This Afternoon Haywood issued this
statement:
ORCHARD WAS TOLD.

Tne news OF HayWo0dS acquittal
was told TO Harry Orchard at the pen
itentiary soon after 1t was known In
Boise. Later In the day Mcfarland
went to see Orchard. The man who
says Haywood hired him to assassin-
ate Ex-Governor Steunenberg told the
detective he was glad It was over
any how.
II did my duty" he said, IT told
the truth and am glad OF 1t. wish
my trial would be put on soon. I
would like the suspense ended. MY
conscience is now clear, as far as
can clear 1t UP, and I'm ready for
the end"
That the end Of Orchard will be the
hangman's moose is now most certain
as anything earthly can be. But Or
chard, though his testimony has to-
day proven broken reed, will not
be hanged until the state Is sure 1t
has no further use for his testimony
and that hour is not yet.
