Character Study of the Three Defend.
 ants on Trial at Boise, Ida.
 Of the three officials of the Western Federation of Miners now on trial at Boise, Ida for their lives on the charge of having conspired to cause the mur der of ey Governor Frank Steunenberg of Idaho, w. D. Haywood, secretary and treasurer of the miners organiza- ton, makes the best impression on first acquaintance, says Oscar King Davis, the Boise correspondent of the New York Times. He is a big. sturdy fellow. with a square head and solid jaw. He has lost the sight of his right eye and has developed d curious trick of turn ing his face away as if to conceal his misfortune and rolling his left eye around to keep track of what is going oD. It gives him queer, unnaturally furtye expression. Tot at all in keeping with his strai ghtforward manner when personally addressed.
 Haywood is q Socialist and an ideal ist. He is fond of reading and devotes much of his time to it, making it both recreation and study. His friends say that although he is deeply concerned in making the most vigorous fight possi- ble to escape conviction, he has not lost sight of the fact that the death penalty in this case would make him a martyr of organized labor.
 But Charles H. Mover, president of the federation, and George A. Petit bone find no such compensation in their situation. They are both more prac. tlcal men, desperately intent on mak ing a winning defense. Mover was the brains of the Western Federation of Miners and it's chief organizer. He $ of the labor leader type and always ex- tremely popular with the regular labor union man. He makes fiery speech and carries his audience with him. He has the reputation of being the best l man on his feet in the ranks of organ. ized labor today. Pettibone in appear ance its the description reported t0 have been given of him by Harry Or l chard. He is slight man, below the l average height, with weak chin and l the good natured grin that goes with it. When 1 saw the three defendants ia the county jail the other day Haywood had just come down from the court room, where he had listened to the ad. verse ruling of Judge Fremont Wood. In court he was very nervous and had difficulty in maintaining an outward show of composure. He seldom faced l the judge, but continually rolled his left eye toward the bench, while seem l ing to look the other way. But in his cell he is different man. He had nothing to say about his case of course. but manifested a lively interest in what was going on outside and particularly in the effect of the undesirable citi. zen" expression of the president.
 Pettbone was busy at his favorite amusement. typography. He had let 1 of specimens of his work and one which afforded no little amusement. 1t was big piece of leather on which he had burned the motto, So live that every day you can look every man i.4 the face and tell him to go to h.
 The signature Pettibone has adopted for his artistic effects in the burned wood and leather line is a goat. Ke signs all his work with that symbol, and there is an irresistible suggestion of appropria about it, for Petit bone is not in the class with Mover and Haywood He is the sort of man found in all small towns-the good natured, handy man who can do job of tinker ] ing, carpentry, painting. general all around usefulness in the small way mechanic line.
 Mover Is tall. dark man, with narrow face and small, deep set eyes and high. long nose. His long lower jaw ends in a sharply pointed chin and altogether his face gives the i'm pression of incisiveness which accords with his reputation.
