hNNtu tuhi the Sthtt attorneys VIII
sent 1t has been generally claimed that
The state has moro discriminating evidence
against Pettbone than any OF the othars
while IT has been generally conceded that
The case against Meyer is the weakest OF
the three.
Pettibone Must Explain.
The defense in the Haywood case admit
ted that there were number of things for
Mr.. Pettibone to explain as to his associs-
ton with Harry Orchard and the sending
OF money TO him. but they said il would be
time enough to deal with these matters
when Pettbone himself was placed on
trial.
Haywood continues to receive many con
gratulatory kilograms from all sections OF
the country. Aside from the personal con-
ordinations Of the senders the messages
nave nearly all expressed the sentiment
that labor has triumphed over the oppres-
sive measures of capital
haywood spent the day at the cottage oc-
cupied by his family and received many
Thursday.
Attorney barrow OF Chicago made the
formal application for Meyers release, and
no word OF objection was interposed by
senator Borah, representing the state.
When IL came to fixing the amount Senator
Borah named $4,000.
That is reasonable and suits u.s." said
Mr.. barrow
prove the bond. and would make 1t con-
tinuing so that Meyer could remain at his
home In Colorado until wanted. As To Pet
tibone, Darrow urged that the earliest pos
sble date be fixed for his trial The next
term OF court begins September L. and
Judge Wood said he would like to clear the
calendar as far as possible before going
into an extended trial. October | was then
set as the date agreeable to all con-
cerned.
Butte Union to the Rescue.
Bond for Meyer is to be given I'm a
unique way. suggested by Attorney Peter
Breen Of Butte. Mont. who has been assoc
ciated with the defense.
The Butte local of the Western Fedora
ton OF Miners is the richest in the organ
ization, and Mr.. Breen said carries A de-
post of from 100000 to $4,000 con-
stantly in the bank. Arrangements were
made by wire by Mr.. Breen to have the
Butte union make S25, 600 subject TO draft
by the First National Bank OF Boise. Some
officer of the Boise bank viii sign the ball
bond as surety. A telegram to Mr. Breen
said that arrangements at Butte had been
completed.
We were offered personal bond in sew
eral times the amount desired here in
Boise" said Mr.. Breen. but We preferred
not to impose upon any of our friends to
that extent, when the Butte union has
such a large surplus and was anxious for
the honor of showing its confidence in the
president of the federation"
Discussion OF the verdict In the Haywood
case was widespread, the consensus OF
opinion being that the jury had done its
duty as 1t saw it and should not be criti-
cised.
Guilty, Say Two Jurors.
The jurors in the case continue publicly
to discuss the part they played in arriving
at verdict. Samuel d. Gilman, the last
man to vote for acquittal. said:
There has been published one state
ment that 1 want to correct. One OF the
jurors is quoted as saying that the jury
had to spend long disagreeable and tire
some night In order to convince two Jurors
that the defendant was not guilty. I want
to say that they never did convince US. I
believed that he was guilty. and still
think he is guilty, and l want the world
to know It, 1 simply acquiesced In the
verdict OF acQuttal because L felt that I
could not do otherwise after I found the
entire eleven other jurors conserving to
acquittal."
