who during the 80 days of his trial
had sat with stolid Indifference writ
ten upon his every feature-at last
the icy armor he had thrown about
himself with the first day of jury Sc
lection had been pierced, and what
ever of pentup feeling had been con-
tanned within was loosed. Haywood's
attorneys were fairly lifted from their
seats, and Judge Wood made no eff
fort to restrain them as they sur
rounded their client to shake his
hands and shout aloud their congratu-
lations. James H. Hawley, leading
counsel for the state, and o. N. Van
duyn, the prosecuting attorney of the
county in which Steunenberg was as
sassinated, sat gloomy and unspeak.
ing in their places.
Hastens to His Mother.
Haywood's first thought was of his
aged mother, who Saturday had suf-
fered a nervous breakdown after the
jury had retired. Leaving the court
room in company with Attorney Nu-
gent, he walked down to the Jail por-
ton of the building, shaking hands as
he went with guards, employees and
friends who had arrived on the scene
He babe farewell to Meyer who, when
he heard the verdict said: That's
good" and to Pettibone, whom OAR
row described to the jury as "sort
of Happy Hooligan,' and who called:
'Give my regards to Broadway" Then
Haywood walked to st. Luke's hos
pital and unannounced rushed into
his mothers room. So great was the
tonic upon the elderly woman that
Sunday night she was up and about
and happy. Next Haywood went to
the little cottage where his wife and
daughters have been stopping.
Statement by Haywood.
Sunday night Haywood issued the
following statement: Il appreciate
the support of the working class ex-
tended to us by workingmen through
out the country.
81 have no feeling nor ill-will toward
any person; 1 am charitable toward
all. My intention is to go back to
Denver and take up my work where
1 left off when was placed under ar
rest
Il do appreciate the kindness and
consideration with which my family
has been treated by the people of
Boise
CAS- to the outcome of the trial,
have never had any fear, and would
hou Cot. hn hn
lief l expressed when first arrested,
that is, with fair trial and an impair
tial jury the verdict would be such
as has been given to the country.
Senator Borah treated me most
fairly, and 1 appreciate it.
Judge Wood was eminently fair
to me, and have extended to him my
thanks for his treatment of me during
the ordeal of this trIar.
Il do not in any way blame Gov
Gooding for the position he took"
Meyers Release Ordered.
Boise, Idaho, July 30.-Charles H.
Meyer, president of the Western Fed
GRAFTON of Miners, and co-defendant
with William d. Haywood, acquitted
Sunday of the murder of former
Gov. Steunenberg, was ordered re-
leased on $4,000 bail Monday by
Judge Wood, who presided at the Hay
wood trial.
The attorneys for the federation ex-
pected to have the bond ready for
filing Monday night, but the arrange
ments had not been wholly completed
at late hour, and Meyer resigned
himself to another night in Jail. He
will probably be released Tuesday and
will leave within "a hours for his home
in Denver.
AS soon as Meyer is released he will
go to Denver.
No application for bail was made in
the case of George A. Pettibone, the
third of the alleged conspirators, but
a motion was made for speedy trial,
and his case was ordered set for
Tuesday, October 1 Counsel intima-
ted that they might apply for bond for
Pettibone later, but it is not believed
that the states attorneys will consent.
1t has been generally claimed that
the state has more discriminating evil
dence against Pettibone than any of
the others, while it has been generally
conceded that the case against Meyer
Is the weakest Of the three.
