arrangements to go to Boise. Coun-
sci for the. state and defense got into
wrangle over Harrah, Mr.. Darrow
claiming the witness was trying TO
shield the Pinkerton's connection
with his testimony.
Senator Borah said there was moth
ing OF the sort--the witness could
not understand the questions. Har-
rah denied any intention to dodge
anything. During Harrah's testi-
mony some woman among the spec
tators gave an audible hiss. Judge
Wood said that II there was any dem
onstration of any kind In the future
he would clear the room.
Boise, Idaho, June l5.-In support
of the case Of william ID. Haywood,
charged with the murder OF Frank
Steunenberg, the state today ST bmit-
ted to the jury the testimony OF an
even dozen witnesses tending TO con.
firm several details o: the story OF
Harry Orchard, and at adjournment
announced that 1t would close It's
case next week. The announcement
as to the conclusion OF the prosccu-
tion's case was a surprise to the de-
tense, and was very clearly pleasing
to the prisoner and his counsel. IL
was In response TO request from the
defense for notice from the state as
to the time 1t should assemble its
witnesses, and Senator Borah, who
spoke for his side, gave next Wednes-
day as the time.
He later explained, however, that
he had given an early day In order
to avoiu delay, and as the trial now
stands adjourned until Tuesday
morning, the prosecution would not
be able to conclude before the end OF
the week. Among today's witnesses
were former Gov. Peabody and his
daughter, Miss Cora Peabody, but
neither was on the stand very long
1t was anticipated that the defense
would extensively ross-examine Gov
Peabody and open the entire conten
tion involved In the Colorado labol
law, but a noon recess conference o
the united counsel for the defense
decided that 1t would be better tac
tics to refrain from doing so.
Against a fire OF objection and mo
tiops to strike out long record par
agraphed with exceptions by the de
fense to the rulings Of Judge Wood
the prosecution succeeded In securing
the admission OF much evidence
bearing on the points OF Orchard
! tale. First there was showing tha
Steve Adams, stranded at Ogden II
!, June, 1903, on the way home fron
, California, where, 1t Is alleged, h
went to Kill Bradley, sent te legran
, to Haywood at Denver for money
: Next 1t showed by the originals o
I drafts on New York banks, five o
! which we're purchased at the Firs
National Bank of Denver by Hay
wood himself, that during 1904, 100
and 1906 money was frequently re
5 mitted by Haywood to L. J. Siml
! kins, former member OF the executiv
board of the Western Federation c
: Miners. who. as Simmons, cam
to Caldwell with Harry Orchard an
: assisted in the first attempt to XII
} Steunenberg. The last draft, sent
January after the murder, was casbe
. by Mrs. Simpkins, presumably aft'
I Simkpins had fed.
After that came the production
o the shattered and twisted fragment
OF the device by which the V'ndica
r or bomb was set of, and this led
e an extended inquiry by the defen'
S into conditions and events cepterir
e about Cripple Creek during stril
). and martial law days. The defeni
e tried to show that there bad bee
a unwarranted deportation OF uniC
3 miners, that the calling OF the milit
d was unwarrabted, that union stor
% bad been looted, that agents OF Il
d Mineowners' association had cor
" mitted acts Of violence and ipcit'
" others to violence. that union mine
n had been logged and driven fro
o their homes. and that peace of8cial
controlled by the mineosner hi
II employed deputies who were ~
,e fighters, thugs and criminals.
G. Next the state completed the leg
n history of the Peabody bomb: Fin
h by showing that IL was dug out
le the ice In the Occur d'Alene rive
,s then, that IL was brought TO 3oi
Is and taken on to Denver, and last
