The HAYWOOD TRIAL.

The prosecution in the Haywood
trial served notice Of its intention to
submit a series Of motions to strike
out evidence of the defense unless the
connecting up testimony that has
been promised is forthcoming.
Max Malich, Joe Mehelich and Billy
Altman, variously implicated In al
legged misconduct at Globeville, Den
yer and Cripple Creek, on the word OF
Harry Orchard. went on the stand as
witnesses for William ID. Haywood
and made denial Of Orchards testi-
mony.
The Haywood jury listened to docu-
ments taken from the Pinkerton
agency by Morris Friedman which re-
vealed the complete surveillance OF
the miners organizations by spies.
James I. Wallace told of misuse OF the
militia by the mine owners.
Counsel for Haywood put on the
stand In the Boise trial Morris Fried
man, formerly a stenographer for the
Pinkerton detective agency at Denver,
who said he was acting as a spy Tor
the Western Federation OF Miners.
His testimony tends to show that the
Pinkertons, acting for the Mine own
ers' association and the Citizens ALI
ance conspired to destroy the fedora
ton.
