BOISE, luaH0,@ y uly Nv li1laLu IL
Haywood, charged with the murder
of Frank Steunenberg, left the wit
ness chair this afternoon. He had
been under examination six hours,
the time being equally divided be-
tween his own counsel and Senator
Borah, who conducted the cross ex-
animation.
HayWood's testimony practically
closes the case for the defense. One
| witness will be called tomorrow
morning and his examination will
take up about fifteen minutes.
The state will begin rebuttal, nm
less the motions to strike ont GER
tain parts OF the evidence should
be brought forward by the defense
Counsel for the state announced their

tons Of the court to the jury and
will not occupy time with arguments

prospect that the case may be
brought to conclusion within two
weeks.
When Clarence Darrow, Haywood's
counsel, closed the direct examina-

stir in the room and then an abso-
Lutte silence. The first question and
the answers came in such subdued
tones that Richardson, OF Haywood's
counsel, asked the witness to speak
out.
Borah's cross examination, always
rapid fire. was more than usually
quick today, but from first to last
Haywood preserved complete self
control. $
Mr.. Borahfs manner was courteous
throughout, but now and then a
tinge of sarcasm appeared as he in
sisted on a direct answer and Hay
wood appeared reluctant. Haywood
in turn was as courteous as the cross
examiner. Notwithstanding the air
of consideration, of quiet speech and
courteous bearing, there was not a
moment throughout, the cross exam

sibilities.
Once when Senator Borah pressed

Haywood as to his sentiment toward
former Governor Steunenberg, Hay
wood said quietly and with smile

berg than do towards you or any
of these people. % Senator Borah

something of that sort and did not
pursue the subject.
Much of Haywood's testimony to-
day was a repetition in detail of
what Meyer said yesterday. Hay
wood, however, made no effort to
deny his knowledge of Orchard and
his affairs or his connection with
Simpkins.
He was pressed closely as to the
passage of kilograms relating to thea
engagement of counsel TO defend Orr
chard and in this connection admit
