Purpose of Prosecution.
The Haywood case will be resumed at
$50 on Tuesday morning, when the state
Will continue the introduction OF EVIDENCE
in support of the Orchard story and ell
deavor TO further link the defendant with
the conspiracy to murder Steunenberg as
outlined by Orchard in his confession. SO
far the evidence has been cOTrObOratiVe
of Orchards story of his many crimes in
major and minor detail. The direct con-
nection of Haywood has yet to come out
in evidence. Certain evidence has linked
him with Adams, who, Orchard says. WAS
his partner in number of crimes. Doc
umentary evidence has shown Haywood 5
connection with Jack Simpktns. but as
Simpkins was a member of the exec
utiVe board of the Western Federation
of Miners, of which Haywood is still the
secretary and treasurer, counsel for the
defense claim that the drafts were drawn
N fha regular OF the federation
and that the production of drafts from
Haywood to Simpkins have no connection
with a conspiracy. being, IN fact, on the
records of the federation.
Money Paid to Simpkins.
Simpkins is named in the Indictment
with Haywood. Meyer and Pettibone, but
he has not been arrested. one of the
drafts i'm his favor was drawn after the
murder of Steunenberg- The state has
shown by some witnesses that SimpkinS
was With Orchard in Caldwell prior to,
but not at the time of the murder. The
last draft produced in evidence and iden-
titled by the cashier of the Denver bank,
was drawn in January. 1896. 1t was in
dorsed by Simpkins' wife, and paid to
her in Spokane. Steunenberg was Killed
on December 80 1906 The draft in favor
of Simpkins was drawn prior to the time
Orchard made his confession, and about
three weeks before Haywood was arrest
ed in Denver. IL is rumored that the
whereabouts OF Simpkins is known and
that he will be produced as witness at
The proper time. Counsel for the de-
tense ana prosecution do not confirm the
report.
Ii is probable that the case. in direct.
for the state, will rest by the end of this
week. Counsel say that il viii take at
least until Friday next to conclude, Ad-
ans may be called to the stand in q few
days but this is not certain. y strong
effort will be made 10 get Adams re-
pudiated confession before the jury, and
will. of course. he fought vigorously by
the defense. Lawyers who know the his
tory of the prosecution of Adams and mis-
confession express doubt as to the pos
siblity Of getting the confession in.
Haywood Against SteUnenbere.
on Tuesday the state Will offer in ev-
idenCc copies of certain printed articles
over Haywood's signature showing the
language used against Steunenberg when
the former governor was running for OF

said were received by him over the Pos
tai Telegraph company and that severa
sums Of money were sent 10 him during
the months he remained in San Francisco
waiting his opportunity.
The defense has already announced thai
they will have between $50 and 200 wit

for these and IL is therefore proba biz
