ORCHARDS OLD PAL
HIDING IN JUAREz
He Is Afraid to Go to Boise Be
cause of Threatened Violence.
Defense Believes He Gan
Free Haywood From
Charge of Murder.

Boise, Idaho, June 19.-When the
trial of w. ID. Haywood was resumed
this morning. Senator Borah special
ly named the articles in the various
numbers of the Miners Magazine,
which he offered as evidence.
To the introduction of these exhib-
its the defense made a general objec-
tion that the evidence failed to con-
meet the defendant with the murder
of Steunenberg, and stated that they
would present a specific objection 10
each exhibit.
The articles will be read to the jury
if the court admits them as evidence.
Defense objects.
Attorney b. f. Richardson made
an argument for the defense against
the admission of the magazine ar
ticles. He read at length from the
evidence in the Spiess case to show
that the Miners Magazine articles
did not compare with the violence OF
the language used by Johann Most,
in writing to Spies, and with the an
archists' revolutionary writings in
the eighties.
Richardson admitted that Hay
wood was prejudiced against Steunen-
berg. but said that hundreds, even
thousands of people, likewise con-
demned the course adopted by Steu-
nenberg, but should not be held re-
sponsible for the governors murder.
Ordinary Newspaper Abuse.
Richardson admitted that some OF
the Miners Magazine articles were
Incorporate in tone, but claimed that
they were nothing more than ord1-
nary newspaper abuse.
Senator Borah argued that the are
ticles should be admitted as was done
in the Spies case as they showed the
enmity of the organization, of which
the defendant was an officer, to Steu-
nenberg. and advocated violence.

He asserted that in no word con-
tanned in the magazine was the use of
arms, except in self defence advo-
Gated.
Judge Wood took the question un-
der advisement and court ADJOURNED

Alderman i'm JuareZ.
Ell Paso, Texas, June 19.-"Billy"
according angNsrIIn' to Harry G orchard, the
arch-criminal of the century, in his
testimony in the Haywood case at
Boise, Idaho, took part in the dyna-
hitting of the Vindicator mine and
helped to make the "Pettibone dope"
and the bomb which was placed for
the apparent purpose of killing Gov.
Peabody January l, 1905, and also
to have played an important part in
the other occurrences of the Cripple
Creek and Tulluride districts in Colo
rado is known to be hiding in Juarez.
The man has been here for several
weeks, coming to this point with a
companion called Johnson, for the
purpose of avoiding arrest. Ackerman
has been searched for all over the
United States and is badly wanted to
testify at the trial of the accused
Federation leaders.
Can Free Accused Men.
According to Ackerman's compan-
ion, j. q. Johnson, Ackerman is in
possession of information that would
not only free the convicted officers OF
the Western Federation of all blame
but would reveal the most startling
conspiracy against union labor ever
planned by human hands Ackerman
is said to have told Johnson that he,
together with Orchard, was employed
by the Mine Owners association and
the Citizens Alliance to dynamite and
to kill for the purpose or duplicating
the union leaders and in that way to
crush the union.
Afraid of Violence.
Ackerman, IL is stated, would be
willing to go to Boise and testify In
the interests of the accused men and
to stamp the confession of Harry Or
chard as an invention of Detective
MCFARLAND and a cleVerly devised fab
rication if he were not afraid his life
would be sacrificed in the attempt
Since coming to this vicinity man is
said to have offered to give Ackerman
$3.50 if he would agree to go to Boise
Alderman refused, because, he said
the train on which he should leave e
Paso would never reach Boise. Two
Pinkertons have been in constant
surveillance OF Ackerman TO his per
sonal knowledge and Ackerman says
there are men watching him who
would not hesitate to dynamite {
train and 10 sacrifice a score of lives
before they would see him go Il
Boise. -i aaHHH &MEz
