The Haywood Trial

waiting, the first of the trials of
the officers of the Western Fedora
ton of the miners on the charge OF
causing the assassination of former
Governor Frank Steunenberg of
Idaho is near at hand. On May
the 9th, William B. Haywood,
secretary of the most power
full individual labor organization
in the world, will be arraigned IN
the district court at Boise for trial.
1t has been more than fourteen
months since Meyer, Haywood
and Pettibone were arrested in
Denver and brought to Idaho to
answer for one of the most helm
GUS crime in history. In case
of such Importance manytIdelays
were unavoidable. but at last all
the preliminary proceedings are
over and the first Of the trials
which will be in many respects the
greatest in the history Of American
criminal court, is to begin.
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone
are either guilty of connecting
the foulest conspiracy in the an
nails of the country's crime, or they
are the most prosecuted men Of the
generation. Fair and impartial
trials will tell to the world which
of these conditions is true. And
impartials are assured. The
widespread impression that pre-
walls, or appears, in labor circles,
that these men are to be raiIroaded
to the gallows is wholly untrue.
This community is facing the trials
with remarkable serenity. Their
condemnation before guilt is
proven-there is no disposition,
even on the part Of the prosecution
itself to administer anything more
or anything less than justice.
The state of Idaho is prescott.
ing the case. Canyon county,
the scene of the crime, would
have been unable to shoulder the
great financial burden involved
and without dissenting vote the
last Legislature agreed that the
state should pay all expenses of
the prosecution of the cases.
Governor Gooding did not wait
for the legislature to meet before
assuring Canyon county that the
state would bear the burden. He
knew the Idaho citizenship, and
knew that no voice would be rails.
ed against bringing the guilty to
justice, save those who, often with
perfect honesty, claim that the fed
Grafton officers are being persecut-
ed, not prosecuted. The Govern
or issued deficiency warrants to
the amount of $4,000 towards
meeting the expenses before
the meeting of the Legislature.
Not only did the Legislature prompt
ly allow these warrants, but ap-
propriated $50, 900 more.
Neither the prosecution nor the
defense will be hampered by the
lack of funds. 1t is estimated
that the three trials will cost the
state of Idaho quarter of a mill
ION dollars, and the defense will
expend twice as much. The best
available attorneys have been en-
ployed and the trials will be legal
battles such as have seldom been
witnessed. The chief attorneys
for the state will be James Fl
Hawley, one of the leading of
Idaho, and Sanator w. f. Borah.

trials, there being abundant space
within the bar for the attorneys and
the regiment of newspaper cores
pondents who will attend. The
county Jail, in which Meyer, Hay
wood and Pettibone have been
prisoners so long, is in the same
building, the first floor being de-
voted to Jail purposes.
Already the advance guard has
arrived. Friends and followers
of the defendants are arriving
every day and many strangers are
in the city. To some this fore
bodies trouble, but there is no
real cause for alarm. There is
every reason to believe that the
trial will progress in project order.
1t is true that some of the more
radical labor leaders over the
country have predicted scenes'of
violences, and many yelled threats
have been made, but it is not
thought their counsel will prevail.
When it becomes apparent that
the trial. even the defendants are
receiving a fair trail, even the
most radical, it is believed, will
be content to await the judgment
of the court. 1t is proposed to
permit admission by ticket only,
and unless visitors with anarchistic
tendencies have the necessary ere,
dentials they will be barred as
will be the merely curious.
When, after a change Of venue
from Canyon to Ada county had
been granted, the defense asked
for separation Of the case, the
prosecution promptly electen that
Haywood should be tried first.
This decision was reached because
it is the theory of the state that he
was the arch conspirator. 1t is
believed that Hay woods trial will
be followed by that of Pettibone'
as it is conceded that the case
against President Meyer is the
weakest of the three. 1t will be
maintained by the prosecution
that the plot to assassinate Govern
or Steunenberg was Matched il
Denver by Meyer. Haywood
Pettibone and Jack Simpkins,
member of the executive board Of
the federation who is fugitive
from justice; that Simpkins, under
the personal directions OF Hay
wood, went to Caldwell and met
Harry Orchard there, who had
previously been approached on the
subject, and that there these two
men made the final plans for the
crime, which was executed by Or
chard.
Interest in the trial centers in
the testimony of Harry Orchard,
the self-confessed murderer. II
was Orchards confession which
implicated the federation officers,
and he is expected to repeat on
the stand the story which he
told the grand jury which indicted
them, and which was secured
from him by James Mcfarland,
chief detective of the Pinkerton
Agency. 1t is upon Orchards
testimony largely that the pro
secution bases its case. This test
imony alone, however, will not be
enough to convict. There must
be, under the law, some corrob
Grating evidence, and what this
will amount to is something that
cannot now be told. The pro
secution claim to have other evid,
ence, but what it is will not be re-

