 The State completed the eros exami- nation of Charles Mover at noon and In dealing with his testimony directed m strongest attack against the clTcuun- stances under which the federation ot the suggestion of Jack 6impkins cana to the relief of Orchard, when he waS arrested for killing Steunenberg,
 Senator Borah, who conducted the ex@ animation. emphasized the connectiep of Jack Simpkins and the federatio9 and the fact that the federation with out inquiry as to the guilt or innocenca of Orchard. gave $1.50o from its treasu- ry to provide for lis defense. He also developed the fact that the federation is providing for the defense of Steve A vvn4 to oho two claim jumpers at the instigation of Jack Simpkins. Mover denied know ing anything about $100. that Haywood sent to Jack SimpkiLs a few days be- fore Steunenberg was assassinated and which Is traced to Orchard by an un~ signed note he got at Caldwell jail. and 6 coincidence of dates.

 Mover is Recalled.
 Charles H. Mover was called to tho stand in the Haywood case when ceurt met today. Before the cross examina- tion of Mover began MT. Darrow. ok the defense. offered in evidence q lst- ter written John Murphy. of Denver, the local union at Silver City. Idaho. at the time the matter of securing counsel for Harry Orchard was under consideration. The State objected and was sustained. Mir. Darrow then read several extracts from the constitution
  which was admitted in evidence yes- terday.
 The cross examination of MT. MoyeR commenced at 10 o'clock, Senator Bo@ rah examining.
 Senator Borah first inquired as to where the real power of the organiza- tion between conventions existed. Mover said 1t rested in the executive board. the president and the secretary- treasurer. He has been active ex-ofs fcio member of the executive board ever since 1899. At the recent conven. tion of the Federation in Denver Moy- CT said. Jack Simpkins, the alleged ac- of Harry Orchard. who haa never been apprehended. was contfn. ued in office as a member Of the exec. utive board for Idaho. an alternate be@ | ing appointed to take up his duties.
 Mover was very deliberate in hts re- plies again today. evidently weighing his answers carefully before makina them. He said he was living at Dead. wood. s. D.. during the Couer d'Alens troubles of 1899. but b ,came acquaint- ed with many of the members from that district at the Salt Lake conven- ton of that year. He also learned of Governor Stuenenbergs part in the strike, Jack Simpkins was one of the men Mover met at the convention. He heard Stmpkins tel of the indignitiea he suffered in the Idano bull pen" and knew what his feelings were.
 Senator Bofah questioned the wit ness closely as to the extent of tho rule of the federation to defend any ot Its members accused of crime. Mover declared that no man was defended unless the executive board decided hin arrest had some connection with the Federation of Miners.
 Defending of Members.
 'If member of the Federation nF you felt the Federation was in sone way involved in the affair?, suggested Borah. tA N k E
 That is my understandins. We would defend any one whose act grew out of a strike. or whose arrest we felt was due to his connection with the Western Federation of Miners."
