BOISE, July 12.-When William d. Hay
wood left the witness stand late this after
noon his counsel announced that they
we're ready TO close their direct case, with
the exception of a single witness, who would
testify to the effect of dynamite explosions.
There are some souls so hardened that
they are not averse TO testing even upon
the subject OF a murder trial. One OF these
asked one of Haywood lawyers after court
adjourned who was to be the last witness.
Its an expert on the subject of dyna-
mite was the reply.
why" said the callous inquirer. you've
had about forty or fifty Of thsm on the
stand already
This one.' said the lawyer severely.
will be an expert on the effect Of dynamite
on buildings"
The prediction made in The U that the
defence would be- largely one Of general
denials has been amply borne out. IL
required no prophet to foretell that every
man who had been implicated by Orchard
and who could be reached by the defence
would testify that Orchard was "a liar
They have all done that.
II needed no seventh son of a seventh
son to point out that all the documentary
evidence that could be explained away
would be made the subject of explanations.
All that has been done, too; but some of
the documents remain still unexplained.
Moreover, the witnesses for the defence
have co~rroborated Orchard in almost all
the material statements that he made ex-
cepting those that charged crime directly
or by inference.
Orchards accounts of his movements
and travels in the years 1903 -O5 have been
borne out in almost every particular. II
would perhaps be unfair to review the case
further at this time when the witnesses in
rebuttal for both sides are still to be heard.
but so much at least is clear.
STILL DENYING.
The continuation Of Haywood's direct
examination this morning was very brief.
1t developed. Of course. more denials.
Haywood swore that he never at any time
had engaged with Orchard or anybody else
in plots against the lives Of Gov. Peabody.
Sherman Bell. Judge Gabbert, Judge God
dard. Fred Bradley. ex-Gov. Steunenberg
or anybody else and that he never had given
Orchard any money except such relief
as he was entitled to from the federation
funds as one Of the union miners who were
hIlNCh OOb VI III SAtthH
He did not know that Orchard was going
to Caldwell, where Steunenberg lived or that
he wa there until after the Ex-Governor
was assassinated. He never saw Orchard
after some time in the month OF August.
1905, when Orchard was visiting Pettibone
at Pettibone's house in Denver.
Haywood's cross-examination lasted
nearly all day. Those who expected that
Senator Borah would make a bitter per
sonal attack on the federation's secretary
treasnlrer were disappointed,
That is seldom the Senator's way. His
nerves are OF chilled steel. He seldom
desoends TO the browbeating tactics that
40 many lawyers affect. He is so intent
on the object he is trying to attain that per-
sonalities have no effect on him.
Even when Haywood practically served
notice Of defiance OF him he made no re-
tort, but calmly pursued the line OF inquiry
he was engaged upon
IL was when he was asking the witness
IL he didn't hold Steunenberg responsible
for the permit system that drove the fedora
ton out Of the Ceu T d Alenes n for the al
legged outrages OF the negro troops on white
women Haywood retorted:
mo, sir, not any more than l hold you,
sir, and Bartlett Sinclair and the rest of
them responsible"
AGREED WITH sTEUNENBERo ATTACK.
The Senator got Haywood TO admit that
he agreed with an article published in the
Miners Magazine, the federation official
OTRHDs AFTER pItuIltIDfIR = tINlNltl |
The Passing of S~teunenberg," in which
~Steunenberg was described as a william,
a hireling and a traitor.
HAYWOOD furthermore said, that he re-
earded Peabody, Bell and Judges Goddard
and Gabbert Of Colorado as the corrupt
representatives of the corporations.
The cipher telegram sent TO Haywood ,
by Jack Simpldns three days after Orchard
was arrested was put up to Haywood for an
explanation and he could not explain it.
II read. il will 10 remembered. as trans
lated by Meyer on the witness stand:
Cant get a lawyer for Hogan Ans"
This. Haywood said, was the first word
he got from anybody who really knew
that the Hogan arrested in Caldwell was
Orchard. He could not explain how
Simpkins knew il was Orchard. He had
never seen Simpkins since nor got any
explanation from the telegram. Simpkins
hed soon afterward and il still in hiding
FEDERATION DROPS sIMPKINs
The federation. in fact, has thrown
Simpkins TO the wolves so far as defending
him il concerned. The recent convention
of the federation reelected him, to be sure,
az an executive board member, but not
the least attempt has been made in this
case TO protect him, and there il little
doubt that If he was caught he could be
convicted Of conspiracy to Kill Steunenberg.
Senator Borah asked a few questions
that will make it difficult for the defence
10 decline to put Lawyer Fred Miller for
the defence on tne Wluntes btdilu, DuJ
they will probably think it wise to keep
him of.
Haywood was asked if he knew that
Miller started from Spokane for Caldwell
on January 3. 1905. went as far as Walla
Walla and then returned. Haywood knew
nothing about il, he said.
Some OF the Sunday school atmosphere
that the defence has been throwing around
the methods OF the federation was dissi-
pated when Senator Borah read the two
notices that the Cripple Creek district
board of the federation posted there in
1901 telling non-union miners that if they
did not Join the union they would be CON
enemies of the community and
treated as such and that they had better
hurry up about joining, too
Haywood said that the union never tried
to dictate TO the bosses as TO whom they
should employ. Nothing Of the sort. They
let them hire anybody. Then they gave
the new men two pay days to join the union.
We expected them to join the union
after that" he said grimly
KNEW WAS WANTED
Like Meyer, Haywood admitted thar
he knew the authorities were looking for
Orchard for the Independence station ex-
