ants on Trial at Boise, Ida.
 Of the three officials of the Western Federation of Miners now on trial at Boise, Ida, for their lives on the charge of having conspired to cause the mur- der of ex-Governor Frank Steunenberg of Idaho, w. D. Haywood. secretary and treasurer of the miners organiza ton, makes the best impression on first acquaintance, says Oscar King Davis. the Boise correspondent of the New York Times. He is a big, sturdy fellow, with a square head and solid jaw. He has lost the sight of his right eye and has developed curious trick of turn Ing his face away as if to conceal his misfortune and rolling his left eye around to keep track of what is going on. It gives him queer, unnaturally furtive expression, not at all in keeping with his straightforward manner when personally addressed.
 Haywood is Socialist and an ideal ist He is fond of reading and devotes much of his time to 1t, making it both recreation and study. His friends say that although he is deeply concerned in making the most vigorous fight possi- ble to escape conviction, he has not lost sight of the fact that tho death penalty in this case would make him q martyr of organized labor.
 But Charles H. Mover, president of the federation, and George A. Petti- bone find no such compensation in their situation. They are both more prac. tical men. desperately intent on mnk- ing winning defense Mover was tlt brains of the Western Federation of Miners and its chief organizer He is of the labor leader type and always ex- tremely popular with the regular laboi union man. He makes a fiery speed and carries his audience with him. H. has the reputation of being the beat man on his feet in the ranks of organ ized labor today. Pettibone in appear ance fits the description reported t. have been given of him by Harry Or chard. He is a slight man, below the average height, with weak chin and the good natured grin that goes with it.
 When saw the three defendants iL the county jail the other day Haywood had just come down from the court room, where he had listened to the ad verse ruling of Judge Fremont Wood. In court he was very nervous and had difficulty in maintaining an outwarl; show of composure He seldom facel the judge, but continually rolled his left eye toward the bench, while seem ing to look the other way But in his cell lie is different man. He had nothing to say about his case of course, but manifested lively interest in what was going on outside and particularly in the effect of the Undesirable citi gen. expression of the president.
 Pettibone was busy at his favorite amusement, typography. He had a lc' of specimens of his work and one which afforded no little amusement. It was a big piece of leather on whici he had burned the motto, "So live thas every day you can look every man i!s the face and tell him to go to h.
 The signature Pettibone has adopted. for his artistic effects in the burned WOCd and leather line IS goat. RC signs all his work with that symbol. and there is an irresistible suggestion of appropriateness about it, for Petit bone is not in the class with Mover am Haywood. He is the sort of man foun. in all small towns-the good natureQ handy man who can do q job of tinker ing, carpentry, painting general a. around usefulness in the small wa. mechanic line.
 Mover is a tall, dark man, with q narrow face and small, deep set eye Nnd high, long nose. His long lower jaw ends in sharply pointed chin and altogether his face gives the i'm pression of incisiveness which accor6e with his reputation.