him had not been forthcoming.
Later, however, Adams complete
ly repudiated his confession assert
ing that he made 1t under pressure
and upon promise of freedom.
1t is not likely that Adams will
figure in the trials at all.
There is much interesting his
tory back of the case, much of
which will be brought out during
the trial of Haywood. The trou-
blesome times of the Occur d.
Alene riots, W b en- Governor
Steunenberg with an iron hand
put an end to lawlessness, will
be reviewed, and the labor trou-
bles in Colorado will probably
figure conspicuously. Attorney
Hawley has been in Colorado
some time gathering information
which will be used in the trial.
The feeling existing agai s t
Steunenberg because of his action
during the Occur d'Alene riots,
will, according to the states theory,
furnish the motive for the crime.
With the motive established, the
prosecution will bring forth its
star witness, Orchard, whose
testimony will be corroborated by
Detective Mcfarland. Then will
follow whatever evidence t b g
prosecution has been able to
gather together.
The defense is carefully keep
ing its plans concealed. How it
will meet the confession of Or
chard if not known, but it is
supposed that an effort will be
made to show that the confession
was secured through promise of
immunity and through threats.
1t is possible that the defense
will maintain, as is urged by the
radical elements that Meyer, Hay.
wood and Pettibone are the vic
Tins of conspiracy, to which the
states of Idaho and Colorado are
party. 1t is very doubtful, how
ever, if such a line of defense will
be pursued, as it is the general
opinion that it would react against
them.
There will be much trouble ex-
perienced in securing a jury. The
case has been so widely discussed
that few or none can be found
who will be able to say they have
not heard 1t talked Of. 1t is not
likely that half the people of the
country have openly expressed an
opinion, but great majority I'M
doubleday have in their minds
very decided opinion one way or
the other. The great difficulty will
be, however, in the fact that few
care to 60 on record in the case.
Even those who fear trouble the
least admit that they wouldn't care
to sit on the jury which convicted
the prisoners. 1t is probable that
two weeks will be consumed in
securing jury satisfactory to
both sides.
The trial will be long drawn
out one. From two or h rec
months, perhaps more, will prob
ably be consumed. Then, after a
few months rest, the second trial
will begin, and following it the
third. There will be little else in
the District court here for the
next year, if all of the cases are
tried in this county.
In case of convictions the cases
will all be Appealed and every
effort will be made to save the
prisoners. 1t is estimated that

war From a Thup,i, Bite.

Perhaps the most portentous if in
nocent incident in the proceedings
leading up to England's war with
King Theodore of Abyssinia was-a
thumb bite. The British consul was
practically a prisoner at his court
when Mr.. Stern. a British missionary,
called upon the king of kings" The
first mistake of the Englishman was
to seek an audience Immediately after
the king had dined too literally with
hisscourt. The second was his choosing
as interpreters two utterly incompetent
men. The ineficiency Of this pair so
angered the duSky monarch that then
and there he ordered them to be beat
en-. Mr.. Stern, unable to bear the
sight, turned around and bit his
thumb" Now, he was not aware of
it, but to bite the thumb is in Abys-
sinia defiance and a threat of venge-
arce. The quick eye of the king
caught the innocent menace, and he
had the missionary also beaten. From
that sprang the war, the defeat of the
forces of the king and his death by his
own hand in his ruined city of Mag
dala.-LOndon Standard

A bee gathers honey by the aid of
Its trunk" "lower lip or tongue -
which is used as an instrument for ex-
tracting the nectar from flowers. The
tongue of bee is not, as was once
thought to be the case, a tube through
Which the juice is sucked, but is built
more after the fashion of a fine broom.
With this broom the bee brushes or
laps the honey or honey material from
the flowers, leaves, etc., and passes it
down q groove in the upper surface Of
the tongue to the mouth proper. From
that point the juice is conveyed
through Il minute orifice into the first
stomach" vulgarly called the honey
bag" The honey bag is a real chem
ical laboratory, where by some mystic
rious process which has not yet been
explained by science the juices are
converted into pure honey. When the
chemical process of transforming the
nectar into viscid honey has been COM
pleted the bee disgorges it into one of
the cells made for the purpose of a re
ceptacle. For years the microscopsts
and the ent0molOgists have been study
ing the bees laboratory, but it's work
lngs are at present among the unex-
planned mysteries.

That neat and lOvable little coin, the
dime, has had q most useful history.
AS far as we are aware, it is unique
among the worlds coins, having no
nearer equivalent than the English six
pence, which is worth . cents more. 1t
is one of the handiest of coins, being
about as small as a silver piece can
be. Being less in size and
weight than the nickel, which is worth
only half as much, it is vastly more
convenient to keep and hoard, and that
is one reason why it is becoming ex-
traordinarily scarce in spite of the
fact that more dimes are now turned
put of the minis than ever before in
The country's history. There is a rage
for "dime banks" and some of these
cOntriyances are so pretty,
so ingenious and so alluring that they
force people to save dimes who have
no earthly occasion to do so.-New

Horses and Grass.

A famous veterinary surgeon de-
clares that grass beats all the drugs in
creation as q cure for sick horses and
mules. Horses should have a few
quarts Of grass daily from spring until
fall, he says. The prevalent notion
that it is harmful is idiotic and cruel.
Grass to horses is the same as fresh
vegetables and fruit to US Their cray
ing for it proves their need Of it. Yet
ignorant, unfeelng drivers yank them
away from it as if it was poison in
stead of the life giving medicine it is,
designed by their Maker for them.
When they gnaw the bark of trees or
eat leaves it is because they crave
grass and can't get it. Millions Of bush
els of grass go to waste yearly by the
wayside which should be utilized for
our noble. faithful, helpless, dumb col
league, the horse, thus making him
healthy and happy. Summer visitors
who hire horses should remember these
facts and give the animals a chance to
get at the grass by the roadside once
in awhile
