Alleges All Sorts of Perse- cution of Haywood and
 His Friends.

To the Editor of the Journal and
 Courier;
 The following letter, direct from the scene of the Haywood Mover trial, present another phase of the situation The writer is a woman who is repre- senting New York papers. The letter was sent to friends ill this city. With the exception of a paragraph of per- |sonal reference it is printed intact:
 Boise. Idaho, June 2. 1907, My Dear Comrades:
 Our mail has been sent from post to pillar and been delayed Then. too, three comrades have discovered that the mall is tempered with. They have filed protests. Do please let me know if you get this intact. Of all the places on Gods green earth, just at present. this seems the footsteps of the devil most certainly. Corruption is rampant, even New York reporters are under the yoke. Socialism and So- clalists are beneath the dust the peo- lple walk upon. We are reyiled, hiss ed and even spat upon. It Is all we can do to get a place to lay our heads | and bite to eat. Seven of us have been assaulted, one is now in jail. The papers are vile. succeeded in getting in one letter that has relieved the ten- sion. I found detective going through my grip, the other day and Unterman caught one at his trunk. A Colorado German followed me to Mrs. Haywood's house and to Haywood S cell, where I got our comrades mes sage to the people. He got so in- sulting that I was obliged to rap him over the head At the instance of Clarence Darrow I now carry a dog whip. We have been forbidden to men tion socialism. Our socialist grocer here who exposed plot to bribe thu jury has been run out of town. Tele- grams to socialist papers are censored. i All the churches are against us save the dear little Church of Christ, Sci i enlist, that the Haywood family at tend. Mrs. Haywood is Scientist and bears the face of saint. If you could send her message. one that would do for Comrade Haywood, too, I would be so glad. The two daughters 1 Vernly, r and Henrietta, nine, are on the verge of breakdown. They re- ceove horrible treatment from the townspeople and are constantly fol- lowed by Pinkerton detectives. Henri etta is afraid of being Kidnapped. l You are Gods child, never fear" says dear Mrs, Haywood This town is hard to describe. It seems to be own l cd and run by the capitahstic clique who are determined to harry our comrades. They run the newspapers, own the hotels and manage all the boarding houses, save few that are run by members of the union labor or ganizations. Most of the Socialists have had to take to the Chinese res- taurants.
 Do not believe anything you read in the daily papers. The reporters are corrupted here. There is a regular fund, it is said, put aside to entertain them. We of. course, refuse all pass es and favors,. Be prepared this week and next for manufactured evidence You will have. to hold fast to faith and trust in God as we do for the truth tC come out somehow Dear friends, oul best beloved, pray for us and our pooi comrades in prison.
