Boise. Ida, July THE attorneys for
William d. Haywood today completed the
details of their plans for the final week
Of the defense which begins with the
opening of court at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning. Interest in the trial at this
time centers in the forthcoming appear
ance upon the stand of Haywood, who, il
IS claimed has been the moving force in
the Western Federation Of Miners for the
past several years, and one of his Co
defendants, Charles II. Meyer, the presi-
dent of the miners organization. The
third defendant in the famous case,
George A. Pettibone, will not take the
stand. it is said. until his own case comes
on &c be heard. Steve Adams. whose re-
cent trial for the murder of d man in
Northern Idaho, resulted in disagree
ment of the jury, and who has been va
riously implicated by Harry Orchard in
many of the latter's crimes and alleged
conspiracies with the leaders Of the West
ern Federation, is still in Boise jail, avail
able as a witness for the defense. but q
has been definitely decided that he shall
not be called to the stand. The prOseCu-
ton still claims it would welcome such

Trial viii Last Three Weeks.


for defense and prosecution there seems
little hope that the trial which has al
ready been in progress for two months,
can be brought to an end inside of three
weeks The defense viii require at least
all Of the five or SIX days yet. for il is
announced that Haywood when he takes
the stand, will be prepared to lay bare
his entire life's history.
His testimony as to his connection with
the Western Federation of Miners will be
lntersperSed with much documentary evil
dence and the introduction of this, and
reading II to the jury viii take up much
time. The defense expresses its willing
ness that the cross-eXaminatiOn of Hay
wood shall take the widest possible range
The defendant. II is said, will not only
deny in toto all that Orchard has said
as to his connection with any of the
witness crimes. but viii offer a perfectly
plausible explanation of the instances
where the state has associated Orchard
and Haywood notably the instance of
HayWOOd's part in the deception of the
second Mrs Orchard as to the where
abOuts of her husband in the late summer
OF 1893. Haywood will also be called upon
10 explain the sending of several drafts
10 Jack Smpkins, q member Of the exec
utive board and an organizer for the
Western Federation, whose presence in
Caldwell with Orchard just prior to the
assassination of former Governor Steup-
enbeTg has not been denied by the de-
Tense. The attorneys for the federation
say that these payments were the regular
sums due SlmpklnS for his work an
organizer and had absolutely nothing TO
do with any crime or proposed criminal
act The sending of SO to Steve Adams
in Ogden, Utah, will also be a subject of
inquiry when Haywood takes the stand.
The fourth instance to which the state
attaches Importance as tending to connect
Haywood with the alleged conspiracy as
revealed by Harry Orchard upon the wit
ness stand. was the sending or message
by Haywood to Silver City. Ida. in

Ancient Postal System That Came

The carefully organized postal sys-

Romans, yet their mail Travelled with
considerable speed.
The system of angari, or couriers on
horseback, was borrowed from the Per
SLAMS, who, according to Zenophon, had
established it under Cyrus the Elder
The Roman adaptation of 1t was the
best system of transmitting letters
among the ancient states.
All along the great Roman roads
houses were erected at a distance OF
five or six miles from each other Al
each of these stations forty horses
were constantly kept, and by the helI
of relays it was easy to travel a hun
dred miles in a day.
These services were intended for the
state only. It being imperative to Sc
cure the rapid interchange Of officia

Caesar the system was SO well or
gained that of two letters the great
soldier wrote from Britain to Cicero al

ty-eight days.

A Maine MethuseIah.

In logging camp near Hutton, Me.
few years ago man by the name OF
Peter Grimes was accidentally killed
and his widow was left in rather poor
circumstances.
Joseph Breed, a particular friend OF
the unfortunate man, being somewhat
of a carpenter, decided to make Grimes
coffin and so cut down the funeral ex
penses. He told the widow of his in
tention and also of carving the name
and age of her late husband on the
lid, but he was rather worried when
he found that the age was twenty
eight years.
Il am awful sorry, Mrs. Crimes
said Joe, "but l never could cut a fig

That's too bad" replied Mrs
Grimes; then as happy thought came
to her she asked him il he could cut q
figure Z.
Yes, can cut first rate figure r.
well, then, why not cut four Isl
Everybody knows four rs are twenty
eight"
So the following day Joe completed
the coffin as she suggested.
The day of the funeral came and the
late Rev. T. s. Black Of Hutton was
reading the service over the body and
had arrived at that part where he was
saying:
Our dearly beloved brother, who de.
parted this life at the age off,
Here he glanced at the coffin lid for
reference, and, his eyes lighting on
Joe's row of four rs, he gave a gasp
and with a startled look in his eyes
exclaimed:
