Statement
by Mrs. Meyer
Denies That She Ever Tried to Have
Her Husband Turn Traitor Re.
mains True as Steel

Mrs. Meyer has issued the following
letter which is self-explanatory:
Editor Denver News
Will you kindly print statement
from me in regard to an article in
the issue of your paper of July 9th,
containing a rumor to the effect that ]
was trying to influence my husband 10
desert, at this late day, the cause for
which he has spent seventeen months
in an Idaho Jail.
Ny husband has nothing to "con-
fess,' if he had he well might merit
my contempt and that of all right
uhinkina people should he turn
States evidence or become a trai-
tor to the organization whose welfare
he has always had so much at heart,
and for which he has suffered SO
greatly.
L wish to state empahtieally that
/ positively have no speaking aequain'
tance and do not even know by sight
the so-called leader Of Boise society
that her husband is owner Of the
Statesman, paper that tried these
cases and convicted the men long be
fore the jury was even selected.
Scarcely probable is it that i would
be so weakminded as to permit my
self to be influenced by people whose
methods are so completely antagon
istie - n. llsHands interests, espec
ipllv ahen ! have never thought fol
one moment shat ! ever was III danger
OF being "made n.d"w Il rough the
verdict Of the jury" as your paper &c
delicately (D puts it, simply becaus,
I have always been firm in my convic
tion that no jury could ever find my
husband guilty of anything except i
might be loyalty to the working class
and this loyalty 1 can assure you i
fully endorsed and commended by my
self, and always has been notwith
standing all reports to the contrary.
/ must say that i am surprised tha
a paper as fair as the "Times" ha!
been, wound give enough credence t,
such a rumor as to print it. 1 cal
well understand the anxiety Of sucl
correspondents as the "New Yorl
World' and some others to find sensa
tional features in this case, and if tn
case does not furnish them, they mus
manufacture a story to suit themselve
or what they may think the occasion
warrants. In my opinion these report
ers had better confne themselves t
correctly reporting the evidence a
brought out by tho defense, as wei
as the prosecution.
trust you will give this a promi
nent place in your paper, as I fee
that 1 have been maligned and wish I
assert my loyalty to the working pee
pie as well as sympathizers who hav
come forward so nobly to our aid i
this the hour of our greatest need.

Haywood's
Testimony
Tells of His Connection With Union in
Straight Forward Way-MakeS
a Good Impression

legated and that he had helped to re-
legate him politically.
When asked as to his personal feel
ing towards Steunenberg, he said he
regarded him the same as every other
politician-swayed by capitalist inter
ests.
He told at some length of the pur'
poses for which the union was formed,
Of meeting Orchard first at the Denver
convention of 1904, called for the
unions of the state to consider the
political situation. He denied that he
or the Federation had ever had any
dealings with Orchard except in a gen
eral way as any other member.
In giving the history of the Cripple
Creek strike he said the unions had
established the stores in self. defense
after the merchants had refused ere
dit to the miners and raised the price
of their goods.
As in the case of Meyers testimony
Borah laid particular stress upon how
the Federation came to take up Or
chard's case after he was arrested fol
the murder of Steunenberg The pa
pers had stated that a postal card ad
dressed to Meyer was found in Or
chard's suit case. Within two or three
days after the crime the papers an
nounced that the W. F. NJ. was re
sponsible because Of Steunenberg 4
connection with the Occur d'Alenes
troubles.
1t had been the custom of the Fed
Grafton from the beginning to find law
yers and money at once when informa
tion was received that the Federation
was being attacked, as was being don'
all the time and in every conceivable
way by the wolfish mine owners. The,
are always waiting, ready to spring
at the throat of the unions on tn,
slightest pretext. Ii is only through
the strength of the mutual protection
and watchfulness that the organiza
tions of the working class can lv'
at all.
On the cross examination Boral
dwelt particularly on the feeling il
lthe Federation against Steunenberg
Haywood said they looked upon him a
one hostile to labor, and untrue to hi
oath of office.
Haywood was questioned in regar'
to all the methods of the unions TO
their protection as though they wer
crimes against society. And it wa
more and more evident to the careful
observer that the arch crime that tn
unions commit is lessening the porft
Of the men that hire labor.

for several weeks. The first intima-
tion he had Of the disaster was seeing
fash at the end of his cigar. His
first thought was that some one had
fixed loaded cigar for him.
The San Francisco evidence is one
Of the most valuable features of the
trial so far as the defense is concern
ed. 1t absolutely places the lie upon
Orchards bogie stories, from unim-
peachable legal evidence, matter Of
record, and outside Of the testimony
of the Western Federation of Miners
themselves. Now if Orchard has un-
deniably lied about so serious an ac.
cusation as the San Francisco affair,
it shows that his touching conversion
was not so deep, so thorough, or so
true but what he would manufacture
an absolutely false tale in order to
lend himself to the Vaccinations Of
the Pinkertons in throwing odium
upon the Federation and hanging its
officials in order to get the union out
of the way Of the rapacity and greed
Of the mine owners.
If Orchard lied in this one instance,
the whole structure Of his confession is
falls to the ground even though he may
have woven much truth into the fan
tastic yarn. His purpose is plain in
attempting the destruction Of the Fed
GRAFTON consequently no part Of his
statement is trustworthy.
The unqualified dietum Of the Idaho
law that the evidence Of an accomplice
must be supported by sufficient cor
roborative evidence outside the con.
fession is protection to the accused
that is amply illustrated in this case
One would hardly learn that Hay
wood was on trial from sitting in the
court room. He is never made a sub
iect of the discussions. The sole top
is of the persecution has been Orchard
and of the defense the Colorado

BOISE, July IA.
Saturday morning the defense as.
tonished the court by announcing that
IL rested.
Immediately the prosecution began
to call its witnesses on rebuttal. This
whole proceeding on the part of the
state was particularly stupid. One
point especially was so far-fetched as
to be positively ridiculous. And that
was the attempt made through r. E,
Grimshaw, tax collector Of Lawrence
county, South Dakota, to introduce
evidence of John M. o'Neill, editor OF
the "Miners Magazine" having been
convicted of manslaughter years age
when but a youth of %. As the rec
ord showed that the killing was ac'
cidental when both men were under
the influence of liquor, and as o'Neill
served his time, and had been back tc
the country since as a public speaker
1t was indeed a mystery to ascertain
how this circumstance could possibly
affect Haywood trial for the murder
Steunenberg.
A strenuous effort was made to dis
pute Elliott's testimony. This is tn,
old soldier who swore to meeting Or
chard on the train, and having q con
versation with him relative to thu
mine owners breaking up the unions
Employees of both railroads wer,
brought TO exhibit train times on Ger
tain days. But the showing was simpl,
n hugo bluff.
There were numerous efforts at re
buttal on unimportant points, but they
were well riddled by the defense at
torneys. The evidence was valuabl,
chiefly MS showing the fine Italian han'
OF the Pinkertons behind IT, The tes
timony is 80 evidently made to order
