HAYWOOD ACQUITTED.
Verdict Returned Early Sun
day Morning.

William D. Haywood. secretary
treasurer of the Western Federation
of Miners, was acquitted by the jury
on the charge of being accessory to
the murder of Former Governor
Steunenberg.
The jury was out q hours. The
first ballot resulted in eight for ac-
quittal and for conviction. Later
two more joined the majority and
then dead locked until morning when
an agreement was reached. In ex-
planning the verdict the jurymen for
the most part said that under the
instructions Of Judge Wood they felt
there was nothing else to do. That
may be putting it too strongly, but
there is no question but the instruc-
lions were very favorable to the de-
Tense.
AS soon. as the verdict was read
Haywood jumped to his feet and the
stoicism which has marked his man
ner throughout the nearly three
months trial vanished and tears ran
down his cheeks, while he grasped
the hands of his attorneys, each of
the jurymen and such of his friends
as had dropped in.
When Orchard was told of the
verdict he said: "Well, have done
my duty. | have told the truth. /
could do no more. | am ready to
take any punishment that may be
melted out to me for my crime and
the sooner it comes the BETTER
Governor Gooding gave out a
statement regarding the Haywood |
verdict in which he said:
THE verdict is a great surprise TO
me, and | believe to all the citizens
of Idaho who have heard or read the
evidence in the case. | have done /
my duty. | have no regret as to any |
action | have taken and my con-
science is clear. AS long as God gives
me strength | shall continue my
efforts for the government by law
and for organized society. The
state will continue a vigorous prose
cution of Meyer and Pettibone and
and of Simpkins when APP
pretended. There will be neither
hesitation nor retreat"

THE PITCHER.

All other heroes must retire,
The pitcher doth appear
And frenZied fans who see him come
Yield up lusty cheer
He's 10 the fore. way up in front
And i'm the public eye,
A man of great renown, forsooth,
Whose fame will never die.
His mighty arm is much admired,
His rare delivery
Doth fill the hearts of all who watch
With bonndless ecstasy.
His record is an open book,
Each fan knows what he's done.
The batters struck out at the plate,
The hard-fought games he's won.
The small boy worships him afar.
His names on every tongue.
In al resorts around the town
You'll hear his praises sung.
Alas. how few of MS are called
BY mortal destiny
To stand above the crowd and wear
The crown of victory!
