 Posting of Notices.
 Senator Borah asked Haywood about the hosting of certain notices in the Cripple Creek district in 1901. One of these read:
 Here take notice that on and after September l5. 1901. anyone working in the mines. mills and power plants of the Cripple Creek Company who is unable to produce . card of member ship in the Western Federation of to himself and to the community at large and will be treated as such."
 Haywood said in explanation of this that there was a movement on foot trict. A ceond notice called the wit trict. A second notice caleld the at tention of the miners to the fact that the fifteenth of September was near at
 
 about expired and that all who were not for the union must be against 1t. There could be no middle ground.
 .So," said Senator Borah the West ern Federation of Miners had a per init system of its own and no one could work where it was in control unless he had a union card"
 No. sir. a man could go to work anywhere without a card. but we ex- tn wanted any of the benefits which ac- crues from membership in it." Haywood was questioned closely as to his appearance before the commit tee of the State Senate in Denver to argue on the eight-hour law. Hay wood said he spoke his mind very free ly to the representative of the capi- talistic class who were present, in- cluuding Frank J. Hearne of the Colo rado Fuel and Iron Company and ex- Governor Grant.
 Tears In Governors Eyes. r 'T compared the palace in whScn Governor Grant lived to the huts of some of the smelter men. and did 1t | so vividly that tears rolled down Gov | ernor Grants cheeks. and he said he | was going to leave the State. l told l the men present that 1t was such in- 1 fuences as they represented that corr | rupted Legislatures and courts" And you referred to the court of which Judges Gabbert nd Goddard were members?..
 | T referred to the Supreme Court" And you regarded Judges Gabbert and Goddard as representatives of the corrupt corporation innuences?' l "I would not like to say that per. sonally."
 | Senator Borah complained at ono l point in the examination that the wit ness was endeavoring to evade di- | rect answer.
 Haywood disclaimed this. and de- clared that he was ready to answer any and all questions to the best of his ability.
 After recess Senator Borah ques- tioned Haywood as to his various meetings with Orchard. The witness said he knew absolutely nothing about Orchards whereabouts from the time of the Independence depot explosion, June 6, 1904, until he came to head quarters in Denver, in January. 1905.
 Haywood could not recall ever hav- ing met Orchard in company with Mrs Lottie Day at the Belmont room- ing house in Denver. and declared pos ltiyely that he did not, at this time or any time. enter Harry Orchards $
 room Mrs. Day. witness for the defense. told on cross examination of
 the incident which Haywood denied
 today.
 within a few days of the Independ- ence depot explosion, Haywood said the papers began to connect Harry Or chard's name with the affair. They commented upon the fact that he had left Cripple Creek and gone to Wyom- ing.
 .'rhe paper seemed to know where he had gone" said the witness
 Did you?" asked Senator Borah.
 No sir"
 Did you ever meet Mrs Harry or chard?"
 yes sir. it must have been at head quarters
 T cannot say"
 'In your letter to Mrs. Orchard yo, said that the last information you go' as to Orchards whereabouts was from Alaskan"
 And the only information you hat was his statement that he thought O going to Alaska?"
 , Yes sir"
 And your reason for saying wha you did was because you did not wan
 to convey to her the real facts Una were in your possession?' Yes sir. I think that was it.
 Didn't Talk of SteunenberE.
 Did you talk to Harry Orchard Ii z any way about Governor Steunenberg? .I don't think I ever did" Did you ever hear Orchard make an! threats against Governor Steunenberg? T don't think I ever did" You had no Knowledge of any per } sonal enmity Orchard may have had to l wards Governor Steunenberg?
 No sir"
 Before employing an attorney to de fend Orchard, Haywood said the or 5 ganization did nothing to discover wha r Orchard had been doing prior to tn murder of Governor SteunenberS
 Neither was there any investigation t' T determine the mans guilt or inno cence The Federation officials wen over transcript of the evidence of tn : preliminary hearing before finally en
 gazing Attorney Fred Miller and pay ing him $500. Orchard made no re r quest to be furnished an attorney.
