison, the strongest in the state,
where three of the prisoners are held
and some apprehension has been felt
over the safety of two other prisoners
who were taken to an adjoining par
ish. Seldom since the Malta lynch
ings 16 years ago has New Orleans
been so stirred with threats of vio-
lence as now, and some of these
threats are madesby those who par
ticipated in the disorders at the time.
The murdered boy was found near
st. Rose, about 20 miles from New
Orleans. A sweating process wrung
confession from one of the Italian sus-
poets who was taken from his home
in st. Rose about midnight and car
ried into the woods by a force of Off
cials and vigilantes who had the
search in charge. This man, Ignazio
Campigciano,. was kept in the woods
an hour when he confessed, charging
four Italians with the murder.
He said that ABOUT the time of
mass meeting in New Orleans more
than a week ago, held for the pur-
pose of prosecuting a search for the
body, these men who were in house
in st. Rose became frightened and
consulted about what to do with the
child. The boy was crying, begging
to be taken home to his parents, said
Campigciano and one of the quartette
of kidnappers grabbed the child and
strangled him to death to stop his
noise. Later two of the kidnappers,
he said, came to him carrying the
body in a blanket and after threaten
ing him with death if he told, took
the body into a swamp.

All a Matter of Doubt, Anyway.

A young man from the south who.
a few years ago, was so fortunate asa
to be enabled to enter the law Offices
of well-known New York firm, was;
first intrusted with very simple
case. He was asked by the late
James c. Carter. then member of
the firm, to give an opinion in writ
ing. When this was submitted. it was
observed by Mr.. Carter that, with the,
touching confidence of neophyte,
the young southerner had begun with,
the expression: Il am clearly of
opinion"
When this caught his eye, he
smiled, and said:
MY dear young friend never state
that you are clearly of opinion on a.
law point. The most you can hope
to discover is the preponderance of
the doubt.
