THE HAYWOOD TRIAL IS
DRAWING TO A CLOSE
u 10 Probable That a Verdict or DIsa.
greement viii be Reached Within
the Next Two Weeks.

Boise, Idaho.-A beginning Of the
end OF the Haywood trial has been
reached Counsel for the defense an.
nounce that, with the exception of
three or four witnesses, the case in
direct is before the jury. Charles II.
Meyer. the accused president of the
Western Federation of Miners, will be
called as a witness, and will be fol-
lowed by William ID. Haywood, the
defendant. Judge Fremont Wood has
asked counsel on both sides to submit
their requests for instructions to the
Jury. He has informed counsel that
he will consider these requests and
will agree with counsel as to what his
instructions shall be in order that the
arguments on both sides may be limit
ed to what the jury will be allowed to
consider in the evidence.
1t is now confidently expected that
verdict will have been reached and
the trial ended within the next two
weeks.
The five witnesses placed on the
stand on July 5th added support to
those who have preceded them. They
were called to testify concerning con-
ditions existing in Colorado during the
disturbances at Cripple Creek. and to
show that there was no reason to call
out the militia. Orchard was further
discredited by Owen Barnes, min
err, who lived near the Independence
mine, and who Orchard said assisted
him in the manufacture of bombs.
Barnes said he knew Orchard, Adams
and Easterly and others, but fatty
denied that he ever planned or dis
cussed any criminal expedition with
Orchard.
J. Wolff, who swore that he was
| financial clerk for George Pettibone
for many years and closed up Petit
bones business after he was arrested,
proved one of the strong witnesses for
! the defense in its widespread contra
diction of Orchard. In his statement
on the stand Orchard swore that when
he was in San Francisco on the Brad
| ley killing expedition, he sent to Pet
tibone for money, which he received
in registered letter containing five
500 bills. He said the letter was
mated that this was a name under
which Pettibone passed. The witness
swore that he had sent Orchard no
money, but that he had sent regis
tered letter to Orchard as Jack
Dempsey" addressed him I'm San Fran
cisco. This letter, Wolff swore, con-
tanned Masonic charm and a union
Pettibone, and for which 1t has been
testified he wrote after his arrival In
San Francisco.

his whole life, and that he will be
