 of'the second and third juries. that all three cases should be completed with In three months time.
 Much Time Nec~sssry.
 But with the time taken up in the continuation of prospective jurors, that estimate of time is manifestly too small. l doubt, from my knowledge of the amount of evidence there will be to be heard by the jury if the actual taking of testimony, for prosecution and defense. in rebuttai and sur-rebut- tal- can be finished in less than six weeks or two months.
 do not believe, however that either Mover or Pettibone. the two remaining miners officials in jail. will be brought to trial within the next few months. should Haywood be acquitted, unless it be on some technicality not involv- ing to any appreciable degree the mer- its of the case. Igdo not believe they will ever be tried; their cases would be mol pressed. But should Haywood be convicted. Mover and Pettihone will doubtless be held for trial.
 Even in that event, however. it seems entirely probable. both from the general fight that is being made by the defense and the large number of exceptions that have been taken by Attorneys Darrow and Richardson dur HIS tit SCISCtlOn or LHe Jury, AIndt tne case will go at once to the Supreme Court of the State; possibly. should the decision there be unfavorable. the case may be taken into the Federal courts and finally to the Supreme Court of the United States at Washington, upon some Federal constitutional question. as were the applications of the three men for writs of habeas corpus last year. I doubt very much if Mover and na T.fz nfa 4rt al l7o appellate courts have ruled on the questions of law that arise in the Hay wood case
 Nearly 900 hundred witnesses have been summoned by the State alone in the Haywood case. It is not thought that all of these will be placed on the witness stand, but it is desired by the attorneys for the prosecution to have them on hand to be used either on di- rect testimony or in rebuttal, should they be needed.
 Court Practice in Idaho.
 Immediately upon the completion of the jury. according to the Idaho prac- tice, one of the attorneys for the pros ecution will present his case to the jury outlining the facts that the State expects to prove, that the ju- TOTS may be able more easily to fol- low the important points in the testi- mony of the various witnesses. This address in the Haywood case will De made by James H. Hawley, one of the two leading attorneys for the prose- Cution.
 Probably two or three days will then be required for the State to prove the material fact of the assassination of Steunenberg-to formally establish who he was that he vas blown up by q bomb early on the evening of Decem- ber 30 1905, and to establish that he | 1 1IaA % - the bomb.
 4Aen, in all probability, the main witness for the State, the man of many aliases. who Is commonly known among those familiar with the case as Harry Orchard, will be placed on the stand. He Is expected to make a full confession on the witness stand of the fact that he, personally, planted the bomb at the Steunenberg gate where | the former Governor was blown into eternity. and to tell of the part that Haywood and his associates are claim ed to have taken in the planning of the i murder.
 The story of Orchard. if one may | rely upon the portions of it which have leaked out. will be a narrowing one l The story in all its details includes the tale of murder after murder, the | shooting of mine managers whose act ions did not suit thes. "conspirators." numerous mine accidents" such as picks falling down shafts and strik- | ing some unfortunate at the bottom. who had in some manner acquired the enmity of these men. the dynamiting of mills of obstreperous mining com. panles, and the wholesale assassina- ton of ''scabs' who had taken the places of striking members of the Western Federation. It Is a story. so Governor Gooding of Idaho, once toId me, of over thirty murders, among nu- merous other crimes
